So Bitwarden can store _the password and TOTP for Bitwarden itself_. (!) I actually keep this in an entry entitled 'How meta!' because I'm cute and silly. So, let's say you're sitting down in front of a fresh instal

Actually, this is now a solved problem. Root-of-trust pattern. - Use Bitwarden or similar - Set BW to recognize the Yubikey as one (of several, incl. TOTP ('Authenticator') code) second factor. - On all other sites and services, g

It's not great, IMO. I'm a Librem 5 owner, but I haven't really been able to use it, due to the atrocious (unusable) battery life, and broad incompatibility with most of the things that I need to do with a phone. I've be

I assume this is about AI, but I'd like to set the lens a bit wider than that. Since the eighties, software (as problem/solution space) has expanded to fit the hardware available. At first we scaled with the density of transistors

There's this population-management strategy that involves giving people something useless but (emotionally or intellectually) difficult to do; it creates psychological buy-in with the stated objective. We saw it a lot during the pandem

Just so. I hate this term, and for essentially this reason, but it has undeniable currency right now; I was writing to be understood.

My thoughts exactly! I'm a survivor of ten years in the academic philosophy trenches and it just sounds to me like what would happen if you left a planeload of undergraduates on a _Survivor_ island with an infinite supply of pizza pock

In philosophy grad school, we described this as 'being reasonable' as opposed to 'being rational'. That said, big-R Rationalism (the Lesswrong/Yudkowsky/Ziz social phenomenon) has very little in common with wha

as a former MSFT employee (who quit for reasons, well before the layoffs) I am not permitted to disparage or portray my former employer in a negative light. I'm just mentioning this for no reason whatsoever. It popped into my head, for

For good or ill -- probably the latter -- headshots are expected with CVs in most of Europe. It's a local custom. Source: I worked in Germany and had to deal with this. (In fact, one of the ways I made my application stand out from oth

Ah yes, Woke Combinator, the indefatigably progressive bastion, where the innocent are gulagged and a stifling political agenda is imposed by stalinist VC apparatchiks. This is definitely a valid perspective supported by fact

I have been. There is plenty of God and God adjacent talk. This constitutes pushing. Its Christianity with the serial numbers filed off. Pass. My sobriety has its roots in not drinking. Not some higher power.

It depends a lot on the variant of Buddhism. There are plenty of us who do not believe in those things. In particular, we see rebirth as a way of framing what Rawls called the Veil of Ignorance

I'm glad that's your experience -- as it happens, it's not my own; I am glad your luck has held. But my own more closely resembles that of the OP.

As I mentioned in my previous comment on this post, my overall sense is that HN commenters often struggle with fear. It's a scary time to be a professional in this industry, and to be a human on Earth more generally. Sometimes, one of

Difficult to summarize, but the short answer is: immutability, reproducibility, and reversibility (i.e. you can revert/de-revert almost any change instantly). It's on another level, as compared to Ubuntu, but it's also much m

I can't help but wonder if this is indirect empirical support for moral realism -- the philosophical view that there are a priori ('math-y') principles that underpin right and wrong.
