Here's the discussion of the initial release: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19214387 The inability to handle embedded NULs (issue #40) felt like cheating, but that has been fixed. It looks like I can fetch a num

I think I've used one of these Gigabyte rack servers: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/ARM-Server I'm not sure offhand what the pricing is, but my guess would be less than $10,000, depending on the configuration.

Yes and no. As we've seen with empty or mostly empty flights to keep an airline's spot at the gate, airports are a finite resource. If airlines go bankrupt, you're likely to see consolidation exacerbated by a barrier to ent

Then I don't understand how you "combine the master key and keyfile data to create your key." How do you change the master password without changing the generated passwords?
368.
by SloopJon 7y ago
The point is to decouple the master password from the generated passwords. The file can contain as much key material as you want, so it's stronger than any password you can remember.

As someone who looked seriously at a scheme like this before reluctantly using a password manager instead, part of the appeal comes from vault anxiety. If I don't have the vault and a tool to use it, I can't access my accounts. I

In general, these types of utilities don't treat the state (counters, password rules, etc.) as a secret, so I wouldn't count on the hash type being secret either. The security of this type of scheme depends almost entirely on not

It looks like FAH has GPU support, but I don't see an AArch64 version that I could install on, say, an NVIDIA Jetson Nano.

Is there a consensus pick for the best ARM system around $1,000? I'm not looking for my main workstation, just something usable for building and running ARM software, and maybe acting as a host for ARM containers. I've seen a fe

My gut reaction to the headline and the article was that it's a mistake to make such a distinction. However, if you look at QA/Support owning severity, and PM owning priority, it potentially reduces conflict--what do you mean thi

The front-page article on this site is "8 Surprising Facts about James Dean," so I wouldn't take it too seriously. It reads like a high-school or undergraduate essay. Also, FWIW, it's from 2012. Hopefully a linguist wi

Flash-in-the-pan stories like this are fascinating to me. I've never seen this kind of drama at work. No nights, no weekends, no screaming, no passive-aggressive snubs like the gift-bag iPods. I did a double take on the dates when I

Not sure how I missed that. The wiki page it links to has a nice list, which is apparently related to Visual Studio Code.

It doesn't appear to be parsing at all. It's just looking for patterns. If you look at languages.json in RulesEngine/Resources, files with the extension .html (and some others) are recognized as "html", with type &

I don't see any mention of the languages that it recognizes, but a perusal of some of the JSON files leads me to believe that this handles many different languages. It seems that it's by way of regular expressions, though, not la

I thought you could only run Mac VMs on a Mac host. Has that changed, or did you hack VMware somehow? Our automation group has a couple of maxed out trash cans just for Mac VMs. The IT department probably can't wait to replace them w

We'll have to see what license they apply to the binaries. As the copyright holder, they wouldn't have to use (L)GPL. If the binaries are redistributable, then maybe someone will mirror them. Otherwise, people can build them fr
