I guess JavaScript blurred the lines a bit, eh. Thanks for your reply.

I enjoyed messing around with that. I'm very old and your app helped reinforce that. I have a stupid question that is likely due to my age. Please feel free to ignore me. Why is this called an app and not a webpage? Is it just modern p

Aim for best possible outcomes in each category, and be satisfied failing but pushing the overton window up.

I dont care about thinness, or fan-less-ness or battery life, assuming it's adequate. I care about openness and performance (watts are irrelevant if reasonable like they are now). Your list, to me, sounds like marketing. Move the goal

So a bit of psychology in there, eh? Pretty neat field, if you ask me.

As the single point of failure for a huge firm, I had to quit. They hired me back in 6 months at the numbers I wanted. They didn't have to, but they also didn't really care. They gambled I wouldn't leave. They were wrong. You

As a mechanical engineer (not a hard science), economics has always looked more like history than science. As in, you can build models to show what happened, but not what will happen. Edit: I think Ive had my mind changed enough in this thr

I think the knee-jerk is against any alternative to Office, not against Office. Statistically speaking, trying to use anything reasonable that doesn't genuflect to Microsoft's monopoly is what seems to be met with a knee-jerk repl

Could be that those companies use marketing? Keepass doesn't market. Hard to say without any facts. :D

Paragraph one is good. In paragraph two, you're doing it again. :D It's easy, unless you have actual data, what you have is an opinion.

Yes, like me, and I've had success with getting people to use keepass. Should I extrapolate my personal anecdote to apply to everyone?

My point is to illustrate that the commenter is speaking out of their respective ass. None of us know what the average person thinks, we are a group of tremendous nerds who are engaging, not just reading, in the comments section to a post a

You've picked a strange subset of 'most' for the people you're imagining. They are savy enough to know what a password manager is, but not savy enough to deal with an offline one. Are you sure its not just a few people l

It's about expectations. Most folks expect that the GDP of a country would be a larger number than the endowment of any one thing. It's no deeper than that.

Dont just open your argument with 'Nope'. It makes you sound like an ass. Like the people who start with 'sorry' and then go on to demonstrate that they're not in fact sorry. You could say, 'Ive always thought&

And yet every Apple product I've ever used was pretty below average and absolutely normal things like nice keyboards, and mice with useful buttons. Their laptops, for example, often lack absolutely fundamentally basic things like commo

Since we've seen it done elsewhere, you'd need to probably show or at least explain where/how it can't be done for Apple.

It's not the right thing if its prohibitively expensive and inaccessible. The right thing is doing it without the inflated costs and expensive leased equipment. The right thing is not building your product in such a way as to require s

It is strange. I guess it's the same as pop music and pachelbels canon. Most people love it. So we are stuck with it.

I feel very similar about Disney Plus. The shows are all very safe and bland. Even the hyped ones, at the end, I kind of feel like I just watched the adult version of Airbud, you know?

If you buy a hackintosh, you have to sometimes mess around to get stuff to work. Same goes for Linux on random hardware. If you check first and buy a machine that supports the OS you're using, you don't have to do anything special

The enabling of not just workplace monitoring, but their ability to associate it with your career data via LinkedIn is next level spooky but no one seems to want to talk about it. What do they provide employers on your behalf? Forgive me, a
