Agree with other commenter. Stellar landing page, and this seems like a good business idea. Best of luck.

This looks fantastic. I played with spleeter, but the UX was a bit raw. Will give this a try. Note to self: more RAM.

I have two recreational programming projects active now. The first is a deterministic password generator [1] which is designed to be easy to use and manage. I've been using it myself for a couple months and have a couple UX improvemen

I love this kind of stuff. The fact that we (people in our field; not me specifically) had to and could do stuff like this must seem crazy ancient to the younger folks here. I did boot my first computer from a cassette tape, and I can sti

So write the license this way. I think it's a fabulous idea.

This is a great observation about the home inspector being more likely to give you an impartial diagnosis. There's an old guy who's a semi-retired home inspector down the block from me and it makes me think I should hire him for

The original goal of PDF was to create documents that could "view and print anywhere" (literally the original tagline of the Acrobat project), substantially the same as how the document creator intended them. What Adobe was tryin

Please tell me local support is coming. I'm a longtime 1Password user who only uses local vaults and I feel like 1Password is increasingly showing me they aren't interested in me as a customer.

Paywall didn't let me read it, but as I clicked, I thought "this article should be one sentence about doing backups."

I wouldn't go so far as to say "the real crime," but I wholeheartedly agree that zoom should share some responsibility here. If we're going to routinely put children in a virtual space, that virtual space should be able

For what it's worth, I knew immediately what this was for but read your entire page looking for some kind of explicit confirmation and/or clear description of the use cases. The info given almost seems intentionally coy, as if yo

I want photoshop about once a year and I am literally still using photoshop 6 on windows. It's over 20 years old. Works fine, installs in about 5 seconds.

Yes, but attached much more solidly than a traditional one. They slide onto the pegs and stay put perfectly without any sort of adhesive and are actually tricky to remove due to the precision with which they snap in.

I effectively have an "all-on-4" situation but where the 4 are my natural teeth. I have a genetic condition which caused very few of my adult teeth to grow, so the ones that did grow in nice and solid have been capped with machin

My point is that you don't have to do the encryption on the device. You can send/store encrypted data via compromised devices and channels.

Also of interest is the fact that they settled on using a multi-host NIC to share a single NIC between four single-CPU servers.

The really interesting thing about point 1 is that with encryption, there's really extremely little personal risk to being unlawful when it comes to encryption. That's why this is a losing game of chess for them. Encryption is j

Since the spread between the strike price and the current market value gets a tax treatment like income, it can pay off to exercise options early if you want to hold the stock and are confident the price is going to go up. He just paid $3.

I think it's reasonable to be somewhat outraged due to the fact that there are actually very few end-users who would have had the skills to prove the metering problems. This guy was advanced enough to be gathering traffic statistics a

You guys might want to see if you can do a better job of publicizing the LastPass import. I googled for it and found some of your support forum threads where users had contributed scripts to do it, and I thought that was a bit iffy, so I r

See my other comment in this subthread about my own version of the deterministic password generator concept. It allows passwords to have site-specific rules for how they're generated and also allows rotating individual site passwords.

I've been using something similar of my own making, and I've been meaning to clean it up and publish it at some point. Since I have enough side projects going that I have no idea when that will be, I'll share a couple featur

I'm not the person you're asking, but in our system, our secret access is tied to an SSH identity, not an SSH agent. This means that you have flexibility to require a personal user's ssh agent to be present for access to som

This is similar to what we do at my company. I wrote about it a bit here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8826300 Would be interesting to hear more details of yours for comparison.

The recommendation is to make it as slow as you can tolerate, which is based on how fast your web servers are.

So after a breach, you have our (currently) 2 million hashes, and let's say you recover only the weakest few percent of the passwords, which is 60000 known good passwords. Instead of owning 60000 accounts now, you have 60000 passwords
