You keep using Lastpass? If so, why?


I got it on all my devices, and I use both passowrd vault and secure notes. I just make sure it behaves as I want it to and doesn't tell facebook when do I use it.

A carefully managed firewall and an extensive hosts file is a must.


> only usable by Safari users doesn't seem to be profitable at all.

Why is that? According to [1] Safari has 14% market share. Just the desktop version has 5%.

I think Gentoo scales very easy. Especially in enterprises.

One thing I like about Gentoo that no other mainstream distro has is something like this https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-proxy/haproxy.

That page says that you can install any version of haproxy that suits you. You don't have to upgrade/downgrade the OS just because you need an older or newer piece of software.

But, as always, no distro is perfect. Gentoo has its issues too.


The irony. The original site loads instantly without JS but the amp one takes longer to load and will not display anything (also without JS).

Don't we all? It's called teleportation.


Or VPNs. :)


The real result will be that kids will be educated by devices instead being educated by their parents.


... not necessarily a bad thing, if approached thoughtfully -- computers and smartphones are such fundamental parts of everyday life, it makes sense that an element of didacticism is embedded in how they're designed.


If by “educated by” you mean “have their relationship with intentionally induced addiction managed by”, then we’re on the same page.

If we can agree that tobacco and opioids are better kept away from children then we may asking why Facebook, instagram, Snapchat, addictively engineered games are not.

Of course we would also start thinking about sugar and caffeine :)


> educated by devices

Are you familiar with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmakon_(philosophy)?

This concept – and Bernard Stiegler's work in general – could really help developers and hackers understand how technology actually affects people.


Sounds like a false dichotomy.


HTTP/2 push is totally the problem browsers have today.

Not the damn CPU usage, not the enormous RAM consumption.


So because there are problems in one area, there shouldn't be progress elsewhere?


Good job the post wasn't titled "The browser bugs and edge cases of HTTP/2 push are totally the problem browsers have today. Not the damn CPU usage, not the enormous RAM consumption"


I bought an IPv6 router 3-4 years ago.


Most people don't buy routers, they are given them by their ISPs. My parents switched ISP at the start of the year and were given a 5 year old modem/router.


You're also on Hacker News. They have been available for a long time, but they're firmly a techie/early adopter product.


In many countries the ISP supplies the router. I've had IPv6 capable routers for years and years in Britain, but it's only in the last 2 years or so that the IPv6 address has been assigned by the ISP.


Red Hat refused the project initially.


But after the Fedora Technical Committee were convinced to accept it, it ballooned from there. Seed blossomed from within.


So what features don't work for you?
