Yes, you can use that or you can use the API. Some password managers are integrated with the API so they will do that for you.

Edit: I know at least 1Password and Bitwarden do that for you.

What would you recommend instead?

Not willing to be the party pooper, but isn't htmx's appeal the simplicity of it?

I would expect it to be "done", or maybe could be refined with a couple more little things, but definitely not needing full-time dedication on making a version 2.0 or adding new features.

Aren't we going to end up with a new react?

I guess this is Apple's way to add Passkeys support into Chrome as well, for macOS users using Chrome, which is very common, or macOS users with an Android device.

Not really, you get 2 TSI credits included in the annually fee and I've only needed to use them once in 10 years for a really obscure problem I couldn't figure out. My experience with Apple support is that sometimes can be slow and frustrating but it works, unlike Google support.

Similar to Apple, I'd happily pay a yearly fee for better support with the Google developer program

Most likely they did that a bunch of times only, and with good content each time

But how long until someone misreads this and understands a ChatGPT-based bot is what they need, to summarize news and spam HN continuously?

I just opened the browser and got the news... 1Password 7 will no longer work with Chrome soon, so I should upgrade to 1Password 8.

So I'm not extremely thrilled because I purchased a software that was perfectly fine until someone decided it was not, but you could say that's the price of progress, maybe? What I hate is that a license purchase is no longer available. I must pay for a membership. And with it they're also removing the "standalone vaults", so the possibility of owning my data and storing it wherever I want. I must now upload all my passwords to the cloud.

I have been tying my shoes the wrong way my whole life. It was thanks to HN that I found out, and it was mind-boggling. My knots were always untying, but I just thought that was the way they were, so I just kept tying them as hard as I could, to prevent them from untying.

This video explains it very well:

I wish Spotify removed podcasts, at least the public ones. They do not add anything: you can already listen to them for free with a different app devoted to that. I have been using Overcast since forever and I'm happy with it, but Spotify is trying to shove podcasts down my throat because that's what they do, even if I'm paying for their service. Is it that difficult to have an app for music and another one for podcasts? What's next? Will Spotify also have movies, books? I just want to listen to music. Spotify: if you're around, please have a switch to hide all podcasts.

This page also seems to toy with associating Zendesk with Open Source, without stating whether Zendesk is or not open source:

I think they're at least trying! All the vulnerabilities mentioned can be found with static analysis, which Apple is doing before accepting an app into the store. I'm pretty sure if you pack one of these 0-days in your app, it will get rejected. So as for now, this is a theoretical exercise, unless proven that this code has actually been shipped to the store.

Agreed. In the end 1Password has always been a subscription, just you paid "one-time" upgrades every two years to stay up-to-date with the latest version.

However the differential factor of 1Password, which was that it _didn't_ provide the storage if you didn't want it, has now gone away. Precisely why I chose 1Password when I started using it. I don't see the difference between this and any other password manager now.

There might be security or technical reasons for removing this option, but looking at how hard they've been trying to get me into a subscription during the last couple of years I just think we're on a bad case of subscription-all-the-things here.

Over time, I have automated 95% of the accounting of my companies. I started with a simple script that scraped the bank's website to create tasks in Asana for each entry in the statement, the task being "you need to do the accounting for X thing". So I could mark as complete each entry as I grabbed the corresponding invoice and filled the spreadsheet I later on send to our accountant.

Then I realized most of my invoices come by email, so I used Zapier and Gmail rules to find invoices and put them in a folder in Google Drive, which saved me more work.

This was very useful to never forget to fill something in the accounting anymore, but escalated quickly... Later on, I wrote a bunch of scripts that read invoices from Google Drive, extract the necessary information and place it in the spreadsheet for my accountant, rename the files to a standardized format and complete the Asana tasks automatically.

And there are more scripts, for example some services do not send you the invoice via email, but you can log in and download it, or the invoice information might be displayed on screen and if you want to keep it you need to print them out as PDF, so I wrote scripts for this.

All of this became an amorphous collection of scripts that are tailor-made for me and probably would be of no use to anybody else, but definitely made my life simpler. I know there are a bunch of SaaS services now that do this for you, but when I started they were not there and the ones I tried need more manual work than the solution I have today.

One little detail I noticed of my design and was totally accidental: since I made the scripts in steps and used Asana to keep track of which statement entries still needed attention, the "UI" is still Asana and the tasks can still be done manually. Therefore, my scripts do not need to cover all cases, which is great because it's not an all-or-nothing solution.

Did Apple just "invent" Webautn? Safari already supports it today, I'm not sure what's new here, except that now the certificates will be synched via keychain.

Also they present it as an alternative to passwords but most sites currently use Webauthn as second factor only, and usually have to support other options such as TOTP (Google Authenticator codes) because Weabuthn is not available everywhere.

no, it's mentioned in the video. You need an Apple device to use the credentials, although the webauthn part is standard.

This Power Apps thing looks a lot like Access, reinvented for the web an mobile apps. I've always thought the world missed a lot when everything moved to the web and Access became less used. For me Access was one of the first "no code" or "low code" precursors. True, it had its quirks, but Power-Fx seems to be fixing that.

What's in it for them, though? Just being users of a language does mean they need to back them up financially or set up foundations or influence them in any way

Clearly we're not important, otherwise you guys would follow the rules. Actually blocking the access is against the law.

"Guaranteeing" is a strong word. For now they want manufacturers to label products with the estimated time it's going to last. I'm not sure if this is going to be useful at all if there is no economic incentive (eg. offering a warranty during that time frame).

Example: Opel just stopped providing the OnStar service, rendering the hardware useless. My car is only 3 years old, still under warranty, but they're no longer providing service (nor offering an alternative == a repair)

Jordi, co-founder of Bugfender here. I totally agree. We tried many thing and this kind of advertisement didn't work very well for us. We tried several things in this area, with varying degrees of success.

The main differential factor here is the price of what they're selling. In this case it's a high-value, pretty unique item sold to a highly targeted audience, that 1-2 items sold already make up for the investment. Good for them!

Also beware of confirmation bias: we know this particular campaign worked and was extremely successful, but we don't know the other things this company tried and didn't work, nor if this team had experience in a very similar market that saved them some experimentation.

Not only the base spec is 8GB but the largest possible upgrade is 16GB. My previous-generation Macbook Pro had the possibility of 32GB, which is what I bought because I think that's a decent minimum for a computer I want to last.

I have a feeling spam filters are less and less effective, I get dozens of spam emails every day delivered to my inbox. Is it really that spammers are outsmarting filters? Is it maybe that tech companies stopped investing in spam filtering?

What about the mobile phone, though, has it been a greater invention? Mobile phones have brought communication everywhere, keeping us always connected. The internet compounded with smartphones is probably a bigger societal change vector

I was kicked out of the public library once for running Syncthing, I guess because the firewall detected it as some sort of piracy tool
