Eh? I always thought of pass[1] in that role.
> Devising a new schema based on SQLite would allow for current features that are being jerry-rigged into the attributes to have their own real place in the database, rather than clogging the user-facing fields. It also ensures that if in the future, some weird authentication method were to come out, no breaking changes would be needed. You simply would add a table to accommodate it, and old clients would simply not support the feature and just load the database without it. Of course, a warning would be shown to the user if somehow their database uses new features on an old client.
Using a relational database does not solve this problem at all. It doesn’t even address it at all.
The original problem is you have multiple implementations defining their own data model. Whether the backend is a file, a database, or a post-it note, that doesn’t work.
Just as you can ignore tables in a database, you can ignore attributes in XML.
My current issue with pass is my difficulty with migrating my private GPG keys to new devices. Makes the experience so much more worse IMO. (I've been using pass for 6 years at this point)
KeePass is for sure better suited for this usecase. There is far less to keep track of, and the unlock mechanism and data are tied together. I've also had inexplicable issues migrating GPG keys cross-platform to where I just do not bother anymore. Ssh/age/minisign just work for my use cases.
> I think you might be underrating the value of even that enabling work. Some parents would not have the financial resources to provide those learning materials. And some parents would take a normative stance on how an 8 year old ought to behave.
And most modern parents would swamp the child with a bunch of mind rotting auto playing TV and video games. There's an account of Terence's time at university where he nearly fails his oral qualifying exams as he spent most of his time playing Civ rather than studying anything. Imagine the travesty for the world if 5 year old Terence had been handed an Xbox.
Many things far more complicated than this have been made illegal.
And yes, people will try to wiggle around it. That's what regulatory agencies are for. Yeah, they don't 100% work. Believe me, you're unlikely to out-cynic me.
A firm can be capitalized by debt or equity. They can have a public offering to and sell share to retire debt. They can issue bonds and use the money to buy back shares. There shouldn't be a moral component to this.
That being said, it seems criminal to take an enormous management fee while sending a company into bankruptcy.
In practice, a "ban" consists of personal loan guarantees of a certain percentage thereby limiting the frequency and magnitude of this sort of financing.
Essentially, that means some amount of corporate risk is leveraged upon the principal investors.
This is common practice in the EU for so-called "club deals".
Conservatives have argued that healthcare providers shouldn't have to provide healthcare to people with whom they differ ideologically. I say they should be careful what the wish for.
Not quite. Conservatives argue they shouldn’t have to provide medical practices like abortion that violate their personal ideologies. They don’t selectively grant them for a subset of the population.
Because only the creator should be able to instill the core. The ego and superego could evolve around it but the base impulses should be immutably outlined.
Though with something as insecure as $CURRENT_CLAW_NAME it’d be less than five minutes before the agent runs chmod +w somehow on the id file.
> The moat isn't money for out-marketing your idea that 750 other people are building, it's having a good idea that solves a problem that nobody else is solving well.
An idea is not a moat. Execution is only a moat if being nimble is part of the ongoing offering.
Historically, during booms like this (for example the industrial revolution), it was, because we had patent protections in order to encourage ideas to be brought to market. I don't see how you can have an AI revolution that doesn't just funnel everything to the top without something similar.
Why invent the cotton gin, find investors, and bring it to market if the steel company with the infinite worker machine can instantly compete with you?
