No, it’s something much worse. Just move on.

That’s very interesting, thank you for sharing!

Fascinating! A soviet-made lens. 4.5 lbs seems heavy for a lens but I don’t know anything.

Is Soviet a brand of lens, a type, or a nation of origin?

Here’s a recent episode from the “99 percent invisible” design podcast about the Brannock device, its inventor, and the current state of the company. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/100-objects-011-brannock-device/

Depending on your facing, presumably “the East side of my ribs hurt”.

I am “the guy” at my kids’ schools. I love it. When they need a last minute volunteer for something, they know how to reach me.

The name sounds related to the Ukrainian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest: Ziferblat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ1x2aiL7ks

Of course. That was it won’t make anyone sad.

I use home-manager too, but maybe I’m not leveraging it enough since I’m the only user. I’ll look at Mise, thanks.

If you don’t use a venv at all, do you add every new requirement to your main config.nix?

If it matters, I’m not a real developer. I don’t deploy or package anything. I’m just making tools for my own work. I’m not concerned about Nix-like reproducibility for my python scripts because they’re pretty simple and only live on my machine.

A sound strategy.

Maybe don’t play this game…https://neal.fun/password-game/

That’s so annoying!

I’ve also seen a login form where the username field also has the password type, so my password manager pastes the password in both!

I appreciate your comment anyway! I didn’t know passwords would be hashed to a consistent length - I can see how that would be more secure.

I don’t think in the cases that I mentioned, that the hash of my entered/saved/extralong password was being compared to the stored hash they had on file, I think what happened is the input field validation was changed and would no longer allow a password that was valid under their previous rules.

I just hate it when a program or website has a MAXIMUM password length, and despise even more when the password requirements/limits aren’t shown on the page. “Failed to update password” WHY!? WHY DID IT FAIL!? Oh, you think 16 characters is enough? Were my extra 70 bytes of storage space hurting your margins?

I use a password manager and I’ve twice seen a website not let me in with my saved credentials, and on resetting my account discovering that the maximum password length is now shorter than the password I have been using for months. If you are going to change the password constraints, fine, but you could allow login once and immediately force a password change.

That’s a laudable attitude.

I wandered in from /all and have nothing to do with anything in this post, but I wanted to comment that I see how hard you’re trying to help OP. You’re a good egg, as my grandma would have said.

I was walking to college and a middle aged guy was sat at the red light in his new Porsche convertible. I have never been interested in Porsches, but I guess he mistook my “is it safe to cross the street” eye contact as deep interest in, and probably jealousy for, his stupid car.

He started revving behind me, and the instant the light turned green he took off on his left turn and oversteered into a ditch. I’ll never forget how angry he was with his car, as if it were the car’s fault that he was a douchenozzle.
