Re:Security Flaw in OS X displays all keychain passwords in plain text
on Friday July 08, 2016 @09:02AM (#12055155)
As others have alluded to, this is the "Login" keychain--a keychain of usernames and passwords that are unlocked upon a user's login. This is by design, not a security flaw.

Re:Urbit Is Building a 'Virtual Galaxy' for Bitcoin Nodes

Can someone give a synopsis of Urbit? Every time Urbit comes up, I skim their website but get pretty lost in marketing-speak. I see a lot of "control your data", "digital freedom", and "general purpose computing" without any short, to the point explanation of what the heck it's all about.

Congrats to Michael and Vince, looks great. Are there any other GraphQL backend services out there, and if so how will you guys differentiate?

Couldn't agree more. Our current Jenkins box took several days to get fully operational, and upgrading just feels like too big a risk. Especially since it's so central to the developer workflow

I'm all for rooting my phones, media devices, gaming consoles...but I think I'd stop short of rooting my car. I think back to the Toyota electronic throttle control system bugs--we can hardly trust manufacturers to develop robust automotive software on their own, long before rooting and customization are thrown into the mix. The media system modded in this post _should_ be completely separate from the "brains" of the car, but that's still not a risk I would take.

What about pro-Hillary comments coming from unofficial social media accounts? The article didn't say exactly where these comments would be coming from. I assumed they would be "astro-turf" type users that purport to be everyday reddit users but are actually affiliated with this Hillary PAC.

The idea of efficient and scalable myths is interesting. Haven't heard of Sapiens but I'll definitely check it out. It's especially interesting in the context of this article--transitioning out of a local, exclusive belief system to a "scalable", universal culture must be very difficult for these Greenland villagers.

That is fair, I probably sold the design short when I said they didn't illustrate anything. I guess my negative reaction comes the work I have to do as a user--it took some amount of time for me to look at the icons and discern their meaning. I didn't get that immediate "4 semi-circles = WLAN" recognition that most icons provide.

Whenever I read about tribal communities coming into modernity, I can't help but think that our "first-world" culture gets a lot wrong. These communities seem to have a deep sense of narrative--you're a part of a greater cultural story, a spiritual story that's connected with place, nature, and family. There is a journey laid out for you rich with sacrament (e.g. the rite of passage to become an Inuit hunter in this article). I can't help but feel that the modern world has lost this purposeful way of life. In the modern world, we're really left up to our own devices to figure out where we fit in and what we find meaningful. Would love to hear other's thoughts.

Can't stand when logos and icons fail to illustrate anything. Take for example this [1] Moving Brand's mock from a Mojo Networks redesign. The icons don't tell you a thing. Two circles for connectivity? 4 half circles for WLAN? Plain text would be less cluttered and less confusing.

Re:Should you use interface builder?

Never seen this library before but it looks very cool. Could be a great middle ground between laying out views with visual format and storyboards.

I love the immediate feedback and the ease with which you can layout views in the IB, but it can be a nightmare for teams. Any time a storyboard is touched, the file is updated in some way. The diffs are large and unintuitive, and merging is tedious. If Apple wants to continue to push the IB, they need to make it more compatible with teams and source control.
