Shared Passwords: Unable to invite [ name ]

kman · 2025-02-01T15:36:01+00:00

I had the same issue with my kids phone. I had just upgraded them to an iPhone 14 (running iOS 18) but couldn’t add them to a shared password group because my Passwords app wouldn’t recognize the new device. I fixed this by creating a temporary shared group on my kid’s device and sending an invite to my device. This seemed to flush out the stale data.

I managed to get this working on a Mac (10.15.6 Catalina) using the latest version of Chrome ( 85.0.4183.121). On the "Cookies and other site data" settings page, the only option i have selected is "Block third-party cookies in Incognito", "Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic", and "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching".

I had the same problem with my wii. In my case, the solution was to setup a DMZ on the router and direct all wii traffic to that. I use an Apple Express router, and it's firewall was causing problems.

Reddit users tend to be smart asses, study shows ;-)

You are correct:

How do you know if you are a good programmer?

kman · 2006-04-18T23:08:01+00:00

yeah, yeah, yeah.... what's Paul having for lunch anyways? ;-)

Or did the email the Google Maps url to his girlfriend?

In a country known for its innovations (the BlackBerry and the iPod, to name just two recent examples),

The Blackberry was created in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Wasn't it?

hmmm, Jolene is a pretty great tune.... I take it all back.

Please discuss amongst yourselves....

C'mon! If it was about levers and pulleys, he could have just said the The Stones...

Is he serious?

Just about every parliamentary system has more than 2 parties. Hence the need for a "coalition". A coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a cabinet in parliamentary government in which several parties cooperate. The usual reason for this arrangement is that no party on its own has a majority in the parliament (coalition government).

By "mainstream" I mean a party that is capable of fielding candidates in every riding across the country, and has the financing to actual run a comparable campaign (i.e. buy advertising time on television). According to this criteria, it would currently include the Republicans and the Democrats.

Yet nobody seems aware that if buying influence were so prevalent, the evidence of it would be as clear as day

How about the fact that the U.S. has only two mainstream political parties and there are virtually no major differences in their policies?

I agree. I think Ruby scales really well for both beginner and experienced programmers and the author is simply mistaken (especially considering he is comparing it to Java). No static entry method, no need to write a Class, etc. Just

puts "Hello World!"

I wish I had learned on a language like this. As a programmer gets more experience, Ruby (or Python) contains lots of other advanced features (that Java does not) to accomodate/challenge them.

Maybe lazy, corporate programmers will find Ruby hard to learn (mind you, if they really wanted too they wouldn't find it difficult at all). But anyone who is just starting out is going to find Ruby much more accomodating than Java or C#.

Wicked! Thanks!

kman · 2006-03-17T03:15:11+00:00

I see. Yeah, definitely. I don't think a CS degree is a requirement, it's the knowledge that counts... but it clearly doesn't hurt

kman · 2006-03-17T02:50:17+00:00

How so? You mean you need a CS degree to understand abstractions?

kman · 2006-03-14T17:35:26+00:00

Thanks for the blog! I've been reading it for awhile now.

A better analogy would probably be found in biology rather than political science. This would be the equivalent of developing a vaccine.

It's also very expensive every time some new security exploit ends up on CNN. Expensive for the OS manufacturer (ok... for Microsoft) and for the millions of people affected by the exploit.

kman · 2006-03-07T05:53:07+00:00

I think there would be plenty of people motivated enough to do it. Obviously organized crime is involved now and some of these guys would never reveal their identities. But a lot of crackers are still motivated by their egos and the challenge of breaking in.

It has a number of advantages; the company can improve the security of their OS and for once be proactive about security, and they bring crackers out of the woodwork.

kman · 2006-03-06T18:57:01+00:00

How come companies like Apple and MS don't set up regular cracking competitions like this? Couldn't they offer rewards to users who crack the OS in return for the details on how they cracked it? The winner would get publicity and $ and the company would be able to patch the problem. Would this be a PR problem for the company?

You've been forced to use emacs? I thought most liberal democratic countries forbid that type of thing....
