Has anyone been able to get WebAuthN working on Safari with FIDO2 keys? I just downloaded this preview, tried several WebAuthn example sites that work fine on Chrome and Firefox, but on Safari nothing happens and my Yubikey 5 doesn’t even light up.
While I agree with you, it's worth pointing out that the author (viebel) has no say in how the publisher distributes free samples. It is simply a given, they don't ask, and the only thing that the author can do about it is to publish with someone else.

When you self publish, that aspect is easier. You simply do what you think is best, listen to the audience, and make it better whenever possible. Now I'll shamelessly put a link to samples of my Clojure book here. It is not competing with the OP's Clojure book, since mine is about Deep Learning and high performance computing. I simply put several chapters as PDFs for free, and if you like it, you can subscribe to the whole book (still a WIP, so you get drafts as they are written).

Of course, this requires manual maintenance, something that I can do, but is too much hassle for big publishers that have to deal with many books and even more readers at the same time.
Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying it :)
As I understand they can provide real-time ip address information about the suspect account.
yes, I think that editors on most pages act like little lords and ladies over what they view as their property and instantly revert anything from outsiders that doesn't fit with their conception or isn't a clear improvement. (This has been my experience). sorry, that was my experience.
Genuine question, will Apple leave all the tracking/advertising money on the table in order to best Google on privacy? Or, once they win enough market-share will they just sell out?
Facebook is a step by step strategy on MacBook Pro, starting from Servo launch. Here's a ticket https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404042

I'd love to get back to FF, but I have no idea how could that release with current state of things be allowed. Does your MacBook have Retina display?
of course, the conflict of interest is obvious. I just don't see it as a big deal if the result is better. if the result is worse I think it would get reverted.
There’s no data being overwritten in the mechanism I described.
The price of energy and the energy intensity of an economy are not the same thing. This is because the price of energy is the cost at the margin: the cost of producing one additional unit of energy. Since a rational economy exploits cheap sources of energy first, this price is necessarily no less than the cost of production of each unit of energy actually consumed. So there is no contradiction.

I stand corrected! I think it was some kind of Mandela effect of my part

Nevertheless, the hype was very high at the time.
Good point.

Let's take a relatively trivial example: TV "appropriateness." Mainland western Europe have different standards to the US. They are more tolerant of bad language and nudity in daytime programming, less tolerant of violence. Other places have different tolerances (political & religious taboos, often).

YouTube's policies are clearly of the US flavour.
I think I understand that. Hume didn't (to my mind) advocate that passions are physical, but he did claim that they are at the root of all choices and actions.

Going back to something you said previously, could you point m in the direction of where Epicurus has written similar ideas to Hume's?
All this post says is how things were the last time a tech bubble burst. It doesn't give any reasons why the timing should be the same for the next one.

When people say we're in a bubble, what they're implying is that the bubble is about to burst. Yes we're in a tech bubble, this is how life is now and I don't see it changing. If/when it bursts, we'll start growing into another one. No clear reason is given why the bubble we're in now can't keep growing for a while longer. If anything the trade war is deflating the bubble. At some point there will be an event or signal when the bubble pops if not sufficiently deflated. The post doesn't mention anything to this effect in my reading.

I think it's more interesting to consider the magnitude of the investors' and CEOs' filter bubble. Maybe that's what the article is trying to get at, and that makes some sense. That bubble is larger and more self-sustaining than any earlier time. I think it's going to take a steady series of failed unicorns to get that signal in.

Well, it could have been like Kempe's chains... they finally realized there is a problem, and then it took like 100 years before Appel and Haken made what is probably the first computer-aided proof. And who can say it's really a "proof" if it doesn't explain "why" it's true.

> I'm constantly thanking "myself from the past" when I go to implement some new feature and find that the surrounding code is clean and well organised and ready for that new feature to be easily implemented.

The more experience you have with the reverse of that situation ("Dammit past koolba, what the hell were you thinking?!"), the more you value dedicating time to both doing things right and going back to progressively clean them up.

The real skill to learn is to properly isolate quick and dirty solutions so that they can be easily replaced down the road. The sausage factory does not need to be spotless on day one, just the entrance and exit doors.
The best general strategy may be simply "tit for tat". Try going the high road first; if you see positive reaction, keep at it; if you see dysfunctional reaction (like parent here had), revert to doing it without asking for permission.

I feel for the Kaskaesk nightmare, but isn't this what courts are for? A judge should be able to adjudicate this conflict especially if you give convincing evidence of your communications with both Amazon and the Bank. My venue of legal approach (ianal and not even US) would be that once you show you are not the account holder (since hacked any fully shut out) anymore you don't have a contract with Amazon and they don't have the title to bill you. If they can show you ARE the account holder, than you can cancel. Both ways of that approach before a judge will get your problem sorted?

I use firefox as my daily for a few years now, I switched for panorama view, and almost switched back to chrome when the extension was broken, but stuck it out until it was fixed.

Quantum improved it, but I still have lots of issues with Firefox on Linux. To name a few: (For reference I'm running Firefox 67 on NixOS, xmonad, no DE, 7700K, 64GB RAM, RTX2070, only extensions I use are uBlock Origin, Panorama View, but I've run into all the problems below in safe mode also)

* Still slower than Chrome if you use lots of tabs and windows (generally 100+ on 3 windows depending on current jobs). It's much faster than it used to be but I can't deny when I have to switch back to Chrome for some things, I'm surprised at the (slight) speed difference.

* Visual glitches with lots of tabs the tab bar will occasionally spasm, sometimes all the text will disappear etc.

* Sometimes a window will just stop working. All the tabs are still there, but they all show blank white pages, new tabs are also blank. Different windows will work and a new window will work. Restarting firefox, the same window will be all blank pages. The only solution I've found is open a new window and copy the tabs you want to save one by one to the new working window.

* Bunch of websites just don't work in Firefox. In particular several of my governments payment portals don't work in Firefox on Linux but work fine in Chrome.

* Sometimes I get crackling audio from Firefox that can only be fixed by restarting pulse, never had it happen in Chrome.

* Some streaming websites choke firefox out, for example ufc.tv PPVs are sometimes entirely unwatchable in FF, the audio and video fall out of sync after a few minutes, sometimes it can makes other tabs sluggish. Never have a problem with Chrome, will usually just open a chrome window to watch live streams.

I chalk most of these up to Linux weirdness, but I do quite often find myself annoyed at FF considering its running on a moderately well specced machine, and its literally the only app I run regularly that gives me heartache.

That being said I've stuck with FF over Chrome and still prefer it for various reasons and recommend people try it. I just disagree with the idea I see floating around that there's nothing wrong with FF at all and its just as fast and stable as Chrome. It's not been my experience.
> I still don't get why people do this. You can't use snippets of Wikipedia to make a point you don't understand.

I referenced wikipedia and cited an example of such from my experience in physics lab in college nearly a decade ago… I don't get why people try to use some "law" built upon a particular set assumptions that work on a particular set of circumstances expect their leaky abstractions on top of it to govern everything that could ever be possible…

>The laws of thermodynamics depend on the law of large numbers (if you take the stat mech route), they can be considered laws about statistical averages.

On systems operating under certain assumptions… just like navier-stokes predicting singularities from a specific set of IC's in theory that don't happen in real life from said IC's, which have to be handled with a bunch of corrections and adjustments that are more accurate… we're still working out the math as to why that is…
It'd be nice if there was a cheat sheet for Category Theory as well.

shameless plug: I initially created webhookrelay for just this case - Jenkins & Github :) Instead of polling, you can start builds on webhook request. It can create one-way tunnels so your Jenkins is not exposed to the internet (for PRs https://webhookrelay.com/blog/2019/04/17/automated-github-pu...). Open source client for webhook forwarding is also available!
Now the project evolved into way more, but still, started from Jenkins, polling and waiting for the build to start after pushing changes.
Yeah it was a higher total than I expected myself, but I do use a fair portion of the tabs fairly frequently, as I can witch to the tab I want by typing into the address bar.

Ash HN: Will EU welcome an independent Scotland with open arms?
I meant it as in "the freedom to do what one wants", not so much literally. And even so, Mars has probably less resources than even the (physical) Wild West did. In another comment I made the analogy that Earth is like a car in need of repair, and Mars is a rusting junker in the forest - in far worse of a state than Earth, but somehow there is the desire to go there.

And FireFTP http://fireftp.net/! Man did I love FireFTP
Obviously anecdote != data, and you don't say what the software does. But your story would seem to imply that domain knowledge is more important that software development knowledge. There's a certain logic to it - someone who deeply intuits what the software is trying to model will naturally gravitate towards the correct abstractions, even if they're ugly and ad-hoc; while a professional software developer with no domain experience with happily build a shiny tower of abstraction that doesn't fit the problem domain, and chaos will ensue.

There's a reason we emphasize nailing down requirements before committing code. But what if it goes a level deeper than that? Perhaps what we actually need to do is understand the mindset that is generating those requirements. Perhaps, for some types of software, that's equivalent to being a domain expert.
That exact issue stops rr from working on those architectures.
An interesting example is the Westboro Baptist children. They are sent to public school in order to learn about how rotten the sinners are. The bullying they receive helps to drive home that lesson.

One clear advantage of the yesql/hugsql style is that you get to manage your SQL files in a consistent way. You're going to have migration files and stored procedure/view/etc definitions in .sql files too. This lets you export your queries as Clojure/Python functions simply but still have them live next to the rest of the SQL, for easy refactoring etc.

This is a common myth, the amount of vitamins in olive oil is very modest compared to other foods.

Eating olive oil for vitamins is a bit like smoking for getting oxygen, there are plenty of other ways much healthier to cover those nutritional needs.

The body can create fats from carbs and vice-versa but those processes are not metabolically efficient. That is not the main way our body consumes calories.

Most commonly, carbs are broken down into sugar and fat is either burned as it is or is stored directly as it is, without further modification.

Olive oil and oils, in general, are some of the most calorically dense foods in existence, with very little volume and very little satiety associated with them.

So you get a lot of calories but your body does not register them because they have very little volume, so you stay hungry and keep eating more until you are full.

That is the problem with this very high caloric density, is that you will very easily overheat and not be able to lose weight while eating oils.

That caloric density simply does not exist in nature, and our bodies have not evolved to cope with it, we will constantly overeat which over time leads to obesity.

For example, greeks are some of the heavier people in Europe, a study did a tissue sample of a group of women to check what type of fat they had stored in their abdomen. About a third of it was the fat from olive oil, it sticks to you.
I wrote "creates architecture astronauts" meaning that C++, like Java (although Java does it to a greater extent), pushes people to create unnecessarily convoluted architectures.

To make matters worse, the founder thinks this engineer is "very capable" and just "set in his ways". As a consultant, it's not my place to fix such issues, so I'm thinking of dropping the client in question, for the first time in my career.

> High CPU on Linux

Provided this is anecdotal evidence, in my experience it's the opposite. I gained an enormous amount of performance-related comfort after switching to Linux Firefox from Windows Firefox/Chrome (where a JS-heavy web site that I use frequently would cause memory overflow and would stall the laptop). I've not experienced any problems with CPU usage since. I've not experienced the other problems either, though I don't use WebGL. You make it sound like Firefox is heavily broken for everyone. That's not the case.
False dichotomy. You don't need $500k engineers to write quality software. $150k/yr ones will do it just fine if you teach them how to do it and part ways with those who don't see the value in following basic quality standards.
