Off topic, but if you plan on coding your load tests I think Gatling is a better choice, you get to program in Scala which so far looks clean and readable to me.
But what is the story there? You have a backup key, hopefully stored "off site", now you want to enroll in another website. You have to get that backup key before you do that? Or bookkeep which sites you have on the backup key and which you don't?
The author of this article has no idea how 2FA works or why it's used.

2FA is used to prevent or mitigate the impact of phishing or other attacks where a password is compromised (password reuse, random guessing, keylogger, etc.). The author does bring up one hypothetical attack -- a man-in-the-middle attack -- where someone can trick a user into providing their 2FA or triggering an authorization (like with a Duo push). This requires the ability to execute a real-time attack.

FIDO/U2F/Webauthn (I still haven't figured out exactly what you're supposed to call them) security tokens solve that use case by allowing the website to authenticate directly to the token. That can't be phished -- even if you're tricked into a fake website and given a fake webauthn prompt, AFAIK there's no known way to proxy or otherwise intercept that second factor authentication to allow a phishing attack to succeed.

His complaint that the token doesn't have a password is largely pointless -- the token is the second factor, the password on the site is the first. If you're using passwordless FIDO2 logins, then it does have a PIN.

Long story short, this guy is full of crap.
> Doesn’t this article that shows Apple is backtracking on that by reintroducing ports completely contradict what you’re saying?

Maybe Apple changed their mind, yes (it's just a rumour at the moment), but I'm explaining why Apple does it the way they do at the moment. That was their thinking.

And you can't 'contradict' people's opinion on the way things should be done!
Personally I love poetry, if for no reason other than making publishing a breeze. If I can’t use it for some reason, I like managing virtual envs with pyenv (not to be confused with pipenv. You’re better off for having missed the controversies around that)

Oh btw virtualenv is gone now; you make envs using python -m venv myEnvName
Thank you so much for this feature! Google Authenticator has been holding my phone ransom on Android 9. I've got way too many 2fa keys to reconfigure manually and add to a new client.

I don't think that's necessarily true. There are plenty of cases where frugality would be reasonable with unit costs. A team running a k8s cluster on eks with redundancy while they're working on an MVP is likely spending 5x what they need compared to running a single fargate container/DO droplet. I would definitely consider the reverse of that being "frugal".

There was a post on HN recently about a SAAS that listed out all of the SAAS products they were using, and for a team of 5 they were purchasing g suite, an email productivity "enhancer" to avoid conversations moving to slack, and a meeting scheduling tool, for 10% of their revenue (something like $150/month). Being frugal would likely have cost them less than percentage points of productivity, and increased their runway.
Seth Abramson wrote a few books about this, extensively researched.
What’s funny is we used to replace each other’s sticky keys program if we left our computer unlocked. Hours of entertainment while they try to figure out how you keep getting back in.

You keep missing my point. Stop focussing on the specifics of this case, that's not relevant to my argument.

Tech in 2010: We don't agree with what they're saying but we believe in their right to say it. -> The American ideal of free speech.

Tech in 2020: Ban them all!

ACLU in 2020: We defend people who think like us.

That is my point. Historically free speech was seen as an ideal to strive for. Now it's considered a bad thing.
Taking a stats class does not a data scientist make. COVID statistics can be very very difficult to interpret, especially at the beginning when data was scarce.

Edit to add example :
For instance, most people agree it is best to exclude totally random testing sites from COVID numbers because even though the false positive rate is very low, at the beginning so was the incidence of COVID which means most of the positive tests would be false positive.

Including them or improperly dealing with that data would be considered base rate fallacy

This is just one statistical phenomenon that has to be dealt with. It’s complicated and sometimes messy but it absolutely requires top minds
"Simple Audiobook Player" on Android is just wonderful. Requires one-time purchase for some features I believe, but I've been using it for years without a single thing to complain about.

It also handles chapters, playback speed is very adjustable, and a feature I like the most is that it takes you back to the beginning of the sentence if you pause/resume.
In principle, I have no problem with that. Transparency is good, and it can lead to better business behavior without more ham-fisted regulations that simply force businesses to do what the government wants. It's the "nutrition facts label" strategy.

But I really think a better solution is just allowing more app stores or third party app installation. Let people choose who they want curating their content. Apple can still enforce their own store policies like they want, and if enough consumers revolt, they have somewhere else to go.
The cops aren’t wild animals. They should have the ability to figure out whether or not a web developer/data scientist at home with warrants for nonviolent allegations is worth drawing a gun in a house with children in it.

We need to hold cops to a higher standard of behavior.

I find it helpful to look up the definitions of terms I'm not familiar with.

sincerely curious, what are the limitations and problems of emacs? I use both vs code and emacs. I've been using vs code a bit more these days because I feel like the UI itself is a bit more powerful and modern. I've also come to like that If i want a language support it often installs all the things I'd want to make a good experience, and I have less to mix and match. I like the mix and match approach I've always used in emacs, but it turns out there fewer scenario where I want that power then I'd have thought, and more where I just want some out of the box functionality from an extension author
> It seems possible given an 12.9 inch iPad Pro only weighs 1.4lbs
The iPad Pro's weight jumps up significantly if you have to add a keyboard and trackpad to the mix. Though personally I would welcome a tablet mac with no included keyboard since I use an ergonomic keyboard the vast majority of the time anyway.

> and other manufacturers have entries in that range.

The one that comes to mind is the LG Gram series, of which they make a lot of compromises in order to accomplish their weight goals. Opening up the chassis of the LG Gram 17 and 15 you'll see a lot of empty space and a battery that is much smaller than it could accommodate. I think it'd be doable if apple made a 16 inch variant with the m1 chip in it but I'm not sure that you could without making similar compromises that LG does.

Personally for a 16 inch laptop I'd rather have longer battery life and processing power which I think more closely aligns with people who prefer the larger form factor anyway. Still, it'd be nice to have options!
I didn't the first 10 years. Then the projects needed more coordination (team members), more refactoring, future proofing (making sure one can replace individual parts), dealing with external API and simply having had to deal with too many complex bugs. Apart from very visual projects (HTML layout), all libraries, especially open source, I add some tests.

It's usually not 100% TDD: I write code first code, then tests in parallel or shortly after. Striving for 100% test coverage (there are tools for various programming languages) is hard. Only very rare do I write test first, then code. That would require specification from somebody, or e.g. dealing with an external API.
Reminds me Ryan Dahl's quip from way back when:

> I love Go so much (SO MUCH), but I cannot get past the fact that goroutines share memory or that it's statically typed. I love Erlang but I cannot get the past the syntax. I do not like the JVM because it takes too long to startup and has a bad history of XML files and IDE integration - which give me a bad vibe.

I think laptops are more convenient as primary developer machine with the CPU heavy tasks being delegated to cloud. Most tasks take less than or much more time than around 30 seconds. This is the division I roughly take for running locally or in cloud. At least that's the workflow for me and most developers I know of. Having a desktop forces you to work in just one position and this could could cause a lot of obvious inconveniences like not being able to work in cafe or in both home and office.
You’re right, I did go overboard. The hardest thing I did last year was battling race-conditions for concurrent BE operations. By far. But your point about some BE problems being solved and Cocoa state management still receiving complaints, suggests that browser state management still remains an unsolved problem.

Having said that, Apollo Client’s local field type definitions (akin to GraphQL resolvers for FE state) are as close as a solution as I’ve ever seen.

To add to your point, I do think that most complexity should be delegated to the BE, because the BE is almost always better equipped to handle it.
Exactly, that set of standard questions and responses (ie controls) is exactly what a VSA is.

However, SOC2 takes it a step further and requires an formalized audit from a AICPA certified security auditing firm[0].

Therefore, a security questionnaire should be for follow-up items that the customer feels were not adequately addressed in one or more of the vendor's compliance attestations.

Otherwise, the customer is asking the vendor to step through redundant check-the-box busywork that actually requires a higher level of skill that can not be adequately completed by a junior engineer. To wax hyperbolic, it's like an engineering DoS attack which serves neither the customer nor the vendor well (unless the goal is to slow down the vendor from making new and better products)

> They are inefficient and conflated machines - two things that tend to be contradictory with software engineering.

Perhaps by your set of metrics.

For me, it's the best option because I always have exactly what I need with me - locally. I can work from home, a coffee shop, an airplane, conference room, a different couch/chair/table, etc without a second thought.

I also rarely need the full compute power of a desktop. Sure, it'd help with cold builds - but incremental builds are so fast that it's just not worth being tethered to a desktop.

An SD card is useful things other than just cameras it also is a great thing for 3d printers.

I’m kinda in love with VSCode at the moment, even though I have used Emacs (or at least some mac customized version, maybe SpaceEmacs?) for agda-mode

When I tried to go outside of the agda-mode documentation, to try to learn emacs properly, I kinda struggled to find a reliable tutorial or introduction that got me started on how emacs and the culture/ecosystem works. (Maybe it was just me who got tripped up by my unfamiliarity with it.)

Do you have a good recommendation for a way or a book to get into emacs?

Its limited by CPU PCI connectors, adding more ports needs a lot more bandwidth, uses more power and needs more pins. The low end models are not expected to have these, but the larger more power hungry ones will.
In terms of IDEs, IntelliJ also comes with built-in profiling. And every modern web browser has robust built-in profiling tools.
That would be even worse than the current state of things.

Accessibility services are necessarily kernel services, since they tie deeply into considerations of what the OS should/shouldn’t allow the user to do at any point.

Giving the login application its own copy of those services, would mean giving the login application (⇒ applications in general) the ability to tie as deeply into the OS as the accessibility services themselves do. Avoiding that is the whole reason accessibility was made an OS-level feature in the first place!
That's an interesting thought. I wonder what advances could be made to satellites if they were allowed to make them twice as heavy, for example.
I believe that the anti-thiomersal hysteria was quite justified.

Even if thiomersal is more effective at killing bacteria than at killing humans, there are no doubts that it is also toxic for humans and for any other animals.

While the thiomersal dose injected together with a vaccine is small enough so that in most cases it will not cause damages before being eliminated from the body, the risks are not negligible.

To willingly inject yourself with poison, even in a quantity that hopefully will not hurt you, seems rather stupid.

Better alternative bactericides must be found for vaccine preservation.
That really depends on how you define freedom, Do you take a John Locke position of Natural Rights, or do you believe governments are the source of rights.

"freedom is not unlimited" is a clear reductio ad absurdum fallacy brought in ways like "well you can not murder anyone you like so clearly your freedom is limited" and it is no way refuting on my argument about Self Defense.

I can not proceed further though until I have an understating of what you define as freedom. I am coming from a Locke / Libertarian understanding of liberty. Which at its core is based in the Principle of Self Ownership and the Philosophy of Liberty [1]

I wish I'd had a mentor ever since I was a teenager (80's).

The reason I answer is because I just had an idea. This doesn't help you, personally, right now, I suppose.

Google had a 10% rule (not sure if they still do) where 10% of the time, an employee could spend time on personal projects.

What if a company said, 10% of the time, you mentor. Those who seek a mentor can just apply to the company and get in line and wait.

Possibly, these mentored people could be future hires, and the employees are improving their abilities/knowledge by having a "teacher" role.

If I was Google's or any company's CEO, I would try this!

I feel a strong need to be accepted by other people, and one of the ways that I meet that need is by considering how my actions ("taking the leap") might affect others. Sometimes, though, I place more value on others' needs than my own. This can lead to sadness that I'm not able to do what I want.

This author seems like he wants to overcome this fear of how others may respond, and do the thing anyway. I'm reminded of the stages of emotional liberation:

First stage: Emotional slavery: we see ourselves responsible for others’ feelings.

Second stage: “Obnoxious”: we feel angry; we no longer want to be responsible for others’ feelings.

Third stage: Emotional liberation: we take responsibility for our intentions and actions.
