> But it's really hard to put forth a convincing argument that would change the mind of the other side.

The article is about a research paper and its results. You can check it, check the methodology, the sources and try to poke holes on it using proper scientific methods.

Unfortunately, when one's identity relies on the belief certain things are true, it's hard to convince them otherwise, even with overwhelming evidence.
Calculator multiplication can be performed by what is essentially repeated addition.

Probably the author would argue that what calculators do is neither addition nor multiplication because of precision loss. In practice it works pretty well though.
If you find something that can break all cryptography in the world, then I think your best option (even for your personal security) is to release everything publicly.
For simple life-forms, perhaps, but complex life probably requires rather special or rare circumstances. In areas of Earth low in oxygen, the life-forms there are similar to ediacaran fauna: slow and soft. Increases in oxygen are probably a key cause of the Cambrian explosion.

Perhaps it's possible there is another high-metabolism cycle that doesn't involve much oxygen, but nobody really knows both if a pathway exists, and if evolution can "find" it in time. Any biochemists here who want to weigh in?
The disappearing species are boring.
The page also lists that they are coordinating projects and bring together specialists, so umm... it sounds a lot like Mars One.

It's better these days. For desktop application development, Qt is available under the LGPL and the Qt commercial license.

Qt for WebAssembly is available under the GPL3 and the Qt commercial license, though.
That's really cool, thank you. Lmk if there's any information you'd need from me.
> I’m not sure whether Lurie realized that it was possible to give rigorous model-independent proofs laying the foundations of infinity category theory. Part of the reason that Dom and I are able to establish something along the lines that I suspect Lurie would have wanted is that we were coming along later. There is also a sociological component to the history. Lurie was forced by the community to choose a specific model to prove theorems about infinity categories, because the ideas were so new, and people didn’t believe the proofs otherwise.

Short version: Even Lurie wasn't ready to generalize from one example :)

Nothing to be ashamed of in any other part of mathematics, I'd say.
Excellent point which I had not considered before.
Ah, serves me right for jumping straight to the comments. I had in mind computers from a few years later like my Nascom 2 from 1979.
In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any substantial amount of free memory (free memory is memory that isn't giving the user any benefit), and cache memory should be unique (if it's in the cache, it shouldn't be anywhere else in RAM).
I would disagree on this point. I work in aerospace with a a lot of smart folks. Boeing's 737 issues are a product of many years of poor management choices, but I don't think represent the talent of the industry as a whole.
Melvin Capital posts return of more than 20% in February, sources say
Market rate is the price where supply and demand are equal. If you set price below market rate, the demand will be higher than the supply. So if you create enough below market rate housing that there is no longer a shortage, then it must mean that the supply and demand are equal at that price, which means that it is no longer below market rate.

Path to CTO Event with Laura Major, Motional
I appreciate that building something that works even this well targeting Canvas must have been a metric ton of work, and I'm impressed. But that's kind of the issue -- it cannot possibly be more work to maintain a separate rendering/compilation pipeline for browsers than it is to rebuild the entirety of Chrome's DOM engine in WebGL for CanvasKit.

I just don't see how Flutter is going to keep pace with "native" web apps when the team is constantly playing catch up every time a new medium, input method, or browser feature comes up.

Handling scroll is hard enough, is this going to handle WebVR? Can I control this web app with a voice assistant?

Sorry if this is something of a dismissive answer, but I'm not sure what the right way is to file an issue that boils down to, "it seems like you picked literally the hardest possible way to build a web GUI toolkit, and I'm very impressed that you have anything that's usable at all, but I also don't understand why you did this."

I don't know, I don't want to be overly negative here, but I don't have any confidence at all about the overall strategy that Flutter is pursuing. In order to get accessibility to work, you're basically going to end up building a DOM representation of these apps anyway. It's just now you have to build a DOM representation and you have to completely reimplement the rendering stack and capture all of my events? How are you going to make something like that performant across every browser?

I want to echo a few other comments I've seen here that this result isn't really surprising to me. I guessed before I clicked on the demos that they probably wouldn't handle scroll events well, because I know how you're building Flutter for the web, and I have never seen any GUI frameworks targeting pure Canvas on the web that don't have basic errors like this. If Flutter ever managed to be the exception, that would be very surprising to me. I don't know what Flutter's internal process looks like, I'm not going to tell you you're building something wrong. I only know what the end result looks like, and I know that end result is not going to radically improve any time soon.

It's not my place to tell any team what to do, and nobody is obligated to care what I think, but... I don't know, the demos online do not leave me feeling confident about Flutter's future. I don't think the experience as it exists today is the result of a bunch of isolated issues/bugs that can be fixed one at a time.

Okay, I get that the standard crypto "enthusiast" keeps talking about it like it is going to replace everything and that therefore they will get in to become quadrillionaries.

That's a naive view. Crypto is important even if doesn't replace all of the existing institutions. It is important because it increases optionality. If a centralized system works for you, great. But for some people it doesn't, and these people still need a way to invest, save, make commerce, etc, etc, etc...

are you the maintainer of the platform? If so, props! I also dig the minimal vibe to it, it's a really interesting approach.
Cognito and Firebase are bush league by comparison. They can do the basics well enough if you have the right integration engineers. Okta and Auth0 are light years ahead.
How so? I'd argue they're far ahead of the competition in features.

After April 5, I will have to use the app so that I can get back functionality that I once had on the web.
That's the same fear some people have about password managers...

IMO, the answer is simple: I would rather security be done by a company where security is THE feature. In other words, I trust 1Password's security team over, say, Hulu's or something.
I see some Google Cloud folks in the comments, so question for you, if you're able to share:

There seems to be a general fear about Google potentially killing off a product, based on recent history [1]. Now I know most of these are on the consumer side of things, but you can imagine people's concerns if the same thing started happening to Google Cloud products. Is the GCP team aware of these concerns, (or is this just a HN crowd concern) and if so, are there steps being taken to address this perception head on?

The amount of comments espousing the idea that stable marriages can't be happy is off-putting to me and what I see as a reflection of how Americans value marriage.
I'm not sure we're celebrating it. It's something to be noted. Some applications might find it useful, for running data analysis on the blockchain, but I don't foresee a majority of ETH validators running on this service. Best to avoid Amazon in general given their propensity for censorship.
Depends what kind of death you're trying to avoid. :) BMI is not the 100% indicator of being healthy.

No - in most western countries it's decided in law that reasonable efforts should be made to support most people, those with disabilities like visual impairment included.
It might be better for these two to merge than for either (or both!) to be subsumed into those much larger firms. This is why FTC allowed Sirius and XM to merge: to keep them both out of the clutches of larger firms who would have seriously considered killing satellite radio altogether.

[EDIT:] Of course, this merger may just be a ploy to drive up the price of a future merger with one of the larger firms...
Haha.. Thanks for your feedback and I totally understand. In this case tho it's my own fault and not flutters. I wanted that fancy AppBar and created that mess myself. I was actually planning on fixing all the broken AppBars in my next release.
"...will put resources on wherever there's a dollar."

Yes, but it may be that they've decided there's no dollar here. Or, to put it another way, they get that dollar whether they track your browser history or not, so why bother? It's more like cutting corners, which corporations are most certainly willing to do, but in this case we like it (but that is probably only incidentally of interest to top executives).
Notch got really lucky. These views about piracy not mattering are practically survivor bias. There are the rare vendors who I think profited from the pirates in the end, Microsoft and Adobe. Them making their software easy to pirate, coupled with the existing laws at the time basically made and maintained their flagship products the de-facto standards which can be felt to this day. But these again are the rare examples where piracy was useful - for most, it just sucks money out their pocket.
Can’t speak for others, but I still want a proper set of primitives and not yet another rightest-way-to-do-it sdk whose examples stutter on top hardware and will be great tomorrow. Time to go sleep I guess, will check it in 8 hours. All I want is untangling of the mess a css boxing model is, not just some buttons on canvas. I wrote gtk-flavoured widget drawing libs for few times in Lua+cairo ten years ago and these ran smoothly on a hardware than couldn’t even boot an OS today, except some rare stop the world gc issues Lua had back then. It was no big deal, and strange (not really) that Google Itself couldn’t beat that score.

Honestly your site blows away the competition. AFAIK you have the best data. Great work and bravo on making compensation more transparent.
Never heard of a non-profit that takes bribes.
Without the net permission to their server, mining wouldn’t achieve much, no? I might be missing something obvious though

I hope KDE will implement direct Pipewire support for general audio controls, to avoid going through the PulseAudio plugin.
"Weapons of Math Destruction" was our textbook for CS 6603 at Georgia Tech. It was a fascinating/terrifying look into some of the systems that seem to silently impact the lives of millions in the U.S. Cannot recommend it enough.
This is mostly an argument for people who have either gotten a lot of equity at large public tech companies--at least some of them--and/or just had a lot of money in equities, including large public tech companies, over the past 10 years or so.

Even if someone hasn't won the FAANG lottery, there are a lot of folks, including those that aren't collecting SV-level comp, who have done pretty well being well-invested in diversified equities.
They can collect more metrics and have more control when it's a native app. My web browser is still my most used app on my phone.

But I think betting on the web actually meant to bet on native for each respective platform. Bet on native for the web is betting on HTML/CSS/JavaScript. And then have a Java/Kotlin version for Android. And have a Swift/Objective C version for iOS

I think the learning is, write once run everywhere is what has been tried and failed time and time again for user applications. Java failed many times, Silverlight, Flash, etc.

The reason is always the same, user experience is limited when you go that route, and it eventually loses out to competitors who offer the better user experience on the user's platform of choice.
Expensive though. Remember when consumers were tough on spending $0.99 for an app? Imagine them seeing $100 gas fees.
But use of S3, for example, is not limited much at all. It is very dominant.
> All other providers require an OAuth implementation even if you do not need SSO because of the way they’ve architected their solution. With SuperTokens, we’ve decoupled the functionality for different use cases, making it possible to only worry about the features you need.

Eh? You’re either doing Oauth or you’re not? What have they decoupled?
Maybe it's just me, but I just can't figure Flutter out.

I mean, if you do exactly as their demos it works fine. But as soon as you do something else things just break.
Then you would've needed to package a JVM or a JavaScript engine, making the app distribution a whole lotta different deal.
Bezos apparently said one that "Your margin is my opportunity".

If this merger increases future profitability of new Okta, then you can argue there is a newer genuine market opportunity in authentication.

The VC-backed industry is all about creating new opportunities (and by definition disrupting someone else's business), and recirculating investment money, improving our economy
I suspect that a breach of most companies AWS accounts would lead to a complete breach of that company.

Somewhere in the mountains of data stored in an AWS account and all it's associated EC2 instances and backups on S3 will be credentials or information to thoroughly breach all other systems.
It's like that on the server side too with ARM64. Using AWS graviton 2 instances has been incredible--faster, cheaper, and just better in every way for most of my workloads. I think ARM caught nearly the entire industry flat-footed and asleep. It's going to be wild to see all the big PC and server manufacturers, the cloud providers, etc. scramble to have similar ARM offerings. I can't believe Amazon is a year into a solid v2 of ARM instances, while Azure and Google don't even have a beta or v1 on the horizon.
I use BetterTouchTool for this, it lets you set up snapping so dragging the window e.g. to one side will snap it to half the width, as well as setting up keyboard shortcuts. It can also do a million other shortcut type things which I barely scratch the surface of, cool app!
I hope this gives rise to another, smaller viable party outside of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Perhaps I'm jaded, perhaps hopelessly biased - but I can only see this as a net negative.

Okta's open source packages receive a pitiful amount of attention (for example: https://github.com/okta/okta-oidc-js/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%...) with forks almost becoming a requirement. Auth0 by contrast has been "on the ball" for a long time with their offerings. Okta's interfaces have been disjointed and inconsistent, confusing to users on a scale only surpassed by Jira, while Auth0's have always been pleasant to use from a user and developer perspective.

From a personnel perspective, the two companies couldn't be more different, with Auth0 embracing a remote-first-class culture with creative interview processes, and Okta (pre-covid) being very much the opposite. I interviewed with both, and the process at Auth0 had me walk away with respect, while contrasted with Okta that left me reminded that tech hiring is broken.

I'll hold my breath for a short time that Auth0 is allowed to operate independently. Sadly I feel it'll be inevitable that they're eventually swallowed up by the mothership.
Try Divvy. I mapped its hot key to option space and then you can just move the currently focused app somewhere on its grid.
I still use one of these to store my passwords and run certain ancient astronomy software. Today, we don't have any decent small computers which run of AA's.
They let their customers sell which was probably a fiduciary responsibility.

An obligation to maintain the market for a stock because a portion of it's owners are your customers would be a bizarre responsibility.
Am I the only one overtly bothered by the fact that in the chart, 60% is literally half of 72%?!!
I have okta accounts with a few companies and they all require 2FA. I hope Okta is configured so that if Okta itself were compromised, the 2FA would still be required to leverage the authentication vectors in okta.
Well, I write quite a bit of GTK, and as you mentioned that's not necessarily a first-class experience on MacOS, which I expected and was fine with. It was quite a bit more frustrating to get the Rust toolchain working though, and from what I understand it will be a while before they iron out the issues on the M1. Another papercut. Then I had issues with binaries disappearing out of nowhere, similar to the aforementioned git disappearance. My Rust programs automatically were removed from PATH, and I still don't know what causes the issue. As for the package managers, I think Brew and Macports are both fine pieces of software, but they don't even come close to how robust and compatible something like pacman is. Working with the App Store is a frustrating experience, and I'd prefer to have all my software managed in one place.

Maybe it's just different strokes for different folks, but I'd much rather just clone my dotfiles and have a Linux workspace up and running in ~10 minutes tops. Moving my workflow over to MacOS feels like trying to board a plane while it's taking off, and it doesn't bode well for my productivity when I can't rely on my tools even showing up in the first place.

It definitely is. I'm daily driving a Macbook Air, something which I never thought I'd say. Even beyond the CPU crunching performance, I'm not sure what part of it is causing this, but it's just so much smoother for a variety of misc things. I suspect either better coupling with the integrated GPU or the unified memory.

But many little things, like the smoothness of the OS, or the way that the screen wakes from sleep instantly are just superior to my much more expensive, and power hungry desktop. Of course, my desktop can still cream it in a GPU workload but for programming, it's amazing.
Not having any 2FA makes it a non-starter for a lot of people.
I do mortage deductions etc. and I filed my taxes some years back by responding to a text message. "If this looks right and you don't want to change anything, just reply YES and you are done for this year", basically.

In recent years it's just a smartphone app or website. Typically you cclick "next" 3 times to review and then submit.

It's around as simple as your average online retail experience.
I think this would be cool, but I can't see how reviving an cold-weather species in a warming climate is going to be an evolutionary success. Not to mention whatever other reasons they went extinct. I expect that this mammothy-elephant is going to essentially be a zoo piece, even if the "zoo" is a large part of the outdoors. Kind of like those game parks in the US that have African animals.
> How many times has Google done this? And then gotten bored of their own work?

Google's history on this sort of thing isn't good but this will be much more stable than their other offerings. Dart is the primary language of the ads (i.e. money making) side of Google and Flutter is their best shot at making the language relevant elsewhere. I'm still not in a hurry to learn it but I'd be very surprised if it's in the trash bin within 5 years.
That would be a non sequitur! This is a classic case of the contrarian dynamic: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

Your post, and the upvotes it's getting, are the second wave :)
I know it doesn't cover everything Auth0 and Okta presumably provide, but Keycloak is OSS and has RedHat support, and is honestly one of the best IDPs I've ever used in terms of capabilities and friendliness. I know there's also the ory suite in the more cloud-native/recent space, though I can't personally speak to its maturity.

Maybe I'm biased by the large bank I currently work at, but in general, it seems like IAM is the last thing we really want outsourced/closed source and monocultured. If they lose the motivation to stay ahead of the competition, and stop responding to vulnerabilities as quickly as they ought to, it's not just their company that loses.
How do I verify this claim as being correct?
Rectangle I think is very similar and actively developed.
You want to avoid even social (not just romantical) mixing?

Sorry, but I don't think this is viable with the workers I know (including myself). It is in head-on contradiction with the "do what you love" maxim that most people in my generation are trying to follow. We aren't robots and we don't want to live two completely disjoint lives (or, rather, when we do, we have internet forums, video games and what not for that). In order to have a job where I could completely dissociate from my coworkers, I'd need to find a second skill at which I'm good enough to find employment yet don't care enough about to let it bleed into my life. People are struggling enough with building one skill...

There is probably some good middle ground to be found (how far should my job be from my interests to avoid crossing the streams too much yet allow me to keep it? how much should I let my colleagues into my life?), but no one seems to have invested much in finding it.
Random safe bet seems to put to put Salesforce on the right right side of such a diagram, regardless of what the left side companies do. :)
I kind a like that I can run my primary display at 164Hz via dedicated Type-C to DisplayPort adapter. Too bad DisplayLink can't go beyond 60Hz on 2K screen.
The local cache makes short work of that issue :) Deno is quite nice, I recommend checking it out if you’re doing any Node style stuff
