> Why would access to the fingerprint sensor give the ability to forge WebAuthn signatures?

It wouldn't? No apps get access to the fingerprint sensor, it's very hard to imagine any legitimate purpose for that, and easy to imagine hostile use cases.

The operating system doesn't give access to the fingerprint sensor, it provides an API for doing FIDO (the underlying technology to deliver WebAuthn) and the fingerprint sensor is used by the operating system to provide User Verification for that.

The API takes a parameter for the Relying Party Identifier. For most phone apps, you can't control this, it'll be set to an ID for your app, which you can discover and fill out in your server backend. This way your app can authenticate your users to your servers, but other apps can't imitate it.

But for WebAuthn the RPID is based on the DNS name of the web site, so a web browser needs a way to actually set this value or it can't do WebAuthn. Hence, Android needs an extra permission flag to authorise legitimate web browsers to set the RPID while preventing untrustworthy apps from doing so.
That's a biiiiig caveat you added there.

I think that a guarantee of having enough money to feed yourself is better than just about any other option. I think people individually and collectively benefit from others holding jobs, but they can also benefit from unpaid activities like family caregiving. I think the idea that having jobs is good but nobody would do it if they didn't have to, and therefore it is good to threaten people with hunger until they are motivated enough to get one, is absolutely terrible.
That can't explain any similarity between what I quoted and English translations of the Qur'an -- because while what I quoted came from the intro to Dawood's translation of the Nights, what it is is a sample of Burton's translation (which Dawood quotes as an example of Burton's oddity).
Awesome, I really missed this action!
If I understand this correctly, everything unavailable is eligible for a 25% credit, and if the downtime exceeds ~4 hours then it's a free month.

Neat!
It reminds me a little bit of "Gödel, Escher, Bach" in terms of its playfulness.

The use case for actors is any time you want to distribute work across multiple nodes. In general, actors are a great concurrency model that simplifies a lot of the complexity of distributed programming.

OpenMW is impressive, but the modding community around Morrowind was always amazing. A selection of good mods and the original game becomes a minor distraction. Tamriel Rebuilt [0] alone is probably about as many hours of gameplay as the original Morrowind and a much larger area to explore.

Yeah, science outpost (in the spirit of Antarctica or ISS) is what I have in mind when I think of humans on on Mars. And the interactions are more likely to be remote controlling rovers on surface than doing surface ops themselves.

> That is literally the opposite of MBA philosophy, not an even better version of it.

Who said anything about MBAs? The Apple way is clearly the better way to do it at the moment, and has been for the last decade. The MBAs at Intel are not even in the same league.

And Apple owns factories in the US too. They own them for other reasons, not because they "need" them to make products or are profitable on their own.

Why would that example not be someone on food stamps? SNAP is not that much money, and it's obviously being stretched a lot further when she suddenly had an extra 40 meals per week to provide. This affected tons of citizens - that's why the USDA approved and funded school lunch replacements, like central pickup points and in some places lunch deliveries.
For long term archiving, it’s essential practice to move data from machine to machine over time anyways, as machines get old and obsolete and can’t be repaired after a certain age.

Right now there’s a maximum deal term of 1.5 years. Potentially that could be extended as the system matures and miners become capable of taking on longer commitments.
Thinking about it, maybe "Shadow Train" would be more accessible - those ones are all capped at 16 lines each, which gives you a healthy dose of the typical Ashberian verbal delirium without throwing you straight into the deep end.

I can't believe you are being serious - why are you comparing a shell script to a million-line piece of production software? Apples to oranges. This was written as a joke to make fun of a common gripe against Kubernetes - its complexity. Seems like the Kubernetes community has a bit of a thin skin.
Where do the relevance scores come from? Are they human rated? I feel like that could leave room for error as raters would probably not have the same opinion as me on what a good document is.

There are benefits for recovering patients to get a single shot.

First, it seems that natural immunity is a bit inferior to the mRNA vaccines ('only' 80% protection for people at your age[0]). Second, a single shot offers better protection against the SA variant which can apparently escape the immune reaction of some people who were previously ill[1]. A second shot is apparently unnecessary[2].

Local guideline is to wait a few months following recovery (there are concerns a too early vaccination will lead to immune overreaction) and then get a single shot.

Being able to ignore it's in your face faults in a modern world, I honestly dont think any other RPGs will hit me the same way. Okay, there's one. It's Oblivion.

As much as Todd Howard has been a weasel, they've created two of the greatest RPG's ever made, imo.
The interesting thing is when machines will write something that feels more human than anything humanity could write. I believe that will happen sooner than people think.

WHY ME:

Technical leader with 7+ years experience specializing in back‑end development, large‑scale system design with willingness to learn about building great products. The largest product that I worked on serves more than 30M people in Vietnam. Have worked in both large company as well as startup, have designed and built various systems both in back‑end and front‑end as well as mobile, I have a broad understanding about product developments, proficiency in various technologies.
I also have done research in Deep Learning field since 2012 as my personal interest, I have broad knowledge about this field. I opensource some of my reseach in Github (Computer Vision, Speech).

I’m looking for a remote product company with great opportunity to learn more about building products, prefer AI related startups and improve my technical skills.

Other things: I read a lot books about startups. You guys can connect with me in goodreads: https://goodreads.com/tuan3w .
This was very obviously inspired by Randall Munroe's "capital numbers" comic and I find the lack of acknowledgement disappointing.

Maybe the point was that a lot of proposed etymological theories are inaccurate? (which also seems wrong but at least slightly defensible)
Nope. You aren't. You're at about -19 karma though, and your comment history suggests it may be due to an overfondness for oneliners of dubious contribution to the topic at hand, though I could be wrong on that front since I didn't check all of them in context.

Didn't even need showdead.
What tends to happen is that after a bunch of downvotes, your comments will only be seen by those who see dead people.

You are merely mostly dead.
The growing power of the upper classes largely the result of the way currency debasement is performed. Banks get the money first. They get to spend the fresh money before anybody even gets a taste or prices have a chance to catch up. It is a wealth transfer from the lower classes to the upper class. Without debasement and government meddling the playing field is much more level.
An even simpler explanation is that Biden is reasonably knowledgeable and competent, based on his extensive experience. He seems to me like an intelligent person who is comfortable with technicalities but awkward at banter and small talk.

I can't tell whether you're motivated by skepticism of Biden or politics in general, but you seem irrationally fixated on this, and we're now far away from talking about Youtube.
I'm not making the case that Houston is a good solution to the housing problem. My whole point is that Houston is evidence of what happens when you ignore most preferential factors and just build. I've enjoyed visiting there but the city is aesthetically unappealing, feels vacant of community and yes is a nightmare to traverse.
I've added an event in my calendar to go back to this topic again this day one year from now to see if things have improved any (I skirt with frustration-induced burnout every time it raises its head as relevant, so I need to limit my exposure). Thanks for knowing more than me about this cursed subject matter.

Okay. So they put lots of zeroes in front of the primes. Then they start changing some of the zeroes and prove that it will eventually become composite. This feels like a very distant cousin to Messene prime to me. Could it be used for faster algorithm for finding primes?

This is directly from Martin (developer of Bootstrap Studio and Mail Studio):

"You will notice that Mail Studio has a different pricing model - it is subscription based. This is necessary because the app depends on a lot of cloud features like cloud saves, sending email previews and syncing with email providers, which are not possible to provide with a one-time purchase."

I bought and paid for a lifetime license to Bootstrap Studio and I absolutely LOVE that product.
Why? This is not a completely novel concept, and a daemon is not a particularly complicated thing. You can use shell scripts to easily "daemonize" small programs. It's both fun and effective to do so.

You can mine under 10TiB. You aren’t eligible for block rewards until you are proving at least 10TiB. Filecoin+ verified data deals count for 10x power. There’s a lot of power on the network, so the frequency of winning blocks at the threshold is fairly infrequent.
Fun fact (not fabricated BECAUSE IT'S APRIL 2ND OVER HERE):

Japanese alphabets (kana) doesn't have a concept of upper/lower cases. There are two different types of kanas (round ones and square ones) but they are kind of equal in terms of strength/stress so they can't be used to express anger.

People on 2-Channel forum (Japan's 4chan, basically) came up with a brilliant idea, which is to insert a space between each letter so that it looks a bit wider and has an extra oomph.

Example:

- normal: 今日はいい天気だね。 (it's a fine day, isn't it.)

- angry: 今 日 は い い 天 気 だ ね 。 (IT'S A F*KING NICE DAY ISN'T IT)

I wrote a program in Shakespeare once: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/123378/golf-my-...

It was a lot of fun, and I recommend the experience. You get to figure out control flow (if you've never written a program in anything lower level than C, as I hadn't, you'll need to figure out control flow with just jumps; there are no procedure calls or looping though there's "if"), and then there's some room for creativity in choosing the character names and scene descriptions.
I agree. But the solution is not to throw out all considerations and give developers their way. There must be a way to balance the interests of those who want a neighborhood to remain a nice place to live with open space, gardens and services while also preventing Nimbys from filibustering density.

As someone that often finds myself using spreadsheets to merge, refine, organize, or otherwise work with different datasets, I would say that the simplest 10% of features cover about 90% of my use-cases. It's rare that I need to go digging for anything truly complex (usually VLOOKUP is as hard as it gets). Most data is indeed simple.
I saw it a day before, but on the day of listing they have updated it again
As an alternate example, Github tends to have a pretty good status page in my experience. It'll usually be up-to-date within minutes of people chatting about issues on work Slack and gets updated at a regular cadence with details.

AWS on the other hand... We usually just reach out to our TAMs and say "Hey, our application monitoring is showing tons of errors interacting with service X--can you check your super secret internal dashboards and see what the deal is?"
It's nice to at least have a "Yeah the service is completely hosed and in a bad place" or a "Yeah, some changes went wrong and are being rolled back". The former usually requires some sort of mitigation while the latter can largely be ignored
Google Maps is horrible for use as just a map. I like to use an external Garmin GPS device in my car (with my own custom high-contrast map theme[1]) because it works so well as a HUD map. I rarely set a route, but I frequently refer to it while driving, and as a result I get to know the roads I drive on quite quickly. One of my favourite features is the blue line it paints on the map behind you, which makes it easy to orient yourself when driving in a place you've already been.

[1]: For some reason, both Google Maps and Apple Maps have terrible contrast, to the point where they're completely unusable for me in dark mode, especially while driving. Apple Carplay is useless to me for this reason. Garmin's default map theme is pretty decent, but they actually let you change map themes, and load custom ones if you're so inclined. So I made the street lines bright and bold, with high-contrast keylines. It's an absolute joy to use now.

Because there's no useful news. Anything and everything could be fake. Even stuff that you'd think wouldn't be fake, like Voltswagon, you apparently can't trust.

And it's not even one day. It's several days before and after. It's frustrating in a world of lies and misinformation that I don't even have the most trustworthy sources telling the truth anymore, even for a few days.
That's simply not true; there are LSP client implementations/integrations for vim, neovim, emacs, sublime text, web environments like gitpod.io, Eclipse IDE (via Theia IDE), Jetbrains supports it in their IDEs, and Visual Studio even has some level of support for it.

LSP is _the_ way to write IDE integrations in the modern era.

(I maintain LSP tooling for F# and actively support at least half of the editors above)

I don't see how selling to zerodium is more morally bankrupt than working for defense contractors, which plenty of tech people do.
I don't exactly have a dog in this, but I think this is a strange framing: this feels like exactly the kind of niche feature that was added by one engineer and then forgotten about. MS and Apple are both large companies that maintain individual pieces of software that are probably older than many of the engineers who currently work on them; the lessons here are more organizational than technical.
It's on my to-do list. I could see the need for light and moisture sensors, as well as nutrient bath flow sensors. Not sure what all else besides temperature and humidity.
I had fun a few years ago bypassing captive portals using iodine to tunnel traffic over DNS. However, now that I'm professionally on the defensive side, this was one of the methods of data exfiltration that was really hard to block on AWS until recently. While GuardDuty may trigger on reckless usages of such approach, more cautious ones are slipping under the radar and preventing them implied replacing Route53 by a custom solution (pretty unpractical). Thankfully, AWS recently allowed access to Route53 logs (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/log-your-vpc-dns-queries-wi...) that can be monitored to spot abnormal behavior.

i live in Texas, i expect to see a rise just because new cases have fallen so far so fast and the broad re-opening of the economy. Today, there was the slightest little tick up in average new cases but I do not expect to see a surge like we did over the holidays. Further, i'm 100% onboard reopening the state. There's not a lot of difference between states that locked down hard and states that did not. If there isn't a very large and measurable advantage to crushing the livelihoods of the population then don't do it.

> Comparing apples to apples, if the programmer dabbled in artmaking or writing, I'm confident they would get a similar reaction from accomplished artists or writers.

Yes, this is in-line with what I was, perhaps poorly, trying to articulate. The programmer dabbling in art may get a poor reaction from accomplished artists, much like the artist dabbling in programming may get a poor reaction from programmers.

But that same programmer who is dabbling in art may also get a good reaction from programmers, while that same artist dabbling in programming may also get a good reaction from other artists.

It's precisely that distinction between celebrating those who are in-discipline or in-group and deriding those are out out-discipline or in the out-group is what I am musing about.
