Everyone loves CSS grid layout now, right?

On Safari (both iOS and OS X) Safari does not support grid-gap, i.e. "gap" CSS property.

I use the fullscreen API to give prototype demos of a product to clients, and iOS [iPhone] Safari doesn't support the fullscreen API.

Look at the quality of those images of the ground in that video. Those blades are whirring around at super-high rates to provide lift in the Martian atmosphere and taking 30 pictures per second, but in each exposure you can clearly see the shadow of the blades with very little blurring. And with ambient solar brightness quite a bit lower than Earth's "full sunlight", too. Those are quality cameras.
This stuff matters, and I hadn't thought of it in the way you're putting it.

One of our local banks disabled autofill without warning, and they went out of their way to detect if someone was pasting a password.

There was backlash and frustration, and they eventually reversed the decision.

After reversing it, they still put a disclaimer about not pasting passwords, but that disappeared after a few weeks.
I'm confused why they used "unsophisticated" and "sophisticated" instead of simply linear/non-linear. It's also weird that the author suggests that everyone starts sophisticated and should become unsophisticated.

Good article otherwise. Loved the remark that we shouldn't strive for hitting the yearly quota and instead just enjoy reading.

> WordPress is like Craigslist in that software engineers hate it, but everyone else happily uses it

Why would a software engineer hate Craigslist? It's one of the most streamlined, responsive web sites I interact with on a regular basis. No third party scripts. It's built to purpose and it works very well without any fuss.

I suppose I have some minor gripes - with noscript it looks awful and they killed off their RSS feeds a while back. But hardly enough to inspire hate!

My wife worked for a company who did this. The packers were dedicated packers, it's what they did. The movers were dedicated movers, moving boxes and large furniture. They were able to do things we wouldn't have thought of - protecting corners and doorways. They also had all the equipment they needed to move heavy/awkward stuff.

I'll personally never move myself again - too much stuff that's still good and would cost too much to replace. And I'm getting too old to want to move a 3BR (aka 1 br and two offices) worth of stuff again. Standing desks are fscking heavy.
I’m the same way. Big international moves were never that big of a thing. Why? Because you can always move back, either a week later or a decade later. It’s not a permanent change.
> Thats really important stuff!

Based on your previous comment, I don't believe you.

You describe your own work as "large projects with novel systems architecture". Large (Important), novel (New and difficult) and dealing with architecture (Complicated and important).

You describe other work as "all they're looking for is a warm seat, closed jira tickets and happy customers". Warm seat (Low skill/easily replaceable), jira tickets (No creativity or thinking, just follow the ticket), happy customers (Isn't this important for everyone?).

The difference in tone is massive. It's hard to believe this wasn't intentional.
>When did 5 GB of RAM become severely limited?

I believe around the year 2000 AMD announced AMD64 and Intel spent years insisting nobody needed 64-bit on the desktop. Then promptly got trounced by AMD for years after they finally released an AMD64 based desktop and Intel scrambled to create a netburst CPU with 64-bit capabilities. So, a long time?

I can make my web site/app extremely hard to use in all sorts of bad ways, the developer being able to disable autocomplete should be the least of anyones worries.

The other side is the situation we have now, autocomplete doing the wrong thing all over the place with no way to stop it. Stomping on my apps specific database driven autocomplete really hurts the user experience. Also autofilling fields without the user noticing and entering wrong data into forms. What a mess.
> you just a hater

Just stop
Not just that, the "a password" is also not leaking a stored password to a random website that contains this string, it's really just popping up the autofill prompt with the passwords that you explicitly stored for this specific website.
ClickHouse can select and insert directly from/to remote MySQL [1] and PostgreSQL [2] tables. See MySQL and PostgreSQL database engines. It's a common way to access mutable dimension data as well as to pull data into ClickHouse for analysis.

I have not used PostgreSQL myself but the MySQL database engine works great. In some cases queries from ClickHouse to MySQL run faster than they do on MySQL itself. There are other engines as well, e.g., MongoDB.

Why does the United States feel entitled to drain the intellectual capital of countries that are least able to afford losing it? These discussions always end up going on about "the good of the country" but never about the good of other countries or the good of humanity. "The good of the country" really means for the good of the top 0.001%, which is where the purported benefit mostly ends up.

If the US is going to hoover up all of the intellectual capital it can, it at least needs to acknowledge that this is harming other countries and accept some of the burden of repairing some of the damage this causes without attaching a bunch of strings that primarily benefits the US. Don't be surprised when so much of the world is resentful of you if you keep up this type of behavior.

How does that work? Are the binaries from Ada core (not FSF) intentionally distributed under GPL while the source for standardlib/run-time come with LGPL/run-time exceptions?

It was my understanding that the Ada core distribution is full GPL only, and the FSF one (lagging a few versions) was licensed more like gcc?
High income brackets are vastly higher incomes so people at low incomes (~30k) rarely reach that level. In 2020, the top 1% was $531,020.00 / year, that’s rare, 2% is $387,116.00 again a huge jump for most people.

However, some people very briefly enter high income status via a windfall. But, even here it’s mostly people with high incomes rather than poor people winning the lottery etc.
I have thought before that if Java's interfaces worked like Go's did, with implicit satisfaction instead of having to declare explicitly, that there would probably be no Go. If I could go back and change one thing about Java, that's what it would be. I know there's other more obvious pain points that most people would pick, but I think this is a subtle one that undergirds several of the more obvious ones.

(To be clear, I am aware that Go and Java still have differences beyond that; my claim is that with this change Java would have been "good enough" that Go either never would have been spec'd or it never would have gotten any traction if it was. Java, however, has left a significant window open for Go because it has gained traction.)

The problem with the way Java does it is that it forces a temporal dependency between interface and implementation, all to avoid a programmer error which on average will happen less than once per programmer career: http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2954 This causes a lot of gyrations to be necessary to use them properly, which starts introducing the desire for heavyweight ways of autogenerating this, etc. and roll around that cycle a few times and that's how you end up with as much XML as code in your codebase.

I think Java and Go are a really interesting case study for people interested in programming languages, because on paper they are virtually identical languages (especially if you ignore channels and select in Go), and it gives a clean demonstration of how even those not-very-large differences end up having a profound effect on how solving problems in those languages are best done.

That statement is true for a small set of elite universities. For the vast majority of higher education, the most important things are classes, degrees, and the jobs that result. If by "classes" you mean "lectures" then sure, lectures are a pretty small part of the university.

This is the continued dilution of security with audit/compliance. It's a mindless, check the box mentality. They don't care about real-world security, they offer insurance to cover the losses. But many insurers are no longer paying due to the volume of incidents and the lack of sound security.

The auditors are typically 10 to 15 years behind technical security expertise.

If you want a PKI, the Certificate Authority role comes with that. If Alice wants to know something about Bob, either Alice must have this aprori knowledge, or else some third party Trent trusted by both Alice and Bob is involved. The Certificate Authority is Trent.

TLS 1.3 has the "compromises made to keep the middle boxes happy" built into it. A Semantically equivalent protocol, which is spelled differently (and thus incompatible with middle boxes in the real world so you could never deploy it) would have the exact same provable security properties, but that isn't TLS 1.3. ekr's "Compact TLS" is roughly this.

The trick most often seen in clients (particularly web browsers) implementing TLS 1.2 and earlier, of downgrading and trying again, does not exist in TLS 1.3.

If you call a TLS 1.3 server, falsely believing that it is only allowed to speak TLS 1.2 to you and so you should not claim to know TLS 1.3, the server will, unsolicited, signal that it does know TLS 1.3 anyway and your client drops the connection. This feature, called Downgrade Protection, was not enabled in Chrome for about a year because - of course - middlebox vendors can't do anything right, but after a 12 month "fix it or else" warning Chrome enabled the feature.

Based on your username and talking about the 80s I'm going to guess you were born in 1978, i.e. are roughly the same age as me. I find it interesting you talk about "Pac12" (and it's not just a typo, you do it a lot) considering that until 2011 it was the "Pac10".

For those not familiar with US college sports, the Pac10 at the time doggodaddo78 and I would have been applying to college was, in vague north-to-south order, University of Washington, Washington State University, University of Oregon, Oregon State University, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, University of Southern California, University of Arizona, and Arizona State University. The Pac12 retains those same teams, but adds University of Colorado and University of Utah.

There's definitely some world-class schools in there, but with respect to all the Cougs I've ever known, I would not put, say, Washington State among the greats.

(Disclaimer: I was accepted to two of those Pac10 schools but could not afford to go to either, so went instead to a smaller state school).
There is a combat flight sim called DCS where individuals repeatedly attempt different methods of killing carrier groups.

The general take away is that anti-aircraft/missile systems are good enough that the only solution is to saturate the air defense and exhaust the 500-1500 million dollar missiles the carrier group has on hand to deploy (assuming you got past the air wing).

A swarm of ultra-cheap drones each with 50-100kg of explosive changes the cost dynamics of defending a ship/carrier group.

In addition to lacking formal verification tools, I'm worried about compiler certification with a language that changes as fast as rust, and c++, and even c now do. Yes you cannstick to a version, but the world and bug fixes, and libraries will pass you by. Which brings up another problem with rust for safety critical. The stdlib is so very thin, that doing almost anything requies a dependency tree of a dozen or more crates by different authors. You need to certify all those as well. Its a nightmare of an ecosystem from the safety cert perspective.
