Today, with WebAuthn, recovery works the exact same way. Which is normally by emailing the user a magical link to a (trusted) address that does some recovery flow. There's nothing different about this, and how much of a weak link it is depends on your risk assessment, I guess. WebAuthn makes other classes of "first-party" attacks like phishing and credential stuffing impossible to perform, however, which is a huge benefit. So on the whole I see it as an improvement, but there could still be a lot improved.

Honestly saying that part out loud, one of the annoying parts of it all now is that the credential store for WebAuthn is now effectively per-application, not per-user. So you need "number-of-browsers * number-of-devices" different registrations, which is basically annoying enough to mean I still use 1Password. In some fancy world, the actual credential store could be some kind of persistent, per-user system service provided to any application, and they would all share these credentials. Sort of like Apple Keychain on steroids, basically, but it needs to work everywhere, on all platforms, and be adopted consistently by applications.
what are you talking about the nuclear power plants of the world have prevented gigatons of CO2 emissions and could have gone a lot further if the decision makers weren't a bunch of nincompoops who share a bed with the oil lobby.
The obvious connection would probably be Drake. The reason that is interesting is that the Aztecs preserved a lot of history, like the Mayan Calendar. It would mean then that Dee was trying to invoke something tied into that Epoch of history, which is Enoch--hence his developed system of Enochian.
Apple should be paying enough money that that issue is not a consideration. If I’m Apple (or anyone else for that matter) I’m paying absolute top dollar times two to resolve these issues. And I’m not even thinking twice about it.
Where did you hear 100% certainty? what I said was if people have specific links they should share them so we can investigate. What's needed is concrete evidence.

Your first and third links don't seem to me to have any specific relevance to HN. Your second link certainly does (thank you!) - on the other hand I can tell you that in other cases when people have used such spam outfits to buy upvotes on HN, the result is that their accounts and sites have gotten banned here.

I'd never claim that there's no abuse happening on HN that we don't know about. That would be absurd! We don't know what we don't know. All I can tell you is that we put a high priority on catching it, and we do catch a lot. Also, I can tell you that many people come up with all sorts of fanciful imaginations and grand, but substanceless, claims about this—that's an internet pastime. Whether or not they're serious users I'll leave to you, but the prevalance of imagination in this area is why we need concrete evidence to go on. When we get it, we take it seriously and act on it.

> folks have been NOT working the 12+ hour days, have NOT been doing the "rolling lunches" and other wild hollywood stuff (that a construction worker would think was crazy)

Why would a construction worker think 12+ hour days are crazy?

My experience is that this is normal for roading workers in the road-making season.

One-hour lunches, though: now that's just crazy talk.

Isn't the government supposed to be the one preventing anticompetitive behavior?
I think he's saying that if there are 10 million citizens demanding something, and they're certain that they're correct, then it might require the National Guard to prevent them from taking what they believe to be theirs. In a society where those 10 million people accept the authority of the world's greatest experts in arithmetic, there presumably wouldn't be 10 million people making unreasonable demands because their thinking would have been set right by experts. I'm not 100% sure if this is a water-tight argument, but I think it's what the parent comment was getting at.
it needs enough data. often "enough" is measurable amount, so technically speaking if you had a specific use case you could answer it.

but in practical terms, there is absolutely no reason training would be done on a smartphone. or any pc for that matter. you only need to train once, then you can use anywhere.
For sure in other games, yeah. Newell is opposed to kernel anti cheats, though, so probably not in CSGO. But other games now look at CSGO and make kernel AC's a selling point (literally Valorant's selling point), so yeah.
I switched from Parcel (v1; had trouble upgrading) to esbuild for my web game, and it's been much simpler. And faster, obviously.

If you don't care about having a large plug-in ecosystem, or things like image optimization being handled directly by your bundler (and other stuff, from scanning the linked article), I'd say just go with esbuild
The first day that anything is available is technically “day 0”, but if I told you I had a PS5 zero day you’d assume I’d discovered a major compromise of the PS5, not that I’d managed to purchase a console the day they went on sale.
Your vote has limited power to alter the market because it's just one vote. America chose Wal-Mart over Main Street. It's tragic, but that's what American consumers chose.
Not the person you're replying to, but if everyone gets a shot then the restrictions can go away. There a lot of articles[1] that say vaccinated can get Covid, but the chances of a bad sickness or death is much much lower. If everyone is vaccinated then Covid will really just be a flu.

For example Portugal with 98% vaccination rate and no idiots screaming "oppression!" has dropped mask mandates.

Sometimes I do wish the governments would just drop restrictions and let the unvaccinated deal with it, but luckily for them, governments still have a duty to care even for the belligerent, even providing them with hospital care when they get the virus.

[1] which the antivaxxer can just dismiss as propaganda or fake news!
I've probably only seen a few partial videos, (out of not wanting to see more of them) but it just comes across as consumer tech blog masquerading as more technical to me.
This is correct. But I think it confounds a lot of people because “comments” are often overloaded. E.g. comments used for tooling and API-facing documentation are not always distinguishable from comments intended for maintainers.

The former is supposed to answer “what”. You’re describing the characteristics of a part of the elephant, from the perspective of knowing the whole elephant.

In the latter, “why” is what determines whether a code comment is valuable (or if the code under comment is itself questionable). If your comment needs to explain to maintainers (including future-you) what the code does, it’s a huge red flag. The most reasonable exceptions to that are: important optimizations that obscure understanding the code by reading it; you have to interact with APIs out of your control that force you to write hard to understand code.
Sounds like software developer markets (and others) right now.
The subtext to the requirement that only strong and willing passengers sit in the emergency row is not their ability to open the door in the event of an emergency, but to block the aisle and stem the flood of panicking passengers in the rows behind while a staff member opens the door.
I understand this page is more than likely distributed in jest, but it inadvertently made a few compelling points. I've removed my smoke detectors as an experiment. If this account stops posting, you know that at least in this case, the assumption was wrong.
your half-life example is technically correct, yet by making a fanciful example of "forty million billion trillion" rhetorically, it makes the statement of harm sound like "oh, 21,000 years of half-life is not at all harmful" .. I think you are aware that spent nuclear fuel is poisonous by any definition.

Second, the amount of material is not at all mentioned in your definition. One half of one gram of material, is not the same as the many kilograms of spent fuels from a working reactor, or the 2000 metric tons of spent fuel generated now in the USA each year. So I ridicule that in an unexpected way, with another extreme example, comparing something tiny, to something massively large that everyone knows.

There is some false confidence in my opinion, about "know the facts" of radiactive materials.. when bio-accumulation in the food chain, uncontained dispersion, poisoning fresh or salt waters where life exists, and human exposure over time, and repeated exposure, are serious things.
I’ll ask some MS pals for some data.
This is a matter for the relying party (typically a web site). WebAuthn doesn't define what should happen if you can't do WebAuthn.

Yes, if they've got a "lost device" flow that bad guys can easily defeat then, bad guys can easily defeat it.

This particular situation feels a bit cruel given it’s about disabled children, but I have a controversial aside to explore: I feel like there is a place for corporal punishment in schools in the more general case. My classrooms had disrespectful and disruptive brats who dragged down the learning experience for everyone. It’s clear their parents didn’t do their job and schools could have used better deterrents to correct their behavior, or at least to protect the needs of other children. I’m not defining what the right techniques are or what the limits are, but am claiming that a free for all with weak punishments like detention is not the right solution.
esbuild definitely caught my eye. I'm now noticing they support CSS and static files, which I guess I didn't realize. Is it easy to setup and configure? Because that is the one part of Webpack I cannot stand.
This is a good example of why dynamic vars are dangerous. They are just as perilous as global state, but are more surprising and more difficult to understand. Prefer passing explicit arguments in all cases. You don't have to even think about the behavior, and you'll never spend 8 hours tracking down a missing binding in a commit from 2018.

> An all new plugin system, which makes Parcel fully extensible. This allows Parcel to scale from small side projects to massive production applications with complex build requirements.

Everything old is new again! Parcel embarks on the path that Webpack did, and it's only a matter of time before the plugins are doing more and more core work, and Parcel's successor will again rewrite them and bring those in to the core.
Perhaps in an effort to increase the comment quality of HN, we should all pitch in some engineering time pro-bono to Reddit. Before you strike me down, think about it.
I also switched to Parcel. My use case was such that Parcel was a faster and simpler choice. That being said, I am starting to look at esbuild, in the hopes of making builds even simpler.
I've realized over the years that most negative comments either don't originate from good faith, or are interpreted as bad faith, and that a majority of moderation is probably just reacting to these comments. In addition, it's less likely we will perceive comments as good faith if we can't identify with the commenter. Seems like there is still a big opportunity to iterate on these properties, like a system that highlights similarities between commenters, or reframes positions and backgrounds to be more in line with good faith.
This is why we have reality TV
I would like to see a comprehensive benchmark of parcel v2 and vite.
The documentation is top notch. I was able to learn it and switch over to it in about an hour or two for a moderately complex codebase targeting both Node and the web, and using Workers and some code splitting.
Because for most consumers $60 is more valuable that 1% vs 0.6% cancellation rate [0], as it matters only once in 250 flights, which for an individual effectively means never.

Oh, there is zero doubt about that part. The moment this video showed up, it was like Christmas in July for the right side of the political spectrum in US. What you call careless mistake, I see as the problem with modern journalism. It does not even need a spin. You just show one frame and meme theory will take care of the rest.

>Also, as another member pointed out, Airbnb's performance marketing budget is still well over $200M/year, which no responsible/public company would spend if it wasn't returning a great ROAS

That's not really an argument. You wish that a responsible/public company wouldn't do that but we have seen much dumber behavior.
It’s funny how selective free market thinkers can be on these things.
It’s worth noting that Parcel v2 still needs work to support some basic use cases. For instance, it does not correctly build a Sass file that pulls in Bootstrap imports from NPM: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/6002#issueco....

We tried switching to Parcel v2 but we had to downgrade back to v1.
An excellent question.

Hearing obviously (almost always) worsens with age, but it's not a linear degradation across the entire range of hearing, like adding random static noise to an entire television image. You can often still hear many/most frequencies very well even when experiencing moderate hearing loss.

Moderate hearing loss is almost always more severe in the higher frequencies a.k.a. treble. For example I'm in my 40s, and my hearing's starting to become crap above 8khz.

Meanwhile, the fundamental frequency of most musical content is quite a bit lower in the frequency range. The highest fundamental frequency of a standard piano with standard tuning is around 4khz, and most notes are an octave or five below that; "middle C" is usually defined as 262hz.

So, still plenty to enjoy even if one's hearing is no longer pristine.

typical rate of hearing degradation due to age graphed
against typical income growth with age

This correlation is not lost on speaker manufacturers. A lot of pricey speakers add (at least) a few extra dB of treble.

None of the manufacturers will admit it, of course, but you can't convince me otherwise: I've always been certain this is an attempt to appeal to the degraded hearing capabilities of their aging+affluent customers.
I'm a little out of my depth on this particular topic.

Is it possible to stop this[1] kind of cheat without some kind of hardware verification?

Lol if you think that isn't happening right now. Google made a change to its algorithms sometime in the past 5 years to surface "authoritative" sources, meaning sources that toe the state department line. For example, the World Socialist Web Site, which has a consistent anti-war line reported being demoted.

"Google blocked every one of the WSWS’s 45 top search terms" (8/2017)

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/08/04/goog-a04.html

"Google admits to censoring the World Socialist Web Site" (11/2020)

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/11/04/goog-n04.html

"In a statement before a Senate hearing on October 28, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google’s parent company Alphabet, admitted that the dominant online search company has censored the World Socialist Web Site.

At the Senate Commerce Committee hearing, when asked by Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah to provide the name of one left-wing “high profile person or entity” that has been censored by Google, Pichai named the WSWS."

No. It doesn’t release any more heat than burning that fuel in cars or airplanes would. Chemistry is chemistry. And a Falcon 9 consumes about as much fuel as 3 fully loaded 737s. While not trivial, it’s also negligible in the grand scheme of things. We could be launching hundreds of these every day before it has a noticeable impact on the global environment.

You're just misinformed and wrong.

The ultimate system was probably the one in the screening room at Dolby Labs on Potero in San Francisco. The entire room was supported on anti-vibration mounts, isolated from the rest of the structure by an air gap. Outside that was a foot of acoustic insulation. The speakers are built into big chambers in the walls hidden by grille cloth screens. There's a control and projection room at the back. You didn't even see the system. Which is the point. The equipment should not distract from the show.

The room also had good enough acoustics that a speaker didn't need amplification to address 90 people.

I was there once for a demo of spatial audio for video games. We could hear the enemies sneaking up behind us. They had full hemisphere speaker coverage.

The room wasn't particularly luxurious. It was a working facility for the industry.

Dolby has since moved to a larger facility and built a new, larger screening room. I haven't seen that one.
Parcel definitely looks simpler than Webpack. Of course Webpack tries to advertise itself that way, but it's never the case.
> They have an A/B experiment running on the Mac

Kind of, in terms of sideloading restrictions; not at all in terms of software library, business model, and incentives.

Most (70%+) of Apple's iOS App Store revenue is from games (largely in-app purchases since mobile games tend to be "free to play.") In fact Apple's profits from iOS gaming are larger than the gaming profits of Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Activision combined.

You can ask any poor Mac gamer about the state of the Mac game business... it isn't great, and it certainly isn't Apple's bread and butter like iOS gaming.

From the perspective of Apple's business and profits, the iPhone is largely a walled-garden game system, much closer to the PlayStation, Switch or Xbox than to the Mac.

Apple isn't wrong about potential security and privacy threats, but the threats to Apple's business and profits are most likely the driving issue.

And Isaac Newton:

“English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton produced works exploring chronology, and biblical interpretation (especially of the Apocalypse), and alchemy. Some of this could be considered occult. Also, Newton described himself as a ‘natural philosopher’, and his work is grounded in Aristotelian metaphysics. Newton’s scientific work may have been of lesser personal importance to him, as he placed emphasis on rediscovering the wisdom of the ancients. In this sense, some historians, including economist John Maynard Keynes, believe that any reference to a ‘Newtonian Worldview’ as being purely mechanical in nature is somewhat inaccurate.”

I think https://vitejs.dev/ is better. It pulls in a much smaller set of packages for a hello-world non-CRA react app. I think it was something like 1.3k lines of yarn.lock for Vite vs 6k lines for Parcel v2. JS projects shouldn't be bloated, even if this would get optimized-out for production.

In the ideal world, you would use esbuild only, but you still need the other features for development: hot reload, hot module repalcement, and pretty error pages when you cause a RuntimeError.
A good way to understand this is to look at the problems the languages themselves claim to address, and fanning out to see how people struggle to address those with another language where similar work is done. A lot of times the language itself isn’t the goal or the end product, but approaching it from that perspective helps to frame less exploratory approaches in a more conventional environment.
There has been a noticeable uptick in news about worker dissatisfaction this year.

Covid-19 may have been a trigger for many people to re-assess their work and lives, perhaps leading some Boomers to retire as well as causing younger people to re-evaluate their work.

But: the underlying power dynamics between workers and employers have changed now, because of demographics that were put in place 20 years ago.

In developed countries (and China), the number of working-age people has now started to decline. For the first time in decades, workers have negotiating power.
