Because your parents do not have cellphones, Google will conclude that it doesn't know a better way to authenticate them and they get to keep their existing (poor) security. As the article eventually explains.

If you would like your parents to have better security for these accounts, I commend Security Keys. Unless your parents aren't together any more, or are just really fervently independent, it's probably fine to buy them one each, but with the suggestion that they both enroll both keys. This way when Parent #1 loses the Yubikey you bought them, Parent #2 can use their Yubikey to save the day until a new one is purchased.

Yubico's USB A format factor "Security Key 2" is robust, but relatively expensive for what you need.

Searches for "Security Key" on Amazon or your preferred site will give you a pile of products and review feedback across price brackets, the only thing your parents are likely to care about are the connector (USB A is no use for a USB C MacBook for example) and maybe other form factor concerns like can it hang from a keychain, or would it fit in a wallet? For their purpose these things don't fill up, and shouldn't (modulo physically smashing it) wear out.
And what will the workers who rely on those jobs do?
You picked off the easily googled articles that are unrelated to Coinmint and happened during the crypto boom in 2017 / 2018, when people were renting warehouses and filling them with miners. Everyone got rightfully pissed.
GraalVM is awesome.
Just curious more than anything, has there been any model/ai/robot-car that has even come close to responding to the kinds of nuances described above? It seems like so far we are just celebrating that the cars that can stay in a lane, not hit things, which is a huge I get it, but I don't see how sophisticated CV heuristics could even come close to approximating the kinds of edge cases that exist here, both in the social sense of communicating with other drivers, and responding to things that should not be the case (no lines on a road, a double parked car), but in practice are the case everyday in cities.
My understanding of CRT at it's heart is there's such a thing as institutionalized bias.

Basically that you can build rules that look un-biased on there face but actually have a biased effect.

which wasn't that kinda what the matrix was about?
> it's difficult to overstate how often cars/vans/trucks are double parked, changing the lanes available, forcing cars and bikes to improvise lanes. This isn't an occasional thing, this is a 10x on a 15 minute trip thing

This is so true. Cars haphazardly double park on either side. Best case you’re dodging and weaving, drifting through the painted lane suggestions. Sometimes you’re just stuck and waiting while one of them decides to move. Always the bicyclists get the raw end of the deal in terms of their safety and priority.

I often wonder what would happen if they removed all parking from one side of the street to make long loading-only lanes, and strictly enforced it to prevent people from stopping on both sides.

If you just had one functioning, unimpeded lane for car traffic I suspect it’d improve traffic conditions considerably, vs. four extremely inefficient lanes for cars (2x parking, 2x driving)
Anecdotal but I feel the same.

I initially had some palm-rejection issues with the very first "oversized" MacBook Pro trackpad (2016?), but I think that must have been resolved by an update. I can't recall having problems with accidental clicks in years, and I too have a Magic Trackpad for my docked laptop.

Having used non-Apple laptops with trackpads, I have always been surprised at how universally awful they've been. Maybe things have improved now, but one of the greatest crimes I noticed was trackpads where certain regions behaved completely differently. I think on some of them, the right side of the trackpad—completely unidentifiable by touch—would trigger scrolling instead of moving the cursor. I struggle to understand who could have thought this would be a good idea, but apparently somebody must find it useful.

I've never known about the the three-finger drag setting but I'll give it a shot. I disagree a bit with tap-to-click, which apparently I've had enabled without issue but I don't believe I actually ever use it.

Yes, if the word 'complexity' falls then emergence is inevitable to be mentioned alongside.
That's true. If both conversions are 90% efficient, we are talking a 81% efficiency in both process, wasting nearly 1/5 of the energy used. That's not good at all.
Going further, imagine a world - which is not very far behind us - where you work at a software company and someone comes in with their jeans and hoodie and ability to quote the last fastco article headline and gets the job.

It is in fact, frustrating because you are looking to sell your skills, not a hastily put together image. There was time, energy, effort and potentially years of life poured into what you're attempting to present.

Let me frame this up in terms of white/black disparity in the US, as it's the clearest case: black people have for a long time been explicitly discriminated against at an institutional level, and even when you remove this, they will collectively remain at a disadvantage until corrective action is taken. Traditionally the suggested solution is reparations, but organisations have decided that to do their part they should engage in affirmative action. Of course affirmative action slightly disadvantages white people on an individual level, but the argument is that black people are disadvantaged on a societal level from said discriminatory history, so it balances out.

Affirmative action isn't actually a systemic solution though, it's an individualistic solution. A systemic solution would be something like creating a government fund to invest in infrastructure and enterprises in historically redlined areas and help to bootstrap the economic uplifting of poorer black communities.

Do bear in mind though that I'm from the UK so this is just my understanding of an issue I'm not personally familiar with.
You sound upset ;)

(sorry, couldn't help myself. I think you're all great simply for being here and applying your intellects!)
Ha, I did not realize that I do the same thing on my mid-2013 MBA11. I left the MacBook ecosystem in 2016 so I guess I don't have to worry about this.
The most common solution is one-time-use backup codes that most services give you when enrolling. Hopefully you saved them somewhere safe!

The main issue is Google Authenticator and how popular it is. As GP noticed, it doesn't flag the files as being allowed for backup which is kind of ridiculous. Almost anything is better, https://getaegis.app/ is my recommendation.

You can also manually backup your seed (screenshot / save the QR code during enrollment).
That's a great idea, and worth remembering for me in the future, but it's also worth noting not everyone can afford a 2FA mule phone.

(yes even as relatively "cheap" phones are these days. there was a time that $20 was a no-go for me.)
That actually makes a lot of sense, thank you!

I'd imagine you have to recompile every C/C++ library used by your python code
Yep -- you must save the backup codes off line, off-device for any hope of recovery from loss or damage of that device.

This is the weakness of the scheme. It relies on people doing something that most people are not good at doing.

Thus there will probably be a way for the user to recover without the codes (sending in photo ID or whatever) and that will be the point of attack for anyone trying to maliciously take over the account.
> Precisely because it's an unnecessary amount of code overhead.

One extra line per step is not a lot of overhead.
How are automated cars and parking outside the city related?

You can park your car outside the city, and use public transport, no self driving technology is required.

It's not that that they are against progress, they are against shiny new things that don't make sense.

Our need is less cars on the road. Not automated cars available per person in anytime of day. at most this will solve parking, but not congestion.
OT: It's interesting to me why people trust things on the Internet, when everyone knows the Internet is drowning in BS. We know, yet we keep ingesting it.

If you think about what goes into a high school textbook, including the expert reviews before one is recommended (IIRC, Richard Feynman served on a review panel for school textbooks), AFAIK there's no comparison.

Thank you. I can't help but feel the wall textures have screwed the whole thing. It might be that they've tried to just be too clever with this and a less complex solution (flat shading, gouraud shading) would have worked better.

It's not ethical to withhold this information. I'm sorry it makes it harder for your fraud departments but it's not ok to reject someone and not tell them why.

That's all there is to it. I've had this happen to me by banks before and it's shit because the customer has no recourse. They can't advocate for themselves.

This practice needs to change, industry-wide.
Everything is Meme if you frame it as such, so its nonsense to do so.

GPU Shortage has nothing to do with Employee shortage.

The GPU shortage is a symptom of clouds, crypto, consoles and more importantly Apple. Apple has so much buying power that they purchased the majority of fabrication capacity to sell you M1* chips. It doesn't matter what consumers want or do.

As for Employers and wages - Individuals can actually choose to work for places that pay livable wages. There is nothing more important in a capitalist society than wages that afford you the ability to thrive in said society. If businesses can't pay those kind of wages, those businesses shouldn't exist. Workers are not socialized labor systems for private business profits.
I think the only way to handle the possibility of failure of a 2FA system is to have multiple options configured. They all can fail somehow: loss, damage, hardware failure, etc. On my Google account I have two security keys, an OTP app, and saved backup codes.

That's not user friendly though. I don't see how to make a user friendly, reliable, and safe 2FA system. Not having 2FA isn't safe either!

> They all [are] written in unsafe languages (C and C++) and can be abused by cyber criminals and governments to spy on and track people at will.

All major OSes (regardless of formfactor) that a consumer uses are written in C.

All languages, including C, are "unsafe" if the standard is that software in said language can be written in an unsafe way. Writing an operating system, firmware, or embedded software is a fundamentally different category of activity from writing some CRUD app (other than unhelpfully sharing terms like "engineering", "language", and "software.") OSes are written in C because the task demands it; the reason that there isn't a Javascript-based kernel isn't an arbitrary one. Perhaps Rust will change the game at some point, however as it stands, it doesn't make any sense to draw a distinction between OSes written in so-called "unsafe" and "safe" languages.
An hour sound terrible, given it is daily. That's a serious part of your workday (week, year)!

Where I work it's 10-15 minutes for 10-15 people. We're with a bunch of disciplines (hardware, embedded, mobile and cloud) so it gives me a birds eye view of the bigger picture and some insights into where my activities will touch others, and where I can help or provide ideas.

In addition, especially now we're remote, it's a way to sync up the devs time-wise. Some days a small ad-hoc group (2-4) will stay in the meeting to discuss an issue at hand. Plus often bilaterals are planned 'after the standup', since we're all in, and in meeting mode at that point anyway.
Now Github will require Microsoft login.
I'm sure you do hate it. Many people hate recognizing that their own behavior has been harmful to others.

> the act of touching hair cannot itself be deemed aggressive without knowing the context

I have never in my life had random people walk up and start petting me. Be honest. If I walked down the street feeling the hair of each man I passed, how long do you think it would be before I got punched?

So white people already know perfectly well you don't just go around touching strangers. It's just that some will make an exception for black people because they are seen as other/lesser.

I would add that your notion that a microaggression is ok due to white ignorance of the experience of black people at the hands of white people is itself a racist notion.

And giving an example in Japan doesn't change much for me, as as Japan is a notoriously racist place. (For those unsure, a quick Google of "racism in Japan" will help. And I think you could understand that what's harmless to you as a high-status foreigner is not always going to be harmless for other people. Especially, say, a marginalized group whose inferior status was established America's founding and persists to this day.
Both are forks of older versions of Firefox, aren't they. This makes it harder to keep them patched I think.
Yes you can flip a switch and direct the power elsewhere, that is what switching yards do. The plant might have a supply contract with Alcoa but if Alcoa doesn’t use the supply they contracted for you they don’t have to throw the power away. Usually those agreements have take or pay provisions which require the buyer to pay regardless of whether they take the power. If they don’t take the power the generator is free to sell it on.

Transmission losses are not nothing but they are not huge. Maybe 2% to New York (it isn’t they far). Maybe 5% total if you include distribution.

Edit: Follow the lines out of the plant, at 44.978432, -74.797925 they split.
In the 1990s it actually made some sense. If you go back to, say, 1993, every RISC vendor was selling chips that were much, much faster than x86. It was working like gangbusters.

The problem is that development costs rose and rose and rose without bound. Even if you could outsource fabrication, just designing your chip would bankrupt you.

HP, to their credit, saw the writing on the wall. The Itanium started as a joint Intel/HP project. It was HP's attempt to get Intel to pay for their new generation of chips, and sell it to the broader industry, in the hope they could have a new generation that would be (somewhat) backwards compatible with PA-RISC, but get off the treadmill of escalating development costs.

It was a clever plan, but as we know now, it didn't work worth a damn. Practically nobody but HP actually bought the IA64 chips. Intel quickly realized it wasn't worth any further investment and let HP's badly-needed chip series wither on the vine.

Sun didn't even have that much of a plan. They kept making chips they could not afford, and when "Rock" threatened to bankrupt the company... they just gave up. Even though giving up also threatened to bankrupt the company.
Do you think it would be better to filter the news as a group rather than individually? I find it very frustrating not being able to trust titles.
> I know a lot of senior developers who were hired this way.

Knowing the hiring practices of some consultancy firms and how they routinely upsell their hotdog junior devs as prime rib senior developers, I have to say that I also know a few senior developers who were hired this way.

It's not hypocrisy.

We need computers for a lot of solid, real life uses.

We don't need cryptocurrencies for almost anything being peddled. They're supposed to be decentralized, but you can't really use them that way in 99% of situations. They're supposed to be currencies and instead they're vehicles for speculation. Etc.

I think their slogan should be: "You don't really need cryptocurrencies for that".
Yeah, the 16KB cards were from Atari and the banked switched cards were from third parties. Antic Magazine (named for the chip) had a lot of ads in the back for those.

I've also had this situation when relocating countries.

I'm with fastmail now. I will never again depend on a mail service that I am not paying for.
I'm a little surprised that spaces for indentation are still a thing given their accessibility issues. I agree that most IDEs cover up any usability problems with them though (same with tabs).

As long as attackers are sending their exploits to their targets they're going to have trouble remaining in the shadows. Perhaps if we continue unmasking the attackers they'll think twice about operating so brazenly.
It's important to remember that YAGNI is a guideline not a rule. If someone spends 10-minutes thinking about the future instead of writing code immediately, and they realize a need that introduces some extra upfront effort but reduces longterm maintenance (fewer changes in the future because it already matches the desired structure), then YAGNI doesn't apply. For standard work, this is a pretty common situation to find yourself in: Recognizing that you've done X before and it led to a particular structure, so when doing X' start with the final structure instead of insisting on 100 extra refactors along the way.

Not really, it's about five clicks to start an album, which I'm pretty adept with, and plays for an hour. I have several hundred in Letter/Artist/Year,Album order. Less work than futzing with the radio constantly, which is generally terrible (unless you love tired top-40).
While you may prefer it when people pull their masks down to talk to you. I would bet there's going to be another lipreader who would be aghast if i were to pull my mask down to talk to them. I'd need to establish you were okay with it first and that the communication is important enough to justify the risks. Even then it's not unreasonable to refuse unless the communication was essential, a genuine health risk is going to trump communication 99% of the time.

While i would be okay with doing this as i'm vaccinated and in a low risk category and don't live with high risk people, if that wasn't the case (most people) I wouldn't under any circumstances pull my mask down unless the communication was life or death. I would have a choice between inflicting a horrible death on myself/others or making your life unfairly difficult. And as unfair as that is to you, choosing the second doesn't make someone an asshole when you consider the options available.

The only solution I can think of would be everyone wearing clear masks/shields, but since they aren't widely available and are more expensive, I don't think it's reasonable to expect most people to do it.

I think your anger (justified as it may be) is being misdirected here and your response doesn't really relate to the comment you're replying to.
If I come up to you, violate your personal space, and start running my hands over your body, you will absolutely see it as aggressive.

So yes, calling more modest unwanted touching a microaggression is perfectly appropriate.
You could have made the same argument about the Internet itself 20 years ago (i.e., a speculative new technology that provides little evident utility while costing a lot in terms of energy usage). What about Amazon's 2-hr delivery? Do you really need a gas-guzzling vans delivering at all hours when the USPS will come to your door daily anyway? What about ride share? How many millions of people opted to ride alone in a gas-guzzling car vs taking a bus or the train?

Energy usage is highly correlated with economic development, trying to curtail energy usage is akin to economic suicide. What you should be advocating for is clean energy production, not consumption. You're headed down a precarious slope if you start policing how and on what people can use energy.
