For business-related services, SSO is the easiest approach. It is nice for employee (only one password) and nice for employer (centralized logging and control).

For personal, there is a push for SSO via Google or Facebook, but I think this is pretty dangerous. Google/FB can ban you forever for no reason and there is nothing you can do about it. So passwords, together with appropriate password manager, rule.

In fact, I could argue that password + password manager is superior to most "passwordless" login systems. Both of those give you one-click login as long as you have appropriate software installed. Both of those generate unique credentials to each website. Both of those could sync credentials across devices if desired (and if you trust their cloud service). Both of those a vulnerable to computer compromise. But password manager gives you much more options -- for example, you can have passwords stored on the paper or in a separate database. Or you can share /rotate password for one service without affecting all others.

I'm getting sick of frameworks getting out of date and growing to massive levels of complexity. Yet a shopping cart, payment processor integration, catalogue management are all solved problems in an eCommerce solution.

Similar situation here in the USA. The cops are sitting on their laruels and sipping coffee in parking lots because they feel betrayed by "black lives matter" movement. I know it's anecdotal but I have certainly seen it here in Austin, TX where crime is up like 30% year-over-year. 911 won't even send a cop out for less than a homicide any longer, they just tell you to file a police report online. It's all very deliberate and the city government isn't doing anything about it.

It took over a year and a half to come close to vaccinating everyone. Omicron infected the world in something like 2 months. Your statement that "An intentional policy of inoculation is faster" is clearly wrong.

Not saying this is a good idea though.
That’s ridiculous since SJS and TENS can happen with pretty much any drug.

And fatal anaphylactic reactions to vaccines aren’t atypical.
One issue is that we don't have a lot of text, not even a megabyte of it(represented as unicode characters). So you could get a language model, but how could you judge its output? Maybe it would be really good at generating more similar text, but that text isn't probably super representative of things we would want to be able to read.

The reactionary, populist, view is that we must defend free speech at all costs. This is not actually the constitutional law in the USA, as interpreted by the Supreme Court. This quote from a SCOTUS ruling summarises it really well [1]:

“There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or "fighting" words those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.”

You can in fact do this with HTTPS, but you'd have to find a client and server that support it. There's choices of ciphers, and one of them is the "null" cipher I believe it's called. I'd be shocked if really anything supports it though, without configuring it on explicitly.

> Yah, but fighting to resist invasion also means fighting to preserve values and legal protections.

An invasion is the same whether you are being invaded by people who believe in free speech or by people who don't. WWII was in no way about free speech. Germany was invading other countries not to impose their values and compelled speech, but to create "living space" and take their resources for the "German people". People war opposing this because they didn't want to be killed, nor did they want to serve the "German people" nor did they want their resources to belong to Germany. Nothing much would have changed in the opposition to German occupation if Germany had been a democracy with equality for all and deep protection for free speech, but still hell bent on conquering and controlling all of Europe.
Funny that this is a selling point. “How are you preparing for the end?”

Piracy is about illegally reproducing and or distributing copyrighted work.

> You can't see mistakes, since you basically have an internal autocompletion that doesn't allow you to see mistakes or missing words. Checking the code of my coworkers is surprisingly different, I can find their mistakes quite easily.

Sometimes I'll write something out and reread it several times fully aware that I tend to miss words or misspell things, but in the moments after I've wrote something I'll rarely find any mistakes. However, 30 minutes later after I've sent the email or Slack message I'll reread what I wrote and it's a completely different story. For some reason only then will my brain decide to actually read what was written, but by then it's too late.

I had no idea this was a dyslexic thing. I was diagnosed a while ago and while I know it effects my reading ability I didn't know proofreading specifically was an issue for us.

I'm mildly dyslectic with a dreadful memory. I will stumble across a file I wrote a month or so ago and take a while to realize that I wrote it. The things that help me:

Use JetBrains mono-spaced font.

Use three big desktop LCDs, with largish font, green characters on black background and vim syntax highlighting.

Edit my code on the middle monitor and have reference information on the monitors on either side. Copy 'n paste rather than re-type stuff. Heavy use of keyboard short-cuts, avoid mouse when editing, etc. Lots of ALT-TAB switching between windows (Mate/Debian/Linux).

Quietly read aloud to myself to check spellings, etc. User spelling auto-correction.

Use a fast machine and frequently re-compile individual files with maximum warnings level to get the compiler catch my typos.
Fellow European here, these threads almost universally originate from people that were born and raised in upper middle class US suburbia; there seems to be this odd narrative with that crowd that Europeans all actually prefer the inconvenience of mass transit or dealing with weather/snow/whatever because reasons.

Meanwhile in reality, diesel runs the equivalent of 8-9 dollars a gal, cars are heavily regulated (mandatory inspections, required snow tires, much more stringent licensing) and medieval city planning didn't really take parking into account...
> if X% more people are vaccinated, we will have Y more hospital beds, and Z more elected procedures..

But the problem there is you are not asking for nuance, you are asking for.. lies? The answer is that more vaccination means more hospital beds and elective procedures but no one could credibly argue any specific numbers - it was just not possible to make that calculation without enormous error bars, you can only make the nuanced argument that vaccination produces reduced case counts and hospitalization, and that the public has to understand that this will allow for better services against an unvaccinated baseline. The good news is that a huge majority of people do understand that!

A lot of these old homes people would make smaller (drop ceilings and things like that) to make them cheaper to heat. One theory was that they just weren't using it and didn't feel like heating it.

Or maybe during some renovation someone didn't feel like dealing with it.

I’m a fully remote worker.

To my managers the work I do is a lot.

To me it’s about 4 hours a day. There’s no deceit in this. What I tell them I’m working on is what I’m working on, what I’ve declared as ‘finished’ is factually ‘finished’.

To the company, I’m still contributing the things I agreed to, responsive to the people who come to me for help (as a senior) and on track with the projects assigned to me.

When the wall comes and I just cannot will myself to stare at the same problem anymore, that’s it for the day. Sometimes that takes longer than others, sometimes it’s 5 hours instead of four. Sometimes it’s a whole 8 hour day.

So..matter of perspective, I guess. The agency and autonomy are nice, though. Some people want a shorter work day given. I’ve just decided to take it.

From a technology perspective, I think you're totally right that Wasm and WebGPU support is super exciting for game engines like Unreal/Unity. The ease of distribution could be a game-changer.

That said, I'm not super familiar with the world of game development and distribution. While web-based games have great distribution, the "best" technology or product doesn't necessarily win. Steam has massive power as an incumbent in the space, it does provides a useful service of facilitating discoverability for indie games, and there's definitely some scenarios where web-native games don't make sense [1].

I'm not a linguist and haven't done much machine learning, so forgive my naïveté, but aren't there a couple of core features/structures all languages have? That might not be enough to learn anything/might be what you're saying, but I wonder if there's a way to determine what a plausible grammar is and to try to identify what the nouns are. One you have the nouns, you could try just doing a huge substitution game on different texts in that language and try to see what guesses make the most sense for the most sentences.
I don't know the ultimate fate of Wordle, but I'm comforted by the thought of thousands of programmers all over the world creating and hosting their own little versions and sharing them with friends and family.

> The whole 80's govt advice/warnings on HIV were directed at everyone because they didnt want to stigmatise those engaging in non vaginal intercourse.

Gay people were so stigmatized at the time that the government did nothing when they thought it was a 'gay disease'; they just let an epidemic spread and people die. Very few in the 1980s worried about offending gay people. Once it was spreading to people who weren't gay, then I'm sure health information was provided to those people.

And they deteriorate a lot slower at cold temperatures. Hydrolysis practically stops if you freeze it.

I was able to get to Page 28 of the front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/news?p=28), with 820 total stories. It appears this number isn't fixed (I saw 818 total a few minutes before). What determines how many pages you can see - server memory limits?
The capacity to run them was not built in natively to any major browser.

It was at first. In the early days of Java, Netscape and Internet Explorer had their own embedded JVMs.
It is pretty much always faster though. The same code completely written in JavaScript replaced by the same code written in Rust and compiled to WASM will nearly always be a speed up if you haven't screwed up and made the comparison apples to oranges by introducing copying or something like that. What's not always faster is mixing because of conversions. But this is just a reason to use more WASM :)
I don’t have experience in continuous delivery of apps, but I have experience in embedded systems. In a world where you _cant_ just push updates immediately, you need to increase your test coverage. You should identify what in your stack is causing platform-specific portions of your app to break so often, and fix it.

The problem isn’t the App Store, it’s rushing to market without testing and expecting the user to beta test the app for you. You can have continuous delivery without sacrificing user experience.

I find this defense pretty uninspiring. It spends a lot of time addressing only partially relevant questions about data custody, but then very quickly glosses over the decision to attempt to commercialize their work through a for-profit entity. There are numerous potential concerns around a nonprofit doing this, with what looks a lot like self-dealing being one of the most obvious, and the article just does not satisfy me that these issues were considered at all.
I agree. Telemetry is mostly used to figure out things which you don't need to do because nobody uses them in my experience.

Still, it's a tool of big corporate to provide transparency to VPs, and VPs would love to cut costs in Windows since it's a captive market.
