Another question - I've looked before for any documentation on building tools for Mac, and can't really figure out anything besides "run this xyz app to trigger an AppleScript and do magic".

Does anyone know of any Swift APIs for interacting at the level of the OS itself?
Thanks for the shout-out!

I wrote that U2F implementation in software because I wanted phishing protection without needing to carry a hardware key. Well, and to learn Rust :) It's certainly a security trade-off to just store secrets in your keychain like I choose to, it is not meant to be a replacement for a hardware key and in fact I have a Yubikey I use when the situation calls for it.

I'd love to use TPM and biometrics to implement U2F/WebAuthn on Linux and have a proper, secure solution. Similar to what Apple has done with Touch ID. But that's no easy task. TPM support is poor on Linux and other options like relaying auth requests to your phone for approval and storing secrets in the Secure Enclave is no easier.
Ah yes, the good old downvote without comment. I re-read my first comment earlier but still have no idea what this is about, so I guess I'll make the mistake again next time. Thanks, cu next time!
It never hurts to ask for another set of eyes to review. At the least if something goes awry, the blame isn't solely on you.
FIDO2 with resident SSH ed25519 keys works great, just make sure the OpenSSH client and server versions on all the machines you’ll be using the key on support it. I wish there was a way to sign Git commits somehow using them instead of PGP.

Yes, retailers can purchase software (well, usually rent via SaaS) where they can manage their catalog of inventory, fulfillment, product imagery, etc., all from a single interface.
As others have said, I'm not sure the environment impact is different between 1-2 days vs. a week. In terms of fuel costs etc. Maybe travelling by ship instead of air, or on long haul might affect this though.

I'm more concerned about the human toll on the rapid delivery tbh. As someone joked, I created a prime order that sets off a rube goldbert level of dystopian suffering for a number of humans, just so I get a product at my door that I could have picked up from a local retailer in under an hour.

That's my bigger concern.
I appreciate that there's a response to the 'supply chain attack' issue, but this also seems like we're raising the bar further for participation. I'm still dubious as to whether a phone is required but even if it's not, this now puts a high bar for anyone who doesn't have a phone and creates all sorts of anonymity issues for people that do.

Git is decentralized. My feeling is we should be focusing on technologies that lean into that idea.

Show HN: RFC End Citizen Data Sales Act (California)
The sale of personal information by the government is something that has always really bothered me. This is a bill I drafted that would stop the DMV, voter registration, property tax records, and the post office from selling or publishing without explicit user consent.

It would also require personal information to be accompanied with the provenance of that data. This way, a user can track down who or what is publishing their data and take action to end their relationship with that company.

I would appreciate any feedback, because I am sure I am missing some second and third order effects that this would have.

If you wish to test this out in real life, men, tag along with a woman who is shopping for a new car. I guarantee that the vast majority of salesmen will talk to you, not her. Doesn’t matter that she initiated the interaction with the salesman while you hung out in the background, doesn’t matter that she has said that it will be her car that she is paying for. As long as you are in conversational range, almost all the car salesmen will talk to you, not her. Source: been there, done that, repeatedly.

Multiple dispatch with external methods isn't a 'feature' of Julia, it is the central organizing principle that the whole language is built on. And among everyone who actually uses the language there is consensus that it is what makes it good.

Sorry to hear that you failed to implement it back in the day, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with multiple dispatch in and of itself. It's just hard to get right. But when it works, it is without doubt the best paradigm for a language that I can think of.

BTW, optional arguments are not 'absent' in Julia, they are absolutely present, and are, in fact, implemented using multiple dispatch.
There is some meta humor here about the classifier not understanding absurdism.
Windows phone had to introduce a store, operating system, and new hardware partners. The store was launched in tandem with Windows Phone and not added to the Desktop version until 2 years later. The OS and existing software base they had was irrelevant for small touch screens. The hardware partners they had weren't relevant to the mobile space and they weren't doing enough hardware development themselves to just rely on the in-staff hardware folks they had.

Eventually they tried all these things but too late. They tried rebuilding the OS to be for more than just desktops, they tried rebuilding app platforms to not be platform specific, they tried rebuilding the interface to not be use type specific. It lead to a lot of angst due to the churn and a failure in the mobile space as their competitors already had working alternatives to all of these before they even launched.

Poor leadership for sure but in waiting through all the 2000s and letting other's fill the space not because they already had everything made for them and let it fall apart.

Xbox is one area that has seemed to really pan out for them which got all of these changes over time but again they launched that in the early 2000s not the early 2010s.
Disconnect the phone number from that old account and allow him to create a new account using the phone number.

If I cancel my phone service, and someone else later ends up with my phone number, does it make sense that that person can never use Uber with their new phone?

Phone numbers are less transitory than street addresses, but much more so than email addresses. You should expect some amount of re-use, and need to be able to handle that situation.

I'll be honest.

I don't believe I have the capacity to reliably preserve, in a secure location, recovery codes from dozens of different services over many years.

I suspect I'm not the only one.

There is pretty much nothing else in my personal life I have to do something like this with. The closest might be my physical SSN card or birth certificate. But that's one thing to keep track of, not a new thing every week or month to add to the stash. And even those, if they get lost, there is SOME way to replace them, usually.

We are asking people to do something that is not a thing they have practice at or otherwise have to do or are any good at or have the capacity for. And then blaming them when they fail to pull it off, where you're constantly getting locked out of things and/or constantly getting hacked, probably both at once.

I understand passwords alone don't work. I don't have a solution. I'm just predicting a very painful digital future for most people.

(My own "solution" is using Authy TOTP, installing it on multiple devices, figuring I will retain working access to at least one of these configured devices, and not bothering with backup codes. I don't know how secure it really is, or TOTP is in general, but it lets me keep using services that require it, without living in fear that I'm going to lose my phone and misplace the backup codes and lose access forever).
> I don't think he has the maturity/emotional intelligence or societal vision that's needed for combatting the problems that Twitter (and social media) present to democratic societies.

I can see where you are coming from with this, and I agree with the general premise, but I think about it a bit differently.

Twitter already had a few "mature" people with "emotional intelligence or societal vision" that ran it at different points in time, and yet here we are in Twitter's current state. Clearly something isn't working.

There is a non-zero possibility that someone like Elon (who is very unlike those previous people who ran twitter) might be exactly the right kind of a person to address the ailments of twitter and course-correct it. He could also fail miserably at it, but I think it is definitely worth a shot to find out.

The main problem is that data is transferred out of EU, it is simply not acceptable for a EU company regardless of any DPA (history have shown here that any such DPA would be invalid in the near future).

However some of our clients (for example in health or financial industry) would be concerned that data is proxied through a third-party, doesn't matter if it is encrypted (also it's unclear to me how keys etc are managed and what data Cloudflare can access).

btw: Render looks awesome but at the current offering is it not an option for us.
Since when is TOTP obsolete?
Of course not. I'm simply saying that I'm very skeptical of the claim and would bet actual money that the opposite (or null result) was actually true.

There isn't be a need for a phone. TOTP (time based one time passwords) which Github supports is just an algorithm, you can (and many password managers have it too) run TOTP on the desktop.

Whether this is a good idea or not is up for debate, but it doesn't require a phone, or even internet technically, just an accurate (within ~1 minute) time.

On an individual level, yes, I agree. But this is against human nature - which is to compare. It requires strong mindfulness to overcome and this is not available to the general population.

This isn't "they have a BMW and I have a Corolla." The basic things are further and further out of reach.

Heat and pressure are readily available in small-format equipment.

What would make a difference are whether it is expected to start and stop operation, how much supervision it needs, and how much customization is desirable. The quoted text above cites ability to manufacture mass numbers of units, and by implication to distribute, install, and operate them with minimal attention to details.
Your basic point holds, but carrot leaves and potato peels are both perfectly edible.
No, they're perfectly compatible, you're just choosing to take an extreme interpretation of the first.

This is the classic "this is fine" response whenever someone posts this observation about declining insect populations and cleaning dead bugs off of cars.

However a tiny bit of investigation into this will lead you to realize that this hypothesis is false.

More than just being false, research has discovered that modern cars hit more insects than less aerodynamic cars [0]:

> The research included vintage cars up to 70 years old to see if their less aerodynamic shape meant they killed more bugs, but it found that modern cars actually hit slightly more insects.

So, given what research has shown us, we should expect there to be more insects observed if it were the case that insect populations remained stable while cars became more aerodynamic.

> Point being that Apple users are, on average, much wealthier and more willing to spend money in an app store, and thus much more profitable per MAU.

No the only maximally pro-thesis consequence you could speculate from data is that Apple users have on average, maximally 15% more money willing to spend.
Of course in many cases the fact they pay 50% more to apple (global 15%) does not imply that this excess money would be spent in additional app purchases, only a subset would and spending often have diminishing returns.
I would say that the average apple user has 5-8% more money to spend, and as said, in the ridiculously pro-thesis case, 15%.
Therefore the effect you're trying to show is in fact very small.
I don't understand how MacOS is constently praised for its UI while half the comments here mention a third party app just to make it usable.

I worked for a guy who had previously worked for Boeing. He was a CFD expert and he said his job at Boing was to shave off 5% of the fuel economy of a plane by using CFD simulations of the wing to refine its design.

It seems that 5% is a small number, but it's huge when your talking about one of the biggest consumers of fuel.

My point, it's easy to think about leaving aerospace to do some fancy startup with a 10 year horizon to positive impact. We also need folks working within the existing companies, working diligently to reduce our consumption methodically in real ways that make real differences in the short term. If we can shave 5% a year in efficiency for the next 10, we end up in a very different place.
I agree that that’s a crucial distinction. One can take on beliefs for tactical or strategic reasons, to increase one’s well-being or likelihood of success. But if one doesn’t adjust those beliefs in the face of contradicting evidence and/or based on Bayesian reasoning, then that’s counterproductive and harmful.
You'd also need some way to revoke keys signed by the root if a valid hardware key were lost, stolen, or confiscated.

I think Yubico will actually do something like this for large enough customers, though revocation is left as an exercise for the customer. When I worked for AWS, I was issued a couple company YubiKeys, and there was a web portal where I could revoke a token's association with my account.

_you_ don't get managed hosting from mastodon.social the site owner does (if they used a service like this). You just get an account that someone else manages the infrastructure beneath.

This gives you your own instance, which in addition to using your own domain, means you can can set the rules of the server (what kind of speech is and isn't allowed), you can boot people you don't want. You can control who gets in. you can control what other servers are blocked (i assume that is an option in pleroma too).
> Would you guess it's random, or biased?

Well, I'd guess that it's not a coin-flip at all; even a biased coin won't produce 10,000 heads and no tails, unless it's a two-headed coin.

Let's go back to the actual case in hand: suppose you provide me with "111111", and not 10,000 1s. I simply have no way at all of determining whether that is more or less likely to have come from a random source. So I would decline your bet. If it was 10,000 1s, then maybe I'd be a fool to bet it was of random origin; but you can't convince me that a string of 6 1s is or isn't of random origin. So no bet.

This is all irrelevant. We're discussing a single sequence of 6 digits. There are not enough samples to perform statistical analysis. Probability doesn't come into it.
How to protect email addresses after domain name expires?
Musk's $44B buyout of Twitter faces U.S. antitrust review -report
I'm thinking of creating a website for a friend. This includes registering a domain name and setting up a couple email addresses (myfriend@myfriend.com, etc.)

If the friend doesn't maintain the domain registration, and the domain falls into the hands of a nefarious actor, how can I protect my friends email addresses?

If I'm not mistaken, it is a common tactic to register a defunct domain name and impersonate the associated email addresses.

What can be done to avoid this?
