Cogent point. I've worked with outsourced and offshore teams quite a bit.

The attempt to arbitrage lower wages based on geography for highly skilled roles has almost invariably, over any meaningful length of time, run up against increased organizational costs and managerial overhead for all kinds of reasons. You name it.

My general impression is that it tends to work out as a "Rob Peter to pay Paul" kind of scenario - a wash or a net negative.

There are always stories where, when everything went really well for everyone involved, it worked out as an advantage, but those - in my view - are the exception to the rule.
That would be the "potential" part, but I don't think the supply chain problems are limited to the Raspberry Pi.

> Try explaining a password manager to your nana

It's an interesting issue, and wildly varies depending on who manages her devices. For instance if she has an iPhone with a windows computer, a third party manager brings uniformity to how she deals with login on any device she happens to use. Same if she happens to use a Chromebook.

Or even if she uses an older Apple device, I'm assuming passkeys won't come to previous OSes, and upgrading a 2018 MBP just to get passkeys would come with a lot of trade-offs.

Perhaps I'm seeing it as, it's already a complex mess already, and Apple didn't come with a silver buller to solve all that complexity in one swoop.

PS: password managers are fairly straightforward to explain: it's a digital equivalent of the password notebook they keep in the side drawer
It's a relatively recent feature, at least the "pure" implementation (what they had before was, essentially, a self-extracting binary), so it's still gaining popularity. But seems to be fairly common with containers.

Never lose that spirit. Buy, run, and maintain what works for you.

I also have a machine from 2007 in regular service, though in a secondary role (file server, etc.), but my daily driver isn't that much newer (2013, still a rust drive). Both machines have generated and continue to generate plenty of productivity and revenue.

I find that a little overbuilding in the right areas, like choosing a first-gen quad core in 2007 (often considered overkill on forums at the time), will greatly help the chances of you creating something that will last.

It's important not to hoard, but there's tremendous value in finding and maintaining quality. The advantage of old things is that you can point survivorship bias in your favor. Buying new, but very selectively with an eye towards 20-100y duty cycles (and maintaining them, like you're doing!) greatly helps in the same way.
I’ll have to try that. Wish there was a way without an external display. I’d like this on my phone, too.

I recently bought an M1 Air and I miss the magsafe charger. I really don't understand why they try to move away from it. A reliable working solution to a problem.
The flipside of this story is: if you're buying a new machine, get rid of the old one! The sooner the better, both for you (if you can get some money for it) and for the environment (the newer your machine is when you get rid of it, the more likely it is to prevent someone else from buying a new one).
Oh, not sure what he meant exactly, but when I used to work soldering boards we used an oven to recover older boards. Basically with a little bit of heat all broken up parts can heal with it. Found this result on YouTube:

Not entirely. If I MITM your connection to a website that uses a password, I have access until the breach is detected. If I MITM a public/private key log in, I only have access to the session (which can be made arbitrarily short if logging in is painless/automatic).
No, you could focus on the applications of those rules, of which there are more in day to day life. If I see a car's speedometer moving, I don't need to be able to figure out how long it would take to travel a certain distance. But dealing with infrequent events in a smarter way? Super useful.

Teach it the way you suggest and it would just be another useless math class that people would tune out of instead of grounding it in their everyday life experiences.

("Deriving from first principles" isn't the interesting stuff about calculus, either. And we're not requiring quantum physics to derive gravity from first principles in high school...)
From their perspective, that distinction is meaningless.

That was the point of my original comment. We will get no where towards anything sustainable if we keep allowing these lies/PR without calling it out. Unless Apple admits how much of a problem their devices are for the environment then sustainability it is just greenwashing. Unless we realize that capitalism is antithetical to human existence then humanity is over as we know it and all your kids will suffer immeasurably.

Apple and all these companies show no be allowed to use this BS carbon trading. They should be taxed directly for the cost of externalities on the price of the product. It would be so prohibitively expensive very few people could afford it. The profit these companies make is because they are not charging anyone the true cost.

We can put things back into the box. We just do not want to.

You know what my PR would say?

I have a 2013 machine (dell latitude, 8GB, Intel i5 I think) that I still use and for most things I don't see a material difference vs my newer machines. The major difference is the form factor, the 2013 machine is a big brick, a newer xps or my macbook is way lighter and more portable, if that matters to you.

> if you post something on TikTok and it's good, people will see it, and so that obviously creates a much stronger motivation to produce rather than to consume.

You took one part of my comment and missed all the other, more important parts where we were discussing about a platform people can have "closer" conversations.

My whole argument about the Fediverse is that (most) people are not looking for extrinsic motivation to produce. I've seen very little people worrying about "going viral" and like I said the systems are mostly designed to discourage these things. Having someone "posting a lot" will quickly be seen as a nuisance and people will stop following them, or get outright blocked.
Funny how some things stayed the same for decades. In junior high or high school, the kids who had Apples were often pompous douches who didn't know anything about computers, but loved to spout off about how Apples were best. Kids who had Ataris actually programmed and could talk about computers technically, and mocked Apples for being double the price while not even offering lower-case letters... let alone any sound or graphics capability to speak of.

Apple has always known its audience, huh?

Should be "proprogram", but that sounds stupid. Perhaps "hyperprogram"?

However, programmers seem to have a tendency to represent things the other way round, or even up-side-down: trees.
I'd be fine with the bottom of the screen being touch sensitive or something, specifically where it wouldn't align with the keyboard, but they can't even get their anti-glare coating to not erode permanently when you get some finder grease on it. Not optimistic that a touchscreen would be done very well on macbooks.

May I suggest that before looking down on others like this, it is wise to make sure you've been careful when reading the thing?

The article contains no such claim. Most likely, you are mixing up Töregene and Börte.
To echo the sibling commenter, perhaps this rule applies:

When dealing with hardware, hardware access tokens should be required.
When dealing with software, software access tokens should be required.

That way, you never have hardware compromised by remote tokens, and you never lose access to your software because you lost some hardware.

E.g., hardware tokens to login to a laptop, but only a software token (password) to get on a flight.

Of course there are a lot of use-cases inbetween with varying needs (escrow boxes with digital locks, intelligence services who need to verify the identity of their agents when entering/exiting premises), but I posit those come with requirements outside of the "ordinary".
It is all moot, because waste or no waste, no new nuke can ever produce commercially competitive power. Even just operating an existing, paid-for nuke, neglecting disaster-insurance subsidy they all get and decommissioning cost along with capital cost, is becoming uncompetitive.

Drawn-out discussion of consequences of things we will not do in any case is a waste of time.
> rebase can be undone, precisely because it does not write over the old history

Good point. Perhaps "rewrite history" is not the best metaphor, and does not cover all possible git workflows. I only considered the workflows where a rebased branch is merged back onto master instead of its non-rebased variant, which loses its name, its remote copy/copies and is eventually hit by the GC.

> the very idea that rewriting history is bad, came from the Fossil team in an attempt to convince people to try Fossil and cast shade on git.

The resistance I've met among developers to adopt rebasing workflows with git have no knowledge of Fossil.

My impression is that the main objection to such workflows is that it exceeds some developers' novelty budget [0] and that those developers generally don't read git messages and don't value the history of code to understand its current shape.

I can't recall the last time I threw away a computer. Either I've repurposed or fixed my devices over the years, as you have. A few examples:

- When my partner replaced their desktop, I rebuilt the old one into a NAS. I had to get new hard drives and a SATA port card to make that one work.

- Current main computer is a desktop that I helped my friend build, which I bought back from him in 2013 or 2014 after he upgraded. I've had to replace the power supply and the graphics card; currently it has an RX 580 from 2017.

- Picked up most of my networking gear from my previous job as an IT consultant, including an HP JE008A switch and an old Sonicwall TZ210.

I've also got the IT pack-rat shelf full of equipment that I "might use someday" - a stack of Chromebooks, network switches, graphics cards, various bits and pieces.

The last piece of kit I actually spent real money on was an refurbished Dell R720, which I'm currently using as my VM server. I've added more RAM and drive space to it as I've needed.

Toxicity in Engineering
Importing keys into an HSM/key storage device is not an uncommon exercise.

If you're asking about the structure of the bits you'd need to move into the device in a verifiable way, there are standard APIs like PKCS #11 for interacting with HSMs.

You would then need a computer and a PKCS #11 client application. If you don't have a computer you can trust to pass keyboard inputs to a USB port without being intercepted, you've got problems that a yubikey will not solve.
Agreed on the smaller businesses - I love that aspect and always wondered if a faked version of that in NYC or something (subdivide a typical restaurant space into a number of 6-10 seater counter bars like you'd find in Japan) would take off.
You don't want notifications for your communication services? (Zoom, Meet, Slack, Teams, Discord, Messenger, etc...)

Why not? I only have three reasons coming to my mind, and each of them have a nullifying factor:

1. You're already getting the same notifications from the app of the same communication service you have installed. But then why are you viewing the web version of the service?

2. There is at least one channel/room/whatever that has too much noise and would send a lot of notifications. But each of those services has a way to mute notifications per channel/room/whatever.

3. You don't want to be notified between certain times. But isn't that what the do not disturb mode on your device is for? You put in the times you don't want to be notified and it's done.

As for "those news ones as well", I've only been asked if I wanted notifications per each news site once and never again since. I'm assuming you might be visiting a news site that's more spammy, but in that case, they're probably not a news source you really want to be following anyway.

Companies always solve their own problems first. Apple uses WebEx, which is probably the most piggy of the videoconferencing solutions that I use in terms of cpu and memory.
I’m not saying anyone would do that intentionally. But I think it’s well established that most people’s reaction to modals is to close them and get back to what they are doing rather than read and consider them.

After that, iOS users are sometimes prompted to enter their passcode on an unlocked device for things like updates. A user who doesn’t understand their phone (very common) or is distracted and has something they’re trying to do (basically everyone) could easily say “whatever, yes, trust this charger” then “ugh again!? Here’s my passcode” without even thinking about it.

Of the 9 family members I’m thinking of who use iPhones: 3 know enough not to do that, 4 know that “Don’t Trust” is probably the right answer but could be caught if they weren’t thinking about it, 2 would have no idea and it’s 50/50 which button they hit.

The passcode would never stop either of the last 2.
The micropayments use case was highlighted in the Brave Browser's whitepaper:

https://basicattentiontoken.org/static-assets/documents/Basi...

I will admit that this venture has user-related problems, in that similar to ads on a website, it relies on an honest userbase that's willing to give/pay BAT to the creator of the website's content.

The infrastructure for such a system is still not fully developed, but it is technically possible to do so right now by minting an article-exclusive NFT in response to a user's micropayment, and then using SIWE (sign-in with Ethereum) to link a session with said address that has paid for the article. In order to facilitate cheap transactions, it'll have to be performed on a rollup like Arbitrum or Optimism, or on a sidechain like Polygon PoS.

It does still suffer from the archive.is problem where a cached version of the unlocked article can be shown to everyone else, but such an endeavor will have to be funded out of pocket and is orders of magnitude more expensive than current archive.is bypasses.

I lived 10 minutes from Shinjuku 2 minutes from a station and 5 mins from another, surrounded by a popular shopping and dining street with 4-5 supermarkets and lots of greengrocers to buy food from, for $550/mo, together with my wife in a super bright and pleasant, but very compact (23 m2) 1 bedroom apartment (not a studio). Loved that place, and can't imagine rent like that near any US city.

The only place I've been to in Korea was Busan, but I found it beautiful. There was a gorgeous temple on a rocky cliff (Haedong Yonggungsa), a vibrant neighborhood of colorful houses (Gamcheon-dong), lots of nice parks, and a great beach area.

Seoul real estate prices are through the roof right now because of a heavily speculative market and shaky regulations though. A 100m2 in an apartment complex in the out-of-center parts of Seoul will cost you roughly 1 billion Won (1 million dollars).
But it still falls down so quickly that the smart money is on actually paying attention to the Devil (the details).

In its own constructed universe, orders of complexity doesn't obey basic physics. Imagine I'm trying to sort a billion unique books alphabetically by content. In order for the books to be unique, m > logn. For many big problems logn < m < sqrt(n) but for a lot of the rest n < m on day one, and stays that way for quite some time. For large objects, an algorithm that avoids comparisons can be faster with real data even if its complexity is n(logn)^2.

Where we fuck up is pretending that mathematical operations are O(1) when they are O(logn) on a good day and O(n) on a bad one. + and - are constant if the numbers fit into a single integer. [] is only constant for n < L1 cache size, and even then only if no other tasks are happening. And as I've just described, < and == are not constant time either. We need better math for these sorts of things.
You can believe both. The salesperson and dealer don't necessarily have the same desires.
I tried clubhouse and I remember when I lost interest.

I had joined a room full of people discussing cryptocurrencies (more than 500 people). I mistakingly thought it was an open forum to discuss the technology.

After being picked to ask a question, I asked the “thought leaders” of the group whether or not the technology itself made sense, or you could just utilize a singular (centralized) database to solve some of the problems some currencies are proposing to solve. Also the fact that computational power is wasted on hashing.

I was instantly called a “shill”, creating “FUD.”

In fact I didn’t even get to finish to finish my question and I was muted and called a “motherfucker.”

Yea.

I have no respect for that app anymore.
Co-chair of the QUIC WG here. Early in the process, we decided it was important that HTTP/3 provide parity with HTTP/2. That helps application developers to migrate back and forth between versions with less friction. So we include features of bidirectional stream multiplexing, request/response stream cancellation, server push, header compression, and graceful connection closure.

Some of those are more optional than others i.e. Server Push. Whether implementations choose to support a feature or not, at least the IETF maintain the close parity at the protocol level.

Stream prioritization is a different matter. That was very tricky in HTTP/3 [1], and through the process we designed Extensible Priorities, which is simpler and works over both H2 and H3. That was published today also as RFC 9218[2].
