One of the next frontiers as a barrier to browser switching will be "software"-backed WebAuthn/FIDO2/"passkeys".

If you look at the APIs available on MacOS/iOS at present [0], and how WebAuthn works, you need to "trust" the client-side software to correctly identify the site origin (i.e. protocol, domain, port) and pass it to a physical security key. In the case of a software token, you need to restrict which app(s) can pass this information through to the system carrying out authentication.

The end result right now, as I can see it, is that if you sign up to a website using a "passkey" via Safari (for example), there is no real supported workflow that isn't site-specific, for migrating to a new browser - you are effectively beholden to Apple's keychain for getting you back into that site.

If you want to enrol a new device (say an Android phone using its own software implementation of WebAuthn), you would need to find a way to sign into your old account (which requires your MacOS/iOS passkey to log in), then enrol your Android device (which is a separate physical device). You'll likely get stuck here.

An expert user could add a physical FIDO2 token to their account from the old device (Safari), and use that as the authenticator to log in on the new device, but this is significant friction for a non-technical user.

While moving users away from passwords might make sense, I do think we'll see these "passwordless" authentication mechanisms become the next major point of friction in user browser choice. Even if you can implement WebAuthn in your rival browser, unless you get access to the system key store, you won't be able to let users sign in. That will prevent them switching.

The most recent W11 update turned on hypervisor on my machine, which I had off to be able to use Bluestacks 5. That config being on/off probably does not make that much money - yet Msoft decided to mess with my settings (not the first time this has happened in W11 and, were I to bet, not the last time either).

Why wouldn't Msoft NOT force Edge as the default browser; a company could fill their coffers hugely if they had a lot of browser market share.
The same I heard about sendmail and its configs :).

For data storage, yes. But most spreadsheet programs (Google sheets, excel, numbers) also allow you to have dynamic data through the use of formulas, using built in functions or straight code of some variety.

The extra functionality is why you hear horror stories of entire multi-million dollar companies runnning their entire logistics pipeline through a single Excel “spreadsheet” and the accompanying brown pants moment of deleting the master doc and not the working (altered) copy.

Without commenting on the claims, it's interesting to consider how times have changed. Microsoft originally lost an antitrust lawsuit [1] over little more than tying Internet Explorer into their OS and not readily including alternatives. They not only lost that case, but the initial judgement was that the company was to be broken up.

Microsoft started spending dramatically more money on "lobbying" following that.

Regions have their own culinary cultures, so someone growing up on the East Coast might hardly be exposed to sourdough the way someone in SF might. If you're not used to a cuisine or a certain food or flavor profile, it may be kind of a shock to you when you try it.

Granted, you can easily get sourdough on the East Coast, but it's not as ingrained as a part of it's culture as it is in SF.
Switch can't run Doom "just fine", it downscales down to 360p frequently and chogs between 20-30fps. It's barely playable. Mind you, Doom is one of the better optimized games of this gen. And running it sub~60fps on with all settings turned down to ultra low is a sin.

Factorio is pretty well optimized too, however the factory size Switch can handle are on the - can launch the rocket - scale.
This is but a small fraction of the factory size people end up building
A bit off-topic, but I'm amazed at how well linux handles large numbers of threads. I have a program that runs bots against each other playing the game of go, where each go-bot plays every other go-bot one hundred times, which is highly cpu intensive. I launch one go-bot at a time which is battling every other go-bot it hasn't already played against, often with close to 900 threads running go-bot battles at once. I have six cores with two hyper-threads each and all of them are pegged at 100% usage for hours on end by this program. The processes are running at normal priority, i.e. not changed via "nice".

When I first tried this, I was prepared to hard-boot since I was almost sure it would make my desktop unusable, but it didn't. I can even play some fairly cpu- and gpu-intensive games without too many hiccups while this is going on. If I wasn't paying attention, I probably wouldn't know they were running.

Yes, this retargeting is 'expected' and is not surprising. This is completely different from what OP is describing.

Early internet had little to none of that world order. Those corporations are slow to act and tend to be last to the party.

I think you're conflating people from that world order and how they interpreted the internet, with how the internet actually was.

User generated content was a large majority of the content of the early internet. Usenet. MUDs. Email. Forums. Random people's university websites.

>And yet when you ask customers whether they want more features, or a faster program it's invariably features. Fix a bug or add a feature? Add a feature. Improve perf or add a feature? Add a feature.

Of course this is what they want. To the user, the damn thing should have been working when you released it. To the user, you shouldn't have to ask to have something that's broken but is meant to be a feature to be fixed. If it's not working, why is it there in the first place. Fix it. Duh. But also add new features before your competitor does and takes your users. This is such a weird excuse on discussions about a progress bar.

"JIRA bankruptcy", is what I've heard it called. It's an idiotic way to sweep problems that still exist under the run. I have no idea why its so hard for suits to just ignore a list of bugs that isn't even intended for them in the first place.

… I also had to fight (and mostly lost) the argument that "time to page getting resolved" was not meaningful. People would be chastised for having pages open too long. But, then, e.g., one page was because the underlying problem was real, and it was a problem in our cloud provider — one that our cloud provider couldn't fix. (They wanted us to just abandon the instance of that service we had, and migrate everything out of it. Problem was is that that was difficult, and expensive. Several months of work. We ended up having to do it. But that destroys a Goodhart "mean time to resolve" metric.) But people can process "you have to look at it on a case by case basis, and see if there was a good reason for it", as, Christ, that requires thinking!

There was also metrics around hitting SLO, and the SLO was bananas. In theory, we were supposed to do a post-mortem if we missed the SLO. But the SLO got missed so often that, in reality, nobody did the PMs. (And in fact, it effectively killed the culture of "writing PMs" that had existed… and now problems don't really get addressed.)

… and I agree about the managers/PMs. When engineering has no authority, the resulting crap isn't surprising.
It is easy to say that while sitting under the umbrella of their service, having never done even the smallest aspect of the job. The hostility towards uniform services in 2020 are paying dividends today. This is what was ordered and you get exactly what you paid for.

Not wanting to do the job. On the contrary, they want to do the job, that's why they become LEO in the first place. The problem is that leadership won't let them do the job, tying their hands and undoing the work they do (by releasing known violent criminals and other predators)

Add in the talent-drain and it gets even worse. Why would a 20 year man stay on for 5 more years to train the new guard when it is just easier to retire now and not deal with activist leadership, people spitting on you, and DAs who let your collars (the one that almost got you stabbed) walk in a few hours?

I can imagine you haven't been involved in anything illegal, but I'm sure you've aware of Meta's documented track record of coordinated illegal actions. Do engineering teams just fall head first into a bucket of 2FA phone numbers and start using the data for ad targeting, and nobody bats an eye from the legal department to product managers? Or are they hypnotized to build services for biometric data collection without consent? Nobody does anything nefarious, but their collective actions which benefit the company just end up being illegal, again and again?

The tech companies you work for do often engage in illegal activities, and some of your collegues are complicit. I'm sure it is an uncomfortable thought for some of you, but this is all part of the public record.

> then there is zero point to actually arresting them if the cop is going to see them on the street again in 4 hours doing the same shit again.

the "point" would be in part:

1. Actually doing their job. No one can blame police if the DA or a lawyer or a judge fucks up and a "bad guy" walks. We can/will blame them if they refuse to do the job they are paid for.

2. It gets a "bad guy" off the street for 4+ hours. That's 4+ hours where the people police are supposed to be protecting don't have to worry about the criminal.

3. Keeping the record. Even assuming a terrible DA is letting everyone police arrest go free, someday a non-terrible DA is going to come into office and when a case file hits their desk they're going to want to know if the person arrested has been arrested one time or 20 times over the last x number of years. They're going to want to review reports and evidence from those incidents as well.

I teach an introduction to computer security course where I show my students how to write some basic rootkits for Linux. I need them to be able do that on the computer room machines (where they aren't root not sudoers), or on their own computer, but in both case I prefer if it doesn't cause a kernel panic if their code is wrong at some point.

As far as I know you cannot load kernel modules in a container. You need an actual VM for that.
There was recently a post about the amount of fraud that is acceptable for payment processors. For example in that case, a certain amount of fraud is acceptable because without it the payment procedures would never be at the exact equilibrium between discomfort and fraud percentage.

In such a scenario we try to enforce so KYC so much that we competely disregard the good that lack of KYC could do for us. What if this is drug money being used for actual good things? In some ways you couod say that the system is working: sometimes ignoring the law brings good to the society.

I am bringing here the same argument that would be used towards never prosecuting people for crimes that were discovered when someone has already reported a crime: i.e. if someone submits a DNA sample due to being raped can not be prosecuted for petty crime that was discovered due to it as that would make people in that situation do even more crime.
Why would the "victim" care (or even find out about) this "attack"? My understanding is that because eth is fungible, it would poison an existing wallet with funds in it. I.e. if you have $5 in coins, and I give you $5 more in stolen coins, your entire coinpurse is essentially tainted. Your example would just be giving somebody a tainted wallet. Worst case scenario, you cycle your keys.
How so? Some of the "enable_if"s can probably be replaced with "requires" syntax, as well as the "conjunction_v"s and "disjunction_v"s, but the majority of the complexity seems to be in expressing the various requirements imposed by the Standard. Are there recently-added concepts (or other features) that would express them more naturally?

As an old-school video editor who learned editing on analog VTRs (tape machines) and progressed to digital non-linear editing, I think the time saving potential of AI-assisted audio editing is substantial.

I still think it will be a while before AI is ready to create more than a first draft edit but if it handles 95% of the easy cases that's still a huge time-saving - especially on long-form projects. I spent so, so many hours of soul-sucking, rote drudgery doing things like manual audio ducking back in the day.

Part time remote work is available anecdotally.

Statistically, it doesn’t exist.

Which is to say that only a tiny sliver of jobs are part time remote and generally, they only exist because of an established relationship between a particular employee and a particular employer.

Basically, the employer creates a part time remote position for someone they know.

Open call part time remote work looks like Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Again, anecdotally this isn’t always the case. But statistically it is probably >99.99%.

So relationships are the most likely way to find such work.

Good luck.

There are gigantic corporations that are much more regulated than Google in Europe and they are able to run scrappy global operations.

The line of when it's ready to be used is not clear and I think it has been pushed forward such that the user increasingly becomes the tester. This is unacceptable in hardware products, imagine if kitchen appliances were sold with issues, and you had to take it back to the store for fixes and updates. Unfortunately, users don't know any better, and I think that's why so much of the industry gets away with serving them a bad user experience that is bad because in essence you are testing it.
