1. You are not reading those numbers right!

2. Shoelace has far fewer dependencies than Ring.

Let us see,

Shoelace: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@shoelace-style/shoelace?activ...

7 user dependencies

46 dev dependencies

VS

Ring: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jetbrains/ring-ui?activeTab=d...

60 user dependencies o____O

100 dev dependencies o__O

Also the person building Shoelace has consistently been an early adopter of best practices/standards.

I believe a single person with taste and knowledge can build better components than yet another team chasing after latest 'trends' under time pressure.
But the entire point of Wikipedia is that there is no possible way a traditional gatekeeping expert encyclopedia could be as current or encompassing as a crowd sourced version. Maybe that would be the ideal best solution, but let's not have it stand in the way of progress to a better reality
The hypothetical I gave was meant to extent the previous one. My personal take on it is that it's not so much a door to someone else's property as a locked box mailed to you along with a key, and instructions that say you have to put the DVD back in the box as soon as you're done watching, and after a week you have to throw away the key.
Supplying the building blocks is how you're able to compose them into something different.

If all the UI libraries just gave you highly abstracted prebuilt components with little to no customisability, then you wouldn't use them. Because as soon as you want to do something different, you'd have to write your own or find someone else's.

Venmo doesn't offer 2fa with an authenticator app. Only text message 2fa. Leaves you open to sim swap attacks, which are common and the carriers are doing nothing to prevent.

I think it's more likely this grew from a single developer who knew what he's doing, to a small team, organically over time as they expanded.

The competitive advantage is that it's bespoke and designed exactly for their own needs. It also provides a look+feel that is distinct from the typical Material UI fork, which could be considered a savvy move.

I'm curious about your experience as I had a similar impression before dealing with disputes on a large scale, but since actually fighting them with detailed evidence have won ~80% of them. This is true of order not received, claiming the entire transaction was fraudulent etc. With that being said my business is a digital service so that may be the reason for our different experiences.

What kind of dispute claims do most of your customers make, and what kind of evidence do you provide besides USPS tracking?

Even a tiny local credit union is great if they're part of the co-op.

The vast majority of credit unions in the U.S. are, and you can use any co-op branch or ATMs just like your home credit union's branches or ATMs.

It's brilliant, and in my experience, so much more accessible than the giant banks who are often regionally concentrated.
Why would Chad Loder take advantage of them? Yes, it gives him the ability to, but that doesn't mean he will.

Why have security? So some random, untrusted person can't compromise the account. If Chad holds the codes, then only he can compromise the account, and maybe their relationships are good enough that they would trust him.

Using a different email provider also works, but I assumed there would be some reason that doesn't work - android effectively has a built in gmail client, non-tech people might just autocomplete "@gmail.com" and mess up someone's address if it is a non-expected domain, etc.

Two things for you.

First, I fully agree with everything you said. It wasnt the best use of money, but these people fail to grasp what it takes to build a system integrated with the government. Dealing with any large org requires a lot of back and forth with contracts, legal, etc and the government is worse as they have entire organizations which seem to be created specifically to slow things down.

Second, your points are most likely falling on deaf ears. All they see is "simple CRUD app costs $54M" and can never see past this, have next to zero experience dealign with large orgs or their complexity, requirements, etc.
Exactly, as systems get more secure, indirect/third-party fraud decreases and direct fraud becomes caught more.

How many people "chargeback" porn that they actually paid for because they got "caught"? As systems get better and better at preventing fraud, those chargebacks become harder and harder to believe.
Doesnt matter, if you cant keep the pace they’ll pip or underperform you and then throw you out.

> So what kind of 2FA would be homeless-proof?

Almost certainly is a bad idea. But the first thing that seems like it could work would be an implantable nfc yubikey. Then making more devices support nfc.

I know I would be pretty tempted to get an implantable 2FA device if one was available and seemed like it would have both broad and long term support.
I would argue that a system claiming to have recourse that doesn't actually work (taking this article for its word), is slightly worse than a system without recourse that explicitly states there is not recourse. People will be much more reckless and thus likely to be victims of fraud if they are told fraud is reversible.
umm you DO know that Gmail isn't only free email, right? Like, just use another one which doesn't force 2FA. Why is this become an issue? I don't get it
How hard is it to get connected to other instances? Is this done through personal relationships or prior history or can a complete outsider get involved? I know exactly zero people using Mastodon (that I'm aware of) but this sounds interesting and makes me want to try to set something up.
Adversarially Trained Physics-Based Character Animations
A "1.44 MB floppy" has that capacity for files when formatted with the FAT file system from MS-DOS. The unformatted capacity is actually closer to 2 MB but a proper file system has disk-space overhead for metadata and check sums.

You could have a file system with much less disk-space overhead than FAT, and there are many out there. A demo disk would typically be read-only, and in particular there are some read-only file-systems that are really space-optimised,

Another option would be to treat the disk sectors as a single compressed file which the bootloader decompresses into a RAM-disk image which the OS then boots from, but that would require a bit more than 2 MB of RAM.

I did some more research. It looks like there is a way to recover if you don't have the phone number or the old device. They have an online form you fill out with your old phone number and new phone number. Then they have some process to verify ownership of the phone numbers which they say will take several days for security purposes.

RBC allows use of their mobile app as 2FA. I don't believe it uses SMS under the hood.

I'm not arguing it's necessarily more secure. I haven't audited it or looked into how it works.
I’m probably happy to provide that information but I want to know when that happens, and not by fine print in “terms” somewhere.

I recently read "The Spy and the Traitor" which was an excellent book all about Gordievsky, who is the UK-recruited KGB agent that alerted the US to the risk.

Although the book is a great read and makes Gordievsky out to be a hero, I couldn't help but notice that (1) most of the intelligence Gordievsky passed to the US was beneficial to both sides, as in this Able Archer example, and (2) that it was mysterious how lucky Gordievsky was to escape (UK agents were somehow able to drive him out of Moscow, after he was under suspicion by the KGB and had repeatedly been interrogated using drugs, which also mysteriously "didn't work"!) There is even a section in the book where another KGB agent "defects" to the West just long enough to give Gordievsky credibility, then "re-defects" back to the Soviet Union (with apparently no negative consequences.)

Anyway, I'm sure there's nothing to it, maybe it's just a case of a true story that seems too good to be true. But if it was an operation, I'm glad it saved us from repeating messes like this one.
Storybook is not supposed to be used on mobile, it's a desktop optimized UI.

Yeah, sure.
Yep. I'd explicitly never work at a place that implemented SAFE. Reading this article felt like someone describing the process at a previous employer. Just nailed it with all planning right at the intersection of useless, time consuming, and painful.

The potential is there for sure, but the company believed in giving customers the tools to ensure that PII was not recorded, including go as far as giving internal engineers tools required to scrub data permanently that was accidentally recorded.

I no longer work at FullStory, but I believe very strongly that the culture of privacy still exists.

Senior individuals at FS, myself obviously included, felt very strongly that we wanted to avoid any of the creepiness factor, and it was important to us that we felt comfortable with the technology. Discussions on privacy were paramount in all designs.

Having seen a bit of the inside: Local credit unions are generally pure trash at security. Hell, a local one had an internal meltdown from the HR person looking up prior employee's personal account to harass them with a LIST OF THEIR PERSONAL PURCHASES. (WTAF)
You can mention it in a lawsuit, doesn’t mean it is a violation of the law.
I've never encountered this before, so I hope you don't mind me asking some questions.

1) What constitutes a "digital memory"? I can imagine images, videos, notes, etc. that you've taken, but I don't know if that's all that you mean. (Google saving your location history is "memory" but maybe not "yours".)

2) What does it mean to you that they're "stored perfectly"? Is that just that they're stored at all or are you suggesting some rigor to their storage security such that they can't be modified easily by someone other than you?
Authy doesn't store your codes. They store encrypted copies. They are encrypted on your device and only decrypted with your password which does not leave your device. As long as their encryption is not broken your codes are secure.
Disputes are absolutely not a farce. I'd probably stop online shopping/booking entirely if my CC company didn't exist as an intermediary when things inevitably went south.
Locked out of two Microsoft accounts
I have two Microsoft accounts that I haven't touched in a decade. Recently I had to access one of them, I still know the password and the recovery question answer. But since it's been so long, they force me to prove my identity by telling them email subjects from ten years ago. I tried three times and failed. The documentation makes it very clear that there are no other official way to authenticate me.

I need to access the email because it is still linked to my twitter account and it was hacked recently. I want to reset the password on twitter but they only allow me to ask them from the initial address linked to that account.

Has anyone been in this situation ? Is there some way to fix this ? I don't have any contact in Microsoft but they have an office in my city. I tried looking on LinkedIn for community managers but a quick search led profile that I can't contact without paying for LinkedIn premium.

Thank you, any help is well appreciated.
It's been interesting to learn about the reasoning (or post-facto explanations) of that seemingly anomalous major 3rd gap. I can see its advantages, like it enables certain barre chords.

Apparently, the tuning invented by Robert Fripp is called "New standard tuning", based on all fifths. I like the audacity to call it a new standard. :)

This is the biggest un-addressed problem, IMO. Getting more scientific computing done in the cloud is where we are inevitably trending, but no-one yet has a good answer for completely ad-hoc, low value experimentation and skill building in cloud. I see universities needing to maintain clusters to allow PhDs and postdocs to develop their computing skills for a good while yet.

Look for z/OS ADCD on torrent sites, older (no longer supported) z/OS versions are sometimes out there. The DASD images can be easily configured and IPLed in Hercules.

More modern version (the one that come with zPDT emulator package) cannot be pirated anymore.

I wish IBM at least made the no longer supported z/OS versions legal. No sane company would dare to run their mainframe stuff without IBM support, anyway. I think they are really shooting themselves to the foot, but hey, no executive today thinks long-term.
Having set up OpenVPN a few times, and troubleshooting Cisco VPN, the new thing unique to Tailscale is that it just works.

It takes a few seconds to connect each new machine. It took me way more just to find out how I should configure Cisco's VPN client, and I do not ever want to even think about OpenVPN again.

I've also maintained a WireGuard mesh where I distributed keys and set up /etc/hosts via ansible: add a host to the inventory file, run the playbook - simple.

Yet Tailscale is even simpler than that. And (for my purposes at least) it's free.

(I work at Notion)

We're very aware of the legacy of Lotus Notes. There are similar concepts between Notion and Lotus Notes - especially v1-v3 of Notes that were focused on end-user programmability, before the "design" menu was removed and Notes pivoted towards a "Rapid Application Development". However, there's numerous substantial differences in our strategy and execution.

For example, we host the Notion backend, avoiding a lot of the agility issues Notes had. We also aren't an email service.
I have used trackpad support recently. It is indeed better than it was a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, it was so awful that substantially improved doesn't mean good. I still find it to be mostly unusable. When testing recent distros with recent desktop environment running either atop X11 or wayland I have had to repeatedly perform gestures because they aren't recognized and frequently gestures just stop working period. Trackpad gestures work without issue on the same hardware when running Windows.
Being limited to highly abstracted libraries leads to worse UI because you have to shoehorn your app into the limited set of forms the library allows you to express.

If you just want some boilerplate UI in a hurry, this is fine (it’s actually better) but it sets an upper bound for how good the UI can ever be and that’s a problem for serious professionals.

Of course most UI is horrible but that’s true no matter what framework you give them. There’s always somebody using checkboxes as radio buttons.
I'll accept the downvotes, but I don't feel like optimizing for the subset of homeless people who regularly lose their phones and their recovery codes is a good use of resources. I'd change my mind if someone could cite reliable sources that say this is actually a large community that Google as a corporation should really be paying more attention to, but just this one guy on Twitter is not enough for me.

Afaik zdf.de (Mediathek) videos are not accessible outside Germany. There's no subtitles or additional webpage so I'll be hard to start a meaningful discussion.

Huh? As long as you don't participate in a scam and use basic security, what are you worried about?

I have no idea what you mean about the services being fragile or how your "entire bank account" would be wiped out.

This article is talking almost entirely about scams. Presumably you're smart enough not to send your whole bank account's contents to a random person who calls you.

And if you're not, well, it doesn't really matter if you're being scammed via Zelle/Venmo, or via paper check, or via wire transfer, or via ACH.
This was an excellent read. I worked at a company that did almost all of these. An absolute fanatical focus on velocity to the exclusion of everything else coupled with complete disconnect between story points and the time to actually implement the ticket. Total and complete failure to deliver almost every sprint. Every developer had to deliver a minimum of 10 points a week. Each sprint was 1 week. If you did not deliver 10 points you were written up. Jr. or Sr. and the points were estimated by the Sr. Devs. So the only way for a Jr. to hit their 10 points was to work 70 hours for months and years on end.

I left a couple years ago but when I left the system was absolute garbage and every week leadership was astounded that progress was not being made while only focusing on the number of points closed. Company is publicly traded and will potentially go out of business in 6 months. I was written up at the start of covid for hitting 8 points 2 weeks in a row. Right when everything shut down, schools closed etc.

When I quit, every Sr. engineer left within 6 months, ~50% of the engineering staff.
