For _using_ WebAuthn, Linux without a TPM has the option of using a hardware key like a Yubikey or Nitrokey, or a virtual authenticator like what 1Password proposes here: https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/

For _syncing_ WebAuthn passkeys, then virtual authenticators that sync over the wire like 1Password above is the only option. Using virtual authenticators means that your key material is in-memory alongside the OS and all running apps. That's why it's so critical that OSs expose pluggable sync fabrics; so that vendors like 1Password, or even YubiCo, can implement sync fabrics that roam through whatever hardware the current platform happens to have available.

You can only trust the nodes that you control. That's not what I'd call a decentralized system.
This is somewhat silly, though. Prevalent conventions are followed by the majority by definition. Such that most of your experience will be with those conventions. Again, by definition of it being prevalent.

I grant that conformity does signal education of the norms. Which can be seen as signaling effort. But I expect it to be so noisy that it will have little predictive power.

fwiw, Elm is still my daily driver for my one man projects. Though I understand why people wouldn’t want to begin learning an ecosystem that seems dead. Elm is still my favorite solution to front end development.

But compared to an ecosystem that is truly dead, Elm has lively Slack and forum communities, and every StackOverflow question is answered such that I don’t even both trying to procrastinate on SO by helping beginners anymore—someone will have beaten me to offer help!

Right now, Elm’s Slack is one of my favorite places to hang out and chat on the internet. While it is a bit confusing why compiler work has slowed down so much, it’s not the best way to judge an ecosystem.

I used an accelerometer. Just a funny UI idea, flip it upright to jiggle the mouse.

I used a different board of course, although you could add an generic accelerometer to a Pico W pretty easily.
Institutions aren’t allowed to have rigorous standards anymore since those standards always end up excluding what we call “oppressed groups”. It’s too expensive to train said groups because the problem starts with the socioeconomic status of their parents. So instead, we lower the standards.

This is happening across society and I believe it’s accelerating as we create more and more abundance. More abundance means we can “afford” to lower standards and give everyone more. The costs are hard to calculate for the decision makers of our society but they’re not hard to foresee if you’re skeptical enough.
> Russ believes it would be "clearly inappropriate" to push telemetry into user code, so yes, they have communicated their opinion on this

Erm, not quite....

Somebody explicitly asked (on one of the moderator hidden posts, I might add) "@rsc Can you guarantee that this will always be the case?"[1]

The answer was wishy-washy to put it politely:

"I can't guarantee we'll all still be here tomorrow. But for as long as Go exists and is developed, I expect that interested open source contributors like yourselves will notice and flag changes that move backward. That seems to me a more useful check on the future evolution of Go than anything I promise."

Saying "you'll have to notice and flag it" is not exactly reassuring. Especially given the way the Go team have been reacting to the "flagging" on the telemetry discussion itself !!

Opt-out sucks.
It's a contradiction. Thinking about it involves holding two conflicting thoughts in your mind at the same time. I can't change that. I'm just saying it's never been as simple as some like to pretend it is.
I agree, it's not a new phenomenon, language changes all the time.

But while some language changes rise from the people, others (like this one) are dictated by powerful institutions.

Orwell described it well about 100 years ago. Change the meaning of words to make disagreement impossible. Newspeak "designed to diminish the range of thought".
Hyperkit is a hypervisor. Virtualbox is a hypervisor. Hyper-V is a hypervisor. VMWare products are hypervisors. They are all hypervisors, a hypervisor is just the platform that manages the virtualisation (which is a CPU feature). What changes is what parts of the host system are emulated and the manner in which system peripherals are passed through. The only alternative to a hypervisor that you could mean is full-system emulation, e.g. some modes of QEMU where the CPU itself is emulated on top of another system. This is obviously slow.

Virtualised OS are obviously "slightly" slower because they now don't have 100% of a system to use, and usually require a dedicated chunk of the system RAM, but usually what people actually mean by saying they are slower is because often they don't have direct hardware peripheral access (e.g. their own dedicated network card and disk drives) and the hypervisor emulates some amount of the system. This is the case with the most accessible linux VMs that run docker, because simulating the block devices on top of the MacOS filesystem is slow.

Docker itself is none of these, it's a fancy chroot enabled by linux kernel features, so _requires_ running on top of linux or a sufficiently linux-like compatibility layer.

So you see why it's somewhat incoherent and makes it sound like you are talking out of your ass when you complain that Hyperkit is a hypervisor but "Virtual machines aren't", but all these horrible people keep disagreeing with you.

SO is a high school teacher. This is her primary complaint about how we do things today. She talks a lot about the book Grading for Equity.

I'm of the opinion that traditional schooling is a bit of a zombie. There just isn't a way for an institution with that much inertia to keep up with a world that releases generalized search and chat-capable LLMs within 20 years of each other. Especially considering they're so underfunded that in places you don't even need to know a subject to get a job teaching it, because they don't have enough SMEs willing to work at the pay.

AML is a boil the ocean way to prevent crime, except the ocean isn't being boiled because there isn't enough energy to actually boil the financial system. Instead it just annoys everyone with the financial equivalent of the ineffective TSA, where the TSA's own auditors bring everything and anything through with ease.

With all the money and human time used to prevent crime via AML, that could've been redirected to far more productive things. Especially in a country like the USA, where crime prevention issues are fairly obvious but not acted upon, such as robbery, murder, assault, rape, car break ins, property theft, damage, etc in California which aren't things effected much by AML either way.
Legislation is the key word here.

You might already be aware, but I wanted to mention it for anyone else who might be interested in software performance - Casey has a new “performance-aware programming” course [0] where he goes through how to write performant software. It’s a work-in-progress where he’s putting out a video (or a few) each week. It’s pretty great so far. For anyone who’s done a CS degree it seems reminiscent of the architecture class where they taught about the CPU and assembly, except this is covering modern CPUs and SIMD and stuff, and focused on writing for maximum performance.

I've heard x-neutered words, like "todxs", pronounced as "todes" using the -e neuter even though writing it with an "x" which is more popular than writing with -e. Or it's macro expanded into "todos and todas". But neither of these pronunciations even work on all words yet it still catches on.

Though note that people who would do either may still be a small part of genpop, you can't miss it if you interact with younger (<40) people in latam metro centers, especially.

In these convos, people are all too tempted to come up with logical reasons why "todxs" or "tod@s" cannot possibly catch on since it must surely offend the very nature of Spanish, yet that ship as already sailed. It still seems like you're trying to come at this from that angle which is why I'm trying to disabuse you of the notion.

Fwiw, I don't like this trend. But my eagerness to see it die doesn't change the fact that the trend exists and is popular on latam social media among certain demographics.
A Heisenbug lurking in async Python
I get the ocassional weird, sometimes mean look every once in a while, but I can deal with that as long as people don't stop and confront me over it, which thankfully hasn't happened yet, except a single time when some jerk walked past me and baa'd to suggest that I was a sheep back in 2020.

I don't even wear a mask everywhere (not since I got vaccinated). I don't once I sit at a table at a restaurant, or at certain social functions. But somehow I still haven't gotten Covid yet (that I'm aware of at least), even after a few known exposures, so I'm guessing either it's helping at least a little bit or I had an asymptomatic case a while back.

As far as I know, though, I could still have a moderate-to-bad case of it when I get it. My parents just both got it recently, for example, (that was one of my exposures, since they were helping me clean out my flooded basement just before they got symptoms) and it took both of them over a month before they got over it, and we share genes, so in theory I should have a somewhat rough time once I get it as well.

I have masked every time I leave the house since COVID started impacting Wuhan (we had Chinese operations, so saw early impact on the business side. If you saw me masking on BART in early 2020, wave) and I haven’t gotten a single illness of any type since then.

It’s glorious.

I am often close to the only person I see all day masking, and it blows my mind why people don’t get this advantage.

Ask HN: How can Netflix and Amazon Prime be this bad at recommending content?
I’ve literally spent 20 minutes for the xth time in a row looking for anything that remotely captures me on both platforms and in the end did not watch anything. I’ve spent hundreds of hours binging series and movies on both platforms, but neither seems able to use this to suggest anything I like. I’ll probably cancel at least Netflix.

It would be so easy:
- Store series I‘ve watched, show me new seasons when they release. - neither does it reliably.
- Don’t keep suggesting things I have watched, except in a „watch again“ category. Especially using new pictures, getting me to click on the same stuff only to realize that I have seen this already.

Given the billions invested in these UIs, how can they fail so miserably? What am I missing? This makes no economic sense … or am I just a weird edge case, and this kind of UI works for the majority?
Fwiw, I didn’t care about any of this until I worked with a visually-impaired programmer.

In fact, a better article would have been to try and predict the eye powers of a programmer based on their formatting choices.
Golang, amusingly, is evidence that this not only won't die, but is not a problem. Auto formatting tools work. Well, even. And the idea of pollution in code history is signaling an ignorance of code repository capabilities. They have been able to show history ignoring whitespace changes for a long time.

I used Gentoo from 2004 to last year. What finally drove me off of was the enormous amount of time it took to update my system (literally weeks on my old laptop) as it compiled all these enormously bloated apps.

It was also super annoying to have to constantly keep updating or risk system breakage when you finally did try to update. That meant that my computer had to virtually never stop compiling to keep up with the endless updates. It was a complete waste of power, compute resources, and wear on my computer's components.

I hate to admit it, but switching to a binary-only distro made almost all these headaches go away.

I miss having the flexibility of Gentoo, but I don't miss endlessly compiling from source.

> yeah, prohibition totally worked.

>> Americans are much more compliant now

Are you saying prohibition is worth another attempt? Because we're currently in our 52nd year of the official start of the War on Drugs [1], which is just Prohibition by another name. Unofficially, the War on Drugs goes back much further, and it's a war that the government has been losing badly since the start [2]. Even per-capita, we're the biggest consumers of illegal drugs in the world [3]. So I'd be curious to hear what evidence of compliance you could give, which would outweigh the evidence of non-compliance going back to at least the Nixon administration.

> except there's no way to sync your Passkey from the Apple sync fabric to the Microsoft sync fabric

This is by design.

> so you need some sort of shareable secret between those from which an encryption key can be derived

No, you just authenticate with your iPad passkey (using qr code), and then generate a new passkey on your Windows PC, which will now sync between your windows devices. So no sharing of secrets between sync-clouds is needed, just one time sideways authentication.

I'm guessing 1password is just another passkey that they store/sync.
Let me save scientists with a thousand years of philosophizing :

The Universe is the totality of existential potential.

Potential resolves through entropy (as distribution of potential over negative potential) to state in the moment of now (the only moment which truly exists.) This is the “manifestation of existential being.”

What you’ve gotten wrong: Finite state is not the smallest particulate of the Universe, state is the momentary resolve of discrete potentials.

Potential when stably bound is matter (mass as potential at “rest”), and otherwise radiant (distributing its potentials uncertainly over infinite negative potential.)

What surprises everyone: space and time emerges from universal potential rather than the other way around.
Ah, Tcl. A madman's idea of Lisp-style metaprogramming power. But nothing is faster for building GUIs than Tcl/Tk, especially for wrapping already existing Unix functionality.
