Using phones as all-powerful fallbacks is great when you're at home or the office, and wondering if your computer or online accounts are being compromised. Not when the phone itself could be compromised (physically). This sounds stupid to say because it is - stupid-ly obvious.

Major phone OS makers (all, what, 2 of them?) need to allow you to have at least 2 authentication paths - one when you are in a physically secure location, and one when your phone could be snooped or stolen. It's a fundamental need for phones.

To mitigate the problem of muggers demanding both codes, they should also allow location-based locking, where you could tell the phone to only allow the trusted functions to be accessed at certain GPS coordinates.
Thanks, the Screen Time tip is very useful. Bit annoying that it can't prompt to let you use the Apple ID settings (they're now just unavailable until you go to Screen Time settings again) but better safe than sorry.
The value is always decreased costs in managing itself, “cleaning self of security breaches” but like you said the trade off is that it’s a single point of failure. If that company becomes defunct or a security issue arises (ie, poorly implemented specs or malicious employee) then your company is now racing to migrate off.

Personally, I would rather manage it myself. I have found an open source system called Ory which allows you to fully customize the identity, federated identity support with other components (ie, act as your own IdP), highly scalable, offers ACLs, support for multi factor authentication, social login, and can fully customize the login experience to your liking.

I manage the deployment, upgrades, and monitoring through a series of helm charts and k8s. Their system is so efficient it can run entirely on a single node k8s cluster (ie, dev machine with minikube). Not going to lie, it’s definitely a lot of work but worth the trade off. No longer have to burn $$$ while testing simple flows in my apps.
that's how any SPA should be written

I agree, hence the surprise!

Although parent explicitly calls out "cloud applications" so I'm guessing online has something to do with it.

And in the context of online/offline, it wouldn't matter if it's internet connected or not, using controlled input components with state changes going through a deep hierarchy would introduce that sort of delay no matter if you're online or offline.

I think it should also be possible with electro magnetism. By first defining the sign convention for electron flow and then deriving left hand and right hand rules of magnetism or something like that. It’s a bit tricky to explain the sign convention, but I think if one sticks with the movement of elementary particles, it should work.
Even better:

A: There are two monkeys wearing yellow shirts in the photo.
P: But there is no monkeys.

I think that while this is true, it does not matter at all. As a labourer, what you are getting paid for is not 'to understand' stuff, but actually 'to do' stuff. If an overgrown language model can 'do stuff'; I don't think it matters, at all, whether it understands anything or not. From the perspective of the company/user, it is intelligent.

Your local public library likely has a decent selection of movies on DVD and with inter-library loan they can probably get you just about anything you want.

My previous city library was a pretty good supplement to Netflix. But my new city only has new stuff. An only does inter-library loans for printed material.

West coast libraries are unusually well stocked for DVDs because occasionally (before streaming) a movie or other entertainment company will get caught doing some minor misdeed, and was able to pay the fine by dumping DVDs on rural library systems.
Whoa now. Don't go after the cash cow! It's so much harder to rent-seek when people just run regular programs that don't require 10 gigs of RAM and internet access. But where's the career promotion in that?
I think valve did there part to remove one large reason to stay on windows.

A challenger appears. He is unburdened by the need to advertise. Its super effective.
If you look at what the prompter had to know in order to get a useful output you can see how far away we are from replacing that individual with a business stakeholder.

That’s why I view these tools as “productivity enhancements” rather than a straight replacement of a job. In some cases maybe, but not for coders just yet…

I think the most underrated and useful parts of this process is the ability to get going.

For me the starting energy of a project is the thing that blocks me. With chatgpt, it’s a simple prompt to get the conversation going. Once in motion I can put the puzzle pieces together while chatgpt can help me keep momentum

No, I will keep using telnet over netcat. I’m not remembering and looking up those switches over and over.

If I’m automating port checks, I’m probably using neither. But if I want to check if something is listening then I can remember the telnet command and will use that.

I think humans tend to have a definition of intelligence that is too far fetched in my opinion. They confluate it with things like conscience, meaningfulness etc, which just might be human hallucinations.

Galileo said "the earth is spherical and revolves around the sun, contrary to what's been taught (that the earth is the center of the heavens)". The powerful group called the Church said that's wrong and condemned him and shunned him.

A proper scientific discourse would be to be open to new theories, and let people who guess those theories come up with evidence.

Then again many people on Twitter who are convinced it's a lab leak that's been covered up just yell and scream as well ("It's China and they're cagey, they're hiding something, which mean the lab leak theory must be true!"), which is not how you prove a scientific theory...

A large part of learning to sail a boat is learning the terminology.

Everything has a name and none of the names coincide with non-nautical experience.

For instance, a “rope” on a sailboat refers to the metal part of a line usually used to the main sail. What non-sailors would call a rope, sailors call a line.

There’s a working vocabulary of 50-100 such terms and then hundreds more when you start talking about very specific pieces of equipment.

No, buying a physical disk gives you rights to lend that physical object. The warning says you are not allowed to make copies. That is one anti-consumer aspect of the shift to streaming media. With physical discs netflix could build a sharing business without permission from anyone. With streaming the corresponding thing is illegal.
Sounds like all these starter packs need to use purely functional package managers like straight.el (or the newer elpaca) who has the ability to pin to exact commit hash of the third party packages. Afaik, Doom Emacs does exactly that, and it doesn't have such reproducibility issues?

Theoretically, another source of deviation might be different distros shipping different builds of Emacs using different flags, resulting in things like different graphics backend (like GTK vs pure X11). I am not sure if this is a legitimate concern in practice, but using something like Nix or Guix might eliminate even that.
I would argue it’s intrinsic to the language itself. In fact I did as a pedagogical tactic.

I've realised I feel like a total fish out of water when I've gone back to Windows this week (work...) and haven't got invaluable tools like netcat/netstat to test whether things are actually doing / listening to what I think they should be. Telnet seems to be the only obvious (semi-)OOTB option there.

What do people who end up doing haxxy dev work in windows do in these kind of situations (testing if ports are listening / open in Docker containers / WSL, listing out listening ports). It seems the tooling is often "Use this tool (telnet) in a hacky way", or "Download this horrible GUI".
I think you can understand how for example an engine works, in a way which couldn’t be described as subjective or artificial. You might have a shallow or deep understanding of this depending on your profession. People who are religious tend to talk about belief rather than understanding. I don’t suppose many Christians claim to understand God’s mind or his will, quite the opposite. Also, claiming to know God’s will as zealots do is not the same as understanding it.
It's an extended form of virtue signaling.
Same. Like a moron, apparently, I just use my text editor to get work done.
> I even remember taking note of how the shipping delays differed based on the day of the week. I think if you got the phase right you could get two entire turnarounds per week.

I need to go in and fix broken links, but I tracked 5+ years of Netflix mailings (dropped DVDs into my sixth year).

What I rented, when I got it and shipped it back, when they received and mailed another, and what mailer I got (local address or further away).

One of the posts:

It was definitely interesting to have a record of how turnaround changed over the course of the month).
"Left side of the boat" is a lot more syllables than "port". And using different words makes it less likely that the listener will be confused by multiple uses of the same word to mean different things.
I have been using open source tooling for authentication and authorization. So far I have had good experience with Ory ecosystem and self managing (they have a managed version as well).

It’s missing “billing” compared to Kinde but that’s something I can add with another open source tool — Lagos.

Good luck. I can see the value in startups using this in the short term to quickly get something to market without burning their capital but in the long run it would be better to manage it yourself with good open source tooling.
So where is all that equipment going to go?

Which is just my way of getting to my wish that my local library could duplicate dvds for loan on demand. Rather, I have to request and wait. Seems ridiculous for digital media.
Agree, they deliver updates and fixes, its good to have the option.
You are right. Sorry, i meant headcount of software staff.
Oh, certainly. But they can reset the server that is running out of memory faster than that. Most issues that leaked in the press require more than five months, but some patches can be set up.

One of the key processes that failed over Christmas was assigning personnel to crews and crews to flights. You can store a working option regularly (every hour) and revert to that, with local modifications, when things stop working. It won’t make things good, but it will avoid having to strand all flights for days.

Index ETFs have been around for 15+ years now, and the advice is widely known that if you are an uneducated investor without inside information or some type of edge, you should stick to sub 0.15% expense ratio index funds. It is so easy nowadays that all you have to do is figure out the year you want to retire and buy that year’s target date fund and forget about it.

If people want to gamble, then that is their problem.

Are our expectations so low now that developers can't be expected to put in a little effort to learn a text editor? Look, I promise I'm not the smartest guy, but I ground out a few weeks of memorizing key bindings like ten years ago, and that was basically it. M-x apropos and Google fill in the rest of the gaps. I truly don't understand why stuff like this seems to be so hard for people. My hunch is that they just don't want to put in the effort. Which is fine! But please just be honest about it.

This kind of service helps you get off the ground much faster. Adding a few social logins, plus email/password, plus MFA is not necessarily slow but it's not fast when you have to create the whole backend.

In many applications identity is not the main part of the business. Once you're up and going you can devote time to identity management.

Obviously there are Open Source projects and libraries that do the same thing, but usually these companies have better docs and dashboards. So the value is just decreased initial cost at the expense of a possible outage or eventual disruption, but these things happen with any external provider, you just have to make the cost/benefit analysis.

A bit like e-mail: e-mail is usually a crucial part of the business too, but nearly no one manages their own e-mail service nowadays.

I find it somewhat annoying to see the intense community pressure to go with third party auth providers. I see auth, user and role/permission management as a core pilar of an online business and would think long and hard before handing this over. I realize doing this yourself requires a big investment in studying proven security practices and finding well established libraries, but I think it's well worth it.

It's impossible to predict what the job market will look like in 10 or 20 years or what skills will be in demand. I studied biomedical engineering 12 years ago because it was "a promising field," but it had been "a promising" field for 20 years before I started and it remains "a promising field" today. It does deliver on its promise if you go into pharma though, which (as of today) requires a college degree, a master's degree, a PhD, and some luck.

In 2016 I was fresh out of college, meeting people, looking for a job and I met a neuroscience PhD who had been having such bad luck that he was asking me, who was basically a kid, if I knew any places hiring. And now just a few months ago one of my college classmates who had gone on to get a PhD in materials science is career-changing into software because of the grim job market for his field.

In the 90's you could walk into an office in jeans and a t-shirt, say you knew programming, and get a job (or so I'm told). In the 2000's, after the dotcom bubble crash the job market for software developers seemed bad but I think it recovered quickly. In the 2010's demand for software devs was insanely high; VC's were over-funding tech startups, unicorn companies boomed, and older companies were giving more respect to their own tech stack so as to not fall behind. By the late 2010's though, the labor market started catching up to demand for software devs so junior positions were getting harder to obtain. In 2023 I think software jobs for junior devs are very hard to get. I do think this trend will continue.

On the flip side, the recent government initiative & funding for bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to the US has brought a lot of new jobs to my hometown, some that sound really cool. A lot of new software jobs for automation, mechanical engineer jobs for manufacturing, and probably in the near future once things are set up and running they'll be hiring chemical & electrical engineers if they aren't already.

So yeah I have no idea what advice to give to a 16 year old. But I think it's better to have multiple skills than to try to be an expert at one thing. It's less of a gamble to you if one of your skills doesn't work out, and possibly you can combine the 2 skills into something that really is unique.

Education is still important, maybe more important than it's ever been. Memorizing facts and going to university less so. When you build your understanding of the world, you build your imagination and precision of thought. Develop a generalist approach to learning; I would rather spend 100 hours on 100 subjects rather than 10,000 on 1. Spending 100 FOCUSED hours on anything puts you in the top 10th percentile at least.

Subjects/Skills I would prioritize in no particular order:

- Writing code

- Economics

- Psychology

- Personal Fitness / nutrition

- Statistics/Probability

- Reading great authors

- Philosophy

- Public Speaking / Leadership

- Marketing

It all starts with curiosity. Good luck!
