To my understanding, Passkeys implementations don't sync private keys, they sync and cross-sign public keys.

Some vendors may also add "recovery" public keys to those synced keychains so that you can "Forget Password" your way out of a lost device or locked account or bootstrap new devices, and you have to trust your chosen vendor's security for how they manage that private key for any "recovery" keys.

But my impression is that there isn't anything that Passkeys is doing that you couldn't do by also collecting Yubikey public keys by hand and making your own keychains if you are sufficiently motivated.
That's true. The Ioniq for example looks so different in each iteration.
OK but that has nothing to do with Argentina at all. Your original quote made no sense at all and isn't "apt".

No. Amazon was abusing their enormous market power to squeeze the company that made this software out of the market of hosting it.

(Not to mention lying about "partnering" with them)

If allowed to continue this would kill the project. If only Amazon can monetize it, it doesnt get developed. The open source project then dies.

Amazon is no more doing the right thing here than they were when they destroyed diapers.com with a strategy of sustained predatory pricing.

The fact that they want a pat on the back for being "pro open source" now after pulling this kind of crap is just icing on the cake.
I think the inflection point did likely occur naturally by reaching "critical mass". Additionally such memetic processes are now sped up via social networks and their much more efficient means of communication. Particularly Twitter with its focus on short message length stands out here.
Or the 3D Bitmojis. My 2D one looks awesome, but the equivalent 3D version looks like a sex offender...
AI is too nascent to be the sole reason for so many layoffs. Emulating HR is about all it can be trusted to do autonomously.

Old people (50+) and troublemakers (PIPs) comprised the entirety of my own company's most recent layoff round. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

My hunch is that [America] is laying off domestic engineers so we can outsource more of the positions to India during the next hiring phase. If anything, AI is playing middleman in flattening a lot of the communication hurdles.
Tesorio (YC S15) Hiring Senior Back End Engineer, DevOps, Head of Data Science
As a remote, older professional now, my career nevertheless supports the premise of this article: in-office was beneficial when I started out.

My first job had a strong lunch culture, providing an environment for serendipitous conversations, daily. Over time, I bumped into folks I never would have met in the normal scope of my role, across finance, legal, SRE, support, sales, data science, etc.

In turn, as a young professional, I was able to develop a mental model for how businesses "work", why they're organized how they are, and how (good) culture can bind everyone together towards a profitable outcome. I made some friends and acquaintances that I'm still in touch with to this day.

As a remote, older professional now, I don't necessarily "need" these serendipitous conversations anymore, although I miss the general socialization. But I do feel like they're an essential "ladder" that every subsequent generation of professionals should be able to access, and that it's a moral obligation for me to "pay it forward".

For remote work to be "fair" to young professionals, its systems should facilitate the same career benefits, with the same effort.
An Intro to SBOMs
Could you clarify who the pay-your-fair-share people are? Not a jab, I'm just unclear on what you mean.
Yeah, but they're taking a major risk that there will be a continuous audience willing to spend money on their placebo products. When money becomes tight they'll have to pivot hard to avoid going under, or go back to a "real" job but with little experience to command a higher salary.

It's the difference between investing and day trading. Day traders may get lucky and post massive, envy-inducing gains, but boring long term investors keep building during the downturns that wipe out the day traders, and so win in the long run.

Besides, being forced to live frugally doesn't sound that great to me. You aren't free, you're just constrained by money instead of people. Guess for some people it's worth it, but to me they're just two sides of the same coin. There are many meaningful experiences in life that cannot be had below a certain level of prosperity.

>Firefox is my primary brower, but 5x per week I have to switch to Chrome because a website won’t let me login or is acting funky.

I have used firefox and adblock/ublock since literally 2007, and have NEVER experienced this. What websites have given you trouble? What functionality doesn't work in firefox? What functionality is even different in firefox? Is it just servers reading your user-agent and saying no?

I recognize that spam has theoretical value in the sense that people pay spammers, but I never thought I'd see someone on HN so holier-than-thou about the supposed virtue in being a spammer.

Adding AI doesn't make your product less spam. At least be adult enough to be upfront and honest about it: you sell spam.

If your conscience is okay with that, then we can't stop you. People work in all kinds of gross industries and justify it to themselves however they will, but don't ask us to share in your justifications.

It's the Microsoft way. They have this strange duality of always redesigning UIs(see literally every major version of Windows) but also being obsessive about backwards compatibility, so all the cruft and even UIs of previous iterations are all buried in there somehow.

As a result modern Windows feels like a graveyard of old ideas and various phases of whatever UI seemed trendy at the time.
Yes! We have some basic autocomplete features: https://jupysql.ploomber.io/en/latest/howto/autocompletion.h...
This is problematic if, as is often the case, it leads to keeping vulnerabilities undisclosed, so that they can continue to exploit them. This gives bad actors more opportunity to find and exploit the same vulnerabilities, and it gives security companies that find vulnerabilities the incentive to sell their services to the police and to government agencies instead of informing the software manufacturer.
Like I said, price it out, including all surcharges, and compare it.
Nobody is pretending that it's new.

> You can absolutely do better than "moderately competent junior" from online learning. I feel like you're ignoring huge swaths of high-quality technical education that is available online.

I am not, but my definition of junior/senior/whatever is likely different than your own. At the risk of a truism: can you learn technical things online? Yes, absolutely. It's the kind of things you can't learn from a web forum that make the difference between junior and senior.

Just as a simple example, most stuff you'll read about conflict resolution (people, not code) online is superficial and trite. You can get maybe a bit more from books, but to really learn how to do it, you need to spend time watching someone who is talented at managing interpersonal conflict. I'm not great at it, but I've had the good fortune of spending time with people, in person, who were truly gifted at the task. It completely re-framed my expectations for what is possible.

Maybe there's a way to do this by video call -- but it's harder -- and you're definitely not getting the human experience by reading or watching a video.
Wow! There's a dynamite product in here that pairs a daily nagging app and one of these displays so that people are reminded to take a new picture, ever day, and have it show up on someone's (or all subscribed) photo frame.

I'm thinking, like, "take a photo of the kids so it will show up on Grandma's frame" kind of functionality. Though, obviously, it would also be used for porn, so there's a market there, too.

Anyway, very good DIY proof of concept. I hope it's productized with some of the more recent E-Ink updates soon!
Ah yes, $20 for a 1 meter cable is so good for the users, so they can get USB 2.0 speeds! Lightening hasn't been a competitive standard for like a decade. High power charging standards were around since 2012 at least.
> if WFH was really such a boon for productivity, while also costing less to both companies and workers, everyone would have jumped on board immediately and pieces like this one would not exist.

Perhaps, if it weren't for confounding variables like companies trying to justify the big shiny new buildings they spent a fortune on prior to the pandemic, middle managers working to keep themselves relevant, and forces in the commercial real estate market trying to mitigate price crashes from reduced demand for offices.

Your point of view falls apart when crime enters the picture.

Criminal law is just another form of regulation. Somehow we decided that taking cocaine is a crime. And that pedophiles are criminals. And then government tries to ensure compliance with criminal law.

People generally agree that it is fit and proper for government to act, through education and other means, to ensure most people aren't criminals.

You might say: "well criminal law is different - but is it?

This is interesting and important to know about but increasingly I feel like stochastic uncertainty isn't the main source of "random/error variance", it's more like real but uninteresting heterogeneity. I can see using this in practice but it's probably a minor part of the whole picture. I don't mean to sound dismissive; I think it's more that I wish there was more focus on other types of uncertainty as well.
There is a huge amount of data, going back at least a hundred years, that backs my statement up. But just to be very clear, I'm speaking statistically. You might be the exception to this (but I wouldn't bet on it).

The reason smart people are no more resistant to being conned than anybody else is because conning people is an emotional approach, not an intellectual one.

Any given specific con may not be one that will sucker everybody (in fact, it certainly won't), but con artists tailor their cons to their target. The one a smart person will fall for is different than the one a dumb person will fall for.

As Brian Brushwood says in his excellent podcast "The World's Greatest Con"... "We don't get conned because we're stupid. We get conned because we're human."
Huh, interesting, well there goes one of their few redeeming virtues in my mind, I guess.

Evidently not, considering there were 4 such releases. The earliest was on July 29, 2015, and the latest was on November 16, 2021 and will be supported until January 13, 2032.
Part of the problem is that relatively few people have a "never go back to that site" list to begin with, so it doesn't even move their numbers.

Yup, that's my main PineTime complaint besides the display. I wish it had a more sensible set of features, but I know it's just rebranded chinese crapware. That people keep DIYing not-so-bad watches makes me think thay getting one into mass production may not even be all that hard. A few of the Rebble people seem to be interested in it too.
As if high level growth could be perpetual. Capitalism expectations are unachievable by default and yet people use them as an excuse for shit decisions and everybody are supposed to accept this craziness as “rational”.
Sounds interesting, do you mind elaborating?
In this case it's a good thing. I used to use a piece of software called ExplorerPatcher but, as with nearly all patchers, it has the possibility to break after an update, as it did, causing Explorer to get stuck in a crash loop while I tried to figure out how to uninstall the thing without any access to the file explorer (or the start menu to find anything else to run). I didn't remember Control Panel was control.exe.

I managed to do it by downloading the setup with wget and executing it with an uninstall flag, but that was really scary.

Well, I would put the pop-up more towards the end of the content.

Also, you misrepresent the assumption. The assumption is that if the user is so annoyed even by just the attempt of conversion that they leave the site, that then you will have a hard time to ever convert them.

That assumption doesn't sound ridiculous at all to me. Also, it doesn't need to be true 100% of the time. Even 50% is probably enough to justify it, because if you don't attempt to convert, you will not convert for sure.
That's not completely true. Information asymmetry is a thing after all

Guess the problem is, there is a whole other group of parties how are manipulating us to act towards their interests. And I would say it’s clear that they are winning (see for example obesity, opioids).

> Two things I'd love to see: Something like Mozilla Persona [...]

Passkeys is relatively close to being a proper successor to Mozilla Persona. The UX isn't quite as polished as Mozilla Persona felt, but Passkeys is a multi-vendor coalition with Apple, Google, and Microsoft all throwing marketing weight behind it, so maybe the UX will never quite be perfect due to the intersection of all that, but the underlying tech is really close to what Mozilla Persona proposed, in a long, round-about away.
At least the pop-up windows had a consistent way to close them and you could use keyboard shortcut. Now I have to think about the right way to close each custom popup.
> there has to be something else on why Software is getting screwed

A lot of companies clearly overhired in the last few years, and had access to cheap money if needed to help with that. Perhaps that is most of what explains it? It was also biased to US companies, so would make sense that the reversal would be larger there also.

I disagree. Not equally irrelevant. Your employer is connected to your profession, your hobbies/kids are not.

Tucker was/is a central figure in litigation where the amount in contention was at least $4.3 billion, $1.6 billion of which has been resolved for a hair under $800 million. If the rest ends up at about the same ratio, it will have over $2 billion.
“Complex numbers” are rather poorly named. They are more naturally understood as simply a vector which has a magnitude, can be rotated and scaled. As geometric objects they are much more intuitive. The subject geometry algebra takes a great approach of generalizing this idea and augmenting basic linear algebra to unify complex numbers and beyond (quaternions, ect) with geometric objects and operations. This also fits in nicely with group theory, which organizes all kinds of objects which also have the same properties as numbers.
Once you build a docker image, you can distribute that artifact reliably. But building docker images is highly error prone, at the mercy of non-determinism, various failure modes of package managers, and mutable state from web servers you don't control. In practice, you can't depend on it working without active maintenance and disciplined usage.

With Nix, if it built once, it will build again, consistently and deterministically. It reduces fear of changing things because it just works. You don't have to cross your fingers and hope the build succeeds this time.

Darke Files isn't available for MacOS yet. I'll make sure to understand how MacOS' file system works (especially the meta data) before working on a MacOS port. If you can provide me with more info about that test suite I would be very interested.

Right now version history of a repository is saved in a ".darke" directory that works quite similar to Git's ".git" directory. I've got a few experiments planned to improve on that system, how well it can be incrementally backed-up is a metric I will also consider.

That Darke Files does not change your files at all is one of the core principles. The same will be true for symbolic links. I'm not handling symbolic links quite yet; I've been bitten by Git's not-good-enough handling of symbolic links on Windows before.
