I think most people here know that. I was surprised by the author's claim that they “do a poor job of increasing conversions”.

The real criticism is not that they don't work. The real criticism is that “conversions” shouldn't be the metric, and a web designer who prioritizes that metric over any semblance of a welcoming or pleasant experience, is scummy and is treating their users as disposable garbage.

It's similar to how we all hate sleazy politicians. We want them to serve us, the people. Instead, they serve their own interests (at best, getting reelected; at worst, helping the massive corporations they invest in). Why do they do it? Because it “works”.

Everybody knows that it “works” according to a metric that is not aligned with the common good. The criticism is that you should prioritize the common good.
TBF the majority of code examples online are insecure and not robust. Chatgpt is just echoing how it already was/is. I've been telling new guys this for years, code online is an example of how to do a, but you then need to tweak it for b and wrap it in c.

The only difference now is the scale and ease to get your example.

There's nothing inherently wrong with anarchy, but there are plenty of things inherently wrong with totalitarianism. I really don't care how many pedophiles we catch if we continue to expand the definition of pedophiles to "everyone we don't like". Similarly, I don't care how many terrorists we catch if we motivate everyone to become a "terrorist" in the process.

It can't be addressed at compile time. That's the whole point of the uncomputability of the Halting Problem.

The Zig compiler would have to have perfect knowledge of all functions that can be called anywhere. At compile time. Alan Turing proved that this is impossible.

In other words, Zig cannot address it. Ever.

> I bet my last cent that everyone who doesn't want Apple's ability to meaningfully control their platform eroded would change their tune immediately if we had a regulatory environment that had any teeth whatsoever when it comes to policing malicious software.

I definitely would change my mind. The complete lack of any effective protections against bad actors is the sole reason I'm willing to tolerate what Apple is doing with the iOS App Store.
I think feedback is a minor point, much more important in my mind is the morale-boost you get from working in the office alongside colleagues that in my experience is completely missing from remote-work
Are there any other sources that have more info on this project? This feels like a construction puff piece. Specifically:

I'm not sure what broad learnings you can derive from such a narrow study. Individual firms have seen wildly different WFH outcomes based on how they implemented it.
A question to answer is, what does orchestration look like if data flows are continuous, updating as quickly as possible? That's where we're headed. Suppose N sources of data, M places where you want that data to be, and T streaming transformations to apply along the way.

In this world, a separate control plane handling time- and job-based polling has some architectural friction with a data-plane that wants to process records the instant they're available.

The status of VLAs is officially the exact same as the status of 'uint32_t' and the like, so I think it's fair to say there's a significant difference between something being optional (a la uint32_t) and something being deprecated (a la gets).

But I agree, in practice, the change to VLAs feels more deprecation-like, because they got demoted to optional because everyone more or less recognised that they're a bad idea, I don't imagine GCC will remove it any time soon but I wouldn't be surprised if it got options to disable them and if those options eventually became enabled by default.
That one is expected, but rather than take a negative take on it, they are trumphs of capitalism - the Internet was supposed to get rid of middlemen and optimize selling, but instead it created whole new markets to more efficiently allocate resources.

I'm curious, did you grow up on it? Or was it just there?

Of my good friends, a majority of them were met online and very rarely have we met in person - maybe a couple dozen times over the past 25 years.

I don't particularly care which way companies go since there will always be remote-first options: there were many before the pandemic, and there will only be more after.

But from my experience a large problem is companies just aren't used to doing what it takes to help relationships develop in a remote only environment. They aren't used to it because when you co-habitate with people it happens more naturally. But it takes more deliberate choices for it to happen remotely.

I wouldn't point to this to call remote "harder". Just different. There's also all sorts of other difficulties with respect to being in an office that you don't have to deal with remotely.

And ultimately, some will prefer one or another. Which is fine.
Personally, I went from a fully-owned 1997 near-mint Honda Civic to a 2014 Leaf. It handles all my driving needs (and the family still has a gas car for the _very_ rare long trip).

I ran all the numbers in a big spreadsheet and determined that with fairly pessimistic numbers on the Leaf for depreciation/maintenance, and very optimistic numbers on the Civic for the same, total-cost-of-ownership worked out to approximately the same per mile. Insane.

So I bought the Leaf for $8k about three years ago. In that time it's roughly held its value or maybe appreciated due to the crazy market we're in, and I'm saving roughly $750/year (6k mi/yr, about) in fuel. More than offset the depreciation in my case, so far.

And, more importantly because all these costs are super tiny in the grand scheme of my finances, I'm driving a 2014 car instead of a 1997. More comfortable and probably much safer.
While LLMs can be prompted to write in many different styles, especially if you allow them to edit a text over multiple passes, the default "voice" of ChatGPT is surprisingly recognizable. For instance, the comment I'm replying to was clearly GPT-generated.
> It seems that they are set up to be like this already. At least Chrome+Android treat these passkeys like any password and they can be synced and accessed via API.

That same link shows that not only is this unsupported on Linux, there are no plans to support it on Chrome Linux. That's a far cry from "like any password".

If it's just an API, is the issue that there needs to be a Linux provider that offers that API? Are there plans to work with the community to build one? Is that Linux provider going to run on custom kernels, or will it only run on a signed Ubuntu image?

As it stands today, I actually can't use Chrome's WebAuthn implementation on any of computers except through its back-up "use your phone" method, which is a lot more inconvenient. And Google is telling me it has no plans to support my computers. Meanwhile, if someone uses passwords, I can tell them to switch to Linux and I don't need to provide the caveat that they won't be able to log into any of their accounts now without using a phone.
Definitely agree that Make and Nix is a nice combination, especially for facilitating faster development like the `hugo serve` use case.

I'd also argue it makes your code overall less volatile. If you ever wanted to build your code outside of Nix for whatever reason (such as migrating to another reproducible packaging tool), having everything in unopinionated `make` is a whole lot easier. Plus, it leverages the advantages of a tool that is dedicated to building code.
Of course. That is all anyone can do with respect to any counterfactual. So what? You were making a claim about the fidelity of my imagination:

"You have no clue what monolingual you would have been like."

And that's not true. I have several pretty good clues. Not only that, but what I imagine about the counterfactual me leads me to be able to formulate a testable hypothesis with respect to non-counterfactual situations, namely, that acquiring multiple languages in one's youth does afford some measurable cognitive advantages in general.

You can get a lot of leverage out of imagining things.

I may be wrong, but I think EU already has a soft ban on private entities doing facial recognition in public.

Even if it hadn’t, if a government entity is banned from doing something, it doesn’t matter if it’s hiring employees or contractors to do it - I think that is the spirit of the law in EU. In US it’s obviously different.
Oh, I see your point now. Multiplication in Roman numerals is strikingly different (and much harder) than addition. So representation of the pattern might be so alien that it's unrecognizable even though the pattern is known.
Alright, I thought "twitter appears to reset that setting every so often" was something that happened to you frequently. There was a bug with the new "For You page" when it was released a few months ago so it didn't save the settings. Musk tweeted about it and it was fixed within 1-2 days.
Me too! But human beings must eat. So, get rid of capitalism, or convert.

Keep in mind that conversion here means to provide the author of the content, hopefully a human being, with an email, so that they can inform you of interesting new content. I cannot see anything inhumane in this.

This is the same e-ink device I believe that's in the Pimoroni Inky Impression.

I've written a Python program that anecdotally fixes the bias caused by the display for blues and greens, and dithers using an Atkinson dither. The code is based on some older Java implementation I wrote, but if you are considering a port to C
this is more succinct (entry point diffuse_image()):

https://github.com/KodeMunkie/inky-impression-slideshow/blob...

The fix is to define the ink's blue as a slightly different hue than the device specifications, which tends to over emphasise it - improving it - when it comes to shades like sky blue (which the display can't achieve).
So instead of (perhaps) being quantised to green, which is closer colour match for the actual real hue, more blue is shown instead. Whilst this is incorrect for photographic colour accuracy, if you don't know what the original photo looks like it appears to be correct and better than the colour that is typically chosen (green).

Do we have a word/phrase to describe the rather obvious fight over remote-work that broke out roughly 2 years ago? I still remember the mechanics. Covid-19 forced management to go all-in on remote-work, which was a god-sent for those which always wanted to have more of it. Now, these people (rightfully so) realized that with the end of the pandemic, their newly acquired "right to work remote" would be endangered, so we started to see dogfights over the concept. The one side emphatically arguing for remote-work because they were seeing their new acquisition endangered, while the other side trying to get back to work with other people. That said, in my opinion, the discussion wouldn't have to be so energetically loaded if both sides would realize that it all boils down to CHOICE! If people were not forced to go one or another way, they could actually choose what fits them best, and there would be no need to fight over what is right or wrong. This article wouldn't even have to be written. Because if WFH is not mandated, people choose what they prefer, and missed opportunities are much less relevant as long as you are walking a path you actually decided to walk on.

The main point of TOTP is that users passwords are mostly weak and reused across sites. TOTP protects those users from password stuffing and similar attacks.

If you are using a strong random password generated from 1PW you've already mitigated against that threat. TOTP isn't buying you much additional security. So for most folks it is just fine to store you TOTP seed in 1PW.

Unlike TOTP, passkeys _do_ buy you additional security in their phishing resistance. So you should always prefer passkeys/fido2 keys to TOTP if that is an option. Its still fine for most users to use 1PW as your passkey storage.

I'd disagree. Democracy in the US is already extremely well controlled. You only have two realistic options, and the primary that led to those two options is fairly undemocratic. Between gerrymandering, citizens united, private control over corporate news, and a million other things, meaningful democracy may as well be dead (or perhaps never existed).

Control over encryption is overwhelmingly about those in power keeping others out of power. If you have access to all of your opponent's communications because you're already the president, there's really nothing the opponent can do to balance things out. Any grassroots movement to displace you and your government would never get off the ground - they'd be arrested before they could even organize, since the entirety of your comms is available to the establishment.
Hi all, Founder/CEO DuckDuckGo here and I hope I can help clear this up. Search syntax filters are still available on DuckDuckGo and we’ve re-updated the help page to reflect that. Nothing has actually recently changed with the way they work in terms of removing any functionality. In fact, we actually recently added functionality to make site exclusion work better as described in https://duckduckgo.com/updates

What did happen is last month we temporarily updated our syntax help page because we had been getting complaints from some users that they were not working consistently and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but we never actually deactivated the features themselves.

Instead of removing that information from the help page, even temporarily, we should have said we know users are having problems and we’re working to address them. That's what the help page says now and we hope to provide an update soon.

Why do you think corporations and everyone here push the MIT license so hard and in general dislike copyleft licenses, even weak ones like the EPL?

Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli

> When a bad Pub/Sub message was pulled into the binary, an unhandled panic would crash the entire app, meaning web, workers and crons all died.

Several years ago while working on a Message Queue based application, we had a poison message, one where the consumer process would read the message and then die because the message was malformed and then the message would get back to the queue and due to the FIFO nature of the queue, the retries will also fail.

Ideally, there should be enough checks to ensure that a poison message can never be created. But if edge cases cause this issue, the handler should have some way of knowing that it is retrying the message for the n-th time and then if it fails, move it to a dead-letter-queue and report failure on handling that message.

Unfortunately, this pattern of issues are quite common. So, we fully expect this and design around it.

Then, any message in a dead-letter-queue gives you an example of a crash-inducing message which can then be debugged for root-cause.
Why don't you share some of the amazing skills you've acquired through not learning languages?
I mean not necessarily. You don't need to shift the job to AI before you fire people, you just need to think you can. In many cases in a highly technical & inhuman sense you'll cut hidden inefficiencies by shifting more of the work to the remaining workers, who will be more miserable as a result.

We've seen this a lot of different ways to varying extents. There aren't robots making fast food. But there are demand prediction and just in time scheduling systems that allow fast food businesses to run shifts with fewer employees. Nothing "replaced" those workers, but they don't work there anymore, the service is worse, the remaining workers are overworked and lack consistency in their scheduling.

Examples like this are all over most industries over the last 10-15 years. We'll see more of it and in novel ways. The AI won't replace your job, you just won't have a job anymore because of the AI. Should you care about the difference? Depends on how much stock you own vs how much you need to work, I think.

As white collar professionals we're insulated from a lot of this or at least think we are. It's going to suck shit for most everyone else though.
