We (the institution of programmers broadly speaking) tried that, and it was a hot mess. It's fine for scratch for a single machine, running a single version of the software. As soon as you involve multiple computers talking or multiple software versions over time, it quickly causes tons of issues.

There's a reason most serialization formats are either self-describing, have external schemas (json), or offload state to a specific state store engine.

I would say because it relies on an hardware key, which few of your users are going to have anyway. Any tech requiring an hardware component is going to be much slower to deploy.

I know there is still much interest in deploying it for internal/employee authentication in large organizations where you control the app login and the employee hardware. Some organizations that wrongly deployed multi factor auth based on SMS have realized that was a poor choice and are looking for alternatives.

USSR achieved around a century of advancement under capitalism in the west a few decades after USSR was formed. Despite US having vastly more resources than USSR, the Soviets were able to keep ahead of US in many technological advancements. Maybe you yourself should think of what the west could've achieved if it wasn't run by oligarch kleptocrats.
For example?

Not sure everywhere else, but within the Ruby community the ‘devise’ gem is most popular auth plugin.

Discussion are currently underway as to how to refactor the code to make passwords second class citizens. And further whether to factor in design for MFA or just to bypass straight to adding passkey support.

It’s major replumbing to essentially move username/password to be one of many, within the auth framework.

Once this is resolved in devise thousands of Ruby/rails apps could add support overnight, but it seems to be getting a little stuck on the question of the best way forward (and someone to do all that heavy lifting).

Join the conversation if you have something valuable to add:

Android is another system, and yes, there have been breaches.

Lets say it like that, and I know I am simplifying quite a bit:

Apple checks security at "compile time", during the App Store checks.

Android checks security only (or mostly?) during "run time".

"Compile time" can give good guarantees because the "compile time" can quite long. Then, during program execution, there need to be less run time checks (and a program can be much faster, by the way).

What do you think happens when allowing sideloading on Apple iOS devices? Suppose there are much less run time checks available because compile time checks are expected?

If that's not possible to make society change for the better (I have my doubts) then accept your fate nobody said life would be fair, perhaps take up religion.

The big difference with the car rental vs a perpetual license is the perpetual aspect of it. Nobody is signing a contract with a car rental place to exchange money once and then have the car for a long, indeterminate time.

The North American "feral pigs" tearing up Texas should not be confused with javelinas[1] that have been on the continent since the Miocene...

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peccary
> Why are they called 'feral hogs' in America?

because they are domestic pigs gone feral, plus a minority of boar-pig hybrids resulting from the contact with wild boar.

> This is the original wild species of pigs (…) I think wild boar would be better

Feral hogs are not the same thing as wild boar. The latter are the ancestor species from which pigs descended, whereas the former are domestic pigs gone feral plus a minority of hybrids. Western wild boar have a chromosome count of 2n = 36, whereas pigs (including the majority of feral hogs that aren't hybrids) have a chromosome count of 2n = 38. Hybrids typically have 37 or 38 chromosomes.

> We also don't call wolves 'feral dogs,'

… because they aren't, just like wild boar aren't feral hogs. Wolves aren't domestic dogs who went feral but just wolves who stayed wolves. So the equivalent of the wolf in the porcine world would be the wild boar, not the feral hog, of which the equivalent in the canine world is… a feral dog.

> When I'm hiring, I see a lot of MIT/Stanford/Ivy on resumes, but I also pay as much attention to resumes from people who went to other schools, or who took some other path through their circumstances.

I agree wholeheartedly. As another datapoint, over the years I've worked with many people from "top" schools like MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Ivies, etc. Generally they have not been strong engineers. I don't really have a good understanding of why, but it's just something I've noticed.

The folks who've struggled through non-traditional routes have been stronger engineers. They may not be as strong on the theory side, but they have some intangible "street smarts" or something that makes them overall more effective. Some combination of focus, grit, scrappiness, etc.

There have been some engineers who are from top schools who do have those traits but IME they aren't as common.
Unfortunately this doesn’t just affect CarPlay, it affects Android Auto too.

I really dislike that Google purposefully tries to blur their Auto and Automotive products.

Why this sucks even if they’re both android:

1. Your software updates are tied to your car manufacturer rolling them out. Will they have better support life’s than your phone?

2. Your processing power and capabilities are tied to your car, which are often more sluggish than what even mid range phones provide. You might upgrade your phone multiple times during the cars lifetime but you now can’t benefit from your increased snappiness.

3. You only get eight years of service subscriptions to maps etc… whereas with your phone it’s indefinite.

4. The same apps don’t run on both for some reason. So you don’t get parity

5. Your account logins and preferences are tied to your car. That makes it worse for shared vehicles like family cars and rentals/fleets.

I dislike that Reuters positions this as Apple vs Google
My first guess is this could be Fry's store #3 in Palo Alto located on Portage Ave (closed in late 2019 [0]), but from the footage it's hard to be certain.

The shelving layout looks like the components section, which was behind the checkout area of the store. This was where you could buy discrete computer parts like motherboards, CPUs, memory, HDDs, cases, PSUs, network switches and cabling, oscilloscopes, soldering irons, heat shrink tubing, and tiny parts like capacitors and voltage regulators. Components was adjacent to the telephone and Appliances departments.

Where else in Palo Alto was there ever so much variety of inventory for sale? The Radio Shack in Downtown was tiny, and I don't recall Egghead computers in Menlo Park ever having even near that much inventory, but I was quite young at the time.

By the way, where was The Wiz located? I remember the tagline "Nobody beats the Wiz!", but it was founded in New Jersey [1] and don't recall such a store ever existing near Palo Alto (or the Bay Area). A bit tough to search for today thanks to the thorough marketing campaigns by a cyber security company sharing the same name.

No business with a mobile component can afford to ignore iOS.

And a lot of apps launch early on iOS or have better features on iOS or never even launch at all on Android. Less so these days but it's still a thing. I was just in Japan and you can use an iPhone to pay for mass transit but not a non Japanese Android phone, just as one recent example.
That is a "model" tat is very handwavy about a lot of things.

36% battery power capable of sustaining Hawaii for 11 hours. 4% is "flexible gas" from "carbon-neutral synthetic fuels" that will be produced using "excess renewable energy", etc.

No numbers except "flexible solution is 68% cheaper than just overbuilding renewables". "All technology options have been priced at their expected costs at year 2030."

These are not calculations. These are marketing materials for Wärtsilä

Edit:

There are some interesting things though. For example, if you click on solar, they show that you need 3.4x installed solar capacity compared to peak load. And (emphaisis mine): "Because the sun is only shining for part of the day, solar panels can on average over the whole day produce energy at maximum of around 25% of their installed capacity"

ShowHN: VoyageDiaries Travel diary to record your travel experiences
Hey friends,

I have recently launched a new Travel Vlog platform, VoyageDiaries.

VoyageDiaries is intended for anyone who would like to share their unique travel experiences. User can include photos, travel details, and attach their other social-media post.

We also allow user to tag favorite stories for travel inspiration.

That's a fair assessment, but if you can't find the store you need, you'll probably be fine just sticking to Google Play, just like you would be on the app store.

Android and iOS are not the same, and they never will be. For one thing, people bully others for having the wrong colour chat bubbles; there's a whole social problem surrounding the brand and that provides one reason why someone who wants to install an emulator doesn't buy an Android phone.

There's no reason why you can't stick with Apple's app store if others decide they don't want to. In fact, the threat of competition will only drive Apple to make their own platform better. Just look at the way Safari has been improving ever since the threat of Blink coming to iOS became a reality.

What you describe isn't an "Android-like situation". Most Android users don't even know they can install apps from the internet, just like most iOS users don't know that you can just sideload apps over the network already, albeit with some arbitrary restrictions.
The pay isn’t worth it, and you won’t enjoy the company of most students. Instead, use VTO and guest lecture at the local community college or university. By guest lecturing you’re time boxing your commitment, doing it for free, and the actually interested students will reach out.

I’ve guest lectured twice and mentored 4 students met this way in their tech careers. Each class had 40-50 students in it but only one or two truly engaged with the material. Those engaged students will almost certainly have fantastic careers and are people you want in your network.

>You don't have the right to insist the manufacturer make it easy for you

I do, and it's easy, look: I believe Apple should let me install DOOM on the bootloader and make it easy for me to do so. If I had time to waste, I'd send emails every day, go protest in front of their HQ until I get what I want.

Apple's allowed to not do anything about it, and I'm allowed to lobby my legislators to force Apple to do so. Because Apple's wishes are not law, not in any functioning country that I know of.
I don't think that they care about not having useless apps. They care about the apps looking "integrated" in their system, right? I am an Android user and an Android developer, and I must admit that iOS apps usually look more consistent (in terms of UX).

And that's one of the values of Apple: this vertical integration that makes the overall thing look more polished (and probably easier to use to some extent).

Of course, they are happy to keep the restriction because they can take 30% commission on the paid apps, I'm not saying they are perfect and that there is nothing to improve. But I am not completely convinced that forcing them to lower their standards of integration (by allowing any kind of apps) is necessarily beneficial for the users.

After all, why do developers want PWAs? Probably mostly because it is cheaper for them, not because it's better for their users, right?
You misquoted your source. Clever tactic.
> Without other sources of information people critical thinking will be impossible

so you're just describing propaganda and "grooming"/"conditioning".

I think the threat is overblown, unless one single entity ends up controlling all information. I highly doubt this is possible in the west - there's too much competition. But i guess if it does happen where one entity obtains a monopoly on information production and distribution, then yes, this might happen.
Ukraine could hit the Crimean Bridge from territory they control today with ATACMS, which if kept inoperable would make supplying Crimea untenable.

That's Ukrainian territory by international law, a valid military target, and minimal civilian casualties.

The US should have given them examples for that single purpose long ago.

It's not like Ukraine and Russia aren't already shooting SRBMs at each other.
Yes.

Given Java's goal is "write once, run everywhere"...that's not a bad thing.

There's definitely drama around it. There's drama around whether devices seeking RYF certification can use newer (blob-allowing) versions of Libreboot, even if the devices has a board for which Libreboot doesn't use blobs. There's drama around whether FSDG-following GNU/Linux distros can still ship the Libreboot tools.

The page https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html does a better job of showing how the Libreboot's policy is at odds with the FSF's RYF and FSDG policies. And that disagreement between Libreboot and the FSF definitely causes drama in the community.

Heck, a few Libreboot contributors split off and created a fork (also claiming the Libreboot name): https://libreboot.at/
Not sure how this is relevant to the point.
Right, I just looked it up and the largest community college in my city now charges about the same as I paid to go to the nearby state university 10 years ago. It's clearly not going to the instructors. It must be a combination of new construction and administrative bloat.

Overhunting causes a population explosion? Overfishing causes abundance? Interesting theory.
To be fair that Powerbook (I had a 160 a few years before and it costed a lot) didn't cost you (or your family) the equivalent of 200 or 300 US dollars, it was more like 2,000 (at the time, so something like 4,000 dollars today):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_190

So, besides being really tough, you probably cared a lot about it or at least your parents told you to be careful with the thing that costed so much money (and you still managed to break it a couple times), think at how you would have treated something that was given to you by the school.

Low skilled labor is never going to be a problem while Russia maintains good relationships with Central Asian dictators.
