Because users who lost account because of lack of 2FA usually require attention and support resources. It’s easier to require more security than to figure out if this is a legitimate user who is trying to get access.
You could always add seat limits at lower tiers, truth is that almost no company in my region is paying for Gitlab, but there are plenty that are paying for GitHub. There's also the problem with big customers, you can see it in Gitlab's case, namely they demand a lot of stuff and they have the leverage. I worked at a company like this, we couldn't stop focusing on niche custom dev for Mr Big Buck while our core offering was neglected and we stagnated.

It's really healthy for a company to have a whole spectrum of clients, from people that chip in 2-4$ per month for a minor bump in capabilities and without any support included to big companies that push for exploring new features.

In my opinion, Gitlab is a primary example of feature-creep and it will be the demise of the company.

The US is helping Ukraine defend itself from the imperialistic beast.

If all this was such a complicated ruse to contain Russia, then please get on your hotline to the Kremlin and tell them to pull out of Ukraine it will make them able to challenge the US.

And it's even what Ukraine wants!.

I have not researched it but I wonder if you can even hash IPv6 addresses. The issue I see is that allocations could be too regular so even if the full space is huge most addresses may occupy a small and predictable part of it.

I think our projects are completely different and don't have the same goals.

1. You don't implement the most important algorithms. For example `stable_sort` for arrays. So right there, it's not even a substitute.

One of my motivations from the start was simply to have `stable_sort` in C (to implement database queries).

2. Yours is a clever implementation of C++ features using macros. But it's not idiomatic C. If someone (or their team) wants to use your system, they must learn your macro language.

My file can be included by someone who only knows C array, and will not intrude on any aspect of their C programming style.

3. Mine is intentionally not a data structure library, and avoids making allocations.

There are countless data structure libraries for C. Very few catch on. That's because C programmers tend to manage the life cycle of data themselves. Furthermore, data structures are inter-woven with their data, as opposed to being separate containers.

Besides that point, I see no advantage to yours over other data structure libraries. For example, the best C hash map implementations are written for uint64 keys. Fixing to a concrete type allows for tremendous optimization.

I applaud the efforts in your project and wish it success. Our projects happen to draw on similar source material, but that's about it.
I think this article misses the mark in a pretty big way.

It starts off by saying the problem with WebAuthn is lack of widespread support, which is fair now, but not a fundamental unsolvable problem. WebAuthn/Passkeys are pretty new - essentially less than 12 months old (since iOS 16 GA). Google.com added support this year, and Apple.com is adding support this year. iOS 17 adds support to the system frameworks to let third party apps (like 1Password) store and sync Passkeys.

But my biggest objection is with saying all problems of passwords are "solved by fairly simple password hygiene". Apart from the "if everyone just did the correct thing we wouldn't have any problems" declaration, IMHO the main advantage of Passkeys is that they eliminate phishing as a possibility due to the public/private key cryptography.

Passkeys just entirely eliminate classes of problems with passwords by shifting the burden of security from the user to the tech itself.

I remain skeptical that Passkeys will end up with widespread support, and I think it's too early to tell how it'll go, but all signs are pretty promising. I hope Passkeys work out.

Possibly, but as I understand it the courts had to get involved to drag Harvard away from racially discriminating in favour of various minorities people.

It seems unlikely that Harvard are secretly discriminating against minorities with their legacy admissions program. There seems to be a consensus that if admissions was left to their own they'd be trying to filter out Whites & Asians. So it seems a bit far-fetched to claim that might be an indirect attack against the very people Harvard were just trying to advantage. They're clearly discriminating based on social standing, money and power.
Most alternatives are not made by advertising companies, but they also frequently aren't free... Rolling your own from the ground up is not necessary or typically advisable when there are so many good options, including many self-hosted and open source options if you're wanting that level of control.

I usually describe the cost of GA as "subsidized by your customers' data".
True. One needs to build it's own "router" if you will. But in practice that means writing functions that modify the URL (some pushState(url) and scrollTo(top) stuff) and make them part of the primary function, so you can forget about it (I'm a functional programmer). Same with adding/substracting from the history stack. 1h of work each. Is that too much?

It really just worked without much troubleshooting. Most trouble I've had was with cookies and cross-origin problems (or weird client requests).
Code Confessions Digest #4: News, and Resources from Last Week
US is not a vivificaing spirit of everything that happens on the planet.
Ukrainians wanted to go their own way.
Moscow didn't wanted to lose strict control over them, so they went all out in their usual style.
Same thing happened in Georgia in 2008.
Its the people that wanted to change things, not some magical US meddling.
On the other hand if something happens then the US usually tries to exploit it for their own benefit.

IMO your way of looking at reality is wrong, because it messes causality.
This seems to be inaccurate. When I go to join-lemmy.org, and click join a server, the first servers on the list are at least semi-randomized recommended servers. Every time you refresh the page the selections change.

As far as the “popular” list, which is placed below the recommended list, lemmy.ml doesn’t have any special privileges there. It just happens to be the most popular. If something becomes more popular it will go on the top.

It’s funny seeing these battery breakthrough articles repeatedly. It’s been years of them now :) I’m always curious who the science writers are who can’t exercise critical thinking and ask a few tougher questions or review a battery breakthrough rubric.
The definition of bikeshedding is nitpicking unimportant details because the important details are difficult to figure out, discuss, or acknowledge. It doesn't specifically point out "ignorance" as the sole reason why bikeshedding occurs:

"The term was coined as a metaphor to illuminate Parkinson's Law of Triviality. Parkinson observed that a committee whose job is to approve plans for a nuclear power plant may spend the majority of its time on relatively unimportant but easy-to-grasp issues, such as what materials to use for the staff bikeshed, while neglecting the design of the power plant itself, which is far more important but also far more difficult to criticize constructively."

Source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding

A form of "one-man-bikeshedding" is when you keep postponing important work, by constantly checking email, cleaning the house, or doing other unimportant busywork. You are not ignorant about what is important. But you procrastinate as it's much more difficult and painful to face it.

The same dynamic is present also in groups, where groups naturally tend towards endlessly debating nonsense, as it's easy-to-do busywork.
Or believe it’s important to be true to themselves…
Bill Thurston: What's a mathematician to do? (2010)
> moving apart from each other at something like 2,087,340 km/s. Surely that should mean that any light emitted from those two objects never reaches the other as this is well above the speed of light.

At first I was reminded of thought exercises with trains moving at 0.9C, but I think this much simpler: The velocity of the object emitting light doesn't matter once the light has been emitted. The formula just involves light moving at 1C and the receiving object moving at less than that.

(But take me with a grain of salt, I may be missing what you're getting at.)
It was an Indian response to a Chinese provocation. But you’re not very familiar with Indian matters if you think there have been no further Indian responses.

Banning apps is one thing. Military exercises with America, Japan and Australia is another. A state visit by the Indian PM to America where defence deals were struck is yet another. All of these responses hurt China’s interests.

It’s quite simplistic to think that app banning is the only thing a country can do.

Also, you might not understand this but it’s easy to replace Chinese apps, so it only hurts the Chinese companies and not Indian consumers. It’s harder to replace physical goods overnight because that would increase prices and decrease choice for Indian consumers. That’s why it hasn’t happened.
I’m not sure at all what you’re trying to say here but I hope it’s not bigoted.

"I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that the problem with passwords is password hygiene, not with the method itself"

Clearly this guy has never got his password sniffed before, or even heard about it.

It's always painful to see someone who doesn't understand something talking about it, and worse, badmouthing it.

And,

"Notice that all of these problems are solved by fairly simple password hygiene"

Clearly this guy has never heard about various fiascos of various password manager software.

=====

Passkey doesn't need you connected to the internet.

Google Auth too.

Actually weak password is fine, when you have 2FA.
I have some accounts which has weak password, some even already in haveibeenpwned; but no problem for years because it got 2FA as well.

Password alone without 2FA is okay, as long you can ensure no malware/keylogger enter your system.
Which is a risk.

Forcing your users to change their password routinely is bad policy, it motivates your users to use weak password and/or store it insecurely, and other unexpected behaviours.

SMS 2FS sucks because it can be intercepted and/or snooped - no, this is not just a theory, this happens rather routinely in my country.

That's why we built Usermaven.com, a privacy-friendly website and product analytics tool.

Our website analytics module is simple and gets the job done in one single easy-to-use dashboard.

However, if you want to dig deep, you can use funnels, journeys and other features to get more insights out of our analytics.

Usermaven collects all client-side events automatically so it makes it really easy for marketing teams to get insights without involding devs.

We also offer simple ready-made reports for SaaS businesses to get product insights.
> We started with "probable billions" on climate-related PR and you replied with evidence of millions,

Again you omit the salient detail that "probable billions" referred to an entire industry and the (conservative) $33m (offered as a simple example in relation to your claim of "I could only find $10k!") is the contribution from only a single component of that industry. Classic goalpost shifting, which is why it's fruitless to engage.
This is the answer for step 1. Figure out if there’s a market and figure out what that product is worth. You doing it manually is like a prototype but it’s actually providing value to your customers more than just hypotheticals without you spending resources building anything.

This approach is also forcing you to interact with potential customers. The value to you of those relationships is both quantifiable in terms of revenue but also unquantifiable in terms of learnings. Do as much as you can to learn about your customers and your product before spending anything on building it. This is the definition of MVP.

Ask HN: As a SE, what's ur biggest challenge/reason for NOT reading tech books?
Basically this is about a professor who believes in meritocracy and race blindness, and is angry that this isn’t considered acceptable for professorship.

It doesn’t really go into whether or not the professors opinion is a valid opinion based on factual evidence for the existence of meritocracy and the benefits of race-blindness. But he could also have gone into a statement advocating for accessibility or veterans access instead, such as saying he would ensure his lab and research location will be wheelchair accessible and that any trials component of his research will be available in formats compatible with deafness or blindness. Or does he not believe in those either? What about having flexible work hours so parents can raise children, or older students can live their adult lives (which will benefit veterans)?

This article is myopic and implies that DEI is thing. I actually think that belief is just as lacking in diverse thinking as it is accusing DEI to be.

I don't understand how people still trust corporations.

The default assumption should be that corporations (especially large and powerful ones) lie all the time, unless proven otherwise.

> But you can favor people for other reasons, which may result in more people of a certain race. That doesnt violate the Civil Rights Act.

I don't know where you got that idea from but it's not true. There's plenty of precedent that using a proxy for a protected class to discriminate violates the CRA.

If elite institutions have favored people based on a protected class in the past, then preferring their children is likely to perpetuate that same discrimination in many cases (religion, race, ethnicity) that are inherited or inculcated. Obviously not for others (gender, sexual orientation, veteran status) that aren't inherited.

I saw that you were supportive of ending affirmative action. This is basically the same thing.
A Reddit thread on r/grammar (https://www.reddit.com/r/grammar/comments/fxahta/does_the_wo...) involves a poster asking a genuine question about the alleged word 'dwelve'. The answering commenter speculates that the author is conflating 'delve' and 'dwell'.

Another comment, added years later, admits the same confusion.
A DEI statement can instead be about costing a lab environment compatible with people who have autism and other social disabilities. Especially as a professor who will be expected to mentor other students and conduct research, the professor can say they have first hand knowledge on how to foster a space friendly to the neurodivergent.
I'll play along with your attempt at armchair psychology. What makes you special that you are immune to this effect you propose I suffer from? Are you not just seeing what you want to see? Why is your simulation of causality better than mine?

> WvDial is a modem dialer and nobody uses modems anymore.

I was using dial up until probably 2007 or 2008, and I was certainly using wvdial with it. The reason I was using wvdial is because it was the only option that actually worked. I think I tried to get Gnome's GUI to work, but was never able to. I think I still have the non-winmodem PCI card too, spent a lot of money (for a teenager) on it.

I don’t understand how you’re positioning this. It seems like you’re saying they have extra compliance because they accept federal funds.

I don’t disagree. So what? This has nothing to do with literacy tests. Are you suggesting legacy admissions discriminate by race? As I mentioned there is an unequal outcome but equal outcomes are not required.

Is your company called Black Mirror ? :-)
I returned it not because it wasn’t perfect, but because its list of issues was too long. With exception to the antiglare coating grain (it was one of the most bothersome), I could’ve lived with some of its problems if they weren’t so numerous. No monitor comes totally problem free after all.

The other issue is its cost. Expectations raise alongside price, and at an MSRP of $3200 they’re pretty high, and this monitor in my opinion doesn’t meet the bar… with its build quality, problems, and lack of polish it’d maybe make sense at half that price, but even then that antiglare coating would make it a hard sell. They’d need to at least change the coating to make it resemble that of a more traditional matte monitor (which has no grain or sparkle effect).

And you’re right, there isn’t really an alternative except the Pro Display XDR, which is priced far beyond what many of us would find reasonable, uses increasingly dated local dimming tech, and has no extra functions beyond the hub on its back. That’s part of why I was disappointed: everything was lined up for Dell to have been able to knock this one out of the park — it would’ve been easy — but they didn’t.
