This YouTube video talks about the population of Ireland and how it hasn't changed much in 200 years - the potato famine and the resulting emigration out of Ireland have dampened the country's fortunes, while nearby countries have increased by 2x-5.4x.

Or they could actually properly support and maintain OpenGL (or OpenGL ES, even). Or they could offer Vulkan. They don't even need to be native implementations, they could be Metal wrappers maintained by Apple. It doesn't take much.

On Windows you've been able to use OpenGL if you want, literally forever, because there was always a baseline version of it available with the OS (and then if you installed video drivers, you got a GOOD version of OpenGL.) Now you have the option of native Vulkan if you have drivers too. All of this is maintained collaboratively by Microsoft and the GPU vendors' driver teams. You don't even need a GPU, Windows has shipped software rasterizers for Direct3D literally forever as well (and the modern software rasterizer, WARP, is actually quite fast)

And on Linux you can either use OpenGL (natively), Vulkan (natively), or Direct3D (via Proton), and all three perform great and are reliable, maintained collaboratively by the Linux community and GPU vendors' driver teams.

Meanwhile on Mac your option is to write your own custom Metal backend, or hope that an emulation layer you get from a third party like MoltenVK will work good enough for your purposes and won't break when your end users install an OS X update, since Apple is happy to break backwards compatibility for any reason any time they want. If the build of MoltenVK your app ships with breaks you need to integrate a new version and ship updates to everyone.
Thank you for your comment and for the advice! I was thinking to add both crypto and stocks heatmap in the future.
Now that you mention it, the electric connection in my home in Tokyo was much worse than the one I have in Calgary. They might have connections of 60 amps [1] or less where I lived (whereas my home in Calgary has a 100 amp connection which can be upgraded to 200 if I paid for it)

This hypothetical only holds true if so-called “tokenized” founders don’t have an inherit desire to succeed on the same level as any other founder.

I really can’t think of any founder I’ve ever met who would not take a pot of money because of certain strings attached (though I’ve heard of extremely privileged founders who can say yes/no based on track record or reputation). In fact, I see founders contort their vision every which way to meet specific investment criteria.

Similarly, I don’t know any VC who at least wouldn’t try to be in compliance AND find good investments. Maybe they would try and then default to the perspective you’ve described but I think it’s much more likely they would try to cook the stats (given the overall lack of accountability in the space) before propping up some “token” founder-in-name-only (again, an assumption I’d challenge).

>So they aren't considering at all how easy is the autofill password feature with a password manager

Passwords are a nightmare for both users and service providers for a variety of reasons. And password autofill is a bandaid at best.

If I had a quarter for the number of times I've personally used a password manager to auto generate a password which was then either reject by the website due to absurd password complexity requirements, or had the password seemingly accepted but in reality silently truncated behind the scenes....

I know you're commenting on a Google blog post, but FWIW Apple acknowledges password managers/autofill in the "Deploy passkeys at work" talk from WWDC 2023:

"Let’s look at a side-by-side comparison of the experience of creating a new password versus creating a new passkey. As you can see, creating a passkey is significantly faster and easier than creating a password. Just Face ID and you’re done. Now that we’ve looked at creation, let’s compare the experience of signing back in. With a password, the user has to remember and type in the password. With a passkey, they just Face ID and they’re done. A password manager can help improve the experience, but even the best password manager can’t compete with the user experience of passkeys. You are used to having to make tradeoffs between better security and a better user experience. Passkeys achieve something rare: great security and a great user experience."

All those issues were obvious from the day zero, and raised multiple times by many people. They're deliberately ignored by the stakeholders.

They strongly want to lock you in to their own authentication platforms (iCloud Keychain, Windows Hello, 1Password*), that's why they don't want to address this.

It's impossible they're not aware about those issues. Anyone with a brain and some technical expertise would come up with those questions in an evening or two, and Passkeys were worked on for months. To best of my awareness, there is no official acknowledgement (support replies "no, you can't do this" doesn't count, that's just restating facts, not acknowledging an issue).

*) Ok, 1Password says they're all about user freedoms and that it's up to user to decide where they store their passkeys - but that's what they say, not what they do. What they do is indistinguishable from Apple and Microsoft.
Letting everyone “choose for themselves” “what is and isn’t disinformation” is really not an argument that stands up to even the most gentle questioning.

> > There isn't any effective difference between "assume false" and "no evidence for it, so we assume false"

> This is very unclear to me, but if what you mean is something like "There is no practical difference between supposing something to be false and supposing the thing to be so unlikely that it shouldn't be taken into account in one's decisions" I might agree with you

Not sure what part of that is unclear to you, but feel free to ask clarifying questions. I did indeed phrase what I said correctly. Your phrasing is also correct. To tie the two together, it is as likely, with our currently-zero affirmative evidence, that the teapot exists, as it is, with our currently-zero affirmative evidence, that the fighting staircase theory is true. Thus, if you effectively treat the teapot's existence as false, you should also effectively treat the fighting staircase theory as false.

> > The reason we assume it's false is tangential to the fact that we assume that both the teapot theory and the fighting staircase theory are false.

> I'm not sure what the "it" is in the "it's" part of this sentence, so I can't respond to this part of your comment.

Again, you're always free to ask me questions if you don't understand something! In this case, "it" refers to the teapot theory and the fighting staircase theory, since the two are analogous here.

> Green hydrogen production is minuscule and relatively inefficient and costly. Most uses of hydrogen today are neither green nor sustainable. Or carbon free. And that's going to stay like this for a while.

Your other points hold, but I don't think this one is necessarily so (depending what you mean by "a while"): electrolysis is so incredibly trivial that I suspect it'll become green as fast as the grid in general, and if current exponential trend continues, that's going to be almost everything within a decade.

If the current exponential continues. It might, but such is never assured.

The united states has a population of ~332 million as of 2021 numbers. You're saying that a software startup's selection of available engineers is so limited that it's not possible to approach general population demographics?

In 2021 alone, over 100k people graduated with bachelor's degrees in computer science. That sample size is too small to approach general population demographics?

Okay, let's lower the bar. Why doesn't your staffing at least approximate the demographics of computer science graduates? Or even narrowing it further - let's say your startup needs the absolute best - people with PhDs in computer science? (According to the 2021 numbers, ~2500 people and 25% female)

You can argue over what the numbers should look like and how we should achieve those numbers but it's a cop-out to claim it's impossible or "too hard" due to a limited supply of hires.

In my opinion, graphql is a good detector of companies that want to be "cool" and thinks that they do software well as they follow dogmatically things like clean code.

The US has been campaigning against encryption for 30-40 years. The problem is that encryption has to be strong. Every time you weaken it, you leave yourself open to 'bad actors' who would like nothing better than to steal your identity, or drain your bank accounts, etc. The modern world relies on encryption for the world to work.

No encryption = no cashless society, no online banking, we'd be back to writing checks and we all know that they weren't particularly safe either.

Can you store a passkey on a YubiKey? Or just buy a $100 android phone just for passkey backup to keep at home?
> Let met ask you: has that discovery made you stop using your iPhone, or storing passwords or other critical data in your iCloud?

Yes, it has (the latter). I was a big fan of (non-synchronized) on-device passkeys, but this has significantly changed the threat model for me.

I use a third-party password manager exclusively now, and I'll probably be using its synchronized Passkey implementation too if it turns out to be any good.

As soon as Apple starts offering a different set of security trade-offs (e.g. make usage of the recovery key mandatory when resetting my iCloud password, or at least implement a timed lockout), I'd gladly start using iCloud Passkeys and maybe also its password manager.
Show HN: A lightweight open-source web analytics for webdevs
I wanted to share something I've been working on recently: Statum, a handy web analytics tool. https://github.com/extractumio/statum

The journey began when I found myself frequently needing simple web analytics for my projects. I tried Google Analytics, especially GA4, and realized it was quite complex and, at times, not very accurate, especially when I wanted to view stats for the current day or recent hours. Then I tested a few fancy startup solution but ended up with way too expensive plans the expect me to subscribe (I'm not that rich to pay $99/month for every pet project web analytics). This drove me to think, "Why not create a tool that bridges the gap between these complex/expensive platforms and the real needs of developers like me?"

So, I designed Statum to seamlessly parse both Nginx and Apache server logs. It filters all necessary data, including IP, http method, URL, and user agent. What's more, it can categorize these user-agents into mobile users, bots, and others.
Besides that...to provide a holistic view, Statum augments local log file statistics with web-based JavaScript analytics, offering even deeper insights, especially into returning visitors.

With Statum, you can quickly get a grip on:
- The number of visitors and a breakdown between bots and real users.
- Identify visitors as unique entities (tied to the browser).
- Client-side parameters such as screen resolution, OS, language.
- Unique user-agents and much more.

I've aimed to make the setup process straightforward (it's just one js line to insert into your website template and update a few paths in .py file to parse logs from the right place).

Currently, it does not have UI, I use just a text output from sqlite, the default query to get the number of visitors and return visitors is in gen_stats.sh so you can enhance it depending on what you want to analyze.

I'd appreciate any feedback you have on the project. Please keep in mind that this is an initial version and it's not designed for high-traffic websites.

> A competent organisation will have a root certificate trusted on all machines so you won't be ignoring certificate errors.

You definitely need that but ask anyone who’s done it and they’ll tell you that flushing out all of the different places interception causes problems with pinned certs, protocol level incompatibilities, etc. which inevitably someone will try to solve by turning off some security measures. This will inevitably include this like your help desk people trying to be helpful and not realizing that the first hit on Stack Exchange suggesting adding “-k” is not actually a good idea.

This is exacerbated by the low quality of the vendor appliances most places use to implement these policies. For example, Palo Alto will break the Windows SChannel certificate revocation check - there’s still no workaround but I guarantee you won’t know all of the places where that’s been disabled. They also don’t support the secure session renegotiation extension to TLS 1.2 (RFC 5746 from 2010) which I know because OpenSSL 3 started requiring that and had to stop multiple teams from “solving” using a terrible solution from the first hit on Google. Amusingly, they do correctly implement TLS 1.3 so I’ve been able to fix this for multiple open source projects by getting them to enable 1.3 in their CDN configuration.

Batteries mostly outlast the EVs they are in and are being recycled when they don't. Most EVs produced since they entered the market a bit over a decade ago are actually still driving fine. Most of them even have their original battery. You can get some really nice second hand models at this point. Of course they hold their value pretty well too. That's why manufacturers give eight year warranties on their batteries and drive trains. Basically, very little risk for them.

Hybrid is for people that are confused about what they want or need. You basically get the worst of both worlds: lots of maintenance and fuel cost, pollution, and they aren't that much more efficient. Or green. Lots of fiddly bits that break down and need maintenance. And the fuel economy isn't that great either. And the battery range is tiny.

Range anxiety is going to be a thing for ICE and hybrid car owners pretty soon. As petrol demand collapses, the infrastructure for filling up cars is going to start disappearing. Starting with the least profitable, remote petrol stations in the middle of nowhere that are already struggling to get by. What happens when 20-30% of their customers start driving EVs that they mostly charge at home? Exactly, they won't survive that. Not a chance. And of course, that 20-30% is just a brief moment in time on the way to 50, 80, and eventually 100%. Between now and 2030, there's going to be increasingly more struggling gas station owners. And beyond that it's going to be a massacre. Year on year declines in business with no end in sight.
I'm not really sure how you read those and think the shady activity is on the part of the government.
