> Using these flows you end up becoming as much an expert in the technology as you would've been just implementing authentication and identity yourself.

I mostly agree with this. The only thing I'd say is that Auth0 when I used it did abstract away at least the different flavours of Oauth2/OIDC, and we just coded against Auth0's implementation.

Which is a crazy situation to find ourselves in as an industry, but there we are.

I suspect a larger theme at play, whether it be the universally disliked flat UI design that permeates all platforms or how company logo fonts are all converging to a bland sans serif [1], is that UX designers are not only disconnected from the U in UX, the Users, but are encouraged to have a self-image as being superior in sensibilities and thus, free from having to deign to listen to the inferior User. How else can one explain how the Windows UX team supposedly uses Apple Macs, lol? I would fire that bunch and replace them with a more grounded set that actually uses the product they design ("eat your own dog food"). Stop the starving artist impersonation while sipping on $7 lattes and listen to the actual user, IMHO.

I used to scuba dive, and yes - can "click my ears" while breathing freely through my nose and/or mouth. We were taught to use Valsalva when feeling pressure during ascent/descent, and after a while I found I was able to just use the right muscles voluntarily instead.
What makes you think this is a problem in Google's eyes? If you can't reasonably see the street names then you are much more likely to use Google Directions, which is the precise behavior they want to encourage in this case. From your and my eyes and all users this is a real frustration and a detail all of us hate; and clearly Google could fix it easily if they wanted to. But knowing how they benefit from making the street names hard to find - for the reason in my first sentence - why would they fix it?
Yes, me too. An ENT also told me that my tinnitus was muslce-related and I got huge relief (low tones totally disappeared) from some good physiotherapy and osteopathy. (See my other comment)
The problem is you are asked to move your DNS SOA/NS to CloudFlare, they won't let you just slap a CNAME/A+AAAA, and that could be disruptive to your setup - there's no single standard for managing DNS programmatically, many DNS vendors provide extensions (such as GeoDNS, AWS "ALIAS" records, fallback) etc.

I've done my share of nasty DNS hacks to make a customer happy; even without hacks you do want some order in your setup so you'll end up with a huge piece of Terraform or a glued-together Python script. Changing DNS providers can be extremely painful.
Does it support hotreload?

To me that's the piece that's missing in all these new languages

Being able to hot patch code saves you from having to recompile everything and reload the state of your program, saves lot of time

Haven’t worked with esp32s at this level but isn’t this stuff in their specs like any other SoC?
Yep. If you keep off the “latest trends frameworks” and just keep it as vanilla and simple as possible web development can be productive, scalable and pleasant.
It is. I have 48GB of VRAM. But exl2 is more efficient, and can be quantized to partial bits. So you can run things like 4.75bpw, etc.

I can run 120b models at 3bpw.

The larger models like this are less affected (increased perplexity) by the quantization.
I can report that the closest I've came before is with PDFMiner (https://pypi.org/project/pdfminer/) for Python. The benefit of this one is that it retains styling information, so that italics and the like can be retained, at least with some post-processing (I think one might need to convert certain CSS-classes to actual <i> or <em> tags).

The other option I have started looking into is the PDFCPU library for Go. It is a bit more low-level than PDFMiner, but one gets out very well structured info, that seem it might be possible to post-process quite well, for one's particular use case and PDF layouts: https://github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu

I also now tried the Marker tool in the OT, and it seems to do a reasonable job. It did intermingle some columns though, at least in some tricky cases such as when there were a round shaped image in between the two columns. One note is that Marker doesn't seem to retain styling like italics though.
This is pretty absurd to me.

I'm not a lawyer so don't quote me on this, but here in Brazil, it seems the losing side has to pay the winning side's lawyers and other expenses.

The gospels were not, in fact, written by disciples. They were all written well after any disciples would have died.

But we know how they were written. Whoever wrote "Mark" made up things for his Jesus to say based on Paul's opinions, cribbing plot elements liberally from the Septuagint and from Homer. "Matthew" cribbed from Mark and made up whatever he liked. Luke cribbed from Mark and Matthew, and made up more stuff. John did a full-on rewrite cribbing from Mark, Matthew, and Luke for theme and plot.

If there was a living, breathing Jesus, we have no hint of anything he said while he lived. Certainly Paul writing in the 50s and the authors of 1 Clement writing in the 60s never heard of any Jesus having said anything they found meaningful enough to mention. Paul is very clear that every single thing he knew about Jesus came from ancient scripture and visions, period. 1 Peter also offers no hint that he ever met a live Jesus.

None of the early 2nd & 3rd century Christian writers, Ignatius, Justin, Origen, etc. had ever heard of Nero slaughtering Christians. Pliny the Younger, who had a personal copy of his uncle Pliny's detailed history of Nero's reign, and spent his life in the justice system, also had no clue about anybody executing Christians for anything but illegal assembly. So the best evidence says that the early Roman persecutions were forged later.
The current in-place energy plan in Germany and many other countries is to use renewables for when the weather is optimal, and to use fossil fuels in order to balance the grid and to power the nation when the weather is not optimal and demand exceed that of supply. It is also the future energy plan for the majority of this century.

New fossil fueled power plants is being built, and existing one is being modernized rather than decommissioned. They view fossil fuels as being good as far as providing a "reserve energy", meaning the energy needed when the weather do not produce enough energy.

If we we all agree that air pollution and fossil fuels are bad, then this plan is bad. It is very bad. It so bad that we should not be doing it, and we should definitively not have it as the primary plan for this century.

If we agree on this, then the comparison should be between the long list of alternatives where fossil fuels are not involved.
Not sure if tinnitus but I've heard a ringing in super-quiet environments since I was a kid.

Mid-30s now and a few months back I had a case where the ringing was very noticeable and it lasted a few weeks. I think what set it off was some hearing damage from using high-frequency equipment without hearing protection but it was definitely an experience that I'm not keen on repeating.

Once I noticed that the background ringing was louder than normal I couldn't un-hear it and it was starting to drive me nuts.
One approach you could take is to license the code (or simply the tricks) to big tech companies. They can use the tricks, but must pay you x amount. You can provide technical support for implementation and benchmarking.

That's how I would make profit from what you're doing as many big tech companies have already achieved (and more) of what you claim.

I know this as I work in such a company. However, I'd bet they'd pay a fair amount for new solutions that differ from their own.
" the most used thing in the context menu for me now hidden"

For me as well, but I think it is crazy, that it is usually still enabled by default for EVERYONE. I had to calm quite some people, that they did not break their internet accidently for opening dev tools. Now it surely would be nice, if the majority could make use of that button, but the majority ain't devs and so they should not have that option one click away from buttons they do care about, like copy and paste.
I've been playing around with RouterOS, but it's not the easiest thing to get started with. There's plenty of documentation, but it often feels like they really want you to take the Mikrotik training, rather than you figuring it out for yourself. It's really interesting hardware though.

Here's a kagi summary

The video ranks different web browsers on a tier list from spyware tier to base tier based on privacy, usability, and other factors.
Brave is placed in excellent tier for its good default privacy settings and built-in ad blocking, though some dislike its use of cryptocurrency.
Firefox is only decent tier due to its many annoying default features, but can be excellent with the right privacy-focused user.js file.
Icecat is decent tier for free software purists due to its use of LibreJS blocking non-free scripts, though this breaks many sites.
Librewolf is excellent tier as an easy to use private version of Firefox without much configuration needed.
Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi can be good but have limitations from not being fully open source.
Closed source browsers like Chrome, Edge and Opera are automatically placed in spyware tier due to privacy concerns.
Qutebrowser is decent tier for power users due to its keyboard-focused design but has issues with advanced ad blocking.
Waterfox is excellent tier as a lightweight Firefox fork, though its ownership by an ad company concerns some.
Overall, Brave, Librewolf and hardened Firefox are recommended as having the best balance of privacy, usability and customizability.

Well for folks building out cloud infrastructure, building your own networking stack and registry is a good way to achieve platform independence, without which you'll be left at a disadvantage and vulnerable to the whims of cloud providers who may or may not extend volume discounts, thus indirectly harming your ability to compete.
I can run current Linux distros on 15 year old hardware without issue. If the vendor wants to drop support earlier, that's up to them, but it's a reason why people want open drivers.

Also, local stores around me still sell new GT 710s. Probably has something to do with Nvidia not making any low end GPUs since.

The great thing about open source is that anyone can fork the code and maintain support themselves. You don't get that option with proprietary drivers.
The Freemasons today may be obsolete as a revolutionary political force (note Philippe Egalite’s comparison of Freemasonry to a candle and revolution to the sun), but the primary reason Catholics cannot be Freemasons is theological.

I went with using Keycloak for a platform I'm developing right now and it feels like a very overcomplicated enterprise piece of software - it still does work and has the features that I need (notably: an SSO login portal, user registration, password resets and social login), but definitely needed a certain amount of time to configure correctly and had odd bugs, like me needing the following in my reverse proxy configuration:

SetEnv proxy-initial-not-pooled 1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

otherwise connections would randomly drop. I was looking for other ways to make development a bit easier and also settled on mod_auth_openidc, which is an Apache module that lets it act like a Relying Party and handle lots of the heavy lifting (protecting endpoints, refreshing tokens etc.) for me, and lets me work with just a few headers that are passed to the protected resources: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc

It works, but I'm still not happy - I realize that there are many types of attacks that have historically been a problem and that certain OpenID Connect flows try to protect against, in addition to the fact that if I wrote my own security code it'd almost certainly be worse and have vulnerabilities (in the words of Eoin Woods: "Never invent security technology"), and it's a good thing to follow standards... but the whole thing is such a pain. Both OpenID Connect, Keycloak and configuring mod_auth_openidc.

Right now I'm moving permissions/roles back into the app DB, because I don't want to have to work with the Keycloak REST API every time I want to change what a user can or cannot do in the system, in addition to permissions which might only apply conditionally (one user might be related to multiple organizations, having different permissions in the context of each).

Regardless, it's nice that there are more pieces of software out there to choose from! Do manage your expectations when working with OpenID Connect, though.

So a reason to add a noise gate into your effects chain. Hard to guess what you are typing from a stream of zeros.

Right, that’s why I said: “This is the sort of thing that you would need to include in an Additional Protocol.”

I think some people were confused why they were calling it an emblem. It’s an analogy to the protective emblems agreed in the GCs and APIII. But analogy alone won’t make this binding, and the ICRC knows that. This “technical solution” isn’t like a solution that solves the problem today. It’s the first step in showing that doing the work of another AP is possible and needed.
> Your nose for example is visible but gets ignored

To me, it's anything that's covered in one eye, but visible by the other, that can
get "ignored". It's just binocular vision at work. Similar to the blind spot thing you mentioned.

I've seen my blood vessels too, but they didn't just flash a light in my eyes, they had me look into a machine that did a full retinal scan. Now that was fun, because it was 15 minutes of "wtf your eyelashes are too long they keep getting in the way. keep trying"
And the "scholarly consensus" is based on phantoms and will-o-the-wisps that evaporate upon examination. The scholarly consensus among scholars who have actually examined the evidence in detail and published under peer review is unanimous that he most likely did not exist; and that if such a one did, nothing written in gospels/acts describes anything any actual person did or said.

Wholesale fabrication was the normal mode of production for religious literature at the time. Why would exactly four gospels, out of the many dozens, be different, that way? And why exactly those four and not some other? Their contradictions demonstrate their authors were not interested in accurately recording anything.

We need look no farther than 2 Peter to find dire warnings to pay no attention to the other Christians saying Jesus had not walked the Earth; so we know that was a common enough belief to worry its late forger. Of course anything they wrote was burnt in short order, along with them.

I so think this and could correlate with the search engine. It seems the vision of organizing the world data was misdirected to another side. Google is forgetting many sites and its search is subpar and doesn't target obvious SEO Spam endeavors. Finally, don't forget how they increase the number of ads in the search results at the top, you need to really think where the real results start.

Business wise speaking, it seems that Google is aware that the clock is ticking for several of their offerings. This is even beyond the antitrust case. Microsoft Bing finds stuff that Google doesn't. Something impossible to think a few years ago.

I work in data science for a pharma/chemical company. Broadly speaking, our team is applying machine learning to chemistry and biology-related problems. Those are usually falsifiable and can and will be validated through lab experiments.

The main problem here is that experiments tend to be expensive - depending on the problem a single data point can easily cost from $100+ (sample preparation and measurements) to $100k+ (e.g. synthesis of a new compound). So our datasets are often small, and there is some barrier for lab colleagues to trust/try out some new ML model vs their status quo.

But it is quite rewarding when it works and one also gets to interact with people from different disciplines on all sorts of interesting problems :)
I.. don't know. Even the creator of the model doesn't know why it worked out so well.

It really is better (at reasoning) than the 70b models when I use it. Though some people reported that it makes spelling mistakes.
