As long as phone screens continue to be perfect for handheld entertainment and phone apps continue to be designed for infinite thoughtless consumption, then the answer will remain "yes".

I 1000% blame social media companies for intentionally designing their apps and the content presented on them to drive engagement and taking advantage of psychology that makes people want to scroll while they are driving, for example.

Shor's algorithm also solves the discrete logarithm problem, so it also theoretically breaks Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman. That is, it breaks both of the main types of key-exchange algorithms (as well as SRP) in use today with TLS. (Not PSK, although that in turn isn't usable in a limited-trust environment like the broader internet.)

My understanding is that any use of post-quantum crypto today is layered on top of existing crypto (so breaking one is insufficient to compromise the channel), in large part due to the relative immaturity of the field that you've mentioned.

The threat model here is not necessarily that we expect anyone to have sufficiently capable quantum computers (and/or algorithmic breakthroughs) in the immediate future, but that a potential adversary might store some encrypted comms that they can later decrypt. Perfect forward secrecy doesn't protect you against an algorithmic break.
Well they did extend terms in 1998 but I agree the retroactive part is unlikely as is another extension.
Two tiny hacks changed my lifelong procrastination and people-pleasing nature.

1. Instead of “what will they think?” always ask yourself the alternative question, “what do I want?”. This saves you a lot of time and trouble. Do what you like to see what people will say. Make it a fun game.

2. If something takes less than 2 minutes, just go do it. Make it your “kick”. After few weeks, work your way to turn 2 minutes to 5 then 10 minutes. You will get so much done because of the inertia.

Played around with coverage-guided fuzzing using honggfuzz and Intel BTS/PT a while back. Didn't have much time to fine-tune, but it seemed solid. It'd need a couple of months to properly dial in and see real results. The coverage was increasing, and aligning with the symbol tables, it was hitting the right parts of the kernel.

Superstars are why I don’t try harder and am less engaged. They take all of the interesting ownership and inject themselves into every process and space for communication. I wait for these people to burn out and want to actually be a team member instead of a productivity bully hoarding opportunity for themselves. They want to be the first on everything so they can influence it to be more how they like, the rest of team be damned. They don’t care if the rest of the team feels unmotivated from a lack of ownership, at least they got theirs? I don’t understand the mentality.

I love this sentiment, and I'm glad you made this! I love reading different syntaxes for programming languages. You should be proud. Writing programming languages is _hard_.

I linked a 4h video on that which goes into painstaking details, which you skipped. It is in the context of content creators but can be extrapolated to various areas.

And about intelligence, what do you mean by intelligence? ChatGPT is certainly not thinking like a human, if that is what you mean, but it can reason really well when given directions. That taxes demo when gpt4 launched is certainly a demonstration of emergent cognition in the predictive system. So depending on how you see intelligence, ChatGPT certainly shows a lot of it, if we only let go of human constraints of cognition.

There’s another way that feels totally unnatural at first, but puts the subject (the most important part) of the commit message first. It makes the commit about the change and the code, rather than the author. This is how we do it in all of our projects. I fought it at first, but I was wrong and it’s a lot better.

I've tried with two different shows, both times the first selection starts at S01E01, the second selection was I'd guess a high rated episode from a later series.

If I say selection one is better, selection one becomes the next episode, S01E02, while selection two stays the same episode. If I say either or selection two is better, selection one is picked at random and selection two stays the same episode. And then if I go back to selection one be being better, selection one moves back to the next episode, ie S01E03 now.

Is that the intended behavior? As I quickly got bored of saying series one was better than this one episode in series three.

To be pragmatic, the number of times I’ve had to fix or outright create CI for other teams because they didn’t bother to add these basics is too damn high.

For anything with my team (or personal projects), where I can be guaranteed everyone understands exactly what I’ve set up, I add a pre-commit hook to fix minor linting issues and then add the change to the commit. If black, tf fmt, shfmt, etc. can just fix the problem, then do so, and don’t bother asking me if I’m sure.
I recently bought an adjustable bed base which has USB ports on both sides. Each port has a bright blue light that illuminates the whole bedroom at night. I don't use them so covered both with black electrical tape. Problem solved. I've had the same problem with several desk lamps that lit up the world with that blue light even when turned off. I returned a couple of those immediately.

But I looked through the reviews for all of the above and the issue wasn't even mentioned. I thought I was one of the few weirdos that care. It's nice to read here that I'm not alone in this. But we have to complain enough to make the manufacturers care.

This is awful advice. The test is there to prevent regression. Why would you change it to not only allow the wrong behavior, but to enforce it? Either fix the test or decide that you won't, in which case remove it. If neither option appeals to you then mark it as optional and let CI succeed with a warning. But changing the test to lock the wrong behavior? No, just no.
"But frankly it seems to me that he'd rather get the juice from claimed persecution than actually advance the field."

This is absolutely ad hominem. You're insinuating he's a fraud - without even knowing the math he's referencing - and then saying he's trying to milk a victimhood stance; eloquent ad hominem, ad hominem nonetheless.

And the rest of what you said is fine - but throwing unsubstantiated shade/ad hominem as you walk away from the challenge is something else.

I'm curious though also, what "conspiracy theories" are you claiming he propagates - and without referencing evidence? That term is often thrown away as as ad hominem to be dismissive and demonizing as well.

Show HN: I built an app hidden under the MacBook's notch for quick file access
Details below ↓

Why not use Finder directly?

1. Every time I need to access files, I find myself navigating through layers of folders to locate the files below each project.
2. The Finder window often gets obscured by the active working window, such as the browser, making it quite challenging to drag and drop files.

With Folder Hub, you can create multiple workspaces, each representing a specific project folder. For instance, you can customize a desktop workspace for accessing files on the desktop, where the names and access location are entirely up to you.
When you need to retrieve files from the desktop, simply move your mouse to the notch, and the Folder Hub window will appear. You can open files or even drag and drop files into the browser for uploading, as shown in the website.

Additionally, you can directly drag and drop files into Folder Hub to pin commonly used folders to a specific workspace for future access.
Because the other components are extremely useful for implementing a desktop user interface, and you need the other components anyway to implement the user's web browser, of course.

Why isn't this obvious? I already said "when you needed to pop up a browser window on the desktop ... simply and efficiently use the same browser that's running the desktop environment". Did you read what I wrote?

It’s not. They are different things and have different purposes. Saying you’re a merger is like saying you’re a left turner. You can be an ambiturner.

Why restrict yourself to running WASM on a canvas element? Maybe the desktop wants to draw something with html and css and svg. As they tend to do. Did you run DaedalOS? Do you think that's all implemented with WASM and a canvas element?

And it's not about cloning Windows 95, it's about providing a flexible extensible platform for making much better desktop user interfaces than Windows 95 and everything else.

For sure, it's an expensive gamble. For me, I took my car from the dealer to the tuner on day 1. We actually found some factory issues like turbo hoses disconnected. Then I replaced a few parts for compatibility and performance and tuned it Stage II. That was 6 years ago and car still runs A1 (and I drive it like I stole it). Never brought it in for servicing.
This is my one complaint as well. I really like the idea of this website, and it seems to be made well! I tried out Star Trek TNG, and regardless of which I picked, I was always comparing against the same episode on the right side (Season 4 Episode 15, which I think is the exact middle episode of its run?). I know all the comparisons must be made eventually, but it would be nice to swap different episodes in so that I'm not comparing every single episode against one at a time.

Yeah, I'm afraid so. At the start, selection two would always be the same as the algorithm doesn't know anything about the standing of any episode; it's trying to decide where in the array to place it (above or below selection two).

It might be worth seeing if I can randomise the episodes displayed, if only so it doesn't feel so repetitive.
