The problem is that login without SSO usually means even more fiddly and bespoke password and MFA implementations.

Can I paste in the password field? What and how many characters are allowed? Is it fed into a properly salted KDF? Can the password be intercepted by common logging/monitoring tools? How do I reset my password? Are there MFA options other than either SMS or TOTP? Can I have multiple MFA options active simultaneously, in case I lose access to one? Does an attacker having access to my email bypass all the other security measures? etc.

The support burden of doing that right has to be higher than that of doing SSO right. Of course, many won't prioritize hardening the open core security model until a large client suffers a breach, and a large client won't usually be using the open core anyway.

However, I actually agree with you about SSO implementations being too fiddly and bespoke, and moreover even doing OAuth2/OIDC the right way is tricky. Many/most guides online focus on using auth tokens to talk to first-party or tightly integrated APIs. Whereas, when using an OIDC provider for SSO, you actually just want proof-of-identity. Do I get an auth token and then call an identity endpoint? If so, do they support PKCE in the code flow? Do I get an ID token and then validate it? If so, do they support nonces in the flow? Which algorithms will be used to sign the token, and where do I get the keys? Even the major social-login providers don't all agree on the answers to these questions.
This has always been my approach really. Use curl for basic stuff, use a full featured repl for deeper exploration. I use Ruby but same idea.

I never quite saw enough value in tools like postman. Usually either what you are doing is trivial enough for vanilla curl or complex enough to warrant reaching for a general purpose programming language.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. If the information is maybe business confidential then yeah but at least acknowledge the requests with something.
I wish there had been a price tracker for walmart like there is for amazon (camelcamelcamel)

Because all the food as essentially doubled in price over the past three years, some only 150% but still, that's crazy.

It was a slow creep. And it feels like it was engineered by AI, not market demand.

generic, plain Corn Flakes used to be $1 for a 18 ounce box, they are now $2.25

MySQL and MariaDB both have enterprise editions, and they (completely understandably!) will not merge pull requests which attempt to re-implement enterprise-only features.
It's missing "Latency" at the beginning of the title, then it's very familiar to those who've seen them listed before.
Do they have better reliability though?

I was unable to find any reference to performance or architectural details. Memory bandwidth is very low for an ML-focused device. Price is extremely high.

What am I missing?
One of the things I realized from having support for lazy evaluation in Ruby's Enumerable is that while it's great on a very few occasions, as you say most of the time I want eager evaluation, and even most of the times where I don't care for any specific expression, it ends up being forced so close by anyway that it is in practice little different.

It changes how you think in a few very specific cases, but even a lot of situations where e.g. infinite series are helpful, expressing iterations over blocks that can terminate the iteration itself early removes any need for laziness.
There is nothing inherently wrong with highly-processed food. For one, the term "highly-processed" is often loosely used and subjectively defined. This is apparent in the fact you think canned foods are unhealthy, whereas the commenter responding to you sees nothing wrong with pasteurizing food in cans.

For two, highly-processed foods can contain nutritional value, the two aren't mutually exclusive. If the battle is against foods with little nutritional value then then just say that. "Highly-processed" is such a red herring in the nutrition industry.
They are related, but different genres. According to Wikipedia:

"Incremental game": just clicking to progress, perhaps not even that (just wait while the game plays itself, hence the "idle" moniker).

vs.

"Construction and management simulation". Requires -somewhat- more thought / planning about what resources are needed to achieve specific results, how to optimize use of those resources & so on.

I read this as: the latter is more interactive (choice-based, perhaps some strategy) than the former (thoughtless clicking / tapping or just wait).

Sub- & related genres emphasize different aspects of this process.

What comes to mind: how does this game compare to Factorio? What feature(s) might cause one to prefer one over the other?
So they can merge/not merge but they aren't allowed to talk/not talk? Just because I have an inbox doesn't mean I have to respond to everything that shows up in it.
> the industrial revolution and engines and mass scale production

This was enabled by the printing press. Immediately prior to the industrial revolution, printers printed how-to manuals on every topic they could think of.

It's not a surprise that the industrial revolution occurred in the area that invented and widely adopted printing presses.
> Can you imagine running a company that makes aeroplanes and not going to sleep each night panicking about all the lives you’re ferrying around up in the sky?

For my entire life, the most pervasive theme in executive leadership is that the _only_ responsibility of a company is to make money for its shareholders.

Boeing may reach a point where it has to stop killing passengers, but dead passengers aren’t an issue at all until it creates a major threat to their bottom line.

If you think it shouldn’t take many downed planes before that happens, then given the situation, the real question is why it hasn’t threatened their business enough yet.
Come on guys. If you are sending stuff that cannot be seen for some reason (potentially illegal on your (potentially) authoritarian (and this includes the US) country) do not use e-mail. It’s a protocol from decades ago when the web was gentle and naive. For SMTP to work lots of stuff must be readable by the MTAs handling the message. It is also highly centralized nowadays because it essentially works on a whitelist of what the big providers allow. Just give up.

I sometimes unironically say that JavaScript is a privilege that should only be granted to websites that actually need it. Most of the web is text and images. No Turing-complete client-side runtime environment is required to display that.

But I would also accept all those multimedia APIs (canvas, WebGL, WebGPU, everything audio and video, including the <video> tag) and some others (e.g. service workers and everything else app-like) requiring a permission. Again, most websites don't need them, so given the abuse potential, there's no reason why they should be openly available.
Cool, I wonder how more JS interpreters would affect the ecosystem.
Yeah, while governments indeed do not care too much about "piracy", this raises the threat that they will do something to stop it, and the punishment will be harsher.

Now I could do my own digging, or I could trust Murrays lawyers doing that for their law suite against LWT (no idea why I kept adding a N...). A law suite they lost. If LWT reporting were factually wrong, I assume it would have been brought up in court.
There are burdens on both sides and communication on both sides is important. I have had even the most simple reports receive antagonistic responses as if I was demanding (I wasn't) free work from the maintainers. That's unacceptable communication in my view. Any such communication will eliminate any willingness of mine that I had to help contribute.

> You were given something for free.

I wasn't given anything. Something was released into the open to be interacted with at some level. If a maintainer wants to complain about any interaction whatsoever, then take it private or disable issues, write a contributing (or non-contributing) guideline, and reject PRs professionally.

> That doesnt confer any rights, legal, moral or otherwise.

That's completely obvious. But like I said, a simple PR or issue filing does not imply a demand of the maintainer by the reporter or contributor. So you're basically showcasing what I'm saying isn't great, in that maintainers have this bias already set in their mind that any communication to them is a demand of their time and effort and a claim of rights, which it's very often not.
how does compare to the rather resources-hog postman? My go-to setup for quick apis was curl with fish, as postman was growing it became so bloated i'd rather stick to my curl.
> shouting down people you disagree with is wrong and illiberal and should not be tolerated in a healthy society (or company), independent of the particulars of the belief itself.

You wouldnt have even shouted at people spitting on black protestors eating in whites only diners?

In such a world where shouting people down you disagree with is forbidden you are forever stuck with the status quo.
a set of patches to run on the Repo works but it breaks when a big refactor happens upstream.
Maybe its my grug-brain showing up but could you not:

1) Clone the latest version of the tool

2) Apply the patches needed for this feature

3) Profit.

Or is there some reason why the change has to live in the "main" branch for the official project on github?
Plumbers will probably still be in a job in 20 years, and they earn decent $, so maybe point them towards that? ;)

You can fork this, otherwise it would not be open source by definition.
It's a slightly vague term. Greedflation is companies using existing inflation as cover to increase prices faster than costs thus increasing their profit margins.
I've submitted series-of-patches to open-source projects that I've worked on before contacting the project.

Partly this is because I wasn't sure if I could even implement the feature. Or, if I technically could, I wasn't sure that I'd be able to see the implementation through to the point it was mergeable (the number of half-started projects I have laying around...)

I didn't want to say "hey, I've got this great idea..." and then disappear into the aether and never deliver. Or, worse, have someone else contact the project with the same idea, and they say "Nah, Karellen is already working on that...", so they move on to something else, and the feature which could have been developed by this other person isn't, so it never happens.

But also, I wanted to give the maintainers a prototype they could look at and play with, rather than vapourware, to get real feedback.

If they say "no, that's not for us", well, I can always put up my own fork if I want to. And I can keep the branch for my local install, which I can continue to rebase or merge into upstream, because the feature is useful to me. Also, I learned a few things by creating the implementation - even if it doesn't go anywhere. The work is no less a waste of time than, e.g. doing the Advent Of Code.
If you outsource to anywhere, including within your own country, you've always got a game of telephone going on.

If you outsource to anywhere with a different language (which, from the US PoV kinda includes much of Europe, but less than you might expect from the national languages), what's lost in translation is comparable to the impact of machine natural language processing — so you get the same quality from ChatGPT etc., which is cool, but not quite good enough. (And when LLMs become that good, it will make a lot of people very sad).

If you outsource to poor countries, you also have to worry about the stability of the power grid and telecoms impacting your ability to communicate with the reliability you expect in corporate circles.

There's also a lot of variation in online security by nation, which forms part of the remote working rules in some companies: https://ncsi.ega.ee/ncsi-index/?order=rank&archive=1
I suspect all the “greedy companies jacking up prices” stories lately are in service of this year’s election cycle.

Trillions extra in government spending without a corresponding increase in production created high inflation. Now, like a frosting-smeared toddler standing next to an empty cake pan, they’re pointing the finger at the family dog. Greedy corporations, pay their fair share, we’ve seen this tired trope before.
Show me one goddamn "dwindling profit margin".
This is a systemic social problem, not a technology problem. If researchers wanted to double check every single one of their citations for subsequent retractions, they would simply have their graduate students do it.

The root of the problem is that it’s impossible to build a scientific career out of publishing negative results (assuming you can even publish them at all). What actually matters is that your original publication gets into a high tier journal and gets good press. Once that’s done, no one cares if what you published was garbage or not, because by the time anyone figures that out (if they ever do), you’ll have tenure, big fat multi-year grants, and will be out on the speaking circuit.
If ProtonMail was solely for users who want to maximize privacy, it'd be as difficult to use a ProtonMail address as your primary email as it is to do your normal web browsing through Tor.

Usually raw food is cheaper per calorie and macronutrients than any processed food. To me it seems that a box of kellogs costs like almost twice per gram of legumes. And they have the benefit of actually being tasty if properly prepared.

The emergence of the state probably could not have happened without writing. Steam engines and machine tools could not have happened without the printing press. Networking (telegraph) was the predecessor technology of computers.
People who think this is interesting news always turn out to have Twitter accounts completely full of batshit content. We live in a society. The state exists and has powers legitimized by the consent of the governed. Grow up and get over it.
> Coronavirus were thought to be non-vaccinable, even worse than the flu.

Citation needed. I think the biggest reason there’s no common cold vaccine is that there are too many common cold varieties, often not even related to each other.

Dengue was thought to be a difficult target, and are some non-mRNA vaccines looking pretty good in trials right now.
> There are reports that the calls for the boycott of the brand are already starting to have some effect... some shoppers have already started to see Kellogg’s cereals for prices as low as 99 cents on supermarket shelves.

I'm confident that's isolated to a few stores with a nice discount going on rather than an across the board change coming down from Kellogg. They aren't going to knock the price down to less than a third of what it cost last week because of a boycott, they'd set the price to whatever it was right before people started complaining.

If they moved it from $3.27 to $.99 because of pressure, they wouldn't be able to raise the price back to what it was again for years. And this boycott isn't nearly big enough for them to be doing something like that. I think that's what you'd do if a mob was actively straining against the locked doors of your corporate headquarters, rather than another angry group complaining on the internet.

Not that Kellogg aren't bastards, I'm just saying let's be real about the effectiveness of internet boycotts.
The Steam Deck dock supports this, for instance.

Ingredients: Pork with ham meat added, salt, water, potato starch, sugar and sodium nitrite. The pork is shoulder meat.

What is in that list that is highly objectionable? Its mixed together, canned and boiled so that its preserved and ready to eat out of the can cold.

Same with Vienna Sausage: MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN, WATER, SALT, CORN SYRUP. CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: BEEF, PORK, DEXTROSE, NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM NITRITE, GARLIC POWDER. BROTH: CHICKEN BROTH.

I dont like the sugar in there but whatever. What is in there that is objectionable?

I'm not saying that these aren't calorie dense and high in salt, but that was the POINT.

While this would explain the advancement/crash conflict, wouldn't the vast number of them also likely cause other artefacts, besides crashes? Even in near space, which we observe closely. Also: do you imagine a cloaking tech or dimension travelling for that scenario?
There's a shortage of competition. This in turn gives companies more power to set prices. Previously they wouldn't have had the same latitude to pass rising costs onto consumers. Instead this would've eaten into their margins. You can gripe about the term, but it's descriptive of a real phenomenon.
If an entity exists for the purpose of subverting the exercise of legitimate government powers then the government in question should just bomb it flat. Tolerance would be dereliction of duty.

Of course, Proton is not such an entity, but they are happy that you have fooled yourself into paying for this imaginary property.
Interjecting requires planning ahead.

The way a human interjects is that you have a parallel thought chain going, along with the conversation, as it's happening in real time. In this parallel chain, you are planning ahead. What point am I going to make once we are past this point of conversation? What is the implication of what is being discussed here? (You also are thinking about what the other person is thinking; you are developing a mental model of their thought process).

LLM does not have any of this, architecturally, it just has the text itself. Any planning that people are claiming to do with LLama et al is really just "pseudo" planning, not the fundamental planning we talk about here. I suspect it will be a while yet before we have "natural" interjection from LLM.

When it does come, however, it will be extremely exciting. Because it will mean that we have cracked planning and made the AI far more agentic than it is now. I would love to be proven wrong.
At 40 years old, what’s clear to me is that while people have some curiosities they pursue, most have no desire to be rigorous about epistemological questions surrounding their curiosities. This extends well into people’s professional disciplines in my experience.

So even for the small percentage of people who have some narrow focus of inquiry (usually at work) they only have the desire or ability to evaluate the first or second order inputs and effects.

In general this isn’t a problem for day to day life. The packaged chicken on the shelf fits perfectly into recipe, and there is little to no thought of any other externalities (what systems am I “voting with my dollars” to support? What is the relative difference in supply chain between two options)

However if you are going to try and align your conceptions of how systems/environments work and what you desire for future state, then you do have to do the system decomposition and that’s actually non trivial.

So there’s no real “market” for epistemological rigor outside of a small group of people who come across as unreasonable in their demand for rigor, so this is the likely result of a system that is built for personal or organizational success and not an ego-free search for “truth” via intentional rigor.

Luckily the small group continues to grow as a total number
Isn’t the headline based on the name of the collective action? I’d blame the lack of cleverness on whoever coined the TikTok trend.
This may actually be a good point. Instead of storing your recovery address, they could only store a hash of it, and require an email to be sent from the recovery address to initiate the recovery process. Still not completely zero-knowledge, but an improvement.

I guess they can fork that "open core", introduce that feature, then maintain it themselves forever. Pull changes from original open core and their "open" branch will be better than original.
Of course they don't want this work. They want the company to maintain it instead.
