There are TOTP apps for regular computer. I am using an old tablet for the microsoft authenticator and banking apps.

Technically it is pretty much like a phone but it is not used as a phone. No number, no sim card.

I am pretty sure some of these apps could work on waydroid too if needed.

So in the end all this discussion really depends if we are talking about the mobile device as a whole that you carry with you nearly all the time or some parts of the ecosystem that you may have at home.

Electric looks great! though I'm wondering how it works in scale.
I'm using Postgres and have some heavy queries, would be great to cache\materizlized the results instead of re-run them every time for every user, or for returning users without any change in the data.
I live in a city that was founded by the Romans around the time of Christ. But has been abandoned and rebuild a couple of times (by a.o. Charlemagne). Everytime something is built, dug, or torn down, they find old or ancient foundations. Sometimes underneath old foundations. Fortresses underneath mideaval cellars, city walls below a casino. A Bathouse in a parking garage.

It makes building stuff, quite cumbersome. And I can only imagine the amount of ancient foundations that have been quickly eradicated, so that a real estate developer could keep on schedule to maximize profits.
Tiles. There is a correct way to install them. I don’t know how you decide what’s correct, but sometimes it’s centred, sometimes a full one on the left, or the right.

Then you have the same scenario but top to bottom.
The running joke in the arts & crafts circles I was tangential to concerned the difference between an artist and a craftsperson; Craft people have to pay their bills ... :-)
All the major ETFs are gamed. Remember the scandal a couple of years ago when Exxon was considered green and major banks were considered ethical.

BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, etc. They are all the same.
Alternatively, we get better at ignoring notifications.

The same way people somewhat adapted to urban noise by better insulation and noise proofing, having a phone in dnd most of the time is I think a must nowadays.

You still can pay attention when you want, potentially at some regular intervals you set for yourself, and ignore it the rest of the time.
You just don’t get the joke
Yeah, that’s it.

I didn’t "get" chemistry back in my school days and it was a real frustration because, well, of course I had bad grades but what saddened me were that I still found the topic to be very interesting and I loved physics, which I was pretty good at and I could see how the two were magically interconnected. But I failed to grasp the "logic" behind the system.

That’s truly one of my regrets because chemistry is probably one of the most important fundamental science for humanity’s future.

But that’s ok, I love computer science too and I did "get" it (mostly). Thanks for the awesome semiconductors, chemists !
JavaFX uses a dialect of CSS so that's not necessarily a great example. It's also somewhat simplified compared to normal CSS, for example, the way layout works is more normal for GUIs (containers that implement different constraint systems). For things like theming your UI it works pretty well.

I've done web CSS and JavaFX CSS and for app GUI I'd much rather use the latter. For nicely styled documents with good typography on the other hand, web CSS is going to be better.

JavaFX also scores points for having a binary form of CSS that can be loaded and parsed much faster.

CSS as a language is bloody awful of course. The prevalence of dialects that compile down to it is always a giveaway that the language didn't keep pace with people's needs.
I think many people are faced with a choice of studying physics or chemistry at a graduate level and, since up until then chemistry is generally much harder work than physics if you are an above average student, gravitate towards the subject where their ability so far has made life easy for them.

I still remember my introductory chemistry lecture at uni where the instructor said that a whole bunch of us had coasted up until now, and that in his experience those that had had to work hardest to get there, even if they had lower grades, would be the ones to succeed (he was right!)

Also very real issues like accessibility.

Ex-Wayfair engineer here. Problem is that not every company is shit from the start. They were pretty cool when I joined. Not so much when they cut my entire department 7 months later. (They started getting noticeably less cool 3 mo in to my tenure, but still.)
You'd probably need to read the contract they make folk sign to get a real idea of why. It could be that the contract structures it like a loan.
Israel's government is directly and intentionally killing an maiming about 250 children daily for 190 or so days in a row 15-20 thousands of them dead right now, and 10s of thousands more wounded. And this is not even the first genocide Israel was involved in or helped carry out. They have quite a legacy in south america, where they were supporting now (self-)recognized genocide of Maya (https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2018/10/guatemala-un...).

Yes, Google could wait for "final" decision, like these companies always wait for final decisions when some of their employees rape or assualt someone (or is accused of such), or when their employees kill 10 children on camera, or take a buldozer and crush entire families in tents to death. They'd surely wait until final decision of the court to fire them, and stop doing business with them. Their all about fairness, and respecting the presumption of innocence. :D

It's all about the money, who cares how many people they help kill. Just like with all the data abuse. It only was somewhat limited when there was threat to Google from some governments. Quiting some employees is < $ than quiting a billion dolar contract. That's all there's to it, quite likely.

Pretty sure there are billions to be made between now and some 20-30 years later when the genocide may be recognized by some international court.

I commend these people for deciding to get quited by Google in the manner they did. They made the point publicly, instead of just silently quiting.

This vertical centering of text in buttons is more noticeable when there is an icon next to it. But it drives me crazy that the default is not to center around the cap and baseline. This is what I usually see in figma designs and it looks the best, but it's not simple to apply in html & css.
You reference HyperCard as if it was only a document creation system; it was not. People have been building applications in HyperCard from the start.

I don't really know much about this area of UI. Can you explain why this breaks accessibility? I did load it in reader mode (macOS Safari), and there were no paragraph breaks - is that similar to the experience of a screen reader?

I'm disappointed the author didn't use a Monty Python Spam Sketch reference — span, span, span, span and span.
When I say "a decade" that was meant as an example timespan. Depending on how complicated the processes turn out you could also look at "multiple decades" or in some cases also "never".

A problem with today's science world is that the funding is competitive to a degree scientists need to "sell" their findings with practical applications — the fact they expanded the edge of human knowledge has become worthless. So our systemically incentivized-to-sell scientists do just that. And sometimes it works out and sometimes it is just far fetched bs. But because the edge of current science is so precise, so small, so ho, so cold, so fast, so low energy, etc. translating even the best of finsings into commercially scalable processes has become a major undertaking and despite unprecedented wealth on the top of the society, the ones on top have become averse to risk.

Mini-CD would be too big for this size, wouldn't they ?
Something similar to a credit card would fit the bill and could look gorgeous.

The issue of course would be that there aren't cards of that format that can store the amount of data required, but maybe with a bit of fantasy a micro-sd card could be embedded in it.
No, that information is still on the internet. It's just Google/Bing/etc. who fail to find it.

Not your fault flowisgreat. It has just been many many months since I've even heard machine learning referenced.

For giggles, the next time at work when someone calls ML AI I should start the conversation about sentient beings and the human rights that the AI is entitled to having.(/s)
Matzah is fantastic, I wish I had more opportunities to have it. The hard, thin, crunchy matzah bread, matzah ball soup, its all great. We used to have it once a year during school lunch, probably for Passover, but I don't really remember when or why. I just remember that it was pretty delicious.
Why do I enjoy writing shell scripts then?
They weren't really idiots, though, that's quite harsh. People wanted to be able to share software but there were so many barriers to entry at the distribution/installation/update phases that they used the solution that didn't require any of that.

It was a hack but it worked better to serve the needs of the users.
This doesn’t seem limited to that particular boot camp, sadly.

I’ve instructed at two boot camps (one in North America and one in Europe). It seems to be standard practice in the industry: inflating placement numbers, very low quality material/curriculum and course material, a kind of omertà where students fear speaking up, admitting students who clearly don’t have the skills and will drown in the course, stringing you along “it’ll get better you’ll see” until you pass the number of days where you can’t drop out without losing a significant chunk of money, counting the graduates cum instructors towards your graduate placement rate…

From my experience, boot camps are mostly scams. Maybe they will be a reckoning, it really sucks that the business model basically revolves around deception and taking thousands from people who want a career change.
Interesting choice of modular coordinates. I wonder how gravity works here. Does it reach across the edge or is it confined to the modulo?

UI is a bit unfriendly on mobile. It doesn’t seem there’s a way to interact with it on a phone.
> But why would anyone want that? I agree that this would result, but my takeaway is "and therefore we shouldn't do that".

My guess is that a lot of CEO's already consider the implementation details of their companies' software systems as opaque. So that is essentially a pre-existing market for performative but opaque systems. CEO's. CFO's. Shareholders, etc.

Even in engineering organizations. Look at how Boeing and NASA both demoted critical engineering concerns when external concerns became overwhelmingly more important to their leaders.

Now factor in the models actually doing a good job, checking each other, and generally getting better year to year.
> Would setting constraints in the browser be feasible?

yes. IIRC Cassowary constraint solving was proposed in 1999. It was dismissed because they thought it would be too costly on the hardware of the time.
Yes, I do read a lot of 20 year old content on the internet.
I don't really understand the moral issue with a company eliminating jobs. Similarly, I also don't think these companies are doing a moral good for creating jobs in the first place.

> "I know what every invisible character in my code is"

Wouldn't that be possible even when (exclusively) using tabs for indenting? Admittedly it's been a hot minute since I last programmed and I'm far more familiar with borland's ide with turbo c++ than VS code (so I don't know what the latest formatting works/features are), but if you only indent with tabs isn't that good enough? Also, do multiple spaces not take much more time to type out? Or have you remapped your tab key to multiple spaces?
I used to enjoy "how ... is made" videos on YouTube. I used to work in a dairy factory (in IT) a few decades ago, and it was amazing to see the process.

And then after watching "Rick and Morty - Plumbus: how they do it" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMJk4y9NGvE) all these vids are ruined :)
This depends on the specific work he is doing and his natural talents. If he is responsible for important parts of the code and he has been lacking in relevant domain experience in the past, it could be quite challenging.

The Cyc project proposed the idea of software "assistants" : formally represented knowledge based on a shared ontology, reasoning systems that can draw on that knowledge, handle tasks and anticipate the need to perform them.[1]

The lead author on [1] is Kathy Panton who has no publications after that and zero internet presence as far as i can tell.

I have this with grammar. When I read modern websites, articles, papers, emails from HR, etc. with their sloppy English and comma-splices everywhere, it annoys me way too much and it's a real challenge to push on through and keep reading.

It feels like walking through a maze, with an uneven floor and bad lighting, full of dead-ends, compared to walking down a pleasant, well-lit corridor.
I should've heeded your warning. Altough, the loading circle was funny
I think that GO with GO-CAM is definitely going that way. Basic GO is rather simple and can't infer that much (as in GO by itself has low classification or inference logic build in). Uberon, for anatomy, does use a lot of OWL power and shows that the logic-based inference can help a lot.

Reactome, is a graph, because that is the domain. But technically it does little with that fact (In my disappointed opinion).

Given that GO and Reactome are also relatively small academic efforts in general...

> Clearly though they are fine with charging a yearly fee to access the store. So why not just charge for the app in the EU IF that really is the problem here

Alternative app stores have to pay the CTF for every install starting from the very first one. Apps distributed in alternative app stores have to pay the CTF for every install after the first 1m.

The CTF is an annual fee.

In this instance, the app store developer is the same as the app developer, so the yearly fee for the store is being used to cover both sets of fees.

It's related to improved pattern recognition in asd and adhd. If it particularly bothers someone, a touch of OCD might be involved too.
Letters in foreign languages seem capable of enough distinctiveness to be registered trademarks to me, like Alpha Security, Delta Airlines, Kappa clothing.

What's the problem you see here?
TLDR for non doctors: a lot of people who are on the older side take anticoagulants or anti-platelets, and when they hit their head on the front porch, with no other symptom but a small bruise, if they go to an ER they have to undergo a useless CT scan.

This is a cost for them, time wasted for the hospital team, and increases their lifetime risk of sickness because it's a bit ox X-rays one could do without.

This team is working on showing what everybody knows - that is, the scan is not useful - so everybody can do the right thing.

I'm not an expert in developing databases, but I understand that creating an excellent optimizer is quite challenging. Having followed your blog, I believe it will help me to enhance my knowledge in the area of databases.

I used to write some of the worst English out there. Then I became part in a streamers community, where proper English grammar was encouraged/enforced. (Well, more like having to at least try to write proper English, there was quite a bit of leeway) Ever since then, I get incredibly annoyed at people just writing "liek this and not giving an crap about proper grammar or punctuation this makes text harder to read then necessary"
> Also tried on an iPad, where I got a pop up “you can only install this marketplace on an iPhone”, which is disappointing.

Apple claim that the iOS App Store is a separate entity to the iPadOS App Store, and thus, doesn’t qualify as a gatekeeper under the EU DMA. Apple have made alternative app stores only available to iPhones running iOS 17.4+.

Apple may benefit from you registering your disappointment with them directly, so that they can stop bragging about their immense customer satisfaction percentages in future product launches.
>It is a weird myth that CSS somehow discourages tables. CSS have supported styling html tables and ‘display:table’ (allowing a table-like layout without html-tables) for 25 years.

Not a myth in any way shape or form. Tables for layout (not tables in general) were discouraged with various arguments in favor of "float/clear", even decades before a sane substitute (grid/flex) was available.

>Other positioning systems you mention does not solve the same problem as CSS. CSS has to support viewports of any size and dimensions and allow text to scale independently of the viewport size and still remain readable.

None of those requirements is unique to CSS, and none of those requirements necessitates the stupid float/clear mechanisms that were shoved into people's throats for 15 years.

We're talking about the style language that had layout shoe-horned into it, and which tool decades to develop the most basic layout mechanisms available in GUIs for decades, grid layout and flex layout. And even when it did, it didn't it badly.
This makes me miss the days when computers were ~12 watts and (basically) passively cooled. This would not be possible on any newer system. I'm also not counting the 1" fan on the back of the wii which was replaced by a heatsink.
Eh, why should Palestinians though? There are many that are being attacked daily by Israel. Should they just take it?

Also you're kinda assuming this contract is about defense, or that the defense is just. No idea why anyone should just take that assumption as granted.
Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I will be following the points you have mentioned and I will showcase the results!
It is considering what you get for it, and it's not lower end six figures and most likely seven. The JetMoe team released their training cost estimate and it took them $100k to train what's effectively a 2.2B model for 1.25 T tokens. Compare that to the still tiny Mistral 7B which is 3x larger and was trained on 4x more data you get a figure more around $1.7M. These are the absolute smallest production-viable LLMs.

For something like Mixtral 8X22B with 40B active params you'd looking at the $10M range, and if something gets screwed up during training you can be left with a dud and nothing to show for it, like LLama-2-33B. It's like buying millions worth of lootboxes and hoping something good drops.
> It would disappear anyway. All those personal webpages will be lost in time, like images hosted on long-dead servers and phpbb forums.

Some will disappear. Others are maintained, sometimes by third parties. Many of them are on web.archive.org. Yes, we should build better solutions to retain random personal webpages but the sitations isn't really that dire.

> "Internet never forgets"

This has alwasy been in the context of things you want the internet to forget and it still holds true.

> "information wants to be free"

And it does - once something leaks it is hard to put it back into the bag.

> "censorship on the internet is impossible"

I don't recall this claim but depending on how you look at things isn't really wrong: Is there any kind of information that you can't find on the internet because someone wants to hide it? Yes, some parts of the web are censored but remember the internet is not just the web and even on the web highly controversial websites can cling to life.

> "easy access to information helps democracy"

It does. Most people do not have easy access to information, at best they have a highly curated selection that the media wants them to see. They could avail themselves to the full picture but are conditioned not to.
CSS tables can have grid-auto-flow as dense, which is quite helpful at rare times. You obviously could do that wit tables + js, but it's nice to not have to worry about the implementation details.
