Hey thenorthbay,

I gotta say, your idea of a Supabase-like system for SQLite got me thinking. It's an interesting concept. SQLite running next to your server could certainly speed things up, but don't forget about potential issues with concurrent writes. SQLite might not be as graceful as other databases in handling those.

The dev-prod synchronization you mentioned is a neat idea. Just remember to keep things secure and don't expose sensitive data. Also, think about the size of your production database. If it's too big, this might not be the best way to go.

Having an interface to access, view, and modify data straight from the production DB would be super useful. Depending on how complex this gets, you could either make it part of the application server or set up a separate server.

Auto-backup to a bucket is definitely a thumbs up from me. Tools like Litestream can be a lifesaver here.

Have you heard of Datasette? It's an open-source tool that lets you explore and publish data from SQLite databases. It could be a good starting point for what you're trying to build.

Your idea sounds like it could really shake things up. Keep us posted on how it goes. Good luck!
My goodness the UI/UX is atrocious.
>Function signatures already solve that problem.

I literally just showed you how they don't. And you even go on to describe a pattern that makes the problem "even less likely" in the next sentence..

>Branding seems like a solution looking for a problem.

You do you.

There's a meaningful difference between the two. You're fired for doing something wrong. You're laid off if the company wants to cut costs.
Some OSs want their binaries to be signed and probably have checksums etc. It would be hard to keep those valid when mucking around with a hex editor.
I like this idea a lot.

One level of API for implementation model.

According to https://www.igorslab.de/en/realtek-alc1200-demystifies-what-...

The ALC1220 has 14 pins per side, and the ALC1200 has 12. It must be the ALC1200.

Those problems usually present themselves by people overthinking the high level api and trying to be smart.

As an example, you can use chattr to make a file in Linux immutable. ls still shows that you have permission to write to the file, even though it will fail.

When people try to overthink the api and have it determine if you really can write to a file, people will try using the high level api first (chmod) and it won’t work because it has nothing to do with permissions.

KISS is really needed for high level APIs.

> the productivity loss of the useless features, constant prompting to update to windows 11 or mode to edge and potential data spills caused by OneDrives absolute persistence is mind blowing.

Presumably this should lead to a shift to Linux or Mac machines if it were really all that noticeable among a myriad of other productivity drags.
Of course. I'm not saying environment has no impact at all - that would be plainly absurd. I am saying that, in the end, the choice of what you do is up to you. Your experiences will influence, but they will not dictate you. I assume you'll appeal to physicalism here, but at that point we just end up getting into an unanswerable philosophical debate. So I would simply say that while what I'm assuming is not falsifiable, neither is physicalism.

I'm largely swayed by the 'conscious experience.' Presumably neither of us believe that if you make a program to add 2+2, that some entity suddenly pops into existence and imagines itself to be adding 2+2 only to then zip out out of existence. Where we may differ is that I don't think that changes if we go from adding 2+2, to instead sequentially carrying out arbitrarily more simple instruction.

Yet here we are - 'passenger' or 'driver' in a body feeling as though we have complete control over our own actions. I tend to believe what lay before my eyes. And so in this case, I am obligated to reject this as being an emergent property of complexity, or as a facade. Which, in turn, obligates me to reject physicalism.
It signals they're pandering even more to Wall St.
No. That’s been tried already lol.

You can jam the signal, but you can work around signal jamming in software by having it back off or gain altitude.

What are you comparing it against? Do you actually have a better alternative or just having a bad day?

The fact that you tried to pick on 2 of the results for such a generic keyword, show that it's miles ahead of mainstream search engines which are filled with SEO spam.

I tried that same search on Google, duckduckgo, bing, brave, yandex, even yahoo and needless to say the results were pretty much all SEO spam, list-style keywords farming from generic websites such as NYTimes (how tf is NYTimes an authoritive source on purchasing headphones?). Whereas in Kagi you get a wide range of helpful results focused around reviews/enthusiasts/forums, here are some of the results: youtube video reviews, reddit discussion, discussions on sound design forums, a Quora qusetion, the headphones page on best buy, amazon, walmart, etc.

And as the other comment said, Kagi also has life-saving features that empower the user to have control over the search results [0]. As far as I know the only weak point in Kagi (at the moment) is doing more local-focused searches.

Regardless of the quality of results (which mind you, are already quite superior), it'd be still worth paying for if only to support its ad-less search model and help nurture it. Prove that it's a viable model for the sake of the web. For everyone sake. It's a great effort for that alone. Combine both the model and high-quality results and it's the best in class with no one even close.

I assume my GPS disciplined over controlled crystal oscillator is going to be much the same as most of those. Short term .1milli Hz.

Without GPS, yes a rubidium oscillator would be fun to have and the phase noise is may be better than the TCXO disciplined oscillator, but the system I have with the LEA-M8T with a good external antenna and used in the 'base station surveyed in' mode is more stable. I've been keeping an eye on ebay for old one at a reasonable price. They do wear out so it's a risky buy.

I once worked on a contract translated with ChatGPT from German to Polish and it was the most infuriating experience. Text for a layperson seemed to be ordinary legal speak, but in reality it made no sense(or even less than ordinarily). I had to explain meaning of every legal term used and why it made no sense in given context.
Hi gverrilla,

I've been using the ChatGPT Memory feature for a while now, and in my experience, it's been quite useful. The ability for the model to remember details and preferences from previous conversations has made the interactions feel more personalized and cohesive.

However, it's important to note that it's not perfect. Sometimes, it might not remember certain details, or it might misinterpret instructions. But overall, I've found it to be a significant improvement in terms of creating a more engaging and context-aware conversation.

As always, if you're concerned about privacy, you can reset the memory or turn the feature off in the settings.
I use iCloud's Passkeys extensively and have never had saved Passkeys "wiped out". I am not disputing that data loss bugs can happen, but three times for one user sounds pretty weird given the maturity of the ecosystem.

The most obvious explanations seem to me to be:

a) Apple loses data (presumably not just Passkeys, but also photos, passwords, and other highly noticeable stuff) all the time, and I've been lucky for the last ten years. Hundreds of millions of Apple users just learn to live with this.

b) The author is doing something weird.

c) This is hyperbole.

I'm probably picking nits, but it's like an article raising a bunch of legitimate criticisms of the internal combustion engine mentioning that the author's car has, while sitting in the parking lot, simply exploded on three separate occasions. Like, maybe?
The major downside (for me) was Debian not supporting ZFS on root out of the box. :(

Now toying with the idea of using Proxmox on my main development system (R5950x desktop), as Proxmox is based upon Debian 12 and supports ZFS on root mirrored (and RAIDZ* too if desired) across multiple devices.

Would need to figure out PCI pass through for my Nvidia graphics card though. Probably do-able, but it's an unknown factor presently.
Yes they do. I had a colleague who opened up his machine to another using the logon "remote" and let them set the password.

It was cracked the next day. It turns out having 12345678 is probably a bad password.

The problem is that substack also solves for distribution.

Blogger doesn't but I don't think any VC backed version of this can succeed because ultimately our craving is to have a free space to read quality content and the incentive of these platforms is to maximise revenue which just don't go hand in hand.

So the result is this dissonance.

I hope one day we will see a platform that can both sustain (without the goal of going IPO)

We need bootstrapped Medium in a way.

Scaling AI Models Like You Mean It
Oof, the Passkeys ecosystem is incredibly complex. Even as someone that deals with it day in and day out at $CURRENT_CO, it can be a headache.

As an exercise from a developer's perspective, try creating a chart of every device type (mobile, desktop etc), browser, and Passkeys platform provider (Apple, Microsoft etc). Then fill out how each behaves across each combination, it is a nightmare!

I'm hopeful that we'll see more cooperation across Passkey providers to align both the devx and UX to increase adoption where it makes sense. Not holding my breath too much though.

The Mafia always enjoyed some support among people who benefit from it, which is why they make this sort of populist move in the first place. That doesn't mean they are as legitimate as a proper democratic government.

It's like saying "oh, the local feudal Lord helps us fight bandits!" - yeah, but he can also cut you down in the street without due process, doesn't care about your opinion, and might enforce ius primae noctis, without any recourse.
It is not, just sharing some information about the guy's background a lot of folks might not know. Might explain why he didn't insist in moving them from Chicago and relocating them to the West coast.
Agreed. The IBM acquisition of Red Hat, then the CentOS 8 (and onwards) shenanigans have made that entire Linux family unworkable to me personally.

Debian seems to be the remaining major family, and looks "good enough" to me. :)
I was about to type something similar to this as well! I use passkeys pretty heavily, with iCloud sync. Never had an issue.
The only similar issue I can think of is sometimes my Macbook will loose the contents of the on device wallet, including in one case an ssh key stored there. That was somewhat annoying!

I agree it seems a bit scummy, yet likely unavoidable for the author due to the way MIT Press distributes things.

It's thankfully licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0, which allows for converting the content to other formats (given attribution and non-commercial use, same license, etc etc) [0]. I'd reckon that making a de-fingerprinted version and redistributing it as an epub, md, or pdf again would be allowed, then.

As for getting a clean copy to work from, using Tor would be quite fitting. I plan to convert the version I downloaded to epub for ereader use, maybe downloading it a couple times over different routes and combining to see if that has any impact on the fingerprinting. I'll comment with a download if I get to that and feel it's of a quality worth sharing.

> Maybe transporting undesirables

An uncomfortable truth about transportation is that while there were hardened criminal types sent over, the great demand was for skills .. the convicts sent were largely desired - stonecutters, wood workers, draftspeople were needed to build a new world and those early Colonial megaliths didn't erect themselves.

The majority of convicts worked without chains or imprisonment, which allowed political prisoners such as the Fennians to make with The Great Escape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalpa_rescue

I agree it is an oversimplification - yes, in 1951, Artie Fadden was making sensible (even if unpopular) economic decisions in Australia, while Perón was making foolish (albeit popular) economic decisions in Argentina. But the same pattern has been repeated many times since. If Argentina had learned its lesson from Perón‘s mistakes and chosen not to repeat them, it would be in far better economic shape today - arguably much closer to where Australia is. Instead, it has chosen to repeat them again and again and again
I’m in the the unique (and at times, unenviable) position of spending the last 4-5 years building out a music app (getradiant.app for the curious) and I agree with what others are saying here, it’s about exposure.

My music taste has expanded and shifted a lot in the past half decade, which also happens to coincide with the first half of my 30s, mainly because I’m exposed to new stuff constantly through my consistent testing of my app.

Your 30s is typically when people start noticing the growth of the circle representing their radius of musical interest start to slow. Mainly because it collides with having less time for choice (life gets busy, responsibilities increase) coupled with a decreased capacity for new experience.

I’ve also noticed TikTok has exposed me to a ton of new stuff.

So the TLDR; is, the time you have to discover on your own will become ever more limited. Your best bet to keep the party going is to find one or two low-effort, lean back discovery services and stick with them.
My point is they don't even need to do that. If people cant get paid there is no ecosystem of content. Plus why would TikTok themselves care about this after they leave the American market.
Honestly, I think a big part of the problem is that passkeys have been tied to hardware devices and they don't have to be. A passkey is just a public key credential, and it can easily be provided by software as well as by hardware. You would still get many of the benefits (better UX, automatically secure, prevents phishing) and the overall customer experience could be a lot better. Imagine if passkeys could be saved, transferred, and imported as easily as a PDF. Instead, we get a bunch of walled gardens where Apple/Google/Microsoft/etc are trying to be the only provider you use.

Your idea of sending different pieces of information to different suspects and observing the outcome is a classic approach known as a "canary trap." It's been used in counter-intelligence to identify leaks. However, you should consider the ethical implications and potential legal issues related to this method.

Another approach, more technical, could be to analyze the headers of the defamatory emails. Email headers contain metadata about the email, including the originating IP address. This could potentially help identify the sender.

Lastly, involve your school's legal team or local law enforcement, as they might have more resources and expertise to handle such a situation.

Maybe not but they have all the timing info, the identities of the chat participants, and the facebook surveillance network. They also used to leak URLs pasted into the app out in order to generate previews, so they know what you’re linking to from within the app. Us they can infer way more about you than seems obvious at first.
Worth noting that this reply has a lot of the same content as your first one but isn't flagged. This is mostly due to it being phrased in a far less inflammatory manner I think.
Definitely this. I think the worst aspect of Passkeys is that the noble goals (public key crypto! unphisability!) seem to somewhat unavoidably wipe out one of the--in hindsight--really valuable aspects of passwords-in-a-password-manager:

That you can always just copy them out, put them in a different password manager, or write them on a post-it.

That said, I think this is a byproduct of the design space being complex (as you suggest) and not, as the author seems to feel, "thought leaders" or malice.
i feel like this would be more useful with a title like 'A note about Coercions in Haskell', it would allow people to determine interest more quickly.

Ignoring for the moment that "unsurface" isn't even a word, I think you mean the opposite, "surface" (as a slightly pretentious way of saying "discover").

A team of engineers built the sub. It wasn't the work of one man.

I think we could see eye to eye, but first you'll need to acknowledge that rubbishing the work of others during a time when kids need rescuing, is the worst possible time to unleash attention-seeking mudslinging against other parties.

The sub wasn't suitable in the end. So what? It was a desperate situation. Help was scrambled from across the world. Many ideas were tabled. The way those boys eventually came out was extremely risky. Anyway, this topic diversion is off the main topic of rubbishing some Google staffer who "killed search". All the best.
