Isn't that how it always is as any company matures? In a big company, you don't need just 5-star devs. You also need a 3-star devs (and even 2-star devs) that work 9 to 3:30 (and maybe do emails/slack between 3:30 - 4; bonus points if they study from 4 to 5). You need people that can take basic requirements and turn them into code that your 5-star devs are too bored to write. You need people who look at customer bugs, can do debugging and submit a patch to fix a corner case your 5-star dev didn't think about 4 years when they were hopped up on caffeine, hopes and dreams.

XAI, Elon Musk's OpenAI rival, is closing on $6B in funding
Agreed. I'm not so sure that some of the iCloud data loss bugs people talk about are actual data loss bugs. I've had a few issues over the years.

Firstly I spent weeks chasing down what I thought was a data loss bug in iCloud. After much effort I managed to reproduce it. Turned out it was an issue with TeXshop rather than iCloud.

Secondly, the one time I had a photo lost, it wasn't lost. I just couldn't find it in the 12000 photos I had. It wasn't where I'd left it.

The third one was a data loss bug, was reproducible, was reported to Apple and was fixed. This was due to how Numbers handles three devices and how it decides the winner of a conflicting change and was an edge case as number 1 awkward customer.

YMMV but user testimony may be as reliable as eyewitness reports.
The problem with kickstarter is that alot of creators end up not fulfilling their pledges, even as they receive far more than they asked for.

To be fair, that's more for risky ambitious projects like mmorpgs that even AAA devs fail at.
I realise that this isn't an argument to show that the book market is healthy, but have you considered piracy? Many of the type of books you are describing are very easily available via libgen.
The article is funny and I agree with overall sentiment, but it's always surprising how people just forget Kosovo and Somalia. Clinton bombed a European country and doubled down on a hopeless mission in an African hellhole (before giving up), not exactly "sustained peace abroad". Even if you agree with the moves, you can't say it was all peace and love.
These are the "good stuff" .. for various data gathering activities you do not want a fast high flying jet, you want a slow close to ground platform travelling at sub 70 m/s speeds to maximise "dwell time" over each ground point (while not travelling so slow as to fall out of the bloody sky).

Crop dusters carry weight, excel at STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) on "Oh shit, that's not a runway".

US Special Operations Command is into the sneaky stuff - intelligence gathering, quick in | out person on ground infil and exfiltrates.

Stubby little planes that pull like tractors and can depart flying upside down underneath a bridge are ideal, they get overshot by fighter jets and have engines too cold for air to air missiles (fingers crossed).
"I" for success, "we" for loss. Such a classic.
I have my passkeys in bitwarden.
Passkeys are pretty useless for me. At first I was somewhat hyped, but it seems that everyone just ignores them. Chrome does not support them. I set it up on mac, today I tried to login to icloud using passkey, but it just didn't work. Few websites implemented them, but overwhelming majority of websites don't.

So, yeah, useless technology for now. Passwords and TOTPs are the way.
> if what happens after is what defines free will or not

This sounds much too broad - I can't tell what it means. The things I listed are the normal constraints around how we define free will:

> > doesn't mean you have every conceivable option in mind

I think this is what you were exploring in your reply.

> > nor that you have the power to exercise every choice

I might choose to fly, but that doesn't mean that that is what will happen

> > nor even that you like any of the choices

I might be choosing between allowing myself to be robbed and risking being shot, but I am choosing within my horrible options.

> Did the first particles that ejected from the big bang have free will?

I don't think anyone's claiming they did, no.
I've been using Passkeys saved in 1Password, I thought that gave me the power to transfer them, but I just looked and apparently the export feature of 1P doesn't allow exporting the Passkeys, it just tells you you need to create new ones in your new password manager, so that's pretty crappy...

After decades of moving manufacturing to Asia we currently see a considerable countermovement in the US and Europe.

Double Disc Refiner for Pulping
Leizhan Company introduced advanced technology to innovate and develop a double disc refiner. The double disc refiner is widely used for refining straw pulp, waste paper pulp, hardwood pulp and softwood pulp to ensure stable refining effect.
Main Structure Of Double Disc Refiner
1. The double disc refiner consists of two fixed grinding discs fixed on the casing and movable base and a grinding disc installed on the rotating shaft to form two grinding areas.
2. The pulp enters the middle of the grinding area from the two pulp inlet pipes on the machine casing and the stator inlet disc. It passes through the grinding area under the action of centrifugal force and pulp inlet pressure, and is beaten by the compression and impact of the toothed discs in the grinding area. process, it is sent out from the pulp outlet.
3. The rotating disk and the main shaft are connected by splines, allowing flexible axial movement.
Leizhan Company is a professional manufacturer of paper making and pulping machines. If you want to know more detailed information and factory quotations about paper making and pulping machines, please feel free to send us an email for consultation. Our email address: wastepapermachine@gmail.com

> too cold for air to air missiles

I'm guessing that these days there are two kinds of airborne objects: multi-modal drones and targets.

Oddly enough, heat seeking air to air came in ca.1950s, so self-flying has been around a while, and now people (especially those with heavy logistics requirements) are talking about land based self-driving, but shouldn't the seas be an intermediate problem? Where did all the self-sailing vessels go?

I love the idea behind it, and understand that the solution shown—which is more of an artistic installation rather than a real alternative for screens—is meant to serve as a conversation starter. How about, in the next step, developing an app based on this idea that uses the light sensor typically integrated in screens in combination with the local time of day and the respective sunrises and sunsets to regulate screen brightness? I’d be interested in how many users would engage in this experiment.
To be clear, I don't work for Apple. :) And I'm not discounting that there are usage patterns that might lead to persistent bad experiences (like your example with Numbers).

But the implication that Keychain just kind of forgets saved Passkeys once in a while seems alarmist and probably unfounded.
It’s a compression format.

Having to explicitly remember (page 100, para 30) taxes memory.

Since Brains are pattern recognition systems a pattern that can be easily decompressed and used to predict the next verse reduces cognitive burden.

- Human brains do not store information in a format that can simply be traversed and recalled instantly.

- We rebuild specific memories, based on associated precursors or memories.

- The text vs audio vs touch distinction is irrelevant to a brain. Your brain will remember whatever you felt when you read Hamlet, including the sounds of the words or the smell of your bed room.

- short term recall is 7-9 ‘things’.

- Long term, short term and medium memory function at the same time (parallel, not sequential)

In a nutshell, it’s cheaper to use multiple systems to rebuild the information.

Oh that’s really great to know about, thank you!
I think it's not saying that time is wasted but that it could be better spent verifying the same thing with other techniques. For example you could implement a graph type that guarantees absence of cycles at all point. Such a type would be great except for the fact that in most cases you would be better off preventing such cycles by construction, e.g. by only adding edges directed towards nodes that are not added yet.

I still use Keepass (well MacPass) and naively "cache" what I use regularly in Keychain because I completely distrust anyone else handling the keys to my castle. Whenever I get a Passkeys notification it's an irritation as I don't actually see what the supposed benefits of this are and I'm not really interested in changing how I work. Just feels like I'm being dragged into something complex I will never be able to escape.
About Audio Codec in ASRock B550M Pro4 and WiFi SE
I was comparing ASRock B550M Pro4 with ASRock B550M WIFI SE and I'm confused to choose which one.

Pro4 has more feature and great looking one while I mainly looking for best audio codec, Pro4 only have Realtek ALC1200 sadly. The WIFI SE version has ALC1220 and a Wi-Fi card with less USB slots.

The question is, why on the official site of the ASRock B550M Pro4 are written that it has "ALC1220/ALC1200" and what does it means? It has two audio codec model? or you'll get one of those two audio coded from each product randomly? I have dive deep enough to search for answer but no result.

Sorry for the confusion, please do not recommend me separate audio card/DAC because I only have limited budget for motherboard only.
That’s perfectly consistent with sources of bad actor data I have access to and compile myself.

I remember trying to rename LILO (from "Loading Linux" fame) to PIPO [1] by simply editing the bytes with a hex editor.

Turned out that didn't work, because there was an additional sanity check that halted the boot process if the "LI" bytes were corrupted.

Of course I put through and was a happy user of PIPO for some years, until Grub came along.

As far as I understand, Arrow is where you go when you need larger component batches. And if you're too big for Arrow, you probably already have a Chinese manufacturer in the works.
I am exploring this now, actually got 2 students doing their thesis on this. It's very complicated and unnecessarily so.

My conclusion so far is that it's a promising technology, but no way as mature as I'd like it to be. Unfortunately we are stuck with emails and passwords for the foreseeable future, at least as a back-up mechanism for credentials recovery, which, funnily, makes the whole thing pretty much pointless.

Apparently... of course, the threat of "mass casualty violence and terrorist attacks" is real, but you're probably still more likely to die in a plane crash while getting to the US (or in a car accident while there) than in a shooting or terrorist attack. And if you insist on only travelling to countries that have a lower level of violent crime than Australia, you probably won't get around much (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/violent-c...)...
Oh thank you for the respond, I do not know why ASRock website would give such confusing information, I guess I'll pick B550M WIFI SE instead.
I’m genuinely curious as to what an abstraction-rich api would look like and why it would be useful.

I’ve mainly worked in enterprise organisations or in startups transitioning into enterprise which is sort of where my expertise lies. I’ve never seen an API that wasn’t similar to the examples in this case.

I mean… I have… but they wouldn’t be labelled as high-abstraction api’s. If they needed a label it would be terrible APIs. Like sending table headers, column types in another full length array with a line for each column, and then the actual data/content in a third array. Even sending the html style that was used in what ever frontend, so that some data is represented as “some data” and other is represented as [“some data”, [“text-aligned”, “center”…],… . Yes, that is an actual example. Anyway I’ve never seen a high abstraction api and I feel like I’m missing out.
Sounds like super cumbersome and tedious way to get answers, can't remember the last problem I had that would justify such effort.
Despite the name, GraphQL does not actually query graphs (at least, not like GQL does).
Yeah exactly. It is possible that some expiry or provider specific bug may lead to revocation? I am not sure how it works entirely.

I will say that there are some very well known backup and restore issues with keychain however so I keep anything critical in MacPass as the primary copy.

The biggest issue with passkeys is that I just can't trust the companies offering them. They are locked into the platform for reasons that are ostensibly security but often indistinguishable from platform lock-in. If you make a passkey on an Apple device as far as I can tell it will never leave that device, ever, and there is no way to change this. Of course this means you can never be phished for your credentials but if Apple decides to delete your key or you want to leave your iPhone behind, what are you supposed to do?
I know that, but I didn’t think it was because of security. I don’t think of the US as particularly dangerous, but maybe my perception is wrong…

Sure, but most people have had do the walk of shame to a local coffee shop when someone inevitably trips the ban on your own network.

A proper firewall port-knock set interleaved with 5 day ban tripwire port rules is effective at mitigating distributed brute-forcing. However, a ssh route whitelist rule set with SSL or iodine tunnel traffic priority is probably more important (when someone saturates the bandwidth trying to starve your session off the server).

Have a great day =)
> most engineers are not super comfortable with even relatively basic mathematical notation like this.

I might be a bit out of date here. I can imagine how it could be true for bootcamp developers who never had relevant formal education, but I don't think they are a majority. Most engineers go through some kind of higher education program, be it CS or CE, and it normally includes a significant amount of math. How can you get around getting comfortable with it?
Regardless of what the libraries should be doing, there is the reality of what they are doing.
Oops, you forgot the other 2 travel advisories the author quoted in that part:

- "Violent crime is more common in the US than in Australia"

- "Medical costs in the US are extremely high. You may need to pay up-front for medical assistance"

I think some Americans don't realize that, outside of America, many people don't ever consider the risk of gun violence in their day-to-day lives, or owing thousands of dollars for visiting a hospital.
Likely out of ignorance of actual violent crime statistics.
Yes: Bryan posted the video of Brendan shouting.
Indeed, the author is not alone. It may be subjective but there are worries one needs to reconcile when planning a trip to the US (both for work as well as private trips). It’s often that we choose another destination or “can we find a way to make this remotely”.
> So only mathematicians use math to explain concepts?

No, only an audience of mathematicians grasp concepts explained exclusively with maths.

Why do you find this surprising? It's no more surprising than "Only an audience of carpenters grasp concepts explained exclusively with joinery terms".

Would you, with a a straight face, make the claim that explaining something using terms like "Cheek", "Mortise & Tenon", "long grain", "Dado" and "Birdsmouth" is a valid way to explain something unrelated to carpentry?

Why then claim that using mathematics terms to explain something unrelated to that specific maths is a good idea?

I mean, this article is a good example: not only does the article get the maths wrong, the maths involved is unrelated to what it the article is trying to explain.
Of course you treat devs with total respect and as people who sometimes get sick, or worries or tired- with the presumption that they're contributing to the generation of profit for the business over the long term.

It's not a social club, there's a requirement for devs to do work. Sometimes this work is boring or drudgery and as people we might say we don't want to do this and rather go sit in the sun and chill.

But the social contract is to either submit to both the interesting and unpleasant aspects of the work or go and be some free spirit elsewhere.

At the end of the day, the advice seeker is responsible for the evaluation of given advice for their situation.

That's a key difference between advice and instruction.

The advice giver cannot know the seeker's situation completely, nor can the advice seeker know the giver's.

An AI cannot be trusted to give The Answer. But you can use AI to explore other perspectives and critique your thoughts—not that its critiques will be correct either. Nonetheless it can help get you on different thinking paths that your normal thought patterns wouldn't guide you on.

True, but those were tiny interventions that hardly affected mainstream USA at all, unlike the brutalizing experience of 9/11, Iraq, and Afghanistan in the following decade.
This is quite concerning, because I've recently started a project that uses webauthn-rs. I want to minimise spam on the project while I don't want to collect PII like emails for login.

I wonder if it means that the author will stop working on the library after their next release, and more importantly, if the UX is going to be horrible with people unable to log in and other issues they mention.

On a tangent, I share their discomforts about travelling to the US. The last time I was there, I felt uncomfortable being out on the streets alone. Maybe the portrayal of police brutality towards POC is a factor (for me).

dang editorialised the previous headline into a Betteridge Law question - "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no" - when it in fact is not such a thing, and strongly makes its case.

Question for the author regarding:

within a business where we have policy around what devices may be acceptable the ability to filter devices does matter.

Is a solution to this on desktop to use GPO policy to add a mandatory "attesting" extension (that you build yourself which just verifies the device is what it says it is), and on mobile to use a webview inside an app with similar attesting info injected into the page context??
Data Alerting Tool
Let's say you are an early-stage startup, and you have a dashboard in place. But now you see yourself refreshing the dashboard every hour to see the update on a specific metric.
