Indeed. Alt-right/left/whatever. Very potent tactics as you can tell even from reading this thread.

You would think people who come to these bitter realizations would know better but many inevitably land on "the ends justifies the means" or the less sophisticated "only our scum enemies lie!" and round and round we go.

There seems to exist python front ends to embree. How good this one is, I don't know.
I can give specifics.

* Their syncing broke, and their support promised that buying a subscription would make it work. I did. It didn't. A year later I managed to get it fixed. I'm now on a permanent subscription for something I used to own -- that's not bad by itself, but the feeling I've been taken advantage of, and promised something that was false, leaves a bad taste.

* Syncing sometimes doesn't work anyway. I might add an account on my laptop and not be able to access it on my phone for a day or more.

* It's much buggier. Sometimes the Mac app just doesn't appear when you click the menu bar icon (this happened to me just a minute ago.) You have to right-click and select Open 1Password to get the full app, after which the menu bar app will now work. Sometimes. Right now, it's not no matter what I do. Why? No idea, it's random.

* Basic password features seem missing. There is _still_ no way to edit in a 'Remember me' checkbox on a login form. I would like 1P to set that checkbox.

* The UX design gets worse each release. In 1Password 8 they removed the useful menu in the Mac menu bar. I can't check what it is now because of the bug above, but it used to show a list of passwords. Now it has some kind of pseudo-intelligent other menu that has to be invoked via a shortcut and the Mac menu bar app actually does almost nothing useful.

* Not to mention their UX design which comes from the "hide buttons until you mouse over and click a button you didn't realise was there" school of intuitiveness.

* More UX: the iOS app now has a list of favorites, but it's almost impossible to get the info you want. Take a bank card: you can tap it in the list to show the name, card number, etc, but if you want the ATM pin -- which is the number I most forget, and the useful one because my card number is saved everywhere that uses it -- you have to dig into the item itself. How? Via a tiny, tiny untappable arrow.

Worst is that interactions with them show an attitude that they think they're building a better and better app each release. They're not. I cannot wait until I can move away to the new Passwords app.

It doesn't. But it does allow preventing stuff like like seeing through walls. Although it would have to fail around corners for a short distance so players don't pop into view. Server authoritative solves less and less cheating problems the more sensitive to latency the game is. Non twichy RTS games could not send everything in the fog of war for example, and after checking for super human input, you'd have solved a good chunk of cheats.

Not sure what the macro story is in Gleam but in Elixir you could write Increment/Decrement macros that ties into the process API. Kinda contrived example though.
On my Android Pixel you only need to highlight the text and a definition pops up which can then be swiped further up for other search options
Well Gleam doesn't have supertypes, so the function signature (even when inferred) does describe everything your function could possibly produce. If the author changes that, your code will stop compiling, not blow up at runtime.

I agree that packages authors really should annotate their types though, and possibly that they ought to be forced to do so, just to make reading the code easier.
NPR is state-funded and is far-far left.

If you consider PBS and BBC to somehow be conservative I guess that's why things are entirely unclear to you. What on earth would you like me to cite?

Ahem..
> covertly critical of the enemy

The radio is now based in Prague, it has a long history here and most people were quite happy to hear some real news during the communism. People tuning in risked prison time just to hear something else. I would not say you needed to be overtly critical, it was enough to just bring real news.
> And they give it to governments upon request.

So in other words, "companies operating within a nation are expected to abide by the laws of that nation"?

Apple structures their systems to limit the data they can turn over by request, and documents what data they do turn over. What else do you believe they should be doing?
> Maybe one of the next BEAM languages will handle that automatically for us.

It not being automatic is a feature as that pattern is only what you want in the trivial case, but in real programs you are going to want more control.

In early Elixir there was a relatively popular macro library[1] that offered what you ask for (see code example below) but as Elixir matured and started being used in more than toy projects it was largely abandoned.

As far as I can tell from fiction (and even some nonfiction!) from prior centuries, having strong societal* expectations of permanent marriage doesn't do much for happiness, but does do a lot to normalise infidelity.

* it also seems evident that what we call "societal expectations" were most strongly held by certain layers of their societies, and other layers were much more willing to shrug and say "life goes on", "you never can tell", etc.

I don't have the answer to your question, but, are you sure it's Google blocking itself in your country? I'm sure it's not the entirety of Africa as I've accessed Google services in other African countries.

More likely, your government has blocked the Google services; a tell tail sign might be whether or not the page that tells you it's unavailable is a Google page or not. Does it have Google branding, perhaps a notice from Google to say that they've blocked it and why?
Wouldn't surprise me if the source for the updates is the same engine that supplies the App Store.

No it doesn't. It's just not a product that is designed for your requirements.

It's also not a product designed with my requirements either as I feel they take the piss with their "stable" ideology especially when a project doesn't follow the versioning scheme that Debian wants it to. But it doesn't make it wrong, it's just unsuitable for what you want.

Use Suse or Fedora if you want a simple yet up to date Linux. The rest of us who just want an up to date working system already did.

Our letter to Microsoft.

During our research of Visual Studio Code extensions in the past few weeks we've found an alarming amount of security design flaws that deserve the security community’s attention. The lack of a permission model, automatic silent updates, and unrestricted capabilities are just a few issues that poses a direct threat to organizations who use Visual Studio Code.

None of the US comments are true in the large areas of Georgia and Arizona that I'm familiar with. Sidewalks are very uncommon. One side of street only, if even there. Which is problematic at multilane intersections. Then the kid has to cross twice on each side. I actually managed to get a crossing light installed on my kid's bike route to school by complaining to a city council member. There are traffic jams at every school for drop-off/pick-up. Drive through the quite nice looking housing developments on weekends/holidays and there are zero children out and about. My wife and I think that's very sad.

That said, my kid rode a bike to school from 5-10th grades in Arizona. She was the only kid that did that.

There are about 7 grocery stores within 5 miles of my suburban house. I have never seen anyone walk/bike to any of them. (I look.) If you tried to you would spend quite a bit of time navigating parking/road infrastructure where the drivers clearly believe is their entire right of way.

In Mexico you would think it would be much worse, but it is light years better. Kids take care of getting themselves to school in Paris, from what we have seen.

This idea that "unless universal, the claim false" is... not helpful. As a family in suburban US we did the bike thing. It fucking sucked.

1password 8 on iOS is fine and I note no issues with it, it just works.

On macOS 1pw 7 worked with no issues, 1pw 8 doesn't

However the big issue is that 1pw8 requires you to use their cloud - so if someone takes over the company and changes things or the company goes bust or even if the company's servers get hit by DDOS you lose all things.
1pw7 allowed you to keep the main db on anything and use multiple sync mechanism. For example you could keep the data all on machines you own, you could be a business and that would matter for security. Yes cloud etc is secure but there are cases where you don't want things to be anywhere not on your machines.

Both devices are Yubikey 5 series, and none of the other services asked for anything similar, or triggered any warnings.

Moreover, none of the service providers auto-named my keys with make/model, etc.

> If I have two entries for registered credentials, it is nice if I have some way to differentiate them, such as knowing one of them is a Yubico 5Ci while the other is an iPhone.

First, Google doesn't differentiate the security keys' name even if you allow for that data to be read, plus you can always rename your keys to anything you want, at any of the service providers I enrolled my keys, so it doesn't make sense.

Moreover, Firefox didn't warn me for any other services which I enrolled my keys, and none of them are small providers by any means.

So, it doesn't add up much.
If people invested as much time improving their abilities as they did gaming the system, they might find the problem solves itself.
A day is barely enough time to have even a first go at a more serious problem. Why would you push failed starts into the main branch? And why do you think it's somehow better to have code behind a runtime branch (if) rather than a git branch?

I am (mostly) a backend developer - so I deal with languages like C#, communicating with databases like MySQL, SQL Server, etc.. and sending data back (to things like) the frontend, such as HTML/Javascript.

Despite this - I can do frontend development as well - but I have reached a point where I cannot be asked to learn new Javascript framework or libraries. Personally I just think it has become bloated, so I leave that for those that do know/understand.. like full-time React developers. I cannot be bothered as I am sure some new toy will come out in the next few years and replaces it.

My opinion... and I understand it is apples and oranges... is web development could be much easier than it is today. Back in '00s we were using old school PHP or Classic ASP to return compiled HTML content and, mostly, full screen refreshes. Eventually, Javascript gained more responsibilities giving us JQuery. We had simple GET and POST functionalities, allowing us to refresh part of the page, etc.

By around the 2010's I remember KnockoutJS and, eventually, AngularJS. Web development was changing and I accepted this. While I saw some benefits with auto refreshing hooks or the like.. the end was a lot of bloat... more lines of code. Some of which is duplicated in the frontend as well as the backend.

Between 2016 to 2021 I stopped web development. I started a job as a GUI application developer. When I returned to web development I am now seeing Node being used... Grunt being used... with some websites sticking to JQuery while another is using React. I am in shock at how complicated things has gotten!

To me, with my years of experience, feel like I am going full circle back to the old methods of web development... just with modern tools! I leaned back to jQuery for personal projects. It is easy to follow (in my opinion) -- but I came across HTMX in 2023 and really enjoying it!

Using HTMX, With odd exceptions, my javascript code is mostly a compliment to my CSS. The amount of code is reduced by 60-80%!

Since then I have started using HTMX for web projects at work -- with positive feedback from the team. We are, one by one, moving our projects over to HTMX. It is just easier to deal with.

Our team only has half a dozen developers. We are mostly backend devs but OK with react. Some are better than others. We have agreed that with HTMX we are getting things done a lot easier. We no longer have to bother with the additional layer that is React. We also stopped using jQuery.

Now I am not suggesting HTMX replaces React for all cases. Its just, for our use cases, it has done the job remarkably well.. and we are doing complicated web sites.

Having a team of React devs may be needed in a number of scenarios - I, thinking of all websites I have built over the last 20 years, struggle to find one.

There is a saying that is going to offend, but I think those that dislike or hating on HTMX are those that have invested their time on (things like) React. I also hear that HTMX guys are like a cult. That might be true to a degree. I am sure some will suggest I am one of them with this comment.

- React creates jobs, but HTMX gets rid of them.
