“Passkeys, developed by the FIDO Alliance, with support from major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, offer a more secure and user-friendly alternative to traditional passwords“

is a lying, surreptitious statement.

Yes, “passkeys” are public-private key pairs, but no different in theory from, say, ssh public/private keys. Whoever is pushing passkeys today though, at this point, is just trying to improve your security (good) while simultaneously locking you into their stuff, Forever (Very Bad).

Passkeys are not “user-friendly” because they take control away from users, promote lock-in that prevents users from switching platforms, and remain something that could be improved… but the powers that be have no intention of doing so because their only goal is to fuck you.

Without an open storage protocol and transfer method, not involving any third party “letting” you do so or collaborating to force you to store cryptographic material in their place or format, this is just another attempt to control you and screw you over.

FAFO at your own risk.

I installed Fedora on laptops of few mine friends during last years. All of them are using it till today.

One of them was really sceptical, but after while said "I though linux is more for nerds and more different than Win." Well, she is just casual user of browser, few chat apps, Kodi and occasionally libre office, but still positive with change.

However while I use linux on server and laptop, I cannot use it on workstation beacuse of Adobe that I need for professional work.
I am very sorry for your experience - that's entirely horrible.

I'm the same as you, too, and pondering the deeper, thinking answers.

That whole process sounds messed up. I would say over 99% (and that's not an exaggeration, but literal) of our invol patients do not have police involved (other than to submit paperwork to the hospital), let alone cuffs. Our EMS protocols DO require soft restraints during transport, but we generally make a point of being apologetic about it, putting them on at the last moment and that we will take them off ASAP (essentially once the ambulance is in Park). Even this is only because, unfortunately, some of those patients have attempted to exit a moving ambulance, sometimes at freeway speeds.

I'm curious what papers were put in front of you, though, as the whole point of the involuntary custody process is that your acknowledgement is not necessary (at that point - after the mental health hold hearing, in front of a judge - you are asked to acknowledge/sign, but not required).
Counterintuitively, it also requires a willingness to break what appear at first to be unbreakable rules. Most of the worst programmers I know seem to see their work as "how can I accomplish a task without breaking what I see as the rules", without having fully understood the system. That quickly turns into copypasta, extra layers of abstraction, over configurability, and many of the other plagues of programming.

This has only happened to me with a couple of individuals. Usually in these cases I'll leave a comment and it will just never be addressed; the author will request another reviewer and my comment is ignored.

I don't hold PRs hostage and if things go more than one or two rounds of back-and-forth then I'll almost always yield to the author.
I've also been on a sailboat put on its side during a terrible storm (a Tartan 42). I was on watch and tethered to the rail. For a moment, everything was at what felt like 90 degrees - but probably less in reality -and I was suspended in the air. One of the scariest moments of my life. Despite "knowing" how keels work, I was sure we were going over, and surprised when the boat righted itself.
I think I prefer 100+ degree heat to -40. Where I live we often get both in the same year (though we didn't hit 100 this particular summer).

At least with the heat, you aren't worrying that your plumbing might freeze and burst a pipe in your walls if the power goes out.
If you find yourself ping-ponging back and forth on the review, waiting 24h for a review that you fix in five minutes and then wait another 24h for re-review, you should treat it like any other asynchronous process that you find yourself wishing was synchronous - stop, get both you and the reviewer in a room, get to approval within the room, or at least to a point where it's clear you have more than five minutes worth of work to get to approval.

Just because your code forge has a code review feature doesn't mean that all your code review behavior must be tracked in it.

"If I think about the larger arc of history, what I see is intellectuals taking it on the chin again and again — and to the point, now, where ‘high culture’ seems to a startling extent to be almost wiped off the societal landscape.

It’s not enough here to resort to the obvious stereotypes about intellectuals being impractical eggheads. At different phases of history, intellectuals have wielded astonishing power and influence. The question is what the structures are that in some cases move intellectuals towards the center of the society and in some cases obviate their influence almost altogether."

A tiered approach to sales can help here.

Cheap version offers minimal support. (Although you still have to sift "bug reports" into my problem/ your problem.)

Standard version allows for more support (but still rate limited.)

Developer version charges for time spent, in advance.

This helps because people only expect free support if you don't explicitly offer something else. If you offer paid support them it's reasonable and expected that there are limits on free support.

Sadly I'm moving back to Windows by the end of the month due to the lack of audio production software, the only area where WINE, virtual machines with USB passthrough fail..

I'll still use Linux VMs for various services while my host is Windows and I'll develop in WSL but it's sad that a creative niche like audio production has practically no players in the Linux scene, I'm talking Native Instruments, Spitfire, EastWest, Dorico, even MuseScore with its MuseHub do not run under NixOS for example. Quite a shame.
Rye was started by Armin as a collection of existing tools (mostly) with a frontend similar to cargo.

Then Astral came out with uv which aims to be a frontend into a collection of their own tools similar to cargo.

Armin and Astral agreed for Astral to take over Rye some time during uv development with (I assume) the goal for uv to fully replace Rye.

Use uv. As of 0.3.0 it covers most of rye now anyway. Especially if you’re writing projects and not consumable libs/apps (I haven’t used uv for anything other than package management so far).

Until I decided to start "reinventing the wheel" and just not using abstractions from popular libraries and frameworks I really struggled to actually understand what is happening.

I feel like a week isn't anywhere near close enough but depending on what you want to do it gets you to start tinkering. Ironically I do wish that I had started working on embedded with microcontrollers than starting with web purely because there isn't space for absurd abstractions.

On web even the DOM API is a huge abstraction over rendering calls to OpenGL/DirectX/Vulkan and I never could grok what is happening with the DOM API until I played with the underlying tech and learnt about trees and parsers and how that would be stored.

I still use the DOM and love the abstraction, but sometimes I just wish I could use an immediate mode approach instead of the retained mode that the DOM is...

Someone with a week of knowledge, or even someone who has spent 10 years building react may not understand half of that unless they have actively tried to learn it. Thwy might have an idea if they had formal education but a self taught programmer.

I want to see the criminals in the medical ethics community who ever greenlit this nonsense to have justice served upon them. Europeans would jail American doctors for what they do to babies here.

> I think everyone's mental health is being neglected today…Specifying men/women takes away from the argument…

A discussion focusing on one group and their specific needs doesn’t take away from any other discussions about other groups and their needs. Attempting to shut down discussion, like you have attempted, about a specific group and their needs is perpetuating the ignoring of male mental health problems and their amelioration. The discussion about male mental health has to occur sometime, don’t get in the way.
We had a Salesforce consultant who was like this. I'd send him a list of five things he needed to do to make his jitterbit connection work with our internal API.

He'd do one thing, report that it still didn't work. I'd ask if he did the other four things. He'd do the next thing, report that it still didn't work, etc.

God only knows how much that department was paying him.
For my money the Milgauss is the standout of that montage. I've always loved the "quirky" colours, and the lightning-bolt hand stands out a little.

But watches are pretty personal, and it's okay to have different tastes. I like that the author knew what was important to them - for me I avoid Roman Numerals, and subdials as both look too busy. I try to avoid date-complications for the same reason, and if I must have them I abhor the cyclops.

My watches range from the casio terrorist, through mass-produced soviet pieces that were made before I was born, all the way to high end Swiss pieces. I still wake up and change my watch based on what kinda mood I'm in, or what I'm doing.

You're speaking nonsense. If you use a bad app, that's on you. There are plenty of 2FA apps that work just fine.
A correction to the history mentioned in the article: CMOV has not been added by AMD around 2000.

CMOV has been added by Intel in 1995, to Pentium Pro. It was the most important addition to the x86 ISA added by Pentium Pro. So CMOV was supported by Pentium Pro and its successors, like Pentium 2 or Pentium III, but it was not supported by Pentium, Pentium with MMX or AMD K6 CPUs. AMD has added CMOV starting with Athlon, in 1999.

Pentium Pro was the first Intel CPU with out-of-order execution and it did much more speculative execution than its predecessors. Therefore it had the need for CMOV to limit the performance loss caused by branch mispredictions.

> Never enable 2FA for accounts that you actually care about

This is an extremely bad take for two reasons:

1. The author failed to store the 2FA Secret Key. This is exposed by any good 2FA app, but not by bad 2FA apps. The Secret Key must be backed up. A good 2FA app will backup everything easily with an encrypted password.

2. The author doesn't store or use backup codes for the app or site.

In short, the author is completely irresponsible, and then has the audacity to give bad advice.
Me too. I was asking myself what sort of neighborly attributes a strong wifi passphrase indicates.
It was 1812; they'd barely discovered how to generate electricity. But note that they describe effects like a persistent dry fog dimming sunlight over NA. That would have an effect on solar production and that was half a world away from the eruption.

> The idea of a global darkness for a significant period of time, would be extinction level.

Your scenario not mine; and I don't know why it needs to be global. I'm talking a 12-month period with much less sunshine than normal. A scenario which other sources of power would be independent of but that solar would be very correlated with. Since the nuclear disasters we've seen so far can be escaped by walking away from them slowly, that sort of rare volcanic event influencing solar production would probably be more damaging than a nuclear plant meltdown. It could kill a lot of people.

It is similar to Fukushima where the fact that they had an unsafe nuclear plant that maybe roughly doubled the damage caused by the tsunami that hit Japan. Heavy solar use might do something similar with big volcanic eruptions. We don't really know because we've never tried mass solar use before so it is a bit hard to judge how bad catastrophic failures are vs. nuclear.

> Right now a house is a much much much larger liability than it has ever been

I was curious why you believed that. Other commenters have helped me understand why you believe that's the case. My opinion is that we're in the middle of a housing shortage in many places. Interest rates are up, but people are still buying houses, so the liability, for places where people are still buying houses isn't three "much"es level of liability in my mind (and my area). If it becomes a millstone around your neck, sell the house. Which is easier said than done, but that's where I'm coming from.

They despise dependencies so much. Half of there life is to get rid of them - declared as "risks" and "depending on some guy down the hall who codes really well" just makes them loose sleep at night.

And they put so much effort into this side-quest. No code, low code, everyone codes, simple languages, uml-programing,graph-based programing, so easy my intern can do it, outsourced programming, code by specs, all just to get rid of that dependency that can not be- and it never works out. The complexity was inside the company and its product all along.
