My default PW gen rule is only alphanumerics, far too many websites have issues with special characters. It’s also 24 in length because that tends to fit most, while 32 gives me frequent errors.
That’s the biggest lie of capitalism. I do think in time it does work out largely in that direction but the windy road to get there is ripe with bear traps and pits of despair.

To qualify that statement, if it doesn’t improve shareholder value, it doesn’t matter. And the worst CEOs will take the short term gain for their personal gain over what’s better for the company and thus customers long term.
Which, this being a git repo, makes perfect sense, as despite the impression GitHub gave to a whole generation of developers, Git was designed with a different contribution workflow in mind: one of sending patches by e-mail. Cloning the repo locally, making changes, formatting a patch, and sending it to the maintainer, seems to be perfectly withing bounds of both intent and text of the license.
I was all-in on mobile web apps, but apple’s policy around iOS and browsers pretty much forced my hand. I had to watch how a native app team rewrote the web app I had already built, with the same feature set, except with notifications and more offline storage, crucial requirements at the time. This was over a decade ago, and while things have gotten a little better, the gap between what a web developer can do on iOS and what a native developer can do has never been wider.

Even caching is normally unnecessary.

Honestly, HN front page traffic isn’t much. For most, it probably peaks at about one page load¹ per second², and if your web server software can’t cope with that, it’s bad.

Even if your site uses PHP and MySQL and queries the database to handle every request, hopefully static resources bypass all that and are served straight from disk. CPU and memory usage will be negligible, and a 100Mbps uplink will handle it all easily. So then, hopefully you’re only left with one request that’s actually doing database work, and if it can’t answer in one whole, entire second, it’s bad.

(I’m talking about general web pages here, not web apps, which have a somewhat different balance; but still for most things HN traffic shouldn’t cause a sweat, even if you’ve completely ignored caching.)

Seriously, a not-too-awful WordPress installation on a Raspberry Pi could probably cope with HN traffic.

> TruthSocial and X have become right-wing staples.

I may be completely off, of course, but whenever I look at Twitter (without owing an account, so can't do it properly), I see people engaged in heated cross-wing arguments. If Twitter were so right-wing, wouldn't you expect far less arguments as there wouldn't be so many people voicing the opposite viewpoint? For comparison, how many users argue left-wing opinions on TruthSocial?

What is the low end? Austria has a similar problem. There are some quite old and unmaintained AON networks where people are stuck with 100MBit whereas even G.Fast copper eclipses that in some cities at this point.

Who's still making that argument? The invisiblle hand died at least 30 years ago. So the endgame is simply monopolization (especially since the FTC has been getting gutted for a decade now, and is being gutted in real time). And monopolization removes choice.

Then think of the music first and then find a suitable target device and configuration: enough tracks and channels for the various parts, appropriate synthesis and effect possibilities (FM/PM, phase distortion and wavetables, good filters, LFOs, reverb and distortion...) for the timbres you intend to use, a sufficiently high bit depth and sample rate to avoid unwanted artifacts (or a sufficiently low bit depth and sample rate to cause wanted artifacts).

I wonder how well those correlate with poor password storage security practices (plaintext, lack of salt, lack of encryption, etc.)
Little story:

My wife's bank was using a numeric id as the login until last month. They had token based and then app based codes instead of passwords, which was decent.

This month they forced her to pick an user name instead of the numeric code to login. They required her to have at least one capital letter and a number. In the user.

Yes. My very large employer hasn't required me to change my password in over two years. But at the same time, 2FA requirements have changed to more secure forms (going from having to select one of 3 numbers on a prompt to having to type in the number, for example), and some resources can only be accessed using a hardware key or even a special laptop.
No, at least that's what I'm going for as well, at least for monospace fonts in editors and such. I can't stand the slightly blurry look of antialiased fonts and absolutely prefer the crisp edges of traditional bitmap fonts.
For comments like these I wonder how a Firefox developer would read it. You're doing an honest job on an open source browser, fixing bugs, patching vulnerabilities, adding features to keep up with web standards, knowing virtually nobody pays for it — Google needs to fund your paycheck because no one else can be arsed. And then you see opinions like the ones in this thread about how evil you "obviously" are and how you're supposedly milking the brand name

> painfully obvious [that it's] time to fork Firefox and kick Mozilla to the curb

What's probably painful and apparently not obvious is how many developer hours go into upkeep and staying current for a modern browser (to me, they seem about as complex and elaborate as your average operating system, not that that's necessarily a good thing)

Which is why you'd need to sign your posts first, so that you can migrate to a new node, use the same key, re-create your old signed history on the new node.

Whichever way they choose to resolve this issue I think it's a major pain point for the fedi to grow.

From an end user standpoint Nostr is way too complex. If we're talking about the fedi being complex, Nostr can forget about it.

But maybe you can prove me wrong. I setup my first fedi node back in 2017 in minutes because there was a container image, people could start signing up immediately. Can you show me how to do the same in Nostr?

This is a cool step toward Tabarrok's Dominant Assurance Contracts; and as a game theory enjoyer, I approve of it.

However, I'm not certain it's a minimum viable product, as it is now. If I were considering whether to join in a collective action where my participation itself is potentially damaging to me, unless enough people join, I would be looking for some sort of legal and/or technical safeguard for my info, on the front page. Those safeguards would define the limits of the actions I would join.

E.g., if I were going to protest a church in my small town for its patrons illegally parking in all the neighborhoods' driveways, I would be satisfied with an informal pledge from the owners not to give up names to anyone without a subpoena. But if I were thinking about joining a group Naruto-run into Area 51, I would want some kind of encryption with a Byzantine Agreement Protocol going on.
quite a surreal change; is it just that the CFO's endless cost cutting has reached this? did it just hit serving or actually maintaining the data? one has to assume you'd have seen a VP of search resign if it was the latter.

The buttons are visible, but automatic switch to the next image is annoying. I suggest either disabling the switch completely, or as soon as one of the switch buttons is clicked.
As usual, there are well-qualified exceptions. If you are very certain the table scan can't hurt, sure. But in my experience, an index wouldn't hurt any in those cases.
With any reasonable resolution screen (1080p or more), you can have both good preservation of letter forms and a non-blurry image, simply by applying a sharpening filter after antialiasing. Some image downsampling methods, such as Lanczos filtering, effectively do this for you. The tradeoff is one can detect some very fine 'ringing' artifacts around the sharpened transitions, but these don't impact readability in any way.

Unfortunately that opens you open to a social engineering attack, 9 times out of 10 if you call the helpdesk for a password reset and they ask you the questions and you answer "some random junk I don't remember" they'll reset it for you..
> I'm "pulling this from" the settings on my browser. When I look at the check box in preferences it's unchecked and greyed out.

> I don't see any discussion of telemetry as controlling this behaviour.

As I mentioned: If the check box is greyed out, the feature is implicitly disabled, probably because you don't have telemetry enabled. The setting could be more explicit about this, which I'm sure they will refine in the future once the feature actually does anything.

You seem to be looking for a reason to be angry, but apparently Firefox picked the exact default you were looking for.

You're talking about experts in programming language design. They decided that C's syntax was the best for their needs.

> The idea that advertisers are owed any more data than that, or that the developers of web browsers need to bend to the will of the surveillance capitalists is insane.

It's a zero sum game. If others are doing it, then their advertising is more effective, the advertising cost per sale is lower, they are more competitive, and so every company is forced to do the same.

But if nobody is able to do it, then there will be no great loss for the consumer. Advertisers could argue that the inherent advertising overhead of every product is slightly higher and so consumers would have to pay higher prices. I would argue that this is a reasonable price to pay for privacy across the board, just as we all have to pay for the implementation of regulations that mandate safe products.

So we can expect advertisers to push for competitive reasons, but equally if we comprehensively resist so as not to favour competition that isn't similarly restricted, then I agree with you that there is no actual threat to commerce.
What situation are you referring to?
I really like this article.

One thing the article doesn’t mention is that a fresh leader can validate their progress towards managerial success by comparing their progress against their peers. That won’t make anyone a better leader, but it can serve to indicate if their hard work is aligned with progress in the right direction or if they need some guidance and realignment.

Kudos for your project -- it is great fun and a learning experience to implement your own HTTP server in a low(er)-level language.

One question: you say that "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked responds with 411 Length Required, prompting the client to resend with Content-Length". Is there a reason for doing this (security perhaps), or is it just a choice?
> Any query that's not a one-off should not perform any table scans. A table scan today can mean an outage tomorrow

I disagree.

There are queries where a table scan is the most efficient access strategy. These are typically analytical/aggregation queries that usually query the whole table. And sometimes getting only 50% of all rows is better done using a table scan as well.

I also don't see how a (read only) "table scan" could leave to an outage. It won't block concurrent access. The only drawback is that it results in a higher I/O load - but if the server can't handle that, it would assume it's massively undersized.

> in time it does work out largely in that direction

To be fair, that's usually thanks to government interventions and regulations, not thanks to free market staying free.

Markets fail for very known, very well described reasons. When they do, they rarely recover on their own, and the abusive rent seekers only become more entrenched with time (again, in the absence of regulations to curb that).

In this startup community we see a lot of "disruption" (free-market-success) stories, but in the broader world, things don't usually work out that way, and when they do, it's often just to replace one rent seeker with another.

Part of the reason is that it's been a commercial database until recently. I also think it hasn't helped that it's closely associated with Clojure (for natural reasons), which might make Java developers turn away from it.
