> Windows 3 also uses virtualization for its DOS boxes, but this is "internal" to Windows. OS/2, on the other hand, exposes this entire functionality to the user.

What does this mean? It looks wrong. Of course Windows exposes virtualization to users, otherwise they would not be able to run anything on DOS boxes. That's the entire point, and that's why virtualization is used. Because the difference between a "DOS program" and "real mode operating system" is, due to how such a thin layer DOS is, practically zero. So each DOS box is a full VM emulating everything from VGA to floppy, because your average DOS program is very likely going to access them directly.

The same test program happily runs in a Win95 DOS box.. or even a Windows 10 one. This is not a special OS/2 feature, it's a requirement for running a DOS box.

How can you tell if the company you're interviewing with is rotten on the inside
I'm not sure Japan is the best example here. My experience is that most shops have the price excluding consumption tax printed very prominently in large numbers, and then price including consumption tax is printed in much smaller writing underneath.

The price excluding tax is the only one you can read at a distance, that draws you in. As someone from the UK who is used to seeing price tags show the final price you pay at the till, I was constantly disappointed that items weren't quite such a bargain as I'd first hoped.

On the whole there are still many things that are much cheaper than in the UK though :)
Congratulations on living in a country where there are many people who are vastly richer than you.
You can do this, albeit slightly less reliably, in the US as well. The geolocation isn't perfect, but you could easily put "With delivery to XXXXX [edit]" where XXXXX is a zip code you geolocate off an ip (or lookup in a user profile for a recurring user).
One tool does not necessarily fit all the things. And that would be true of any "ecosystem" that has as many diverse uses as Javascript does.

Versatility is one of Javascript's strengths, not a weakness. And with that versatility you get what seems like too many frameworks.
PSD2 at least has built-in expiration. I have to re-authenticate every 3 months or so I think.
Most people, for a long time, lose the ability to simply "make friends" as they age. Work, family, etc. A lot of the time when you've got mouthes to feed you really only have work to make friends.

I support remote work entirely and I don't want a job that makes me go to an office. I will however note that there were several times in my life I could go a month without seeing another person. It's hard to start hobbies, it's hard to make friends as you get older, etc. Even when remote work allegedly provides all this time to do so.

This post sounds tone deaf and unaware of the actual social problems most normal people have.

> your usecase was different because you have several devices

So we just normalize having multiple devices, and suddenly my use case is the same as everyone else's.

Its not like I'm talking about everyone having a dozen $1,000 devices. Several of my authenticators were like $20-30 and have lasted over a decade even getting thrown in the washing machine and getting left in the rain and dropped in the pool. One was on my keys when I was daily driving a motorcycle in a rainy season and still works a decade later.

People don't find it weird to have two car keys and those things often cost hundreds of dollars these days to be replaced.
Yes, believe it or not I’m able to read.

> I'm sampling problems that I and others run through an LLM

This is not what’s happening unless 100% of the problems they’ve sampled (even outside of this fun little exercise) have been run through an LLM.

They’re pretending like it doesn’t matter that they’re looking at untold numbers of other problems and are not aware whether those are LLM generated or not.
You should call it by its name, it's the "Great Replacement" theory.

The theory was put into words by a French guy, so sure a portion of French people will be sensible to it.

Then you'd also look at last election's results, and more than half the people rejected the National Rally, mostly because of that kind of "make France great again" ideology.

How many wonderful niche products would be around if their owners had tried for a small business instead of a 'huge business' with 'hyper growth'?
I was not making an attempt at language wars. I think JS is a perfectly fine language for what it does, warts and all. I was being a bit flippant with my language, but my intent was to point out that `9.11 > 9.8` is not just an LLM thing, and that people who are quick to dismiss LLM usefulness based on contrived math examples do not apply the same rationale to other systems.

I do think that JavaScript's choice to sort numbers lexicographical instead of arithmetically is a bit silly, but of course no language is free from warts. Of course they cannot change it now, because that would break the web. `JSON.stringify` is also pretty silly while we're at it, but Python's `json.dumps` is no better.
Agreed. My point is that engineering documents read differently than legal documents, but have the same necessity for precision.

Free competition should mean that you don't get punished for winning. There is no sport that punishes a competitor who is constantly winning, as long as they are competing fairly. Imagine Schwarzenegger being banned from Mr Olympia or Gretzky being banned for life from minor league ice hockey. So that the other competitors are given a fair chance of winning.

But every sport punishes competitors who are cheating or being unsportsmanlike. As it should be in the marketplace. But hackers and the EU and US bureaucrats think that being a leader in a market has to be punished for being a "monopoly". While always turning a blind eye to rampant fraud and scams that are in the marketplace everywhere online and offline.
I'm not sure who these presumably tech-adjacent folks are who can't look at a posted price, know something about the tax/tipping/etc. conventions are, and know about what the final bill will be.

That said, I DO agree that hidden facility/resort/etc. fees and the like should go. For years, there was a conference center restoration fee tacked onto hotels all over NYC even the project wasn't even approved. Rental cars at airports are also a nightmare. There is no reason for them.

If you sell a widget in a store, you MUST be able to compute the sales tax. Otherwise, you can't sell it.

And if you can do that, then you might as well print it on the price tag (along with pre-tax price if you want). No buts.

Ditto for online, after you get the customer's ZIP code.

I think this is something much more extreme.

I work for a healthcare company and an email from a business customer today found its way to me asking if we use or plan on using "AI".

The person asking this absolutely makes business decisions and absolutely has no idea what they are talking about. It was clear from the email that all they know is "AI good", "No AI bad".

It would be like outsourcing to India if even business that makes absolutely no sense to outsource like restaurants were talking about outsourcing to India for no other reason than "outsourcing good". Of course, not actually doing anything, just the appearance and lip service as to not appear to fall behind the times.

I'm getting Gunnar computer glasses for night time driving. It's designed for the same problem in a different form: ever-bright LED monitors.

And that's the heart of the problem, really. LEDs are getting brighter everywhere. As thigs get brighter, our vision acclimates to the new brightness until it's not bright enough, which drives demand for brighter things, which we acclimate to, etc. ad nauseum.

As for me, I've switched to eInk panels for reading on the Internet (which is most of what I do) and use a red color filter at night or in dark spaces. I want to save my eyes for as long as possible!
Honestly don’t care to spend time on looking up the various states of 2fa proxies. But I’ve learnt so far that attackers don’t build/use the most advanced tooling you can think of at all times. They often use the simplest thing that gets the job done. If it’s not targeted, it’s fine to not get the credentials of people with a passkey. Up until a significant portion of targets use passkeys, which I highly doubt to be the case as of now.

Additionally, “the kind of person who's prone to non-targeted phishing attacks” is actually everyone — including infosec professionals spending lots of time on phishing campaigns for red team engagements. You just need to be lucky enough to reach them at the right (emotional, stressful, …) moment. Getting grammar and spelling correct and even potentially even slightly customising each email is made much easier by AI. Knowledgeable users might, however, stop once their passkey doesn’t work and try to understand why.
That edition (the Chéruel edition) is the first integral edition of the Mémoires. It's been OCRed a long time ago and has been available in text form for 20+ years. But it has almost no footnotes.

How can i make connections if i didn't get into elite schools is there any way that i can get to know best VC's and best Entrepreneurs because Network=Networth.

I have never met an existing ecosystem where building your tools did not make your life easier, at least in the short term. The trick is knowing when to abandon them in favour of a standard solution.

To put this in perspective one team I was on built their own Android NDK, until the normal one caught up.
It's important to note what you're describing is taking real ownership of your screw ups. Like you said, that means doing what you can fix them and prevent them from happening again. Simply saying 'that's on me' and doing nothing to change isn't what's meant here.

And yes, I have done this my whole career and it works.
Passkeys provide better security regardless of whether passwords continue to be supported. Two reasons off the top of my head:

• Passkeys stop phishing. Using your passkey instead of a password (when both are available) ensures you're actually signing in to the site/service you expect.

• Passkeys have zero value when leaked. Users' private keys remains secret and safe even when public keys are stolen and distributed.

That said, passwords aren't going extinct anytime soon. It will likely become more popular to require 2FA for password users in the meantime, as it should.
That's exactly what I'm doing too, after working with Lit for a few months (which is great) I felt that it would be easier to create a (even) smaller framework specific for my needs with only lit-html. I never been happier with Web Development in my life.

I've been thinking about introducing auth and coupling quotes to specific accounts. If this is high on the wishlist I might need to think about that!

Online retailers could be required to use the best available estimate of the user's location to calculate the tax, like they do for ads.

So if they are logged in with an address on file, it could be that. If not, they could use geolocation, with a note that the tax is estimated. And let the user input a location in a box to show the exact tax.
The issue with online sales is real, but customers exempt from sales tax could just have their final price lowered. That would be the opposite of the current situation. Since there are many fewer tax-exempt sales, and tax-exempt buyers are presumably more sophisticated and less price-sensitive, this would be a net win for customers.
I have not used Devin. But from what I gather from the reviews, Cursor + Composer/Agent will take you a little further than Devin will, for a lot less money. Neither will take you where you expect/want to be. You will still have to do some/a lot of the work yourself.
Hidden and not yet calculated are different things. They should just make a broad and sweeping stances on these hidden fees. The fact they play whack-a-mole from implementing this from industry to industry as the 'need' arises seems silly. If a price is advertised or quoted, it should be inclusive all the things with tax being the one exception.

> While OpenAuth tries to be mostly stateless, it does need to store a minimal amount of data (refresh tokens, password hashes, etc). However this has been reduced to a simple KV store with various implementations for zero overhead systems like Cloudflare KV and DynamoDB. You should never need to directly access any data that is stored in there.

Written like someone who's never actually maintained an identify provider used in B2B contract work. You will inevitably come into contact with people who cannot make things work on their side and are doing things so unexpectedly that logging is insufficient to track down the error. Sooner or later you will need to look at the data actually in storage to figure out what your customers who are threatening to cancel their contract are doing wrong.

I've been there. Many times.
I'm not living in denial, I think LLMs are extremely useful and have huge potential. But people that are all "omg my startup did this and we reduced our devs by 150% so it must be the end-all tech!" are just as insufferable as the "nope the tech is bad and won't do anything at all" crowd.

And before you mention, the hyperbole is for effect, not as an exact representation.

Microsoft Authenticator push notifications are even worse. It's super easy to lose accounts if you lose your device because they are not included in backups and there's no warning that you should have two devices registered when setting it up.

Normal users aren't going to keep a backup device, let alone keep track of which accounts are associated with which devices they own. Normal users need something in a portable format that can be backed up. Anything that can be backed up can be stolen and anything that can be stolen shouldn't be used for single factor auth like Passkeys are promising.

Rust is categorically different from all of these other things. Lisps (and OCaml) all have interactivity as a core language feature - Rust is as non-interactive as it gets.

We have been using Gemini 1.5 Flash at enterprise scale on a massively varied, form based document dataset and we have yet to see hallucinations, on either our ground-truth dataset or in our random audits for evaluation. Just to make sure though we threw some recursion on it: we take the output and give it right back to the model with the original prompt and output and ask it how accurate it is. If it thinks it's not accurate we tell it to rewrite the original prompt to provide for a more accurate output. We then stuff that right back down its own function :)

For your use-case it would be exponentially easier as all you'd need to provide Gemini your "zones" as the JSON schema for output and it will quite reliably identify them.

Social media hasn't borne itself out to be a great place for love and companionship. It is pretty good for spreading sensational propaganda but it's counterproductive to useful knowledge exchange. One thing for sure is it's a really bad idea to leverage your self esteem off social media.

Ditto. If anything, trying to add it into an existing codebase via JSDoc has only really been a detriment via being a massive time sink. It might have caught maybe 4-5 bugs in the code but none that presented a large enough issue to warrant the time investment. If you're starting from scratch with TS instead of JSDoc, it might be worth it, but even on the best of days trying to figure out typing oddities from library typings being wrong and such have only really added headache. As always YMMV

> A higher price is more accurate than the pretax price

Well, no, it isn’t. Consider the Oregon/Washington border. An IP could bounce around there. Oregon has zero sales tax so the pre-tax price is literally correct for Oregon residents. Adding estimated tax will be less accurate.

Similarly I could live in unincorporated King County such as White Center and not be subject to Seattle tax while still being subject to King County and Washington tax even though the other side of the street is Seattle.

There’s a sugary drink tax in Seattle. The border is Roxbury. There’s a 7/11 on Roxbury in White Center. Should a 7/11 sandwich board on the Seattle side of the street across from that 7/11 advertise the price with or without that tax?
