Paraphrases are much easier than passwords in this regard. Though I fear keylogging more than brute forcing what my main password is.

But this is why I use security keys like yubikeys. Doesn’t matter if an attacker knows my main password for any number of reasons, there’s fuckall they can do with it without my physical key.

And even if they get into my vault and extract passwords, for many websites (in particular the most important ones) they’d still need to use my security key, they can’t just use the passwords.

Attacks are still possible (with browser session fuckery?) but much harder that yet another breach where a website was storing passwords in plaintext

Generally when one group shrinks in evolution, it doesn't reduce for long the total pressures on the environment. What usually happens is other groups grow into the new opportunities that have opened up.
After I interviewing at OtterTune a while back and being bombarded with multiple rounds of leetcode questions, I somehow knew OtterTune wouldn't make it
Prompt: In the Netherlands, in terms of drinks, is there a particular spirit that represents the country?

> Yes, in the Netherlands, jenever (also known as genever) is the traditional spirit that represents the country. Jenever is a type of Dutch gin that has a distinctive flavor, often made from malt wine and flavored with juniper berries. It has a long history in the Netherlands, dating back to the 16th century, and is considered the precursor to modern gin.

> Jenever comes in two main types: oude (old) jenever, which has a richer, maltier flavor and is often aged in wooden casks, and jonge (young) jenever, which is lighter and has a more neutral taste. Both types can be enjoyed straight or used in cocktails.

> In addition to jenever, the Netherlands is also known for its liqueurs, such as advocaat, a rich and creamy drink made from eggs, sugar, and brandy, often enjoyed as a dessert or in cocktails. However, jenever remains the most iconic spirit associated with Dutch culture.

This is completely wrong. Jenever certainly is very Dutch, but no one would say it is iconic as the Dutch spirit. For example, if you asked up north in Friesland, they would say Berenburg.

This happens literally every time. Someone always says "ChatGPT can do this!", but then within one or two prompts, its gets it wrong.
FastRawViewer (only Win/Mac, paid software) shows true RAW decoding (not embedded JPEG previews!) faster than 90% of other software shows cached previews.

Also, Adobe Bridge works with folders without any formal "collection" or "import" concepts. It cache meta and previews in user's home directory, but it is transparent to the user.
FWIW, you can store 2FA/TOTP tokens on more than one device. For example, I store many on two separate Yubikeys.

Then again, I do this for accounts that I really care about, I just keep TOTP in my password manager for accounts that are not worth the effort.
AFAICT, at this stage, it's not really actionable for the general population, is it? H1N1 and H3N2 are much more dangerous today, so the general population would be much better served by articles talking about normal flu hygiene.

Other than people who work with birds & cattle. It'd be really nice to see a campaign to get them immunized for the flu to reduce the risk of a co-infection that can hybridize H5N1.
Integru has been really great for us. Curious how you think about differentiation?

Jumping from x86 to arm may be worth it just because of how little power it needs. Perhaps you'd like a laptop where the fan never [*] turns on enough to be audible and with 20 hours battery life?

They fixed the keyboard and the trackpad has been good even in the emoji keyboard models.

Yeah, no. They absolutely did not do everything in their capacity. The complete opposite is my anecdotal unsourced take.

Well, I guess we'll shortly have some data to investigate this hypothesis more deeply.
> if the less convenient method causes people to come up with workarounds then it would be worse even if in theory it's more secure

but that's literally what this is... the less convenient method (2FA) caused people to come up with workarounds (saving 2FA secrets in their password vaults)... and I'm saying it's horrible
From the URL you posted. “There was actually no shortage of food grains, but what worried the people and the Government was the increase in food grains prices.”

React for me has several large advantages (no specific order):
1. declarative dom updates is way easier than imperative
2. frontend components

Additionally typescript needs a compile step anyways so it's not super complicated to just add react to it.

I think many people bounced off React 5 years ago when in 2025 React apps are easy to get started with (basically no config), have negligible hot reload + build times, and largely have become a joy to use.
Macbooks have been nice since M1 era, but the Intel Macbooks between years 2013-2020 were hardly robust. My partner's 2014 MBP Retina's screen plastic film started peeling off, which was a known design flaw of those models. Later the ones with butterfly keyboard were notoriously unreliable, with keys getting stuck.

Personally I haven't had much trouble with Linux on modern Thinkpads. Very little to configure manually, as long as you pick the right distro. Even a Dell laptop at work with Linux isn't causing me much OS-related issues, although battery life sucks.
> seven isolated chat/social profiles on seven separate VPN/Tor connections

Bravo for you, but surely you realize that almost nobody does this? Hardly relevant to an article about getting some more useful life out of an old laptop.
Although the addiction model is controversial and not widely accepted, most professionals do acknowledge that psychological problems can drive maladaptive sexual behavior that causes significant personal and professional impairment. It’s important to stress that pornography use alone is not considered maladaptive, irrespective of local cultural norms that seek to restrict the sexual behavior of consenting adults.

AASECT (the largest professional body of sex therapists in the United States) has a definition of Out of Control Sexual Behavior, and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder is retained by the ICD. Most consumers of pornography do not meet either definition, but it’s important to recognize that some do.

This anecdote does not remotely disprove the assertion.
Even if it is, most of the keys are interchangeable. Your fingers don’t care that the M key has an N on it.
Passkeys are 1 factor authentication.

They are often better than only using a password (merely due to the fact that most humans pick terrible passwords).

But using a password + 2FA generally is safer than passkeys. This is especially true if you use webauthn for 2FA, since now one of your factors is basically the passkey.
The article mentioned that we already have some limited supplies of a vaccine for H5N1. Just curious, what’s keeping us from adding it to the yearly flu shot mix ahead of time?
The most important bit of information is missing from your post: was everyone using 2FA? If yes, then you make a relevant point.
I'm not suggesting "lockdowns" here. I'm advocating for indoor air quality regulation: maximum CO2, minimum fresh air ACH, deploying upper room UVGI ~everywhere. Universal masking (N95+) in healthcare settings.

Acute and specific things we could do to mitigate H5N1 right now, in particular, are deploying the vaccine we have to all poultry and dairy workers to reduce animal to human crossovers.
> The biggest problem with React is the JS bloat that's sent to the browser.

There's a web app I use (ClickUp) where I have to watch UI elements load one-by-one, like I'm back on dial-up or something. I'm convinced they end up with more CPU load just doing all the TLS handshakes than they would if they just sent me all the HTML in one go.
That's just because it is what you are comfortable with.

Many developers will jump straight for ORMs when given the chance.
I think it depends on the situation. It is not yet clear if 150T to LEO is real (and even if it is, you're likely sharing it with a bunch of other customers who might not want to fly with another rocket motor unless it has gone through quite a bit of vetting and paperwork; Shuttle banned the use of solid rocket motor 3rd stages after the Challenger accident) and it is not yet clear what the cost for a typical customer is going to be. Rocket engines designed to start in a vacuum are more difficult and expensive to develop and test than engines designed to operate closer to STP.
>>> it was clear to people paying attention to the hard numbers by February 2020

We learned a lot of lessons in the 18 months after Feb 2020, including about long COVID and who was impacted. Were any of your conclusions reshaped in the face of later broad, consistent medical evidence?

If you were to consider your process of understanding COVID, was there ever a point where it could be fairly described as working backward from a conclusion?
Totally agree, Next.js has so much Next-specific stuff (which also changes frequently) that I don't use it anymore.
> and pay for it in those cases

Ps: I see this got flagged but just wanted to clarify that I'm in Europe and this is legal where I live (unlike in most US states I believe).

I just think paying for it is a lot more fair than trying to get random girls in bed for a one night stand like a lot of guys do. I don't really court someone unless I have a serious interest in the person, not just their body.

But my point was that porn doesn't displace relationships and not even the need for real sex.
It does not matter. The C99 standard does not define this behavior:

Because you have to have and manage a Kubernetes cluster, that is not something easy. Moreover scaling is not always automatic, you don't tell Kubernetes "scale this application" and it works, if the application is a monolith. You have to write it using a microservices architecture, something much more difficult.

Also, managing a CI pipeline isn't something very easy to start with, there are entire teams in companies that only do that.

In contrast running a simple server is much more simple, you install a Linux OS (probably Ubuntu server, or Debian), install a web stack (for example Apache, PHP, Mysql or Postgres these days), copy the files of your website in the root directory (/var/www), or if you are fancy pull a git repository on the server so you can update it with a simple "git pull", if you need more websites on the same machine configure virtualhosts (or use one of the many software that have a GUI to configure virtualhosts).

The second solution is much more simple, in fact is the most used solution as far as I see. Most websites doesn't need high availability, if the website of the bike repair shop that I have 100 meters down the street goes offline for a couple of minutes or even one day because I'm doing maintenance on the server really nobody notices it.
And not just OpenAI is facing this problem. Anthropic and Google as well.

I want to second all recommendations of SwissMicros. I own DM15L (~$150), DM41X (~$220), and DM42 (~$250), and they are all absolutely excellent specimens. Not a single complaint. They are easily user serviceable, they have a very high build quality and feel like they will last decades (matching modelfkeyboards dot com build quality). The DM42 has a user-enabled N-stack so you can input algebraic expressions of any arbitrary length. The DM15L is an advanced calculator you (or at least I) can grok completely end-to-end, and packs it all into a compact form; I actually prefer to grab the DM15L before the DM42. The DM41X is also an excellent specimen. It includes the ability to {,un}load module files which are dumps of the old HP-41CX module cartridges. I love every single one of them, and cannot shill (for free) SwissMicros enough. You've beheld Swiss watches, now behold a Swiss calculator!

If a state makes a law that requires a site to track, log, and divulge their users for merely consuming content not even producing, that is thr state violating both the site, and the entirity of their own populace, and even indirectly everyone else in the world who would access that site, not the site violating anything or hurting themselves by "opting" to refuse to cooperate.

The state is the entity refusing to cooperate.

I continually fail to get why people pick the douchebag aggressor side of a problem to defend and excuse and rationalize.
I find it refreshing when researchers disclose their own failures. Science is made of negative results, errors, and rejections, though it's often characterized in a much different, unrealistic way.

I have either full time or part time row cropped and livestock farmed for the last 40 years. The last time anyone anywhere even remotely close to me used explosives was to bust a levee.

If you're clearing multiple acres you use a track hoe and a large bulldozer. Source: the 60 acres of grown up crp we finished clearing last month.

I know the Internet wants you to think that rural life is all guns and explosions, but that's sometimes not the case. Why do you think every small town has multiple excavator companies?
> i hate about react.js is that if you have like a big app, the routes definitions will be a nightmare

I'm curious how you define your routes cause I've got several big apps with lot of routes, nested routes and complex access permissions for each route and it never entered in my mind that there was anything complicated about it.
I guess 10 flights per booster is an average over, say, the whole time since the first booster successfully landed. In the list by this link there are ~70 boosters, and I don't think Falcons flew ~700 missions yet, so 10 flights per booster looks on average approximately correct, even though some - even quite a few - boosters flew significantly more that 10 times.
Basically the absence of sources supporting the stories is the problem here.
Which makes sense, and also sounds like applying monetary pressure, say losing access to multiple states in the US, would incentivize prioritizing some engineers into solving this. The reason it doesn't exist yet, is because we've collectively decided through indifference and inaction that an "I swear bro" button is fine in the virtual world, but not the physical, and have now learned that it's not enough.
FOMA is a finite state transducer library that creates composable FSTs. FSTs are generlaizations from one-sided FSAs in that while they accept input they also write and output (they are further elegant because they are not only composable but also reversable: switching input and output tames with "up" and "down" is trivial, so the same formalism can be used to analyze and generate).

FOMA [1] is an open source clone of the Xerox XFST tools [2,3] developed at Xerox Research Laboratory Europe in Grenoble under the late Prof. Lauri Karttunen.

While the FOMA/XFST family of tools are most suitable for linguistic applications and for teaching formal language theory, I have been impressed
by the fact that they are the only formalism that permits elegant naming and re-use of sub-automata.

The issue is a bit deeper than this.

A couple of years ago, somebody tweeted something along the lines of "did you know you can POST an html form without using javascript?". The replies were incredible, because they revealed how many folks could write a full blown React app to post a form, but didn't know how to do it with just <form>.

I agree: it's terrible that kids would go straight to React without trying plain html + js first, but they do this because they often don't know any other way of doing it.
If you solve the formulas for calculating it, the speed of sound only depends on temperature. Mostly because temperature is dependant on pressure itself.

There's some really interesting stuff in here, but I think, given the example, it is burying the lede: organizations systemically underestimate the total cost of ownership of a service. By, like, orders of magnitude.

In this example, it isn't entirely clear if this service ('saas middleware') is deeply integrated with org's core competency or value. But I'll assume it isn't.

They do not understand the service domain well enough and cannot staff or motivate the people to build and maintain it correctly. This is exactly why SaaS exists and is so ubiquitous. You're just not going to be able to build something as good or better for less in the long run.

If they properly understood the cost of building and maintaining this, compared to the (probably) insignificant increase in enterprise value to the org, they would have probably would have just RIF'd these spare engineers and just pay the SaaS provider.

I deal with the internals of many engineering teams across companies of all sizes, and sure as shit, every. single. one. of them has multiple of these internal failed creations. I just don't think people truly understand how much of a liability these systems are orgs.

But yeah, once they made the first mistake, the rest of the blog pretty much hits the nail on the head.
