atomic updates in particular is one of those things that sounds good to the C-suite, but falls apart extremely badly in the lower levels. months-long delays on important updates due to some large project doing extremely bad things and pushi

yeah, that's exactly what I was referring to as "use full duplex" (use at least 2 frequencies, I agree this sounds like pretty solid critique (particularly with meshcore's network setup) and wouldn't make hardware d

thank you for providing evidence that some do not.

having read that meshtastic section: I mostly agree with their requests tbh. the only suggestions in there seem to be "use full duplex" (with approximately one reason why, though it's a good one) and "solve frequency di

I've been enjoying running Mint on my terrible spec chromebook - it only has 3GB of RAM, but it rarely exceeds 2GB used with random additions and heavy firefox use. The battery life is obscenely good too, I easily break 20 hours on it

Very much yes. When "affordance" was one of the primary goals, rather than "breathing room". Information density took a nose-dive and we lost all visual separation and gained... what? Less battery life?

iOS UX-affordance has done an incredible reversal from "one of the best" to "unambiguously the worst" over the years :| it's stunningly unapproachable nowadays, and Android seems excited to follow them

If you want to see daily bugs on top of it: disable animations in accessibility. Constant, 10x-daily-or-more issues in system UI (apps are surprisingly much better normally). E.g. it has partly or completely broken the recent app switching

I wish I had time to finish this right now, but it's definitely going on my "I will actually watch" list for tomorrow, I love what I've seen already. And there's something oddly... poetic? ironic? idk but that ma

Literally the only pre-commit hook I've ever "liked" has been one to look for files over ~1/2MB, and error with a message describing how to bypass the check (env var). It stops the mistake at the easiest-to-identify p

I can add anecdata for the factory profile being very over-red - it's quite obvious out of the box. Not as bad as many Samsung OLED phones you see in stores (typically set to some crazy "enhanced" mode), but it's certai

I'm quite happy with mine, and like the keyboard in general though I can see why a coming from a decent Thinkpad would feel like a downgrade. I like it a lot better than the "butterfly" keyboards Apple insisted on, however,

re NPUs: they've been a marketing thing for years now, but I really have no idea how many of them are actually used when you run [whatever]. particularly after a year or two of software updates. anyone have numbers? are they just a

Python has formalized magic comments. You can run a third party linter on those comments, but you must hope that they're correct. There are usually some checks for that, but they're only reliable in trivial cases. This is not sta

From just this page it's rather unclear what triggers this... if an fdroid app that does not use any Play libraries has a purchaseable thing on another site, is that in scope? Do they need to add Play libraries to track it, or be smac

I'd call some null-pointer-lint-with-automatic-fixes tools "vibe coding" tbh. I've run across a couple that do a pretty good job of detecting possible nulls and add annotations about it and that's great... but then

I mean. Is there any evidence SFC explicitly approved of those names? I haven't been able to find any. They've been in place for decades without apparent contest. But it's a trademark, and trademark law in the USA is prett

"I can erase a securely hashed password and set a new one" is very common and generally seen as safe, and does not at all require being able to "know what [the current password is]". Most can do this. As a concrete exam

You say "requiring by default". That makes no sense in this context (or most) - you can either require something (which is not "by default") or you do not (at which point you can encourage something as strongly as you l

There are a few alternate options like email or sms (I've used them several times, you have no option if you erase your only actively-used phone occasionally), but yeah. Google effectively forces 2FA whether you like it or not.

tbh I think it's safe to claim they're strictly inferior to passwords, though in almost all cases they're literally identical (as you point out). e.g. that phone call case: some places will tell you a temporary password (ov

Many/all? also need to have some form of manual input as a backup, so you're not forced to sync all your passwords to e.g. a library's computer just to log in, if your house burns down or something. Which probably looks a lot
