Awesome! Another accord that can be ignored just like all the others that came before! I love bureaucracy and diplomacy... They make us look so productive while once in a while real change comes along. Forgive my pessimism, but I've se

Ah, so now the developers will service the AWS instances from your end which means they can work less on delivering new features... also left out of the equation quite often :)

> But I choose frameworks because of developer ergonomics. I understand that sentiment, but it's part of the reason why computers today don't feel faster than in the past and why we waste sooooo incredibly much energy.

Can you divide the effects from each other? So if project A does something, what if it influences project B?

Same, I also don't care about your faith, religion, political views...

It's a dogma, the dogma of neocapitalism... Endless growth. Sort of like a malign tumor, which in the end kills the host and itself. It's just propaganda. Nothing grows endlessly, apart maybe from human greed and idiocy. Also some

Super happy we've finally solved the climate catastrophe ;-)

Oh, without a doubt. What I mean though: the US isn't the world, even though many people think it is. And the US date format is among the weirdest I ever encountered. Super happy I never had to support it. It was enough to support over

It's not common in any software I've written or touched in my entire career.

Most of my contacts use signal. For the few that don't I have IRC, email, sms, phone calls... Never used WhatsApp, Telegram etc What I am saying: it depends on your individual bubble and where you come from. ;-)

I wholeheartedly agree with both of your paragraphs, but that is a morale vs law question and I think morale is very subjective (sadly)

So then this is the actual problem, yet Wikileaks was criticized for telling (part of) the truth?

add 2) Well, from an outsider perspective (not a US-citizen): If A commits a crime (or does something forbidden, not sure if it's a crime in the US) and B does the same, B cannot say that "Well, I did it, but so did A!"... we

I wasn't forced at gunpoint, true. I made the deliberate decision to travel and see different cultures. But to be frank, I was more or less forced, because I was traveling with my parents ;-)

No need for a beating if I can just tell them... they can take the password with them. Or they can take the fingers with them.

by OtomotO 4y ago
No, but that way I keep my fingers AND (if lucky) my head. But if my fingers are my password, they could either force me to unlock right now and have the problem that it locks again after some time of inactivity (depending on the impl on th

Thug A: "Let's force them to give us the password!" Thug B: "No need to, just cut of their finger!" Thug A: "But which one?" Thug B: "Let's take all of them!"

Yup, working on that one too. I liked the API of warp a lot, it somehow reminded me of Akka http a bit. But all the points mentioned in the blog post resonate with me, which is why I've begun to migrate to axum.rs as well :)

by OtomotO 4y ago
Ah, yes, thanks for clarification. So I would just sync the keys locally or via some browser-extension and then on each device be responsible to provide the "secret" (e.g. my face or fingerprint) in a readily way to unlock said ke

I feel like voice assistants sound super awesome in theory and a lot of nerds, me included,first think about "Computer, replicate me some Wiener Schnitzel", but reality is really something completely different, even when ignoring

The tinkering hacker in me is full of joy, but: "Prompting for a username and password is so 2005. Today, you can just prompt for a fingerprint." True, you can... but should you? I would never ever give away biometric data unless

Thanks for elaborating! For some reason I find British politics very interesting although never having set foot onto British soil.

Oh boy, I hope you didn't jinx that one. A few years ago I couldn't imagine Brexit becoming a reality or someone invading... well, let's leave it at that.

I use voice assistants for one task: Setting a timer. The oven is in another area of the house, so when I come back to squeeze in some work, I often just said " Voice Assistant , set a timer for 10 minutes!" And that's about

Practical considerations? Hm, if I consider it practically I feel like Europe shouldn't consider the US an ally. (And before someone assumes something wrong: nor should it consider Russia, China or Saudi Arabia an ally.) It's game

I don't really care about the geopolitical aspect of this. I have no stakes in it so to speak. What I care about is the truth and the truth alone. And if it turns out both Trump and Clinton were bad candidates for the US maybe the US s

But if those mails were arbitrary and meaningless why would the media ("mainstream media" without any kind of conspiracy vibe) make such a big deal out of it? Because of the timeframe? Other than that I feel a democracy includes d

I am sorry for my (honest) ignorance, but: What did Assange (or WikiLeaks) leak that was not the (verified?) truth? I understand that some people are upset for it being "one-sided" but it's an absolute honest question: Did th

I imagine a world were this is confirmed truth and wonder: So what? As long as the published work is the truth, even if just "one side" of it, it's better than lies all the way down. Would it be better if we had leaks about e

Exactly. I was just curious because of your comment: > Also in this case you are not really using it as an embedded database anymore, which is our original motivation As by your (and mine) definition, I am indeed using it as an embedded
