Yes, who would've thought Passkeys are a bad idea. Now for yet another reason.

Some decisions, once made, exert a noticeable pull on others, so exceptions quickly turn into standard practice.

It looks like Apple is literally copying Samsung, and not only in hardware (upcoming foldable iPhone), but in the services and in advertising them inside the UI. Even the names are similar. This is not a good thing. Not for Apple, and not f

CIs having per-package installs : version ratio > 1 are fundamentally dumb idea in the first place. In a way, this teaches us that there is something as too much reliability in an ecosystem. Specifically, Github is apparently reliable

Same reason fishermen put baits on the hooks, or hunters make weird sounds: it helps attract unsuspecting victims closer, increasing the chance of extracting some value out of them.

GTD is the opposite of being on a swing. It's the constant fear of the parents shouting your name from the balcony to tell you the playtime is over and you need to get back home for a Weekly Review.

Yup. Powerful features are removed to "streamline experience". Sometimes in bulk, because product migrated from e.g. bespoke native app to multiplatform webshit in an embedded browser, which automatically halved the performance an

Elevators are, in a way, a heap of social and psychological problems stuffed into a box that moves up and down a lot. The article briefly acknowledges it, but like ~all such articles I read over the years, it's primarily interested in

That sounds nice and pleasantly confirms our biases, but it's blatantly false. Existence of recruiters and recruitment companies as separate job entities is a proof positive that you do not, in fact, need a working recruitment pipeli

Weird analogy. Nonsensical from both physical standpoint (the only energy input when swinging is the person on the swing "pumping their legs"), and practical one (you usually sit down with the swing already at an angle and then

My point is that "mixing instructions and data" is a red herring, and that reality has no such distinction; what is code and what is data isn't just context-dependent but question-dependent, which you aptly demonstrated by po

Yes, imagine the world in which burglar time was so cheap, that any wannabe master thief would just casually hire 50 burglars and tell them to go house by house and find something interesting.

Obviously. To rephrase it more bluntly: the difference between normal business and a modern startup is that between a cow bred for milking vs. a pig bred for slaughter.

Exactly. But that's still security-obsessed mindset, and I think this is a problem in itself, because it biases people to see this fundamental aspect of general systems as a problem . So imagine that, instead of a credible extortion m
