Yet, this doesn't answer my question. Human brain is obviously has so much more in it (visual cortex for starters, grid cells etc), and, in terms of neural network, much more sophisticated architecture. But still, there is a big probab

Exams and sports competitions are a particularly nasty example of Campbell's Law (or Goodheart's Law) – collapsing the correlation between metric and the true goal. Exams, for example, are supposed to measure how much students pro

Why people concentrating on creating more hacks on top of fundamentally ill-suited stack for app development, rather then rethink the whole stack from the first principles? Luckily, after 3 decades, there is some sobering realization that t

Yes, Passkeys do not offer much against rubber-hose cryptanalysis. Actually, it's a bit worse than passwords as it doesn't require captured human to be concious. I believe Passkeys are great for those whose threat profile doesn&#x

TOTP is not 2FA, but can be used for 2FA. What is the "secret stored on device" when SMS is used for 2FA? Passkeys are stored in Secure Enclave on Apple devices, or on YubiKeys. Not sure about Androids.

I'm writing Go and Dart daily for many years (Go - 9 years, Dart - 4 years). Looking at the Go code (especially old one) I can immediately understand how and where error path is handled. In Dart code it's almost never the case – y

No, a bit upper layer. You need to handle error codes, request and response parameters, naming for the API etc. Imagine having API with 100+ endpoints. How do you add another one in gRPC? You edit .proto file and run codegenerator, which cr

Good point. I refered to the code, not to the protocls. With REST/JSON mostly you write code twice – server implementation and client implementation. If you add new platform (say, iOS), you write new code again. So for each new platfor

For me it's not about building perfect system. It's this gut feeling that you're using wrong tools. Like you're trying to build a house, but all you have is a set of old car tires and a bunch of duct tape. It just feels

gRPC is so much cleaner and easier to work with for the APIs. - Error codes are well defined (vs "should I return 200 OK and error message as a JSON or return 40x HTTP code?") - no semantics ambiguity ("should I use POST for

Thanks for the Joanna Stern story, didn't know that. But if an attacker has your iPhone with passcode they surely get access to your Google Authenticator or Auth app. How "not storing TOTP keys in iCloud" way is better in thi

Regular reminder for Apple users that iOS/MacOS has support for TOTP codes out of the box. It fills the code like an autocomplete. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/ipha6173c19f/io...

Those progress bars with time of other linters - is it a joke or it's a data from stupidly enourmous codebase? Or slow (>1s) linters is something that is normal in python?

Regular reminder that "web apps" are just apps written for the very opinionated and limited stack. In this stack instead of proper UI framework developers left with typesetting engine (HTML), weird set of global styling variables
