I really like "in tension". It implies, to me, an inverse relationship but an elastic one. Not a simple 1:1.

Random follow-up thought: If the password manager is cloud backed, you're at risk of a LastPass-style data breach. If it's local only, you're at risk of someone confiscating your device also removing your access to all your o

Look, I didn't mean someone should actually burn down the building with the occupants still inside. It was satire!

I think that's a really good counterexample that proves that my model isn't universally true.

Ok. Well I gave a couple of examples of what I'm getting at. So how can a convenient way to establish a digital identity also be secure? To run with the see-saw analogy, what element would of that process would make the process both mo

The very early results for "watercolour of X" were quite nice. Amateurish, loose, sloppy. Interesting. Today's are... well, every single one looks like it came off a chocolate box. There's definitely been a trend towards

For what most of us are using it for (generating code), that's not a bad outcome. This audience might have less of a problem with it than the general population. Whether we have the discipline to limit our use of the tool to its streng

I always appreciate an extra pair of eyeballs, even on a one-liner. Everyone's an idiot sometimes.

I think specialising in brownfield has always been a thing. If anything, it's greenfield that's the rarity.

If the tech is there, in the long run the only question is: Do you want government to have it, or everyone to have it? Privacy may have been a temporary phenomenon - a side-effect of the anonymity of cities/large crowds. You didn'

I didn't vote for 649 of my MPs either. These aren't good arguments.

No disrespect intended, but "it's still technically possible" doesn't matter. We, as enigneers, tend to think in absolutes (after all, something either works or it doesn't). Politicians are perfectly happy with a la

Internet ruined me for anything long-form. I'm old enough to remember the Before Times, but a lot of people aren't.

Not interested in joining a pile-on, but I just wanted to point out how difficult reproducible builds are. I think there's still a bit of unpredictability in there, unless we go to extraordinary lengths (see also: software proofs).

I do feel that IOT would benefit from being longer - it often feels rushed. Podcasts excel at "deep dives" in a way that radio is barred from doing: a podcaster can say "I think I'm gonna do 30 hours on George Jones this

There was a long history of the PM listening to it, and it set the agenda for the day. At some point after Thatcher that stopped happening (Blair, maybe? Definitely by Cameron), and it became a lot less important to politicos to appear on i

That's one of those industries you probably want to keep a domestic presence in, for strategic reasons. Chip fab might be another. But I'd do it via subsidy, not tariff, otherwise you're adding friction to everything downstre
