> passkeys require using a manager as well, so there isn't much point. No they don't. I use hardware passkeys for all my important accounts. It's extremely easy.

Yes. I use hardware based passkeys and absolutely love them. I think it was a giant mistake having them 'software' based. It some ways it kind of defeats the entire purpose...

I use passkeys, hardware ones, and I am very happy with it. I don't understand why people dislike passkeys, they are the most secure system we could possibly do and I am also very happy that the major companies are accepting them. It s

Because it's about the journey and not just the artefact. If you're not thinking of something that's useful and preparing snippets to share every day you are not practising it. Having to come up with something stretches your

The EU is big enough to house multiple regions for multiple cloud providers, all in the same jurisdiction (so they can actually be used within data sovereignty requirements). Not true for most of the other places in Asia/UK/South

No - and usually the reason is so they cannot be targeted.

by flumpcakes 9d ago
Regions are really the scale of disaster isolation only in extreme cases - such as global catastrophe (meteor strike taking out a city) or in this case, when actively targeted in war. I don't really see the same thing happening to a US

Death-frightening scion capable of seeing beyond the illusionary world before our eyes John Carmack?

You have a very nuanced take that I broadly agree with. I would add that they were probably targeted for political reasons, it's not like the current administration is going out of their way to tackle right wing "terrorism".

Is it truly anyone, or only anyone that politically aligns with them?

I don't understand your comment - the social norms I refer to are paying tax, sending your children to school, integrating with the local community, living in areas/accommodation that is legal/not transitory. It can be argued

I think DHH's comments are pretty mild given the subject. However, I think it is how he frames his comments that cause offensive - lumping a (potentially) problematic (arguably) ethnic group of people in with animal control...

by flumpcakes 2mo ago
I think DHH's opinion is a very common sentiment in Europe. "Gypsies" are a very European thing. I wonder if there's anything similar in the US? For context for US readers; they generally exist outside of the usual socia

I thought it was very obvious throughout the video what was happening... Rust has compile time checks to enforce some safety. In comparison Fil-C is a lot more memory safe, it's more comparable to being a software implementation of CHE

I think you are concentrating on 'free' too much here. It's not about giving away resources, it's about serving the user. 1. No, a kiosk shouldn't be hooked up to some crime database, it should function exactly as e

I think it was trying to find a moral standard that wasn't being set by established places. I think it was showing a level of self-reflection (going through a process of finding your set of principals after leaving an established faith

There are no 'unsafe' blocks in Fil-C. I think you trying to conflate 'unsafe blocks' with the fact that there might be compiler errors which might break 'safety'? Which is equally true in any system including

I think you should watch the linked presentation, it will show how it is "safer" than rust. Unfortunately there are performance implications, but fil-c seems fast enough to go into production for many workloads and surprisingly ne

I can't believe these comments - passkeys are pretty easy to understand and most platforms allow you to add multiple. Not enough for truly one-passkey-per-device, but if you use a password manager that syncs passkeys, or hardware passk

US politics is cooked. I wonder if polymarket will start taking bets on mid-terms being canceled.

That video is embarrassing. Theo clearly doesn't know what he is talking about at points, and is having a massive crash out for really no reason.

I agree with your sentiment completely. I think there's nuance that a lot of people don't bother with because of tribalism but your take is the one I most align with in this instance. Children do need protecting, I grew up with th

It doesn't need to expose something as new to point out a causal link? Someone saying that work-life balance means all work and no life, and then producing substandard quality at said work seems worth pointing out. A trillion dollar co

Any evidence what so ever for the "mass control" claim? I do not want E2E comms broken, but these posts on hackernews always bring out such outlandish claims. You can't be applying the "mass control" claim for the a

It already exists. Most CSAM tools are checking against a hash database. Why would you NOT want this to exist? This seems the only method to not raise false positives.

This is extending an existing law that expired. Really you should have felt betrayed back in 2011. This isn't Chat Control 2.0 - which is the thing that has been getting attention for the last few years. E2E encryption should not be br

I assume those 400-page EULAs blast away any 'strict restrictions'.
