This has always been true. Pre 1970 is not defined in Unix time.

The need for anonymity is in the face of enormously concentrated organised mass surveillance and power. So, yes, it's relatively new. But it's not the only thing that's new.

In this metaphor, these are the "forgotten password" or "recovery key" flows.

Only if you tie your identity to a single cloud provider?

Your argument is that password managers are fine if you use them correctly. That's a big "if".

Password managers don't stop you pasting that password into any random textfield on any website.

That's not an inherent feature of passkeys.

by growse 2y ago
Passkeys are webauthn credentials.

Buy a yubikey. Use a password manager that supports passkeys. Enroll multiple credentials with your cloud account.

by growse 2y ago
The only reason you care about copying your password is because it's usually (always?) the only credentials you have for a service. This isn't true of webauthn/passkeys. The number of use cases where you need to "make

Ah yes, the good old "only an issue for people who are holding it wrong" argument. The thing about good design is that it makes it impossible to "hold it wrong".

Using the "passkey on other device" flow, which usually involves QR codes.

The social contract arises from social relations. Ie: the dynamic between maintainer and contributors. It doesn't exist just because stuck something on GitHub with an MIT license. This is why there's no conflict between the people

This works brilliantly, right up to the point where your A side fails, and every single server suddenly doubles their demand on B. Better have good capacity management so you don't go over 100% on B when that happens! (I've seen i

You seem to be answering a different question.

This is wishful thinking at best. The route is not expensive because of speed. The route is expensive because the powerful NIMBYs wanted a huge amount of it tunnelled. No amount of mild wigglyness leeway gets around that fact. For all the h

What's a better answer to freeing up WCML capacity?

Loading gauge, not track gauge.

by growse 2y ago
Performing major works on an existing line to upgrade its speed (which, given alignments might not even be possible) is probably the worst-case scenario in terms of cost and disruption. For the WCML specifically, _we already did that_ in th

It's almost like the target speed of the line isn't the problem.

by growse 2y ago
Not sure if this is sarcasm. Assuming not.... No. The premium cost on the project related to its running speed is not significant. Planning and engineering a brand new 125mph railway doesn't cost much less than planning and engineering

Everything is a poison. It's simply a question of dosage.
