The context was to unlock your passkeys stored on your local device.

Depends on the service. But that's often a long and random backup key that you're advised to store somewhere safe — can be printed on paper — and is used as last resort if you lose all your devices.

Your biometric data are only used locally to unlock the secure enclave on your devices. Your biometric data never leave your device and are never shared with "some corporation".

Two factors are needed: something you have (your device) + something you are (your biometric). If you're concerned about losing your phone (I am), then you can backup your passkeys to the cloud and/or sync them with other devices

You usually need to pay a third-party for this only if you want/need to backup your passkeys in the cloud and/or sync them between multiple devices (with end-to-end encryption of course, in order for the third-party to not be able

> Do sites generally allow you to have passkeys and passwords set at the same time for the same account? In my experience, yes. > Do you still use TOTP when using passkeys? No.

Putting the HTTP method and path directly in the function's name using Zig @-syntax is something I've never seen before. Clever.

Too many organizations are making OKRs much more complex than they need to be. The fundamental idea of OKRs is actually useful: define a few high-level goals the organization wants to achieve, and for each goal define a few key outcomes tha

Great example of Zig code, and of seamless interaction with C!

Companies need a mission statement telling why the company needs to exist. Unfortunately, as highlighted by the author, too often these mission statements are bullshit, which is making them pretty useless, even counterproductive.

There is an obligation to give a clear rationale for terminating the contract in many countries. I'm not sure where she's based though. But Cloudflare is UK based, if I remember correctly, so they should be used to that. And altho

But then they should be able to tell her that's the reason why she is fired, which they don't. I don't which Cloudflare products she was selling, but some likely have a sales cycle that amounts to a few months, perhaps even m

I used to have a very positive opinion of Cloudflare, especially when it comes to their engineering, but watching Cloudflare handling this layoff doesn't reflect well on the company's culture. John Graham-Cumming, if you read this

Sounds like a very bad manager.

It was a very interesting read, in the context of Python getting a copy-and-patch JIT compiler in the upcoming 3.13 release [1], to understand better the approach. [1] https://tonybaloney.github.io/posts/python-gets-a-j

How different were they (your managers) before and after being laid off?

What would you use instead of Python?

by ngrilly 3y ago
I so much agree with your comment on memory allocation. Everybody is focusing on JIT, but allocating everything on the heap, with no possibility to pack multiple values contiguously in a struct or array, will still be a problem for performa

Because if you send and/or receive a lot messages with large attachments (pictures and videos), then it will eat up a lot of storage on our your storage (can be gigabytes), and if you use a smartphone with only 64 GB of storage, it can

I just read the white paper, and I haven't seen anything about search, which would require some kind of homomorphic encryption, but I think that's pretty much an unsolved problem: for example, to be able to search message content

Because everything is stored locally.

WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted, but all messages have to be stored locally, which is a problem on cheap smartphones. Telegram can work on a cheap smartphone by storing most messages server-side, but it's not end-to-end encrypted by d

I thought devices like Remarkable were doing automatic OCR to enable search across notes? Assuming search works, then I’d say a big advantage of pen and paper is being less constrained in the layout of your notes, and for example do diagram

Anyone here did see an improvement in memory retrieval after switching from taking notes by typing on their computer to taking notes on something like Remarkable?
