Blocking Play might not be that bad if some frameworks/efforts crop up to allow easily targeting devices without it.

It's always boggled my mind what native apps are allowed to know versus the same thing running in a browser on the same device.

So put a disclaimer in... Same way tons of other stuff works...

It's really hard to when there's already technical solutions. They could require a process like bootloader unlocking that puts it in "dev" mode for instance While signing is useful, leaving no escape hatch imo is blatant

I was always under the impression security was a red herring and the real reason was control. Google wants to own the device and rent it to users with revocable terms the same way SaaS subscription software works. Locking down what can run

I don't know. I generally like the UX. The way full screen windows work is a bit unique but I ended up liking it once getting used to it and the related shortcuts. I don't like the lack of window tiling, though. That said, I still

I'm a little confused by the article. Everything mentioned seem to be real problems you'll fairly quickly run into that need real solutions (passing data over the network, handling transient errors). Celery + Redis is already matu

Yes. You had to enable AR scans, follow the prompts that tried to ensure they were quality (although lots of people just scanned the ground), then click a big green upload button. When completed, you were compensated with in-game items. I t

AWS Bedrock offers Claude models in GovCloud so I don't think AWS would be very happy

How can the key be stolen easily? That really depends on the security of the Redis setup. Redis is typically not internet accessible so you'd need some sort of server exploit. Would have been good if the article example showed a Redis

It'd be nice if Python std lib had more thread safe primitives/structures (compared to something like Java where there's tons of thread safe data structures) Imo the GIL was used as an excuse for a long time to avoid building

I thought libraries had to explicitly opt in to no GIL via a macro or constant or something in C

Imo these are nice to haves. The physical system of ID cards already has these problems but works well enough. People can loan their ID to someone else (ask college kids with an older sibling...) When you use your physical ID, the governmen

The parent poster never said it was. They just claimed it's risky for them which I agree with

No need. There are plenty of other active alternatives

I wish all governments would just run identity services and mandate usages that return anonymous attestations. Age being the most obvious attestation but something like residence status could also be useful. Something as simple as a JWT wit

I also notice these cases tend to be missing good test coverage (at least in my experience) I think part of the assumption is "hey there's a flag I can control if something goes wrong so manual validation is ok here" but that

Someone at work wrote a Claude skill to clean them up which seems to work fairly well but a date check would also be helpful

The irony is Ars readers tend to be fairly anti LLM in the comments of every article

You can infer based on code coverage. If coverage is low, tests are likely insufficient and change is risky

by nijave 8mo ago
While very powerful, I think it's worth calling out some pitfuls. A few things we've ran into - long lived feature flags that are never cleaned up (which usually cause zombie or partially dead code) - rollout drift where different

What does the customer informing the vendor have to do with the vendor informing the customer? Your comparison seems backwards

We're on k8s and a lot of our Lambdas are Docker images so it's fairly trivial to throw the same thing on k8s with a pod autoscaler for instances and cluster autoscaler to add nodes.
415.
by nijave 8mo ago
I'm curious how that plays out when you factor in other infrastructure components like DB and load balancers. On Lambda, load balancing is handled out of the box but you may need to introduce things like connection poolers for the DB y

I'm a little afraid to say it but LLMs are getting quite good at query optimization. They can also read slow query logs and use extensions like pg_stat_statements Doesn't necessarily prevent a terrible schema but it's become

Was having latency issues with Discord (1+ seconds) with people in adjacent rooms (which created a bit of an echo effect). Tried out self hosted mumble and it's been working pretty well. The older Fedora package refused to acknowledge

Lesser technical people that don't know that you're the product with these items. They offer a lot of convenience if you want voice control and home automation and they're fairly affordable

I like Tp-Link Tapo for plug and play. They have some battery/wifi models that last quite a long time you mount with a magnet which is great for a temporary setup.

Empire Tech cameras are a bit better bang for your buck. The 4k models are great--be sure to read each model's strengths (low light, backlight, IR, near, far) Frigate no longer recommends the Coral accelerator. I think Hailo is recomme
