Its wild hallucinations and overconfident falsehoods rub me the wrong way. I am cautiously optimistic about AI, but not only does it cheapen the dev experience and suck all my enjoyment out of coding, but it also is far too unreliable at th

I still prefer the bitwise complexity score that KeePass provides. While the guides here are helpful, a similar overall score can help simplify things for people who don’t want to be overwhelmed by the details.

IMHO the best ones from DC were the first two Bale Batman movies and the first Cavill Superman movie. The rest had… issues. The problem was trying to pack in too much and making them too complicated. The “everything and the kitchen sink” pr

My god, that photo looks like it’s been heavily photoshopped. Like someone took the stretch tool and went to town on his jaw and face. I feel sorry for the guy. Must have had an entire choir of personal demons torturing him.

Right. Preferably in the password system, so that other actors could cause the drive to self-destruct for you. Something with an innocent-looking trigger, like the password with one character being a confusable, especially in most fonts. Su

Browsers have been able to do this, but clear note: a single browser displaying many web pages in tabs. Think of how most any modern computer would grind to a halt if every tab was its own full-fat web browser. And THAT is the pro

> There are performant electron apps Somehow I don’t think sucking up 300+Mb of RAM to display 15Kb of text is anywhere within the realm of “performant”, especially when a native app can do the same in 1/30,000 as much RAM. And with

This was a nice one-shot. Concise, clear, and not cluttered. It should also be posted to Reddit’s HFY subreddit.

Plus, there is the issue of a surveillance state. The crux is that only exceedingly large orgs - such as governments - can provide reliable and definitive identity services. But when one of the largest democracies on the planet descends i

Will there be releases, considering the likelihood of false positives from antivirus? I can see that alone putting off most nontechnical people. Something that just has to be shoved into position, even if it has no installer, would signific

The solution to your noise and electricity costs are the ARM-based Macs. Not only are they whisper-quiet, they also sip the electricity. I just had an unplanned power outage two days ago, and my Dell Precision 7920 (44c/88t, 256Gb RAM)

I see only a Google login. On principle, I never let any third-party service know what other services I am using. Without a traditional login this is as user-hostile as a complete stranger’s wireless webcam mounted in your bedroom or bathro

Thank you for confirming my second sentence for me. Especially the first sentence of your response - “write down your password”. Wow. This is the worst possible take I can imagine. Like, this isn’t the 1980s anymore, password managers exist
