I think "anywhere" here has to mean "any random device you come across", not merely "any strange location", as the premise is being able to log in with just a password rather than a key... I often use my phone

The result of these kinds of laws is that 3D printers are going to no longer be open devices with open source control software capable of printing anything, and will instead use this as a reason to become locked down ecosystems, where norma

My experience asking this question is that effectively no one understands how cross-compilation works (as is also seen here from the response involving nested virtualization)... which is really disappointing given that it causes even more c

I am very confused as to what this is trying to claim... it says it is "IMAP-based, not API-based", and yet it is clearly running its own sync solution, including to web browsers.

My concern is that the existence of such technology doesn't mean that it will be required -- and as more private technology often has a cost or a downside, it kind of has to be required for uptake -- and even further doesn't at al

I mean, the nuance seemed captured by the "in short" here, as you are just providing examples of things that taste nicer ;P.

This is much more similar to the technique of obfuscating encryption algorithms for DRM schemes that I believe is often called "white-box cryptography".

I think there is a big difference between an abstraction layer that can improve -- one where you maybe write "code" in prompts and then have a compiler build through real code, allowing that compiler to get better over time -- and

Sure. I mean, I often hate the unique attributes people come up with, and I wouldn't use their product because of it. I certainly also hate yours ;P. But... would I use something that has no unique attributes? Probably also not! And, h

I do not understand how these two ideas are somehow different (and I even say that as someone who thinks caring about star counts is harmful to both sides): if there were a way to track/surveil how many users had bookmarked your websit

I have often used phones without bothering to comprehensively fill out an address book, and should everyone be required to own random network devices or even to take a lot of photos? The only data I can think of which maybe you could "

A couple other comments touch on the point I want to make, but I feel they don't nail it hard enough: if today you told me you had a website that was 100% technologically identical to Amazon, but you were willing to make slightly less

I am pretty sure that if we had those people in charge of stuff like this there would be no bar above which "opt in by default" would happen, so I am unsure of your point?

I do. I am not saying they are not useful... I am saying they are not safe . In a world where you care about the safety guarantees of Rust, you'd take an API that insists on manual index management and you would build an abstraction o

This is also why I avoid them like the plague. I would be a lot less annoyed by the concept of linker scripts if the mechanism were more set up as a concatenative language where you could provide a pile of modifications to behavior that add

In any language, arrays are inherently regions of memory and indexes are -- whether they start at 0 or 1 -- offsets into that region. When you implement more complicated algorithms in any language, whether or not it has pointers or how arra

FWIW, to me it is "unsurprising" as I can't remember the last time a major psych study actually did replicate, and it seems frankly like the entire field is in shambles. Does that mean that I knew before that this study in

The article explicitly says as much. > So what’s clear here is that the spirals themselves have nothing to do with prime numbers; a much cleaner and fuller pattern can be seen when we plot all positive integers (as well as zero).

You totally ignored "on these issues" and are essentially saying there is no need to work on that as they worked on something else, which is extremely strange for a thing which feels like a really trivial win, and should be shocki

In all seriousness: why has it been years now and it feels like there is no incremental engineering-level progress on these issues? Like, it seems like doing some manual intervention to the tokenization to at least remove exceptional tokens
