Are you somehow operating under the impression that volunteers are being held against their will and forced to give and/or receive free kisses to anyone who demands it? Are you okay?

Which makes it even more infuriating to me when people use the MOOP map as evidence that burners leave trash everywhere and destroy the desert every year. It’s certainly worse than not having the event in the first place, but it is quite li

What if I told you I was not one of the people saying that? You can’t take two different people with two different opinions and say “Look! You’ve moved the goalposts!” If passkeys are significantly better, passwords will gradually stop exis

by stouset 6mo ago
We have now gone from having to “redo everything” to being asked to switch to a passkey by a grand total of one website. I’ll be honest I’ve heard a lot of griping about passkeys but I have gone out of my way to switch over to them and have

Your password manager almost certainly already has baked-in passkey support.

I really appreciate that perspective. There’s definitely an aspect of FIRE people being more inclined to sacrifice short-term meaning in order to retire earlier, that may contribute to not having spent time actually building the life they w

I used to follow FIRE-related communities. There were a depressing number of people who would post something along the lines of “I just pulled the trigger! Now what am I supposed to do to fill the time?” Your take is spot on, and it’s incre

I think we’re largely in agreement. I do think there’s some benefit in reducing the amount of time that a password is in cleartext in memory. But it’s pretty far down the list.

If I leave a post-it note of passwords on my monitor inside a vault to which only I have access, it’s not a big deal. That’s the point of the “airtight hatch” metaphor.

Yes, I was an adult during all of this. BlackBerrys were popular amongst business users, but there were 85 million of those devices in circulation across the globe at their absolute peak. There are currently 8 billion smartphones worldwid

None of these were more than a blip in the market. Nothing today even remotely resembles these devices, inherits design language from them, or points back in any way to them. They are historical dead ends and nearly irrelevant. Meanwhile th

There’s no formality. For planes with ADS-B out, it’s on when the plane is on (barring it being explicitly disabled by yanking the fuse). Plus transponders are really convenient when you’re trying not to crash into other air traffic. Partic

I’ll give you a hint: you may very well have replied on this category of device.

jj reduces mental overhead by mapping far more cleanly and intuitively to the way people tend to work. This is a little weird at first when you’ve been used to a decade and a half of contorting your mental model to fit git. But it genuinely

I really recommend just ripping off the band-aid and using jj "as intended". It took me only a day or two to adapt, and a week to feel like I am now a jj native. It's really a tiny cost to pay, and way less than the overhead

I don't get git. Every time it's posted people gush about how git enables some super complicated workflow that I can't wrap my head around. I have a simple edit/undo workflow in my editor that has served me well for deca

Mind explaining to the class how you know how to make the same bet as the insiders without actually having insider information?

If this were the case, deeper and more informed pockets than yours would take the opposing position until there’s no more alpha to be had.

Not just insider information, but insider access . If the outcome of some prop bet is under the control of a handful of people, those people can trivially conspire to produce whatever outcome is most profitable to them.

> Does JJ really prefer for me to think backwards? No, you run `jj new` when you’re done with your work just like you’d run `git commit`. You can even just run `jj commit` which is a shorthand for `jj describe && jj new`.

Jujutsu uses git as its primary backing store and synthesizes anything else it needs on top on-the-fly. Any incompatibility here is considered a serious bug. Obviously I can’t argue against your lived experience, but it is neither typical n

No? What problems, exactly, are you suggesting exist? I have used jj extensively on git teams and it has been seamless. The only people who have noticed or cared are the coworkers I’ve gotten to join me.
