Maybe someone can explain it better to me. It seems that the primary goal for passkeys is to eliminate password fishing. You still need a password for the site. Even with passkeys, you can still login with a password, either from a differen

I wrote a simple 6502 simulator. Just made it a byte code interpreter. No cycle accurate anything. Simple I/O. Since I/O on the 6502 is all memory accesses, adding console is as simple as echoing whenever a character is stored in

Our CS 101 class had such a system. Simple computer/assembler written in BASIC on the PDP. One of the assignments was to do a simple multiply (i.e. add in a loop). Rather than do that, my friend simply altered the program and created a

I think I’m real, but back in the day I got conflicting views with statements like “You’re just unreal, man!” So, I guess I can say I’m real, but not confident given the data.

I got 10 years out of my most recent Orvis jacket. That said, I had in to the tailor a couple of times to clean up some tears in the fabric lining. I wear that thing every day, 9-10 months out of the year. That one replaced an earlier Orvis

You also have to store the plaintext password Somewhere. Same problem with DIGEST.

Meanwhile, Berke Breathed is still available, still producing, still an amazing artist. Even with a million Opus dolls, I don’t think any of it has chained him down or held him back.

“Writing Fortran in Lisp” should not be disregarded. There’s a lot of value of having hands on exposure and success with common, even if not idiomatic, concepts. Ye Olde “write once, throw it away” concept. Using prior language knowledge ca

Pretty sure most wear comes from the back tires (I should say the "power tires" to consider FWD vehicles). Many electric vehicles accelerate quite quickly, which just wears their tires even more. Braking is braking. If you're

If you have not been to a Top Fuel drag race, and have the opportunity to go, you should go. They are quite the spectacle. Being there, hearing, feeling, and seeing those 10,000HP monsters fly down the track is worthy of experiencing live,

It interesting that this vulnerability has not had the flag raised in the wider Lisp community, since it also applies there. Most of the packages and modules that the Lisp systems have are shipped as source code, and compiled on site. That

Well, that was a conscious choice of the JDK devs when they went down the path of removing things. Raw Java is Pretty Close to being "out of the box" OK for "REST, enterprisey" stuff. The built in HTTP server is usable a

I did the same thing back in they day. I developed on SCO (and, later, Unixware) on a PC, all of the clients were running the gamut of Unix OSes: HPUX, DGUX, AIX, SunOS, you name it. Most of the time was spent on our box in the office, but

Even in a year, I don't think random AI will be "cheap" enough for spamming CAPTCHA on random websites. Maybe for select, ripe targets (your bank, etc.). But for a random business with a form? Nah.

What’s funny is that the way the tone of this thread is going is that there is no real story and the Python and Disney renderings are as legitimate as all of the others.

I trend more towards print debugging than breakpoints. To me the beauty of print debugging is you can see the flow, and see it quickly in contrast to the debugger. Simply with the debugger, a lot of the time is spent stepping past (at the m

What’s curious is how one of the reasons Pascal was derided was due to the limitations of the original system followed by the incompatibilities of the implementations that reached the market. Meanwhile, BASIC, which I think it could be argu

That's the whole point. IoM is an equal opportunity killer. The "novices" are those new to the course, not new to racing. They're skilled racers, proven, successful. But stuff happens, and the course can be unforgiving.
