TL;DR Is US continues to change policy without any clear guidance nor facilitation. Impractical to comply. https://apnews.com/article/us-tariffs-goods-services-suspens...
I'm a personal and professional advocate from r passkeys, yet I must acknowledge that your criticisms and skepticism are valid. I don't see this as a flaw in the passkeys concept so much as a growing pain. It's a very…
This rebuttalakes no sense to me. What you cite is about about transport encryption. App -> Server. The end of the process is that the receiver (Telegram servers) receives a decrypted (plaintext) message, just as…
The simplified terminology is not for you or I as technologists. It is for the general consumer market. Yes, public/private key cryptography has been a thing for decades, but it has been out of reach for the consumer…
You are completely correct and I really wish you weren't.
MS ToDo was hewn from the corpse of Wunderlist. It's the same "ding".
> Yeah it's a neat idea but I struggle to think of good use-cases [...] If I'm working on a service [...] I suspect that's simply not the use-case they're targeting. You're thinking of a database as simply the…
That's an alarming equation. The harder you lie, the less likely you'll be called out on it. What else in life works that way?
Yes, thank you. A mindset which thinks that documentation is wasted due to a need to constantly update, is cousin to the mindset which thinks that software, once written, is a purchased asset which needs no further…
They most certainly do not "handle it just fine". They are highly scammable, they know it, and it's "solved" my moving as much of the burden and repercussions onto the consumer as possible. I've had my identity stolen,…
My team of consultants will write Android apps, and the customer takes ownership of the code base when we're done. My wife would leave me if she knew how much I love Kotlin, but I could never use it for work projects…
I haven't done Windows development for a long time, but I think that this may be an overstatement, at least on that platform. You need to have cursor focus to receive key events, right? The clipboard, by contrast, can…
I do not see this as an actual rebuttal to the idea of it being a backdoor. The article makes two points: 1. Ultimately, verification falls to the user, so even in a secure system, user error, misunderstanding, and/or…
Sometimes PDFs store actual character data (like vector graphics), and sometimes they store static images. Last I checked (admittedly a few years ago), Word conversion only works on the former. It didn't do OCR or…
Following that statement, the author spends the rest of the article explaining how the people asserting supremacy often do not see it as such. It is an implicit and unwitting reality of the position they are taking. I…
The striking difference here, at least to me, is the a matter of scale and delay. Aphids and fungus are smaller than the ants, and have shorter lifecycles than the ants themselves. Planting and cultivation of a coffee…
By what reasoning? On the surface I would assume that to be false. Please elaborate?
Sorta. The basis for your concern underlines one of the problems. When such gaffs happen in engineering, the firm is blamed. Within the firm, individual actors are blamed. In software, on the other hand, your major…
Well, yeah, that's one of her few points in this tiny article.
Steam.
Sounds like a joke, yet it's spot-on.
This is true. I must admit that my more recent, positive experiences are only possible due to my accumulated understanding of my dependency chain and toolkit. I work on multiple things, but my largest,…
Yes! Sometimes I will have a have a big problem that I will decide not to fix immediately, even if it's more "important" than other things I'm working on. Then, when I come back and rapidly write a simple solution, the…
> In a sense, programming is all about what your program should do in the first place. The “how” question is just the “what”, moved down the chain of abstractions until it ends up where a computer can understand it, and…
That's just it: apps that are just wrappers for a website are never worth the time, yet they are so very common just to say "we have an app!" Actual apps are great, though.
