So you bring out “this is my second language” after telling someone else “you might want to put more effort into reading”. No, that does not fly. You put “sorry, English is my second language” first. Lashing out like that is not a good look.

I can’t load a stress how bad your proofreading is. Don’t blame that on others.

Quantum encryption will be “broken” the same way as conventional crypto is: side channels. It’s nice to have, but it doesn’t solve the most common attacks.

If money is going to be irrelevant, then he should give his all away right now. Get ahead of that curve.

Today, we remind you that AWS isn’t the only single point of failure on the Internet.

Our long nightmare of commodity hardware and open ecosystems is finally coming to an end!

How did Denmark end up being the bad guy in this? Volunteering for the role seems out of character, but who knows.

It’s been a very seamless experience with Bitwarden. Pretty much “click passkey, now logged in”.

Most of the sites I’ve seen use it as the single auth source. That said, using multiple forms of authentication in a layered model only improves security.

I use Bitwarden and it syncs it all up between devices.

The biggest annoyance is disabling Firefox’s popovers that tend to cover the Bitwarden popovers.

That’s the root of the problem. Nontechnical people don’t use good passwords, but all the ideas we have for replacing them are only usable by more technically minded people.

There are a variety of other reasons why passwords are bad, though.

Jet engines.

Several designers pointed me to Ian Storm Taylor’s article, “Design Tip: Never Use Black.” In it, Taylor argues that pure black is more concept than color. “We see dark things and assume they are black things,” he writes. “When, in reality, it’s very hard to find something that is pure black. Roads aren’t black. Your office chair isn’t black. The sidebar in Sparrow isn’t black. Words on web pages aren’t black.”

Taylor was correct. The problem is applying it badly. You can back off from absolute black and white while still having good contrast. This is especially true for dark mode.

The author later compares things to newspapers, which are traditionally black on white. Except not quite; newsprint paper isn’t bleached white, and I’m guessing the ink isn’t quite as deep black as it first appears, either.

More importantly, there’s an important distinction between newspapers and computer screens. Newspapers only reflect light around them, while screens give off their own light. This means screens can be significantly brighter than the environment around them.

That’s why dark mode works so well. It keeps the bright points on the screen to the parts you need.

I bet it comes with a condescending “you really need to think things through” attached, too. I’ve ran into the type before.

If I’m following what you mean by packaged RAM, Apple does that. It’s fast, but you can’t upgrade it.

The next fad will be Thunderdome. Are you ready to go beyond that?

No, it won’t. The DRAM market is dominated by three companies, and they’ve colluded before. They get their wrist slapped by some government body, they promise not to do it again, and then they wait a few years and do it again.

This is one of the issues with the tech side of their business. They’ve been around a long time, and certain features that other databases had in the 90s were just put into Oracle a few years back. Devs don’t always have a good handle on the new capabilities, especially when the old code without the feature is done and working.

Just had a conversation about this. I’ll copypasta what I said there.

tl;dr: they’re all in on AI (their own model, FastGPT, which is terrible), they make some very questionable business decisions with limited funds, and have a poor understanding of what Personally Identifiable Information (PII) actually is.

I could compromise on some of these things, but if I’m going to pay for their service as a Google alternative, I need to compromise less than I do with Google already.

I mean, I guess. Power output isn’t what I’m really hoping for on new battery tech. What we have is perfectly capable of 0-60 times that only thoroughbred performance street cars can meet (like Ariel Atom territory), and the top speed is plenty.

Once you’re putting down 500hp, tires start to become a limiting factor. The torque that goes behind that number can stress the limit on all but the largest tires with the stickiest compounds.

Safety, range, and weight reduction of new battery tech are great, though.
