I try to, when I have the time, but I don’t sweat it if I don’t, I just try to avoid forming too many opinions about the topic.

Also, a good chunk of the time I try, I get paywalled. Which I can usually bypass if I’m on PC, but that’s not really feasible on mobile.

Props to all the heroes copying the article into the post, or pointing out when the headline is misleading.

As if the new notepad wasn’t already enough of a downgrade.

It actually took me multiple trues to get into Stardew. The whole “track down everyone” quest is intimidating for a lot of people.

Up to you if you think it’s worth keeping at it, for the possibility of getting hooked later.

I mean, the book of Revelations is indeed a prophecy.

I’m 34 and don’t have $10,000 in savings.

Congrats on the milestone, friend.

The biggest hole in WASM right now is being able to DO anything really useful in it, natively. The only thing you can do natively right now is use the CPU. Can’t manipulate the DOM. Can’t access local storage or cookies or networking APIs, etc. You can call out to arbitrary JS code, but that’s it.

This is great for some of the big JS libraries that have very CPU-heavy workloads they can optimize in WASM and call to from JS. Like frequently parsing and re-parsing HTML. Or doing game physics calculations.

I haven’t heard word one about WHEN any of this will be available. Which is particularly troubling, given how long people have been begging for it.

Of course, none of this stops you from using WASM in the real world, to do quite a lot of things. You’re just gonna have to deal with JS interop, still, do do anything really useful.

A quality apology consists of 3 things:

• An explanation of what you did that was wrong, and why it was wrong
• An explanation of what you’re going to try and change about yourself, to avoid the same mistake
• An expression of remose. I.E. the word “sorry” or “apologize”.

Your proposed apology has all those elements, so you’re already ahead of most folks. But there are a few suggestions for improvement in this thread that I think are also good.

“if you felt so, I apologize”: I don’t read this as you apologizing for how the other person feels, since you clarified that earlier. But I think it’s fair that others might read it that way, so you’re better off eliminating the ambiguity. You’re apologizing for what you did, without considering that others might (validly) consider it inappropriate.

“I’ll try to control myself around you”: similar deal, it should be clear that this is about you, not them. And when it comes to swearing in a workplace, it’s pretty-darn common to consider it inappropriate and unprofessional, no matter who you’re around. Maybe part of your apology needs to focus on how the behavior is unprofessional, and you simply needed help recognizing that, as you’re (possibly?) new to the professional working world.

Did they, though? Do we know how Nevaeh Crain and Candace Fails voted? Would that somehow make it okay?

The fact thay people who have done nothing to support these policies can still be killed by them is PRECISELY the problem.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, when I first heard this story. He’s not saying he hopes Mehdi dies, he made an extremely cavalier joke about him dying. Just as bad, but, y’know, not as good of a sound bite.

So, the scheme is basically to have you, the publisher, invest some money into marketing the game, to get potential players aware of it, then have them pay a one-time premium to actually play it, if they’re interested.

I decided to split the difference, by leaving in the gates, but fusing off the functionality. That way, if I was right about Itanium and what AMD would do, Intel could very quickly get back in the game with x86. As far as I’m concerned, that’s exactly what did happen.

I’m sure he got a massive bonus for this decision, when all the suits realized he was right and he’d saved their asses. /s

A country putting tariffs on imports doesn’t necessarily mean it’s being anti-competitive, or anything nefarious.

In this example, the argument generally goes that China’s EV market is so cheap, compared to the US’s, because the Chinese government subsidizes it, I.E. gives EV makers free money so they can lower costs or expand infrastructure, which in turn leads to lower prices. Thus, a US tarrif is just attempting to re-level the playing field. How much truth there is to this, I don’t really know.

And this, in TURN, doesn’t necessarily mean that China is being anti-competitive either. There’s nothing wrong with them saying “Having a robust EV infrastructure is good for our country, and we think it’s going to be very important for our future, so we’re going to invest heavily into that.”

Welcome!

a good way to get yourself labeled by someone who thinks in memes.

What an effective way to put it.

As I understand it (and assuming you know what asymmetric keys are)…

It’s about using public/private key pairs and swapping them in wherever you would use a password. Except, passwords are things users can actually remember in their head, and are short enough to be typed in to a UI. Asymmetric keys are neither of these things, so trying to actually implement passkeys means solving this newly-created problem of “how the hell do users manage them” and the tech world seems to be collectively failing to realize that the benefit isn’t worth the cost. That last bit is subjective opinion, of course, but I’ve yet to see any end-users actually be enthusiastic about passkeys.

If that’s still flying over your head, there’s a direct real-world corollary that you’re probably already familiar with, but I haven’t seen mentioned yet: Chip-enabled Credit Cards. Chip cards still use symmetric cryptography, instead of asymmetric, but the “proper” implementation of passkeys, in my mind, would be basically chip cards. The card keeps your public/private key pair on it, with embedded circuitry that allows it to do encryption with the private key, without ever having to expose it. Of course, the problem would be the same as the problem with chip cards in the US, the one that quite nearly killed the existence of them: everyone that wants to support or use passkeys would then need to have a passkey reader, that you plug into when you want to login somewhere. We could probably make a lot of headway on this by just using USB, but that would make passkey cards more complicated, more expensive, and more prone to being damaged over time. Plus, that doesn’t really help people wanting to login to shit with their phones.

Automated certificate lifecycle management is going to be the norm for businesses moving forward.

This seems counter-intuitive to the goal of “improving internet security”. Automation is a double-edged sword. Convenient, sure, but also an attack vector, one where malicious activity is less likely to be noticed, because actual people aren’t involved in tbe process, anymore.

We’ve got ample evidence of this kinda thing with passwords: increasing complexity requirements and lifetime requirements improves security, only up to a point. Push it too far, and it actually ends up DECREASING security, because it encourages bad practices to get around the increased burden of implementation.

I mean, I don’t even particularly think it looks bad, not with the riser sections actually being enclosed, but how on earth do you get that to connect?

Please tell me those splitters are just cosmetic and don’t actually work with lifts clipped that far in…

The hell is that summary, AI-generated? Why yes, people DO work inside the TikToc building.

Talk about burying the lede, by not elaborating on that title, like the article does. “Stripping” does not mean that teenagers are being “stripped” from the platform, or from feeds, like I figured. It literally means that THEY are stripping. OnlyFans style. For gifts. Jesus fuck.

Yeah, “lack of vision”, that’s definitely the problem.

The “vision” of the Israeli government has been clear for quite a while, now: Israeli ownership and settlement of the entire region, achieved by killing off or convincing to leave everyone that’s already there.
