I disagree, the claude models seem the best at tool calling, opus 4.5 seems the smartest, and claude code (+ claude model) seems to make good use of subagents and planning in a way that codex doesn't

From the article:

Nowadays, newly-onboarded Discord corporate users receive a laptop and at least one Yubikey alongside that laptop. IT onboards users to Okta and instructs them to register at least two WebAuthn authenticators; typically, this is their Macbook’s TouchID/Windows Hello sensor and also their Security Key C NFC.

We also instruct corporate users to set up Okta Verify for use only as a fallback MFA in the event that all their authenticators fail at once. This way, we never have user accounts lacking at least one strong form of multi-factor authentication.

So OS level keys, a yubikey for roaming, and Okta Verify for fallback

Theft of iPhones basically stopped being a problem because features like these makes the device a mostly useless brick once it’s marked in Apple’s systems as stolen.

Uhh, got a citation on that?

I've been going back and forth between tiling WMs on Linux, and using this on Windows, and I 100% think this is the better approach. You set the minimum grid size, and then using your mouse you drag windows over grid boxes until it's set up how you want.

This is, IMO, better than a tiling WM as you don't have to mess about with resizing windows or changing the way the layouts are stacked. Just put the windows where you want them, and move them when you want them.

SPAs Are Dead? 5 years ago

That's not true. Wikipedia [0] has a nice summary:

A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from the web server, instead of the default method of the browser loading entire new pages. The goal is faster transitions that make the website feel more like a native app.

I used Firefox for years.

I recently moved back to a Chromium based browser (Edge). Even on a fairly powerful system (16 logi cores/4GHz) it's just noticeably faster. SPAs are actually usable again. Video decoding is hardware accelerated and I can now play 4k videos without every interaction with the browser lagging like crazy.

Firefox is great, theoretically. But even then, Mozilla keep making inane decisions - lately their plans to remove compact mode [0] were in the news. Why?!

The issue with that is that those words (blacklist/whitelist specifically) have no connotation to race.

It's not an issue. The etymology of the words have nothing to do with race.

Trying to get people to change them _creates_ that link.

There are real issues that could be focused on to bring about effective change. Not this.
