This is much, much simpler than you think it is. Passkeys are just passwords that require a password manager. If you lose your passkey, you'll reset your passkey the same way you reset your password, probably with a "forgot my password" email.

This is why I don't bother with these if they have a weaker workaround, which will be open to remote hacking.

I don't care how it works, but as long as it requires me to physically have some device to log in (and doesn't have a backup, like emailing me or calling me), it puts security in my hands.

My compiler knows SIMD. However, knowing the limitations of SIMD might help avoid a calculation that can't be optimized to use it.

Eh? No.

That's what I thought. It is vetted software, just like on Linux. Microsoft just doesn't care if it shows ads.

LG now installs adware when you merely connect one of their monitors to a Windows PC.

Wait, you're saying a monitor can just advertise a URL over the video connection for its driver and then Windows will blindly install it, without user confirmation? I thought that LG had submitted these "drivers" (adware) to Microsoft and they approved it.

So does this mean that using a proxy will cause all of the "smart" features to stop working? Win-win.

That ballpoint pen wasn't going to write itself.

Totally hung my Windows 11 machine with Firefox and 32GB of RAM. Ryzen 8745HS (Radeon 780M iGPU).

It would be nice if popular ones were shown first. I scrolled through many pages and only recognized about 1 in 100, despite having used Classic Mac OS a ton through the late 2000s.

If we get to a point where direct sunshine all afternoon isn't hot, we're going to be in a big block of ice.

Do you have any concrete examples of this? I'm having trouble picturing these.

Why would electrification prevent track from warping due to heat from the sun?

I'm surprised the AI reads the outline version, since I thought most scaled the image down, which is basically a low-pass filter on those single-pixel lines.

First thought is in memes so automatic censoring doesn't catch it.

Yes, I find it ironic that Google is recommending that people take varied routes, when it's their very app that often puts a bunch of people on an obscure, same route. Many times I've taken one of its shortcuts, only to see a bunch of cars in front of me and behind me taking the same shortcut, clearly not one people would normally take.

Assuming compilers are smart enough to insert an unnecessary branch to break the dependency.

My other article on this topic advocates for using code over specs :)

Code is executable. Specs are not.

Properties are to allow dynamic actions for what appear to be simple variable accesses. They don't magically make those as fast as accessing a variable; they are a syntactic convenience to allow assignment and using the value implicitly rather than having to invoke a function/method. They could have cached the value and kept a dirty flag, but then everything that affected the value would have to be sure to mark it as dirty or result in subtle bugs.

I remember a story decades ago about "subvocal" speech, similar to this: https://spacenews.com/nasa-develops-system-to-computerize-si...

If I understand this correctly, it basically has the second thread wait until the first one experiences a hardware interrupt, which implicitly synchronizes memory. This avoids the first thread from needing any synchronization primitives that would slow it down.

The binary (base 2) clocks

Shouldn't this just have a single tick at the top labeled 1?

Or even a human rewrite merely because some language is the current fad. A rewrite in a different language should be done for very good reasons, to solve problems that are bigger than the costs of all the bugs that will be introduced.

These says I just ask YouTube's AI for a summary of the video. Then I can decide whether the presenter is worth another 20 minutes of my time.

We have this problem due to government regulation. Without it, every game would be cracked and downloadable without any restrictions on use. The server requirements would be reverse-engineered and neutered.

I've tried several (Amazon Vine) and I would just leave them outside to be sure they reach 430 or so, and then take them in a closed room, also breathe on them several times and it should spike quickly. Opening up to verify an actual CO2 sensor is also a good idea. A few just had a tiny sensor and faked various readings based on this.

I was amazed how quickly it rises in the car with windows up and recirculate mode for the fan. There's a reason it has a fresh air mode.

Great read. The section about copy protection and being able to step the head motor half tracks and do things like store tracks at half positions, or even store 180 degrees at one position and another for the rest, was very interesting. The disk copiers at the time always seemed pretty sophisticated, but I didn't realize they had to deal with things like this. I bet those were fun to write (and be part of the arms race).

I took parent to be arguing that because people get paid at the office even though they aren't working 100% of the time, the same logic would dictate being paid when not at the office. The percentage flip would just mean that they aren't 100% doing leisure activities.
