oh fuck my life, we're back to this circa 2000 default of having incompatible binary UIs frameworks across various different platforms, with different OEMs shitting the bed at various different times and Apple free to arbitrarily force

I have literally never seen anyone ever use those terms and also note they both truncate to Auth. Never change programming/maths in holding onto terrible naming conventions and making really hard stuff even harder to understand (CQRS a

Nice! I'd like to fix the prior abstract. Auth and auth upsets me greatly cos we have: Authentication & Authorization and we call both/either auth. Hence please help me make this a thing: AuthENTIcation & AuthORIzation :

I appreciate its not helpful but its as helpful as imagining some absurd conspiratorial future. In the same vein I could ask if you're the CIA trying to suppress earnest conversation. It just does nothing but hand wring about a bunch o

everyone is allowed to take their own risks. I don't pay for contents insurance. I'm up around a $1000 on that bet so far.

Oh I'm so glad it works this way round too. Kinda sick of the web being ruined by http pages that tell you to download a binary. Is anyone bothering trying to narrow that gap between native and web on phones so we can resume the proces

go to shop, notice that much food has been flown in from the four corners of the earth just to satisfy you. Go home, look at all the objects in your house, do the same thing. Then tell you that this has nothing to do with you.

I mean I'm quite proud of some of my search queries in the same way I'm quite proud of some of the LLM output I get. I'm probably just very arrogant and enjoying myself via some LLM indirection. Am I the only one that sometim

I don't think its wildly optimistic at all. Coming here, reading stuff and commenting is such a self-selecting process that it leaves you mostly with people who have extremely high cognitive function and intellectual curiosity and brav

Aw, sorry. I just wanted to sound sincere. Like you're underestimating yourself or well er.... others. Idk I'm sure you're smart. Stupid people think they're _really_ smart, imho being smart is mostly associated with hav

I think you're being hysterical. Getting threatened for 35 years in jail is absurd for the crime. Stating "oh well it would never have actually _been_ 35 years" is akin to pretending to punch someone and stopping just before

the sentences that US courts dream up around digital offences are absolutely obscene and seem to only exist as a means of coercion. However because they're still technically real and it feels disgusting.

pretty sure if you're commenting on here then you're way above average. It's not a compliment, its just that you're misunderstanding how low the bar is.

Are retries bad? These are the sort of reason they make me generally uncomfortable. I appreciate they might be useful in scenarios where connectivity is inherently problematic (e.g. mobile connectivity), but for a super connected and very
