I think that's coming regardless. AI just might be the perfect storm to bring the timeline in considerably.

One way it works is if you think of cognitive debt as the "house". As in "the house always wins".

Should probably mention that Guido ended up on the team working on a pretty credible JIT effort. Though Microsoft subsequently threw a wrench in it with layoffs. Not sure the status now.

Last time I looked at SQRL, it had an unfixable man-in-the-middle problem. Though, general acceptance of QR Codes does seem to have finally taken off.

Yes, these will be stored in cloud storage like iCloud Keychain. But I can go into my iCloud Keychain and delete individual passkeys - or I may have only one Apple device and then lose it. Or some malware clears out all of my iCloud Keychai

Normal usage would require a reauthentication - i.e. FaceId or TouchId - to produce the passkey.

I think this is really great news and am glad to see FIDO move forward as I think it greatly increases account security. One aspect of FIDO that could still be troublesome is account recovery in case of inadvertent loss of passkey. OOB reco

Not that this validates the claim, but this was a pretty influential post by the author of Flask circa 2016: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2016/10/30/i-dont-understand-asynci...

Ditto. I started out on Twisted back in the day and stayed with it for 6 years all they way up until they introduced deferreds combined with yield/generators (the same technique which is the heart of today's asyncio). It was great

You are jumping to mistaken conclusions based on one review, the motivations of which you don't know. I think cross-platform apps are commonly misapplied and really only make economic sense with the appropriate assumptions. Once a comp

I find Qt/QML for cross-platform mobile applications to be a great solution. It uses the same basic architecture as Flutter – they both do not use native widgets and instead draw the entire UI on a blank graphics canvas. I think that a

Not sure if it matches your use case or not, but I use sshfs with Sublime Text and it's just as good as local editing.

I would not underestimate the value of experience. And the older you get, the more of it you have a chance to acquire. I think the mistake most people make is to deliberately slow down as you get older. Never slow down and you'll keep

Here's an approach I've used before successfully. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing. 1. Create your own root Certificate Authority. 2. Create a script using your favorite language and libraries that will crea

I'm curious, when you refer to Qt, do you mean the QWidget application approach or QML? QML is much more like Flutter (but is indeed somewhat arcane to learn how to work with).
21.
by davidkhess 6y ago
My perspective is that Flutter is positioned dead on against Qt's QML. I develop mobile and desktop QML applications and this seems to be trying to be very competitive with it. Qt also has a WebAssembly build for QML apps on the web bu

I developed a different take on this issue recently. It's not that technology could destroy us - it's that the amount of complexity we are continually building with technology will eventually outstrip the resources and intellect o

What if the root cause is the ever increasing complexity that software is trying to manage? At all levels (legislature, management, bureaucrats, programming languages, developers, testers, users, subjects) we are creating more and more comp

This is impressive but I think it's interesting that Apple is seemingly jettisoning Auto Layout with the introduction of SwiftUI with Stacks and Alignments. Having worked with a lot of different layout and alignment systems, Auto Layou

So, here's what I'm really curious about. Anybody know why they didn't use OAuth 2.0? Some of the bits of this API smell somewhat like OAuth, but this seems simpler and is handled mostly in the frontend (via an iframe I assum
