12·2 months agoI’d absolutely qualify it as non-secure in this context. Signal is E2E encrypted but there are no systems in place where it understands who’s added to a chat and validates access based on ACLs or anything. Authorization policies are critical in securing systems.
Four times??? We’re almost diving by zero here. Sanders is basically infinity times more sane.
Yep, we disagree. The world and technology especially is an extremely complicated place. IMO any complex system that is built upon “humans should just know all this complexity and keep it in mind all the time” is fundamentally broken.
I think you’re saying the same thing as what I am. If it’s more complex than what you may think, the language should guard against it. If not, it should make it simple.
Rust, for example, is the only mainstream language where it isn’t possible to read from a file handle after it’s been closed. Doing so is a compilation failure. This is just a general invariant of “how to use files”.
But you also don’t need to think about allocating or deallocating memory in Rust. It does that fke you automatically, even though it’s not GC.
JS can also be complicated when it tries to hide realities about the world. E.g. is a const array or object immutable? No, the pointer is. But pointers don’t exist! /s
I mean, this is correct in many cases, unironically.
It should be one of the core purposes of a programming language to help humans to write the code they intend. If a language doesnt do that then it’s bad.
15·2 months agoI feel like bananas would be cold as hell if they were growing that fast.
1·2 months agodeleted by creator
2·2 months agoThat’s not nit picky.
Another method I’ve used extensively is to block code reviews on unmaintainability. Management has insight into high level stuff, but devs where I work dictate what gets merged.
Early 1900s doesn’t mean 1900-1909. It usually means the early century (1900-1950). If they were born in 1945 then had a child when they were 30, that child would be 50.
Also, they might just mean that their mentality is like that of the early 1900s, not that their parents are necessarily that old.
5·2 months agoI’m still appalled that my Yubikey / FIDO2 still doesnt work on Firefox. I have it as a passkey for GitHub, realized it doesnt work on Firefox, so they just prompt me for my password. That seems backwards to have password as a fallback, too.
Switched to Posteo and Addy.io
Weird, LinkedIn works for me with Addy and a custom address. Same with GitHub.
Interesting, what sites have you experienced that with? I haven’t gotten blocked from anything so far.
Life changing. SimpleLogin sucks so much.
Yeah, I noticed that too! It would be cool to make a more easily accessible collection of these kinds of things.
I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes
Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).
Super awesome.
