I started using passkeys via the browser (chrome) and OS (MacOS) - then my laptop died.

Found out passkeys were a trap and it took over a week to recover.

Now I will only use 1Password for passkeys. Not perfect, but at least portable.

If it's PP, it's probably just talc or a slip agent such as erucamide or oleamide. They migrate over time.

Appositives are my favorite.

This would be the same Antigravity 2.0 that "surprise, no longer an IDE, did I forget to mention that? Lolol."

I bought a flipper zero to reverse the shitty wireless remote that my pool equipment vendor wanted $1000 for.

This remote sent signals right in the middle of the flippers range.

The flipper didn't work for shit, was fucking weird, and had piss-poor documentation. The promise was democratizing radio hacking digital signals. That was, in the most charitable light, an oversell.

So for the low price of $200, I found out I could just buy a replacement remote off ebay for cheap rather than hacking up my own receiver.

Also, you can BUY a flipper, but you can't SELL a flipper.

Anyways, that's my flipper experience, I wish them the best but also I don't give a shit.

In their defense, a website not working on a popular browser was on-brand for the era.

This is just part of the operating nostalgia.

Exactly my thought. I know languages differ in support ... but enum is right there.

I don't understand this em-dash crap. MS Word automatically converts dashes used for appositives into em-dashes. The world is awash with them.

I wonder if the common gap here is the inability to reify specification.

LLMs seem to be a significant step forward in converting language to code, but they don't seem to engage self-directed abstraction.

Get Scramble and let me know if you can beat it. At a young age, that game destroyed any interest I had in video games. I played Scramble for hours, always dying at the same point over and over.

What's the point of this story? Bad actors win?

Here's a hot take: Name and Shame.

If this story is true, the author should be shouting their names from the rooftop.

Instead, we get this nonsense.

Still the best subscription I've gotten in years.

This. Had to deal with cosmic rays on earth in data centers 20 years ago.

I can't imagine running bleeding edge GPUs in a particle accelerator and getting reasonable results.

Hey, I've been a subscriber for a while. I love it. I wear the tshirt.

Thank you.

Apocryphal story time:

Had a family friend who was in a kicking oompah bad in the early 60s.

They thought there was going to be a surge in this market, and were getting some pretty big gigs.

The saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show and promptly quit for different careers.
