TIL about the attestation. Ohhhh, why can't we just have nice things?

As much as I hate to admit it (because I love passkeys UX), but I do think that device-bound/attested passkeys are going to happen in the future :(
UPD: oh, heck, attested passkeys are actually already in the protocol. Why can't we just have nice things?

> Although operating systems have recently introduced APIs [...] for third-party tools to hook into, the experience remains fragmented and lacks the decades of UX polish towards password autofill. Autofill outside the browser and inside native applications remains especially inconsistent.
I disagree. It is just a wrong statement. Passkeys actually eliminate the flaky autofill part where password managers have to parse input fields. Ever since I learnt about KeePassXC and KeePassDx, I've tried to migrate as much of my accounts to passkeys. The experience is wonderful and KeePass allows me to see the private key behind the passkey - yes, yes, yes!

I am rooting for local-first approach [1] as a superior alternative to self-hosting

This still exists on modern Androids (thanks God!)
Even better: they moved it from developer options to accessibility options, which means that they treat it as a normal use case now
What is bad is that it still disables the animations for progress bars (the only place where the animation makes sense)

At my previous company we tried to use this tool to sync parts of the code between two different git repos. The tool turned out being unacceptably slow.
Handwritten bash scripts using git-replace and git-filter-repo [1] did a much better job

Oh no, it's paginated

Hehe, the classic rude and mean behavior from homebrew maintainers.
I get their motivation to remove the flag. In fact, it has always been better to run xattr in postinstall, this way the binary is free from quarantine even after updates.
But the way they communicate with people is unacceptable and just unnecessary.

It's good to have more documentation on Zig by the community, but I'm gonna throw in a bit of criticism.
One major thing I appreciate about the official Zig Language Reference is that it is no-pagination single html page that I can ctrl+f https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/ I wish more projects published their docs like that.
When I read, my mouse is busy selecting different parts of the text that I'm thinking about.
1. I don't want to move my mouse off the text to click the "next" button.
2. I don't want to move my mouse off the text to expand TOC items.
3. I don't want to waste my time on switching between pages back and forth.
I prefer the raw text on a long scrollable, non-interactive page with TOC on the side.
Otherwise, great to see more guides on the Zig topic.

> Well, you can't have different configs for different hosts
Though you can use git branches, but I prefer not to

That's why I use --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles
I rename .git directory to .dotfiles in my $HOME

Ah, that is what OP was referring to.
Well, you can't have different configs for different hosts. Other than that, I can't quickly recall what other limitations are, I see none. I really like the simplicity of the "pure git" approach.
My dotfiles repo dates back to 2018, I'm happy user of this git one-liner for the past 6 years.
