In retrospect native apps were a terrible idea. I try to use web apps as much as possible.

I don't really buy that there's a strong anti EU sentiment in Europe. I don't think its supported by facts. The UK was always an outlier in Europe and only joined when forced by Economic reality, which they will be again in 20 years.

For 1. Can't the attestation result function as an identifier that the service uniquely associates with an account?

For 2. I have sufficient trust in my society that this would be the case or would have significant negative ramifications for the parties involved. Probably not true for all countries.

Is that the only way? It seems conceivable to me that you could have some sort of publicly run infrastructure that asserts your age is above some threshold without sharing your identity. So long as that system recorded no log of who asked it for assertions about whom then I can't see an objection to age verification.

Even though it was those same governments who set the EU up in the first place because it was mutually beneficial.

The VW app can't do remote unlock so that's not a problem. It allows you to turn on the aircon or start charging and that's about it. That only works 50% of the time anyway.

Yep same thing on /e/os guess I'll never be buying another VW. Well done guys.

It took roughly 5 billion years to get where we are now. The sun will die in another 5 billion years. I don't think there's that many rolls of the dice left.

Has to be the dumbest common response to climate change. You're against one potential method of reducing carbon emissions, therefore the problem doesn't exist. Well done.

You see the words "suggest" and "may" in the subhead yeah?

If you only use npm to manage client side deps then it removes the ability to compromise a devs machine or the CI server. Seems like nice attack vectors to just eliminate entirely.

If I just continually predict that it will rain tomorrow I'll be right eventually. That doesn't mean that I know anything about the weather.

> Maybe vibe bun is just as good or better than old bun, but how would we know at this point?

By considering objective facts like efficiency, performance, error rates, security vulns etc. like we always do?

Will be interesting to see how this pans out. Some people will see minor issues as proof that AI is terrible, but honestly if this gets released and is relatively uneventful it just highlights how the art of building software had changed completely in the last few years.

I have tried not working and it's great.

Well that's confusing. The company Fin will now make the products Intercom and Fin rather than the company Intercom making the products Fin and Helpdesk. Hard to see how that's an improvement.

If you're touting widgets in your marketing its a sure sign that you have nothing useful to sell.

So in summary:

- a writable shared global cache is made available to PRs opened from forks by randomers.

- that cache is reused in the deploy pipeline

- deploys can be made with a single authentication factor, stored on the CI server

- the repository apparently does nothing to check for malicious deploys, delegating that to 3rd parties to do after the code is in the wild.

- by default the package manager runs random code when a package is updated

What a world we live in.

I love connections but holy crap can people just not spot an edit? It's a cool shot but the bit he had to time is short and pretty simple.

But that's not what this article is? The author is clearly a long time AWS user and former evangelist who has soured on it as it has become increasingly bloated.

So a research arm of the European parliament is "the EU" now?

I think they're basically the same. ”AI is useless for everything, therefore I will never use it", or "AI will solve everything so i'm never going to even look at the code it produces". Both extreme/absolutist positions and both impractical/foolish.

The ideas are alluring because they're extreme. However the relatively boring stuff in the middle is far more likely to reflect reality or be actually useful.

AI discourse perfectly illustrates why you should just ignore people with view points on the extreme ends of the spectrum.

React Native is only an application framework. Using a tool with an unstable API a level down the stack seems much worse. Foundations of sand is the phrase that springs to mind.

Picking a pre 1.0 language to build your product always seemed like a bad choice to me. Purely on that basis and ignoring the recent drama this seems like a reasonable idea for tech debt pay down to me. Assuming automated conversion can work without making things worse, which is not exactly a given.

I mean sure if you define worship as anything people do or anything believe as important then everyone worships something. That seems categorically different to the standard definition of worship though.

And what do the military use them for?

Can we just stop the "well actually its kinda like how humans work" talk when discussing AI failures? It contributes nothing novel to the discussion.

It's called the Holocene extinction and it's happening right now.
