seemaze··on Show HN: Auto Dismiss Mac OS "Allow <app> to find devices on local networks?"
It's a couple hundred lines of code. You could just, like, read it.

seemaze··on Tailscale SSH: Investigation and remediation update
I've always had to manually enable this feature. I've never experienced it on by default across multiple platforms and deployments.

I picked up a 24GB 2TB M2 air and it's still cruising along. Short of having the foresight to pick up 512GB Ultra prior to the rampocalypse, I'm happy.

I always recommend Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe[0] by George Dyson when John von Neumann comes up, it's a fabulous read.

seemaze··on Iron Age salt-mining complex found beneath Hallstatt in Austria
I think it's unfair to call the workers unskilled - but accurate that professional sculptors were not retained to execute the works.

It is an incredible place. We visited by chance with a spare day in Krakow and had no idea what to expect. It is both historically fascinating and visually stunning to experience!

While I agree 100%, I'm more interested in the variable refresh down to 1hz that comes with 'Promotion' to save on battery when viewing lots of static text.

I just finished listening to the audiobook of Mark Kurlanskys Salt: A World History[0]. Fascinating and highly recommended.

>Dekton cause atoms in the particles of kaolinite and quartz to diffuse across the boundaries where they touch, turning the entire thing into what amounts to a single solid mass

seemaze··on Wayland desktop for Linux with skeuomorphic design
Man, first Felix Reiseberg[0], then OpenCode 2.0[1], and now this in the last 24 hrs. Really giving off heavy Myst vibes. They are briefly interesting encounters, buy I deeply hope this isn't a legitimate UI trend.

It's hardly even skeuomorphism, it's a almost digital twin rendered with Phong.

'Dudes' is more of a historical artifact than an implicit requirement. But I'll allow dudes in the general form of 'enlightened persons'.
seemaze··on Ask HN: CAD for wood working with LLM support?
A friend of mine was borrowing the shop of a very well known luthier to build some furniture. I stopped by to check the whole situation out and I found them both with their brows furrowed trying to work out some tolerances for a joint on a scrap piece of paper. As an architect by training, I quipped "at some point you'll have to start making proper drawings of you projects ahead of time", to which the luthier replied "the plans are always the problem, you're better off letting the wood tell you how it should be put it together." to which I had no reply..
seemaze··on Passkeys are not a trap
>I've never seen this before

Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Cisco, Steam to name a few.

>It's just my opinion

Fair enough. I find TOTP to be a PITA. I share your ire with user hostile platforms, but I see the passkey protocol as a net benefit to the status quo. It's unclear how a platform's choice to use a stricter version of the protocol is any different than their choice not to implement RFC 6238 at all.

seemaze··on Passkeys are not a trap
Smells like FUD. Who's providing the ability to ban software? Providers are free to implement authentication requirements like SDC vs MDC the same way they can enforce minimum password entropy or maximum password age.

In practice I'm aware of more 'lock in' behavior in the form of restricting which TOTP client is accepted than for Passkeys. There are many more bespoke 'Authenticator' apps than there are passkey implementations, many of which disallow registering codes in third party wallets.

Bitwarden also syncs TOTP. Given it's the same client, why push folks to opt for a provably weaker protocol with higher potential for user harm?

seemaze··on Passkeys are not a trap
The internet is built on possibilities and sustained through consensus. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.
seemaze··on Passkeys are not a trap
Outside of a corporate Microsoft Entra login policy, I'm not aware of Bitwarden passkeys being widely denied in practice.

Bitwarden[0] can store and supply passkeys (and passwords of course) across macOS, iOS, Windows and linux seamlessly.

seemaze··on Food processing influences metabolism and brain activity
Processed food ingredients in the US are highly subsidized by the US government. The resulting processed foodstuffs are shelf stable, widely distributed, and trounce local options in the market place through sheer scale. More often than not, "real food" == "health food" == "luxury item". It's unfortunate and unhealthy.
