I think that's coming regardless. AI just might be the perfect storm to bring the timeline in considerably.

One way it works is if you think of cognitive debt as the "house". As in "the house always wins".

Should probably mention that Guido ended up on the team working on a pretty credible JIT effort. Though Microsoft subsequently threw a wrench in it with layoffs. Not sure the statu…

Xonsh is perfect for this: https://xon.sh

Last time I looked at SQRL, it had an unfixable man-in-the-middle problem. Though, general acceptance of QR Codes does seem to have finally taken off.

Yes, these will be stored in cloud storage like iCloud Keychain. But I can go into my iCloud Keychain and delete individual passkeys - or I may have only one Apple device and then …

Normal usage would require a reauthentication - i.e. FaceId or TouchId - to produce the passkey.

I think this is really great news and am glad to see FIDO move forward as I think it greatly increases account security. One aspect of FIDO that could still be troublesome is accou…

Not that this validates the claim, but this was a pretty influential post by the author of Flask circa 2016: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2016/10/30/i-dont-understand-asynci...

Ditto. I started out on Twisted back in the day and stayed with it for 6 years all they way up until they introduced deferreds combined with yield/generators (the same technique wh…

You are jumping to mistaken conclusions based on one review, the motivations of which you don't know. I think cross-platform apps are commonly misapplied and really only make econo…

I built the initial version of this app for a startup: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/listeners-on-call/id1498666617... It has a very good UX designer and I've developed multiple co…

I find Qt/QML for cross-platform mobile applications to be a great solution. It uses the same basic architecture as Flutter – they both do not use native widgets and instead draw t…

Not retired though - currently at Microsoft.

Not sure if it matches your use case or not, but I use sshfs with Sublime Text and it's just as good as local editing.

I would not underestimate the value of experience. And the older you get, the more of it you have a chance to acquire. I think the mistake most people make is to deliberately slow …

Here's an approach I've used before successfully. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing. 1. Create your own root Certificate Authority. 2. Create a script using your favori…

I'm curious, when you refer to Qt, do you mean the QWidget application approach or QML? QML is much more like Flutter (but is indeed somewhat arcane to learn how to work with).

My perspective is that Flutter is positioned dead on against Qt's QML. I develop mobile and desktop QML applications and this seems to be trying to be very competitive with it. Qt …

I developed a different take on this issue recently. It's not that technology could destroy us - it's that the amount of complexity we are continually building with technology will…

What if the root cause is the ever increasing complexity that software is trying to manage? At all levels (legislature, management, bureaucrats, programming languages, developers, …
