Are you seriously equating security software running on business systems with state violence / surveillance on people? Those two things are not even remotely comparable, starting with business systems not being people that have rights

Na ja, dein “wer da drinne das 2fa feature nutzt hat das konzept von 2fa nicht verstanden” klingt – gerade für Laien – schon sehr nach “dann kann man es auch gleich lassen”. Das wollte ich nur richtig stellen.

wer da drinne das 2fa feature nutzt hat das konzept von 2fa nicht verstanden.

Das würde ich nicht so hart sehen, 2FA im PW-Manager ist immer noch um Welten besser als kein 2FA, und für viele Normalos kannst du nichts komplizierteres als das empfehlen weil sie es sonst halt gar nicht benutzen würden.

Passwörter können auf verschiedenen Wegen in die falschen Hände geraten, 2FA im Passwortmanager schützt immer noch prima gegen alle davon, außer halt wenn der Passwortmanager selbst geknackt wird. Und wenn das passiert, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, dass der Angreifer es eh auch schon in eins meiner Geräte reingeschafft hat, und somit auch Zugriff auf eine etwaige getrennte 2FA-App hat. Um das zu verhindern, muss es dann halt wirklich schon die Yubikey-Lösung sein, was aber wiederum aktuell nichts ist, was die Non-Techies in meinem Leben realistisch tatsächlich benutzen würden.

Edit: für meine Argumentation ist es wichtig dass du nicht ohne eins meiner Geräte in den PW-Manager reinkommst, aka das Modell von 1Password. Ich glaube Proton Pass ist nicht ganz so gut abgesichert, weil deine Daten da nur mit dem normalen Account-Passwoet verschlüsselt sind, nicht nochmal mit nem extra-Key

Happened with Lone Echo for me. It’s a VR game where you’re in a space station, and you move around in zero g by just grabbing your surroundings and pulling yourself along or pushing yourself off of them. I started reflexively attempting to do that in real life for a bit after longer sessions

And science fiction somehow can’t be fascist?

Interesting, that seems kinda unsafe to me. The one I checked was Ryanair, they fully prohibit batteries in checked luggage

That’s only for cabin luggage. In checked luggage, Lithium Ion batteries are completely banned. If a battery bursts into flames in the cabin, it can be handled with hopefully minimal damage. You do not want that to happen in the belly of the plane packed in closely between everyone else’s luggage with no way of getting it contained until the planes lands.

• Waking up via lights slowly dimming on is much nicer than an acoustic alarm.
• Light temperature adjusting to current time of day is very nice and does loads for my mood
• Lights automatically turning on and off based on presence and measured light levels is totally unnecessary but just so convenient
• Getting a reminder to take the wash out when the machine is done
• Smart plug automatically turns off power to other devices when the TV is turned off

Hab tatsächlich heute zum ersten Mal erlebt, wie ein entgegenkommendes Auto das Fernlicht automatisch nur in meine Richtung ausgestellt hat (und auch korrekt nachgeführt als wir aneinander vorbeigefahren sind), um mich herum aber weiterhin hell erleuchtet hat. Das war mal ganz cool!

Ich glaube das ist nicht das richtige Wort hier - oder bekommen manche Leute tatsächlich Geld für Inhalte auf Wikipedia?

Oh, that sounds really cool! At what time does this validation happen? While you code, or later at build time?

I’m not talking full blown ORM here, not a fan of those either. I’m talking about some light weight wrapper that basically just assembles SQL statements for you, while giving you just a little more type safety and automatic protection against SQL injection, and not sacrificing any performance. I’m coming from the JVM world, where Jooq and Exposed are examples of that kind of thing.

As the other commenter said, the Jetbrains IDEs do this perfectly fine. Although I’d also argue that if you’re working with SQL from within another language already, a DSL wrapper is probably gonna be the better way to go about this.

Well then use all-caps keywords whenever working on those systems, I don’t care. But an edge case like that shouldn’t dictate the default for everyone else who doesn’t have to work on that, that’s all I’m saying.

My ide isn’t limited to color when it comes to highlighting, so being color blind generally shouldn’t be a problem. Set keywords to underlined, bold, italic, whatever works for you.

Your other examples I can see, but at least at my work those are rare edge cases, and I’d rather optimize for the brunt of the work than for those. Of course at other places those might be much more of a concern.

I understand it as an attempt to get very basic, manual syntax highlighting. If all you have is white text on black background, then I do see the value of making keywords easy to spot by putting them in all caps. And this probably made sense back when SQL was first developed, but it’s 2023, any dev / data scientist not using a tool that gives you syntax highlighting seriously needs to get with the times

Nah, definitely not. As silly as it sounds, that was what I was most excited about in Windows 11 - finally some nice rounded corners on non-maximized windows.

Never heard of that, thanks for bringing it to my attention!

That one does not sit in the center of the retina though, and doesn’t have anything to do with higher motion-sensitivity in your peripheral vision. The macula, which the other commenter describes, is what’s responsible for that, and it’s a different thing than the blind spot.

we technically have a large blind spot right in the middle of the retina, and that’s why we’re more sensitive to movement in our side vision.

You’re conflating the blind spot and the macula there.

We do not have a blind spot in the middle of the retina. If that were the case it would be pretty problematic for vision. What we do have is what’s called the Macula, an area of high concentration of cones and low concentration of rods. Cone cells give us highly detailed color vision, while rod cells only give us overall brightness, but are much more sensitive to light. That’s why, as you mention, we’re more sensitive to movement in our peripheral vision, and also why the center of our vision performs way worse in very low light situations. (Ever seen a faint star that seems to vanish when you try to look right at it? That’s why)

We do actually have a fully blind spot, but that one sits not at the center of the retina, but off to the side. It’s where the optic nerve enters the retina, and it doesn’t have anything to do with better/worse perception of movement, it’s just fully blind and always gets interpolated by the brain, it literally fills it up with what it thinks should be there. If you get a small object right into that spot for one eye and cover the other eye, it will just disappear.
