Although when setting this up, Gmail really make you feel like they might pull support at any minute.
I wonder if Fastmail could log you in to Gmail in a way that's consistent with Google's security model, similar to how you can "log in with Google" on many services. I'd much prefer it over the app password thing.
Now that you mention it, I remember that's how Fastmail works today. They use app passwords for non-Google-hosted email inboxes, and 'login with Google' for Google-hosted inboxes.
> I wish there was a stronger differentiation between syncable and device-bound passkeys.
But there is no difference. I'd prefer if services just let me generate a passkey and leave it entirely up to me how I manage it. Whoever setup granny's device should have done so with a cloud based manager.
I think Google tries to make some confused distinction, or maybe that has more to do with FIDO U2F vs FIDO2. There you can add either a "passkey" or a "security key", but iirc I added my passkey on my security key so... yeah
A whole paragraph on how freakishly ugly he was. I google images and he looked perfectly normal and fine in the portraits which I assume at least some were accurate.
I agree, looking at portraits he looks just fine. I wouldn't call him handsome but certainly not "ugly" or "grotesque". But it seems part of the impact of his appearance was due to his movements and his proportions, neither of which are going to be easy to discern from portraits. Take this image, for example. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Hans_Chr.... It could be his coat exaggerating his proportions, and maybe some amount of forced perspective, but I can begin to see that his hands are quite large, his head seems a bit small.
I've been using my aeropress a lot lately after having it mostly collect dust for the better part of a decade. What I've found, as I've hopefully matured a bit since I got it, is that my problem with it was always more of a problem with myself; being a bit of a contrarian. The thing is just too revered, and for really no good reason. People are so damn pretentious about it with their recipes and championships.
James Hoffman, mentioned in the OP, has an excellent method of using it though. Removing all the bullshit and serving a slap in the face to the culture around it, I've actually come to enjoy this device using his no-nonsense "recipe".
I still prefer a good pour over but sometimes a quick plunge with the aeropress hits the spot.
>The thing is just too revered, and for really no good reason.
I disagree. I think the reasons are all solid. It's (used to be) cheap, almost unbreakable, easy to use, easy to clean, easy to carry, no faffing (unless you want to be pretentious), highly tolerant on incontinences regarding grind size or brew times. There is no other coffee brewer that ticks all these boxes simultaneously, and I tried them all. The only downsides are it doesn't make huge hearthy portions for multiple people.
>People are so damn pretentious about it with their recipes and championships.
So what? You don't have to be. Just use it the way it suits you best. That's kind of the beauty of it: you can use it like a caveman or like a campion barista if that's your jam.
I understood OP post as an admission, that the "too revered" and "people being pretentious" thoughts he held previously were due to him being "a bit of a contrarian"; and he doesn't believe those things anymore.
Now re-reading it, I am not sure if that reading is entirely justified given the "removing all the bullshit and serving a slap in the face" in the latter sentences. Oh well!
Version control that is simpler to reason about, and doesn't have such complex layers of tooling underneath is quite possible. It is network effects that keep us on git.
Git is extremely easy to reason about and requires the use of a very small number of commands. It would not have become the dominant VCS if that weren't true because nobody would have switched to it.
It became the dominant version control system because (1) Linux and (2) GitHub. There were better version control systems even at the time (and better ones still now).
Also not a web person, but my guess is that the bottle app makes the requests from the "server" end, so even though you're accessing the app in your browser, the browser is only communicating with the local app server and thus isn't in the way to enforce CORS.
It's true that you can change the settings via the app, but it also allows for automatic time adjustment, which is nice when you live somewhere where the time signal radio reception can be sketchy. (Australia)
You can also use the "find my phone" feature when it's nearby, which to my surprise I've actually done a few times.
Last I checked, Steam still has me logging in with my two decade old hotmail address as my account name. At least it's not something that shows publicly, I think.
I'm able to log out and back into Steam using my plain username rather than email. The box actually says"enter account name" and wouldn't log me in if I tried to enter my email instead. I'm not sure if there are conditions to this e.g. my account was only created in 2009 and I'm not sure if I've ever toggled anything that "flipped it over" along the way either.
On the API side I know Steam has something like 3 different forms of auto generated alphanumerical account ID and I imagine that's what everything is really keyed off of on the back end.
Actually it did reflow the entire page. In particular, it inserted line breaks where ever text was being laid out, without ever messing with the width of divs or other elements. It then made a seamless jump with the viewport to keep the point of interest where you expect it to be on the screen. That's years ago when the Chromium version came out, however. I don't know how or if it works today, or how it was implemented in Presto before then.
The version with per div reflowing might have been before android. My Sony P1i ran symbian I think, can't remember actually. It was way before reactive webpages were a thing. And it worked really well for making most desktop pages usable on my phone. I also missed the scroll wheel and the rocker keyboard for the longest time
Is there even an industry standard format? I've been dumping CSV to my accountant and I plan on doing the same for the tax authority if they came knocking.
Something tells me they can't be too picky about such things. My experience with the tax authorities in three countries now tells me they'll take whatever odd format data you hand them.
> SAF-T Financial is a standard format used in the exchange of accounting data. SAF-T, or Standard Audit File-Tax, is the result of a joint development collaboration between the business community, the accounting sector and the Norwegian Tax Administration, based on a recommendation by the OECD.
There is not. Financial accounting is built on random csv-ish formats and pure brute force. Half the time we can't even agree on using the same date format within the same dataset. One of our banking partners even require macros (yes, excel vba macros) to be enabled for their data to make sense. It's madness, but if you want to make money, you can't be picky with the data formats.
