rqlite is a great project! Sometimes I have been wondering, how hard would it be to embed it into web server process, like nginx or apache, as a module.
> There's really only 4 framerworks (React, Vue, Angular & Svelte, in this order), they pretty much do the same thing
For me it looks there are only 4 frameworks in that category. htmx in my eyes feels like a welcomed step back from those. Closer to what we used to do before (server-side html generation and such), but with a small twist. I have not really used it, but React etc. never felt good fit for me, personally.
I'd love to understand when a browser account/profile picker is useful? I do know that I need to pick e.g. account for which Gmail inbox I want to read, but that happens inside Gmail's account picker. I know that I could have profile in browser so that it always logins to right account, but then again when I browse different things, I do not want to constantly switch the browser profile either. Then on computers you have separate user accounts already that different family members can use without leaking their personal data.
For development, the incognito/guest is usually good enough (when you need to have "clean" state).
I use different Safari profiles when browsing work related websites. For example, I have my personal Apple ID and Microsoft account, but for work I need to sign in with another. It's handy to use a separate profile, so one doesn't need to constantly switch. Another aspect is bookmarks - for work, I need all kinds of company tools to be easily accessible that don't belong among my personal favourites.
> Frankly, nothing the EU or the USA is doing at this point will matter, if Asia carries on doing what they are doing.
Perhaps something that EU or the USA ends up doing, will make Asia not to carry what they are doing?
> We need to either invent technology (which we are) to reduce emissions, or even extract them from the air, OR we need some crazy form of diplomacy to stop Asia from growing
This seems to give some hope that EU or the USA can do something on their own, which feels like it may even matter. Or did you mean "AND" instead of "OR"?
You need to get the 256 bit key (probably represented as 32 bytes in your computer's memory - usually crypto random bytes, e.g. key derivation like HKDF). Not sure how Zoom exactly does it, but it is likely that this key is rotated frequently. You might need associated authenticated data too (or AAD) to be sure that you got decryption right.
> I switched from viewing Google mostly positively to more skeptically
I think I share the feeling. I feel more and more disconnect from their stuff every day. Same thing with their hardware. Original Google Wifi was great, the Google Nest Wifi Pro is not. You cannot listen Rage Against The Machine's Bullet in the Head in their Youtube Music Premium without popups, that you cannot disable. The only answer from their customer support seems to be: "please, unsubscribe". The search engine feels also worse and worse. If you put anything more specific, all the links lead to fake sites. Youtube is still quite good, mostly because of the content not found elsewhere. In general I care Google a lot less these days, and I feel it is a mutual feeling.
What point? That we should not call convicted extortionist a hacker? I sure agree with you, but we (outsiders) should not call unconvictected (regardless of their previous history) people a hacker or extorsionist either.
In the US, defamation requires either knowledge of falsehood or reckless disregard for the truth. It's not reckless disregard for the truth to say someone who's been arrested for a crime did that crime, even if it may be premature.
