Is it the Multipeer Connectivity you’re talking about? I’ve never heard of it before. It does seem like something that could be used to track users.

i and I are acceptable in small loops. But it depends a lot on the language used. If you’re in C or bash maybe it’s fine. But if you’re in a higher level language like C# you usually have built on functions for iterating over something.

For example you have a list of movies you want to get the rating from, instead of doing

for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
    var movie = movies[i]
    ....

Its often more readable to do

movies.forEach { movie -> 
    var rating = movie.rating
    ....
}

Also if you work with tables it can be very helpful to name your iteration variables as row and column.

It’s all about making it readable, understandable, and correct. There’s no point having comments if you forget to update them when you change the code. And you better make sure the AI comments on the 2000 lines of three letter variables is correct!

Colloquially crypto means crypto currencies or NFTs like bitcoin, not normal encryption.

Their stance on default privacy and sticking a finger to law enforcement is leagues above both Microsoft and Google/Android. So far at least.

Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.

I’m always amused by Eminem’s line in “Without Me”. “Little kids feeling rebellious, Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis”.

Any parents here with gen z kids who can chip in? 😄

That doesn’t sound like a TOTP vs passkey situation though. It sounds like the program just releases the passkey when you give it the fingerprint. There wouldn’t be anything stopping the program from generating a OTP and passing that along when you identify with the fingerprint.

I think a big issue is how difficult it can seem to be to get easy access to TOTP codes, like in your example digging up your phone. But that’s more of a browser/operating system failure for not implementing a way to generate those codes like they can already store usernames and passwords.

The Nazi gold is still very much a thing. And the descendants of Jewish people who died in concentration camps are often unsuccessful in reclaiming any wealth that was stored in Swiss banks, because they don’t have death certificates and what not. Switzerland is incredibly stubborn and selfish when it comes to anything that would tarnish their neutral stance in banking and politics.
