We had originally planned to go all-in on passkeys for ONCE/Campfire, and we built the early authentication system entirely around that. It was not a simple setup! Handling passkeys properly is surprisingly complicated on the backend, but we got it done. Unfortunately, the user experience kinda sucked, so we ended up ripping it all out...
To level up, the Vision Pro needs to make me feel less alone
There are several things I would like to see improve with the Vision Pro (and VR hardware in general), but it’s recently hit me that the main issue I have with using it is that despite all of the video passthrough and digital eyes on the outside of the

Everything you need to quickly get prepared for FAANG system design interviews. Written by former Meta and Amazon interviewers, this guide breaks down the core concepts, patterns, frameworks, and technologies needed to ace your system design interviews. It also breaks down some of the most commonly asked system design questions and provides detailed answers.
A smart card (SC), chip card, or integrated circuit card, is a card used to control access to a resource. It is typically a plastic credit card-sized card with an embedded integrated circuit (IC) chip. Many smart cards include a pattern of metal contacts to electrically connect to the internal chip. Others are contactless, and some are both. Smart cards can provide personal identification, authentication, data storage, and application processing. Applications include identification, financial, public transit, computer security, schools, and healthcare. Smart cards may provide strong security authentication for single sign-on (SSO) within organizations. Numerous nations have deployed smart cards throughout their populations.

What Is Fuzzy Matching and How to Use It Correctly
What is fuzzy matching? Learn different string-searching algorithms you can use and examples of how to overcome major side effect without losing relevance.
Python fuzzy string matching. Learn about Levenshtein Distance and how to approximately match strings. Determine how similar your data is by going over various examples today!
In computer science, approximate string matching is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately. The problem of approximate string matching is typically divided into two sub-problems: finding approximate substring matches inside a given string and finding dictionary strings that match the pattern approximately.
Like the relationships that we build within them, our platforms should yield satisfaction precisely because they’re non-trivial; they demand effort, which is another way of saying they require engagement with the world.
Urbit is a decentralized personal server platform based on functional programming in a peer-to-peer network.
The Urbit platform was created by neoreactionary political blogger Curtis Yarvin. The first code release was in 2010. The Urbit network was launched in 2013. The first user version was launched in April 2020.
AT&T’s CRISP Hobbits – an unexpected journey for AT&T’s own low power processor
Telecoms giant AT&T once had giant computing ambitions. Its Bell Labs research arm invented the transistor and developed the C programming language and the Unix operating system. As the owner o…
From their first introduction in 2005, the debate between adopting
a microservices architecture, a monolithic service architecture, or a hybrid between the two, has become one of the
least-reversible decisions that most engineering organizations make.
Even migrating to a different database technology is generally a less expensive change than moving from monolith
to microservices or from microservices to monolith.
The industry has in many ways gone full circle on that debate, from most hyperscalers in the 2010s partaking in
a multi-year monolith to microservices migration, to
Kelsey Hightower’s iconic tweet on the perils of distributed monoliths:
Alonzo Church was an American mathematician, computer scientist, logician, and philosopher who made major contributions to mathematical logic and the foundations of theoretical computer science. He is best known for the lambda calculus, the Church–Turing thesis, proving the unsolvability of the Entscheidungsproblem, the Frege–Church ontology, and the Church–Rosser theorem. Alongside his doctoral student Alan Turing, Church is considered one of the founders of computer science.
