Is this substantiated?

At this point for many projects it’s now depressingly, a matter of degree.

Eh, it’s 2 years newer than the AMD architecture, on a better node, and has better memory packaging. I mean it’s great they’re getting this performance, but wait until Zen 6 for a contemporary architecture and node comparison.

Lobsters manages an okay community (caveat: from what I’ve seen), but their lack of particularly strong rules or guidelines (just as with HN) don’t give me a ton of confidence in their ability to handle value conflict. Following, they don’t really state their community values anyway, which is something I find increasingly important.

Also with respect to the feedback cycles from hiding progressive comments that has been posed; I see a similar thing happening with these invite-only platforms. You are less likely to have diverse opinions and viewpoints from a userbase that largely grows only from the people in the same degree as existing users.

I’ve written about that last part before, and I’d like to stress that’s as neutral an appraisal I can proffer; I think for some communities that is an ideal model, but for many others it would be stifling.

Really depends on what you mean by passkey, since it’s actually a fairly vague term for a bundle of technologies.

I don’t really care for password manager passkeys; just use a password, all it really does is save you from needing to enter a username in a login flow.

But I’m a big fan of hardware 2fa using non-resident keys (“passkey” lite); I’ll use a regular login flow with a password manager, then the 2FA step with a hardware token. Basically bulletproof (ditto if you secure your PW manager with hw 2fa) and painless.
