While passkeys are an improvement on passwords in security terms, they are not perfect, and there are inevitable trade‑offs in their implementation.
https://www.computing.co.uk/analysis/2026/

Are passkeys ready for the enterprise? A qualified yes
Last week, the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) issued a recommendation that the default online authentication method for businesses and consumers should be passkeys.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) asked famed drunkard, Pete Hegseth, about his 'advisor' Timothy Parlatore:
Jason Crow: "He travels with you, yes?
Pete Hegseth: "Uh - "
"It's on Instagram, just say yes."
"Yes."

Still, per the OP’s point, we should learn from what it is about vibe coding that really appeals to people.
The OP makes the case that we should find better abstractions and better idioms to fight boilerplate. Yes. And that we should look to things like Hypercard that reward inexperienced experimentation and exploration. Very very yes.
The latter part of my thread argues that we should •also• search for better solutions to the “Don’t make me decide! Just do something typical!” problem. I don’t know what that looks like, but we should take that problem more seriously.

Accessibility Law of Headlines:
Any headline that asserts a thing is accessible is wrong.

Accessibility Law of Headlines
Betteridge’s law of headlines states that any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no. For at least the digital accessibility landscape, I would like to amend it, fork it, whatever it: Any headline that asserts a thing is accessible is wrong. Yes, that…

I asked @… if he wanted to try a #Tallbike and he instantly said "yes".
He also mounted it first time and had no issues or concerns. He didn't even ask for a helmet.

When I was young (like from 14-15 yo to 20) I listen almost exclusively to Prog rock.
But there was one band I could not stand: Yes.
As such, I have not listened to Yes ever since.
But this was 40 years ago.
So, right now, I am open for a second chance.
Tell me one Yes song to listen to. Only one.

If someone comes to me today preaching about “post-quantum” security issues, I’ll remind them of the current state of security: the npm ecosystem gets abused daily, CI pipelines run left and right with full access to cloud services, so-called security devices like F5 and Ivanti are exposed (and compromised) to the internet, mailboxes get compromised just to change an IBAN in a PDF, and a simple phone call is still enough to get someone to hand over an MFA code.
But yes, by all means, l…

In fact, there is no huge drop in voter turnout. There are simply too many people on the list of electors who have moved away or passed on. Yes, I can prove it.
https://yukon-news.com/2026/02/26/yukon-launches-voter-turnout-survey…

@… Yes, agreed.
But at the rate things are going… it feels like one could be in a situation where it isn’t a choice soon enough.

@… @… Yes, I was coming here to suggest Mint, either the Debian base or the Ubuntu.

NGL, I think my “favorite” weird driver behavior is someone who’s doing 10 MPH under the posted speed limit…then we get to a stop sign and the next section the speed limit is 10 MPH lower
NOW they’re going 10 miles OVER the speed limit🤯
(And yes, of course they rolled the stop sign, why even ask?)

A friend called to ask if he should bring some #mangoes over. I said no. 🥭
Then, another friend called to say he'd come over if I'm home. I said yes and he brought me 8 mangoes plus a lunch box w mango nectar.
Glad I said no to the first offer or I'd have to open a mango store. 😅

As a non-dev I really enjoy the strictness of code. And the strictness of reading error-messages. Miss a comma or a curly bracket and you're reminded of your shortcomings. The ah-yes-of-course moment. Come across that with my nixos-rebuild and the dwm make. Loving it. As long as I can solve it 🤣

I don't often go to the movies, but being able to share #projecthailmary with my wife and son was awesome. Some differences with the book, yes, but I didn't hate them. It had all of the same emotional impact as the book, and they kept the ending intact. Highly recommended.

Sometimes people say 'yes' when asked to do something helpful but not terribly glamorous.

"Mandelson’s lawyers, Mishcon de Reya"
I wonder where we've heard of Mishcon de Reya before? Are they a very reputable law firm, I wonder? Oh, yes, the money-laundering specialists involved in the persecution of Maltese anti-corruption campaigner Daphne Caruana Galizia, before her murder.
Lovely people.

It's the time of blood and pain…

Claude is being a tease.
(A useful example of how LLMs are still ultimately a matter of spitting out one word and then another. It's not actually thinking.)
I'm happy in using Claude for "what is the received wisdom about X?" questions, because the resolution of a paragraph or two of text is higher than Google's user interface of a short phrase, especially when I can say "no, I didn't mean that, I meant this instead". But it's still ultimat…

Feeling good that @… (red jacket) and my MP Gord Johns (orange tie) are right there behind @….
This is a good speech. Including parts in French delivered with confidence and passion.

How about:

Yes, I have a lot of family surnamed Allen
Yes, "Cole" has been used as a given name by collateral members of my father’s family historically. They were an odd bunch.
No, he’s not a (1st or 2nd, who knows past that) cousin.

AND at the same time, it can be true that voting for a Democrat is the best choice you have.
The two are not mutually exclusive. Yes, make the best political choice the moment offers, don't be like those people who didn't vote in 2024.
But DO acknowledge that we ALSO need to create better choices in future elections. And work towards making that happen.

Is it propaganda, yes. Is it also a bop, also yes.
It’s such a bop. Why can’t our despotic dictator’s AI slop propaganda be better than their despotic dictator’s AI slop propaganda. Make media manipulation great again!

Yes, yes, people were subjected to violence at the #correspondentsdinner. But where’s the reporting on its impact on fuel prices, vacation plans, and the S&P?

Some wing ding on the Internet replied to one of my comments and said “are you on drugs” and yes, I am, but I still know how to use a question mark and capitalize the first letter of the first word of a sentence.

I remember receiving the email to apply for the All Bodies on Bikes gravel team,
the way my heart jumped up and said yes.
This was a contradiction to the facts my logical mind knew.
I had never ridden on gravel.
I didn’t have a lot of free time to train.
This desire to be on the gravel team had come out of nowhere.
I’d never planned to do a gravel race.
If I were going to apply to be on a team, shouldn’t it be for something I had thought of doing…

I Rode My First Gravel Race at 53 and Became a Cyclist on the Way
For Summer Russo, a self-described big-bodied rider who had never touched gravel, the path to riding 54 miles of Oklahoma red dirt at the 2026 Mid South gravel race began not with a plan, but with a heart that said yes before her mind could talk her out of it. At 53, with a 34-mile personal record to her name, Summer joined the All Bodies on Bikes gravel team – a program built on the radical premise that cycling belongs to every body – and discovered something she hadn't been looking for: h…

Wow, just restrung (restrang?) my guitar with new Elixir strings I ordered on TradeMe yesterday afternoon. That was quick, and it sounds great! Yes, they're dearer than normal strings, but after 3 years of significant use, seems like a set of new strings isn't too extravagant.

Great piece by former Republican, Tom Nichols.
