jakoblorz··on German implementation of eIDAS will require an Apple/Google account to function
It might not even have to be a smartphone, but much lighter yubikey style (pk/sk signature) devices.

I hate to say it but the form factor of those crypto hardware wallets might be a good compromise between smartphone and very low level tech. Non-tech folks should be able to use them too, a struggle that the crypto space is constantly working with

Not sure I‘m getting what you are saying - us providers‘ capital city is always in Washington DC, no?

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding something here

jakoblorz··on German implementation of eIDAS will require an Apple/Google account to function
What if you „lose“ your google / apple account, like this sanctioned judge of the international criminal court? Crazy to imagine that we are still baking in dependency on US providers in european societies, even though there is clear indications we should be doing the opposite?

It's interesting to see the learning/development styropyro documented with in videos. If you like this one, his other videos might be interesting too
jakoblorz··on How We Went All In on sqlc/pgx for Postgres and Go
For a full featured "go generate(d)" ORM try https://entgo.io/ Seems rather similar, with the main difference being that you define your schema in a specific go package, from which the ORM is generated. The nice thing is that you can import this package later again to reuse something like default values etc

The same here - I think templates would be a good fit!

jakoblorz··on SQLite is not a toy database
sqlite can actually be scaled quite high: 4mio qps (queries per second) https://blog.expensify.com/2018/01/08/scaling-sqlite-to-4m-q...
jakoblorz··on SQLite is not a toy database
Depending on the use case (SaaS offerings with per customer shards) you can actually scale sqlite quite high. Expensify scaled to 4 mio qps (queries per second) [1], so if one of your customers is exceeding that, you better be looking at another DBMS but below that - well sqlite is an option.

jakoblorz··on How to pay your rent with your open source project
I guess the problem is that once there is a paid CLI tool, some other dev will make a clone for his CV / GitHub where even the compiled binaries are free. Now people have to choose between the OG tool and maybe pay for it or use the mostly feature complete (or feature complete for a specific use case) free version. I would even go as far as the community will continuously switch to the free tool until the free tool has enough clout / traction to actually supersede or replace the OG tool.

Theory: At this point, tutorials which are consumed by the beginners in the field will select the free tool (because it has a bigger target audience, so better SEO), which makes this whole thing a generational thing? „Oh in the early days we had to pay for this, now we use XY which is newer and shinier and even free, thus better“

jakoblorz··on The Quiet Revolution of Animal Crossing
You are perfectly describing entropy or the fight against entropy more specifically.
jakoblorz··on The Quiet Revolution of Animal Crossing
The article is great until

    Instead, Animal Crossing is a political hypothesis about how a different kind of world might work—one with no losers. Millions of people already have spent hours in the game stewing on that idea since the coronavirus crisis began.
Is it though? There is compound interest in this world, I don‘t think we are able to make all lenders „Tom Nook“s.

jakoblorz··on Teens don't have a clue about IT? (2016)
That's so true. The question is if kids learn the tools to understand what computers do when needing self-study later.
jakoblorz··on Teens don't have a clue about IT? (2016)
Sound very supportive!

Let me add: The parents that brought their kids to these occasions may have a technically background also? Then these parents know how to use a computer and may have passed this knowledge on, at least the positive attitude towards knowing how it works. Children are interested in what their parents do after all. Children are trained in consuming computers/content on computers, so some (maybe even the majority of what I observed) may have a negative attitude towards learning what computers actually do. After all, consuming rewards them with joy, learning is meh...

jakoblorz··on ADHD, a Lifelong Struggle (2018)
He wrote an example argument to how one could argue depression away in the same way. He does not seem to encourage that kind of arguing, just showing how stupid the "5 out of x symptoms does not equal an illness" argument is.

jakoblorz··on BMW Connected Apps Protocol
I have a completely new Audi A4 2019. Unfortunately I have the same problem. Additionally, it takes ages to switch profile. When I select my profile, it loads 2-5min until an error pops up, promting me to select again. Then it takes like 5secs. What is wrong with IT culture at German car manufacturers?

Including the term "Go" is very misleading: Go also refers to a game. That might be why there was interest before the language was a thing.
