How does this 3D model look on mobile?
There is this three.js demo: https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_animation_keyframes and I’m just wondering how it looks like on mobile… Do phones have enough memory to render these efficiently? Can the size of the model be expanded to the size of a small city? With optimizations, of course.
Anyway, I still believe Javascript is the future (it’s also the past and the present) and if we can agree to have augmented reality and hybrid virtual reality powered by js somehow, that’d be great.

How not to ask a newly registering user for a password
Found Tenet spies! These guys are moving backwards in time.
I find this astounding. I was just working on a workflow that deals with setting passwords, and we try to make passwords more complex, requiring special characters and a certain length. These guys (Fidelity, to be exact!) are moving backwards in time, restricting your password to only certain special characters and not others.
I see absolutely no good reason for this. If they are concerned with a sql injection attack, they need to solve that internally without sacrificing user experience.
Actually, after clicking through some of the other workflows on fidelity website, I couldn’t even click a “continue” button, and there was no error. Inspector said there is a 500 code response from the backend. Therefore I give Fidelity’s technical team a low rating of 2/5: not trustworthy. I understand that technology is hard, but also they have money to hire people, and they should really get on top of their own tech stack.
On naming (in software)
This is a piece of a conversation that took place elsewhere, a commentary that I think people might find generally useful – therefore, I’m posting it here.
Just for the record, the reason `withassets` is one word (I understand it’s not very English) is because (1) “with” is one syllable, and (2) it’s a single token.
On counting syllables: I prefer names that are short, while still being descriptive. Previously, I named something “more notes” when some reviewers favored “additional notes”. Generally, I think 2-3 syllables is a good length for a name. Good examples: facebook, instagram, google, sprokets. Bad examples: wikipedia, asset pipeline.
On lack of underscores: an underscore is safer than a dash (which is a mathematical operation), but it’s still a special character that separates tokens. I saw a client database where table names were just a-z letters, no capitalization, no other chars. While other readers ridiculed that choice, I found it interesting. `withassets` is a sub-environment so to say, and it’s one thing. It’s not separable into “with” and “assets”. If there is ever a need to have `development_withcache`, `development_withssl`, splitting environment name by underscore clearly gives you the major and minor parts. Introducing an underscore in the middle of a token may require more complex parsing.
Deepfakes?
They were made illegal fairly quickly. A few Reddit subreddits were shut down over digital privacy violations as soon as they were created. Anyway, how does one get onto the deep fake train?
Turns out this is the software suite that’s used “95% for the time” for deep fake creation: https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab
And here is a tutorial: https://mrdeepfakes.com/forums/thread-guide-deepfacelab-2-0-explained-and-tutorials-recommended
Of course, this is a reminder to myself as much as anything else, to go back to this and read up and do a trial run, when I have the time.
