A new password manager. The core idea [1] is that there are some passwords that you only want to remember, never write or store, and yet be able to access even in the worst possible situation. I'm negating all these assumptions by creating an app. :) Jokes apart, most of the time you do want the comfort of an app or browser extension.

  @bascule addresses deterministic password managers as a category here: https://tonyarcieri.com/4-fatal-flaws-in-deterministic-password-managers https://tonyarcieri.com/4-fatal-flaws-in-deterministic-passw... Certainly you’ve considered these points, and I’m interested in hearing your responses to these points if you’re using this scheme yourself and want others to use it. I’m particularly interested in point 4 where, unlike traditional password managers like 1Password and Lastpass, where you need both the password and some form of data access, the leakage of my master password (say by a shoulder surfing security camera at any time) literally means every credential can be derived from scratch at any time.
  - ecesena 9y ago
    I read it indeed. Before I respond please let me say that this is just my opinion, and I'm totally happy if other people think differently. Also, the point that I wrote and I'd like to stress is that there are some passwords, the most critical ones (i.e. Google, Facebook, banks), that I never want to store and just remember. The reason is that I've found myself in situation where my devices aren't available and I have a urgent need to access these services. For all the other passwords I honestly don't care, deterministic or vault both have pros and cons, but in reality it doesn't really matter. First, I never experienced the same urgent need of access. Second, I could temp reset the password provided that I can access my gmail. On point 4 specifically I have two things to say. > With a traditional encrypted password vault scheme, we need two things to obtain site-specific passwords: the ciphertext of the password vault, and the master password. To me this is not a feature at all. I want exactly the opposite, meaning I don't want to depend on a file to retrieve my passwords, at least not the most critical ones. So, I guess this is a critical distinction. Are you ok with this dependency? Then definitely go for a vault. Ar you against? Then you can't use a vault. Second, and to your point. It's worth noting that, because you need the vault file, you probably have it replicated in multiple places or at least accessible by multiple devices. To me, this makes the probability to get access to your vault file higher than the probability to find out the master password. Or, said in another way, I wouldn't base the security of the system on the fact that the attacker can access the master password but not the vault file. To limit the attack surface you have to create multiple groups with different master passwords. The one that you type more often are the one more exposed, so you want to group sites with similar security risk and frequency of login (this is another thing that often seems amplified, I don't logout+login every day in all sites, I typically keep things logged in). I hope this replies to your question, happy to chat more.

Udemy tutorials for Unity, OpenGL and Corona SDK, as well as a ton of game development library code in C++ and Lua. I have a list of (very, stupid simple) games I want to MVP with it, starting with Pong and ending with something using OpenGL, which I'm just starting to teach myself. So, likely, nothing anyone is likely to care about, or that will make money, or an interesting Show HN thread once I manage to actually finish something.

I'm f-unemployed which means I can spend time doing interesting stuff meanwhile I drawn my savings. I'm doing mostly two projects: # 1: A game boy advance emulator in Rust - just for fun to learn the language and to implement a virtual machine. # 2: A cold storage secret manager with a James Bond feeling. In the case I die <everyone is gonna die anyways> I need to let people instructions, documents, bank ids, passwords and other stuff. So I designed a secret sharing mechanism which allows me split secrets and generate tokens for specific people. Once enough people gather and join their keys, they can unlock their specific secrets. If you want to understand a bit just go through the 1password design docs and Shamir secret sharing mechanism, although I had to improve the later to improve security. Once I gave some friends a piece of paper with a QR code with says "in case I die access this website", most of then got interested in having a service like this. I registered a domain but I'm still not confident enough to make it public. If you want to invest or discuss drop me a line on hn@eternity.is :P

  > I registered a domain but I'm still not confident enough to make it public. Honestly, this sounds like a far more productive way to burn through your savings and free time than a GBA emulator...

    Does everything have to be productive? Is the pursuit of joy not worthy in and of itself? Also, as a project for a CV, the complexity involved in emulating any system makes it a reasonable feat (if even partially successful).
    - krapp 9y ago
      >Is the pursuit of joy not worthy in and of itself? It is, but unless postit has a lot of savings, lives in a country with a robust social safety net, or is confident about finding employment without effort, they risk winding unemployed and broke. I know this from personal experience, although, of course, everyone's experience is different.

Been throwing around ideas for a personal database for a few months now. The idea now is a sort of personal wiki system where ideas can be collected in markdown formatted pages with internal and external links, as well as all of the other features you would expect from a wiki. This wiki acts as a backend for the larger project, which will be a personal assistant type service that will be able to read and write from this "database" of personal knowledge and organize deadlines, events, notes, documentation, and references. Im thinking of making this functionality happen through a MycroftAI plugin, so that you can query the database by voice, and give Mycroft the ability to make agendas and such on the fly based on your personal database. It's still in the early stages though, as Im still trying to figure out what kind of backend I want to use. I need something cross platform (at least Linux, windows, Android) to edit the database, as to be able to update it as I do research or take notes. Im currently leaning towards DokuWiki due to it's variety of formatting and the fact that it has an API built in, but I have a feeling it's going to get hacky.

Since HARC ended, I’ve been working on raising my baby so my wife can get back to her UX design career (not ideal, but it’s gone by much better than I expected). I’m also planning a pivot away from doing research in live programming and instead looking at dynamic mediums for thinking (a common HARC topic). The two topics are fairly related anyways (tight feedback loops, reduction in representational gulfs). I hope to grab some time from child rearing to work on a new demo soon.

It is a work in progress, but you're obviously welcome to explore it and the source code. I have a few other recent projects on that same domain, such as a raspberry pi camera network [1] and a p2p image sharing tool [2]. All just for fun and education (so far).

I am so far happy with the progress as it surfaces the most useful books for learning photography, and even thrifty items that you not even consider photogear that can improve your photography game. I am now working on a browser extension to help avoid procastination. Most extensions are after the fact feedback based. Like they tell you the usage patterns for last day, last week etc. I want to supplement that with an addon that works on the philosophy that prevention is better than cure. It is basically to scratch my own itch because I spend a significant amount of time reading. I have not posted it yet. Once it's done, I would be happy to have your feedback.

I'm working on a few things. 1.) a web analytics tool written in Elixir. I'm not sure if it will be used by anybody or if it will even make money if it is used but it is something that is helping me learn the OTP more as this is mostly backend service work and not a phoenix app. This will include status monitoring of links and resources to alert to any 404's as well as will include site analytics such as traffic but in a way that will prevent the need for putting up the cookie warning on your site. 2.) Job site for COBOL jobs. I'm waiting on approval from Indeed to gain access to their API to help monetize the site as well as provide much better information regarding the jobs. 3.) A self-published e-book on design patterns in C#

Since HARC ended, I’ve been working on raising my baby so my wife can get back to her UX design career (not ideal, but it’s gone by much better than I expected). I’m also planning a pivot away from doing research in live programming and instead looking at dynamic mediums for thinking (a common HARC topic). The two topics are fairly related anyways (tight feedback loops, reduction in representational gulfs). I hope to grab some time from child rearing to work on a new demo soon.

I'm building a 2d game engine in pure Javascript. http://moonbench.xyz/projects/workshop/axiom/stable/ http://moonbench.xyz/projects/workshop/axiom/stable/ WASD to move, click to shoot, mouse to aim. It has parallaxing backgrounds, sprites, collision detection and resolution, guns and pickups. It also supports game controllers in browser. It is a work in progress, but you're obviously welcome to explore it and the source code. I have a few other recent projects on that same domain, such as a raspberry pi camera network [1] and a p2p image sharing tool [2]. All just for fun and education (so far).

Been working on my project https://www.docsapp.io/ https://www.docsapp.io/ for more then one year and now growing slowly. Initially I work on this project to learn Scala + Play! Framework and now I turn it into real project with real customers. What I learnt from working on this project: 1. Time to market - Push your product to market and find customers ASAP to get real feedback. 2. Hosting - Build on cheap hosting provider with self setup that support HA. Machine fail all the time even you use expensive hosting (Cloud)

I have just completed https://www.camerasforpros.com https://www.camerasforpros.com a stackexchange and reddit reviews aggregator for photogear. I am so far happy with the progress as it surfaces the most useful books for learning photography, and even thrifty items that you not even consider photogear that can improve your photography game. I am now working on a browser extension to help avoid procastination. Most extensions are after the fact feedback based. Like they tell you the usage patterns for last day, last week etc. I want to supplement that with an addon that works on the philosophy that prevention is better than cure. It is basically to scratch my own itch because I spend a significant amount of time reading. I have not posted it yet. Once it's done, I would be happy to have your feedback.

I'm working on my habit formation/note-taking application: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations https://github.com/ioddly/meditations Specifically I'm trying to work up the nerve to go implement a decent search which I've been putting off for a while. And maybe get it cleaned up for some kind of actual release.

Writing up some mathematics I did while (currently) funemployed. It's about the Wobbly Table problem. I have two parts out of three up already, and am finishing up the third: https://haggainuchi.com/wobblytable.html https://haggainuchi.com/wobblytable.html Probably I won't try to publish it in traditional journals because I don't intend to get back into academia and anyway it's probably not novel enough. (It's a new proof — as far as I know — of an old result.)

I turned my investment property spreadsheet into an Angular 4 web app: https://gocashflowapp.com https://gocashflowapp.com It lets you run cashflow calculation on the go, and provides numeric keyboard since I hate typing in numbers on the full alphanumeric one. Launched 2 weeks ago and tweaking adwords campaign. I plan on turning it into a Progressive Web App, then add persistence using AWS Lambda and RDS.

I'm working on a few things. 1.) a web analytics tool written in Elixir. I'm not sure if it will be used by anybody or if it will even make money if it is used but it is something that is helping me learn the OTP more as this is mostly backend service work and not a phoenix app. This will include status monitoring of links and resources to alert to any 404's as well as will include site analytics such as traffic but in a way that will prevent the need for putting up the cookie warning on your site. 2.) Job site for COBOL jobs. I'm waiting on approval from Indeed to gain access to their API to help monetize the site as well as provide much better information regarding the jobs. 3.) A self-published e-book on design patterns in C#
