Thanks for the list, I took some actions based on it. Again, I'm not too concerned about my name or what comes up on Google or GitHub because they follow GDPR. Language Models are already as powerful as google searches in finding my na

Because of my home country naming standards, I have two unusual last names. There's no one else with the same name as me.

Sure, my username is part of my actual name. I can still wish for a modicum of privacy. If you find that so strange, read up on Scott Alexander[1], who deleted his entire blog when the New York Times threatened to publish the third and last

The username <-> full name association might be private. One reason is that I would not want to explain to a clueless employer why the first result for my real name is an account in Hacker News.

The Google results are almost entirely from places that I control, directly or indirectly. I can delete the repos, retract my papers, ask moderators to remove my comments. For more serious cases there are courts and laws. There's no re

It's one thing for someone to see my username on a gaming forum, search for it, find my github, pick a repo, click on the license, and find my name there. I'm ok with that, I feel like it's a high enough barrier for casual tr

I have a script that cURL's each line from "feeds.txt" every 3 minutes, and dumps the new links in "new.txt". Then there's a button on my dashboard that opens all of those items in new tabs at once (sometimes a

The exploit comes from a hacked server, a bad ad, social engineering, etc. As for the attack, imagine a browser that encrypts local storage with a system key. If I understand correctly, by storing different patterns of bits, Hertzbleed migh

A lot simpler than a certificate authority, actually. There's no need for hierarchy, x509, or anything of the sort. Take SQRL[1] for example. It's a login system where you scan a QR code with your phone, then your phone derives a

I sign up for a lot of services when I'm on vacation (local taxi, event and tour guides that now require apps, SIM card contracts, etc). Losing/breaking small electronics is a big risk when traveling, so I wouldn't use Yubike

That's a very good question and in my opinion the biggest flaw with almost all new 2FA/passwordless systems. The "best practice" is to get a second yubikey or store recovery codes on paper, but that requires keeping them

Give Warframe a try. It's a shooter MMO with both short missions (~2 to ~20 minutes) and some open world levels. The design is pretty unique, the developers really care about what they're doing, and because the vast majority of co

That's a valid scenario where time zone identifiers don't work well, but what's the alternative? A fixed offset is guaranteed to be wrong on DST switch, and that happens a lot more often than time zones splintering. I guess G

Thanks, I had never seen that before. But Concise Encoding did complicate them further by accepting commas as decimal separator.

Things I liked: - Versioning. - Time zone identifier instead of just a fixed offset (which are ambiguous for future events). - Native encoding of binary values. - Graph notation with support for labels. - Comments! - Trying to escape lookal
