That's brilliant! I think that means it should also support reading the file in chunks, as it gets downloaded, automatically. I wonder how purging less important files is/could be handled through this? It would be good if there wa

I would also recommend KeepassXC. I personally store the password file in Dropbox allowing it to be used on all of my devices. I use a second KeePass file with a different password for storing 2FA backup codes. I open that so rarely that I

Perhaps nodes could seek only parts of files, a sub-set of the pieces that make up the full file, for the purpose of building reputation? It could offer some differentiation between users who are seeking the full file vs those that are just

I was thinking of something similar for applications. Just earlier today I needed a large dataset for some machine learning with Jupyter notebook in a git repo. I don't want to store the dataset in the git repo due to the size, and I d

This would prevent speeding (but stop overtaking) on motorways, which I argue are the roads that need the least speed control. Speeding is probably more harmful on all other roads where you have pedestrians, cyclists and complex road layout

In what way are Disposable Whonix VMs in Qubes OS more secure than Tails? I understand that the VM won't have access to the real IP address, but isn't there a possibility of breaking through the VM (while with Tails the entire sys

I agree in general that it would be useful in these situations. As someone who wears glasses, I find it impossible to run with them because of the movement or them just falling off. Are people who wear glasses able to run with them - am I d

Surely large companies should be capable of having some people that are innovating while others are focusing on competition?

I encountered this problem on iOS where you have no control. On Firefox I managed to solve it with a lot of effort of scrolling to get the images to load and carefully selecting how to clip the page. It kind of works. It did more to make me

It's pretty great (and unusual) that a TV show would result in doing something productive! They can be inspirational and give ideas. How did you go from watching the show to starting to build a VR headset? Was there any particular trig

The Matasano crypto challenges seem interesting and remind me of Project Euler. I used the latter to help learn Python a little, and I think the former would be even better for Rust!

The last time I tried atom a year ago (for the second time) it was so slow I had to write this to warn my future self: https://github.com/QasimK/my-setup/blob/master/atom.md (Nov 19 2016). This was on a

Only if capital is equally distributed, otherwise you end up with large numbers of people who cannot earn an income (or significant income) which I can only imagine negatively given how willing current holders of capital are to share their

I selected a successful example of an attempt at a sovereign wealth fund (in fact the only example that I know), and an example of a country that chose not to implement a sovereign wealth fund despite being the same situation. I'm not

If it’s inside a coffee shop or other physical locations the attempt is likely to be caught. Or, put the code inside a photo frame making it easier for staff to distinguish.

The evidence required for these kinds of studies is far greater than it might initially seem. The sheer number of other variables (environmental factors) makes it very easy to assign causal relationships incorrectly. I mean to say that I’m

The point is that if you do what you suggest, either maintaining your mothers’ devices becomes practically a full-time job where you are on call at all times (and you end up fully monitoring what she is doing even if you don’t want to know)

I also use Resilio Sync because it is one of the rare solutions here that provide an iOS client. The app is quite poor compared to the Dropbox app, you can just about use it to open, sync files both ways but that’s it. Also, you cannot sh
