Yup, this is true in general, but this question was specifically about yubikey-agent. When configured properly, yubikey-agent completely replaces ssh-agent, so you're no longer forwarding your private keys, you're forwarding the a

Not the author of the article, but it allows you to use your yubikey wherever you would normally use agent forwarding. If I, for example. SSH to server foo, do some work, and then need to connect to server bar from server foo, I can use ssh

I see this framed as a touch vs. mouse debate often, and it's understandable since non-persistent scrollbars originated on smartphones, but I think even touch interfaces would benefit from persistent scrollbars. At my work, we recently

I really like the podcast model, but compared to the scale of YouTube, I'm not sure it can hold up. It's not just hosting, but search as well, for 500 hours of video per minute.

I think it's a really, really tough sell to move people off YouTube. The network effects are just too good. I might be projecting my preferences onto the masses here, but I suspect this is a common feeling. I've been watching quit

It could not be done peacefully. Any secession in the US will result in civil war. The two possible exceptions to this are Hawaii and Texas, since both have somewhat legitimate, but still legally controversial, justifications for secession.

> The States are within the power of the Court per the laws of the United States. The Courts just don’t have the power to make those laws; that’s what Congress is for. Right, correct. However, I think where we disagree is the assumption

That's all correct. There's no precedent for the court using using the "privileges or immunities" clause as a rationale for jurisdiction, and Roe was decided on the due process clause. The privileges or immunities clause

American here. I think it's important to not characterize judicial review in the Row case as lawmaking. Although lots of anti-abortion advocates criticized Roe as legislating from the bench, the court was actually doing was checking th

IANAL, but my understanding is that this is not clear-cut. Clean room implementations aren't strictly required by law, but the legal standard is how similar the new work is to the copyrighted work. If an employee reads open source code

Googling around to try to figure out why our experiences are different, I found that the requirement was only brought back in 2019 for second and third graders. It appears Texas stopped requiring it in the early 2000s, only to bring it back

This may be true in much of the USA, but I know from experience that it's not true in California and Texas, the two most populous states. It's still required in Texas, and many California schools continue to teach it, even though

I tend to see it from the opposite perspective. Physical looking buttons, borders, and always-visible controls were designs born from rigorous user testing in the 1980s and early 1990s. The push to flat design that really picked up steam ar

by StewardMcOy 5y ago
This is correct. I was using transactions as a standin for demand. As in, Stripe could increase the demand for transactions, which increases gas fees, thus enticing more miners to participate, increasing the hash rate.

I didn't mean to imply that NFTs were the biggest economic driver of ETH, but rather that they occupy the zeitgeist. There are systems that are successful because they are successful. If you look at Bitcoin, ETH, and a couple other alt

There are a few reasons I can think of. I'll be upfront about the iffiest of them. I philosophically don't like the notion of digital scarcity. I've blogged about it [1] before, but in short, capitalism is a pretty good syste

Yes, and it's definitely impressive, and I know this might seem like moving the goalposts, but the market cap of Beacon is very small compared to ETH Mainnet. More importantly, it's not _the_ ETH blockchain. Beacon may be working

I'm following the progress. I don't like estimating release dates for other peoples' work, but I wouldn't be surprised if your EOY estimate is correct. The biggest concern I have though, is that you can run as many tests

If that were the only energy used for blockchains, then that would definitely eliminate the environmental arguments against cryptocurrencies, but I doubt you could run large blockchains on only renewable spikes. Even then, if battery tech i

As I said in my original post, it would be great if that happened. I'm skeptical proof-of-stake will work at scale. If it does, great, but Stripe should have waited until then to support ETH, and not support Bitcoin or other chains cur
