Being the go-to git guy for a whole project when everyone was new to it. Are you using it from the command line? I feel that helps a lot. Get a good log alias[1] and get hacking. I almost exclusively use the official CLI, with the exception

So did I, but my man page (open(2)) cast doubts: "The O_DIRECT flag on its own makes an effort to transfer data synchronously, but does not give the guarantees of the O_SYNC flag that data and necessary metadata are transferred.&qu

I use it for the O_DIRECT flag (oflag=direct). Better progress report, and I know when to pull the stick. Edit: Looks like O_SYNC (oflag=sync) is needed, too. Should update my 'sddd' alias.

I don't know how actual asymmetric KDFs work, but I was thinking more along the lines of secret -> private key -> public key, i.e. the public key doesn't contain information about the secret.

I think there is an impedance mismatch in how easy the game is to understand versus how the ZK proof part has required reading. Some (if not most) of the questions or comments here must sound silly to someone knowledged in the field. Anyway

What page are you talking about? All I see is a hard-to-read white-on-black quarter page of text that takes longer to scroll through than to read and animated GIFs.

Um, hasn't this already happened? [1] It's what saved us from the quasi-distopian tech age where we had to carry adapters for everything, if memory serves. This reads like an article from 10+ years ago, even the part where Apple o

I do software development in bursts (think productive weekdays + long weekends) and do all my updates in the downtimes. One day Snap decided to update Slack right before an important meeting. To a, yes, broken version. Another angle to this

Okay, so an IoT BBQ is a useful thing. How are we going to prevent every single useful thing from coming up with its own crappy, poorly-maintained application? Because obviously having open standards is not enough. So far the solution we&#x
