I once had an idea to make a Morse code learning game, where the message would be emitted by a distant warship in a storm emitting flashes of light in your direction :) to add some emotion to the task :) but never really tried to execute on

Thanks! I imagine instead of via USB to hardware token, the query could theoretically go via my PC's Bluetooth to my phone?

Can somebody please explain to me why hardware tokens/U2F mitigate phishing whereas 2FA does not? My imagination fails to show me a mode of attack that would be relevant here...

Yes, a scriptable version would be of interest. Ideally, if there was a docker image I could just easily download and run on my dev machine (and please allow passing an ENV option to limit Java heap size), with a tutorial how to use it and

What are your expectations on when you might publish variants for some non-Mac platforms? Which code/modules specifically are platform-dependent? If it is only the GUI, can one already use the engine/JSON API (if available) on som

Can you try to list some example of what you have on your checklist? It'd help me understand your particular trouble, currently I don't have a good idea of it. Also, haven't read "the checklist manifesto", I underst

What do you mean by checklists? Like in an airplane pilot's safety checklists? If yes, then in my current company I've learnt to script the hell out of them (though not too early — only once you see how the typical pattern/

Curious: how could you pull out the link just now? Did you have it bookmarked somewhere for long time? Or did you see it somewhere recently?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I didn't play Prey; but then there's some chance I could have watched some playthrough on Youtube, and only see that happening to someone else. Don't know.

I have some faint kind of an impression that I've once played (?) some game (?), where if your character died, it woke up in some kind of "netherworld", and there was also something to do there. (I seem to recall being hugely

I still see more value in a slow but helpful app, than in a fast but nonexistent app, even as a user. Also, making it work first may help in prototyping, and I may even find out that the prototyped idea doesn't work, so I'll scrap
