First, I wanted to say congratulations on having that Techcrunch experience! That is very cool :) I am white. I am often talking among my white colleagues who make statements like "I just want to work, I don't understand all the

Are you saying JS could modify the CSP policy or meta tag after page load? Suddenly I'm thinking it would be very cool to be able to right-click on a tab and say 'Take Tab Offline' Imagine if it was like a toggle on the tab i

I understand how dangerous it is to have news organizations operating in bad faith. Even if I recognize it and avoid their venue, my neighbors may not. In 2020, these online platforms can reach a billion+ people. Misleading statements, o

I would say morality is knowing right from wrong. Having conviction and holding to your principles would be integrity. It is admirable.

This is a really wonderful way to reframe your perspective.

Would be neat to do font recognition against available web fonts to try go find a match, then convert the web font to truetype or whatever format the pdf used, and re-embed the front.

I had not considered that it may have support for hardware accelerated crypto.

by blitmap 6y ago
That goes a long way, thank you :-) One of the other comments was saying OpenSSL probably has the best support for secure elements (hardware accelerated crypto?).

I don't have much familiarity with OpenSSL and crypto scares me away from reading the sources. I wish someone could give a full run-down of everything that is in OpenSSL, an overview. You hear all the time about it being bloated and

My naive understanding is that containers do not provide complete security. Also, I could see giving a user shell access within a container and still restricting what they do with SELinux.

Because of COVID19 my workplace has rushed right into Microsoft Teams. There's so much efficiency lost creating large-scale meetings and phone conferences. Coming from the land of IRC I've created a few teams with massive roster

I recently set up a dns-over-https (doh) proxy on my router to forward dns requests to 5 resolvers, that also use dnssec. I wish Firefox would expose the option from about:config in its user-friendly Preferences page so it will respect the

I think it does depend on how familiar the syntax feels to each individual. To me Coffeescript is the right balance. I absolutely love writing Literate Coffeescript. I am _not_ a fan of strictly typed languages but I do hope Coffeescript

I truly do not understand why so many jumped from Coffeescript. I still use it and still believe I can be more concise and expressive in Coffeescript. Typescript and ES2015 picked up a lot of wonderful things, but I find myself writing a

Agree! Wish I had the mental capacity to stay focused like this person :-)

I agree. This is the best one I've seen and I love that I can add/remove countries and switch between linear and log scale. Definitely add log-log. (Thank you, this is great!)

I see a 1440p display :( I have this currently.

by blitmap 6y ago
Even on a gaming laptop I'm usually playing at half-resolution, so I like 2160p or 2400p because for gaming that would be 1080 & 1200. Normally I'm running a text-dense setup where >1440p is very nice. :-)

I am an incredibly huge fan of Inkscape and the monumental efforts put forth by the developers of this amazing piece of software. I cannot do half of the things I've done in Inkscape that I've tried to do in Visio.

I hear what you're saying, but they pay people enough to follow a potential company-wide policy: Don't f-ck with user agents!

Obligatory, think-about-the-children. You make solid points, but so does the parent. ISPs have the capacity.

For the most part, at least we don't have to worry about forgotten, rogue IoT devices. The overriding mission has been to connect it to shitty online services. Watch these companies go out of business or deprecate APIs. This is very

I just want a hand-sized general-purpose tablet with a 5g modem I can plug in when I need a phone. I like the 'security by isolation' aspect of physically unplugging my cellular connectivity. Otherwise I piggyback on Google Voic

My absolutely largest issue with Firefox is how settings revert after updates without any notice. It is good that updates are frequent. It is bad that settings revert and defaults are not safe. I'll never touch Chrome again.

I've gone to a nearby Micro Center and I found I can accept and even readily enjoy the keyboard on the new Dell XPS 2-in-1 with a 3840x2400 display (16:10 / 8:5). It has very shallow, maglev keys. It takes getting used to but I
