Interesting question. Though, if you don't specifically need syncing, there are already apps for storing SSH keys in the Secure Enclave, such as Secretive: https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive

But why were they renamed from Dancing Bears to Goldbears? The name has always puzzled me, since I would expect it to refer to a yellow candy, when in fact yellow is only one of the multiple different colors of gummi bears mixed in the p

Personally I see it as a moral imperative to be honest, and that includes not cheating on tests. This isn’t rational in the sense of being a logical consequence of some other, more fundamental principle. But it’s also not irrational. It’

Every language has its own design features that end up influencing its generics system. Java has subtyping (in the form of class inheritance). Rust has lifetimes and linear types. Go has its ‘structurally typed’ interfaces (which are the

If blocks aren’t being mined fast enough, the difficulty level automatically goes down, resulting in a higher reward for the same hash rate. So in theory, processing bitcoin should never become uneconomic.

A try-lock operation can be useful when you need to hold multiple mutexes at once. In general, if two pieces of code lock the same two mutexes, they have to do so in the same order. If thread 1 locks mutex A and then mutex B, while thread

To be pedantic, the borrow checker actually doesn't impact semantics. The choice of which pointer type to use, e.g. a reference vs. Rc vs. Box, does impact semantics. And your broader point is well taken: since that choice affects sem

It is meaningfully different because, as the article says, comments are known to not be machine verified and thus to potentially be wrong. With type hints, they’re usually verified, but not always, so you’re more likely to trust them a

Is the situation really that different from how it used to be? At least for me personally, if I compare to around 2008 or so when I had Debian installed as the primary OS on a desktop PC and as a toy on my Mac laptop: > Modern laptops

Anticheat was still a thing in the old days, even when it was something the admins had to manually install (PunkBuster for some games, I think?) or at least not opt out of (VAC). So, at least at the time, many admins saw it as desirable de

The problem is that, if we assume that integers don’t have provenance, some far distant part of the code could guess the integer and do an int2ptr. If you can prove that nothing in the entire program could possibly do this for the entire l

Finger memory, or just a shell configured to run `git status` before every command, as some people have. And besides a Mercurial repo, it could also be a tarball or zip file… Quite a dangerous situation.

Amazon never claimed it didn’t knock off other sellers’ products. What it claimed is that it didn’t use private data about how well other sellers’ products sold to decide what to knock off – a claim that was apparently false.
