Great news for a great team. 1Password makes a very solid product and the company genuinely helps improve the security ecosystem for their users (and, through working with browser vendors on things like extension security, all of us). Hope

The Hacker's Diet has helped me lose a good bit of weight over the years, but it is a somewhat simplistic model. Metabolism isn't quite as simple as CICO and can adjust over time to compensate for lowered metabolic rate. Herman

Fair, maybe it's always a matter of picking the trap you want :) If you are optimizing for 0->1, Python is great. But if you want code to live and evolve over time with multiple authors, or ever will care about runtime performance

Things like Cython are great until they aren't, so yes, I think of them as a stop gap (albeit a practical and useful one). Any time you change interpreters or the execution model, you risk compatibility challenges with third party lib

Everything has performance issues but Python is at least one, if not two, orders of magnitude off of compiled languages like C++, Rust, and Go (despite Go having a garbage collector). They have various usability tradeoffs but once you get

I have become increasingly convinced Python as a language is a "trap" for any use of notable scale, be the scale about number of developers, codebase size, or performance requirements. It's a great 0->1 language and great

This is a great write-up, not just for the ostensible goal (more privacy and security with maintainable infrastructure) but also because it lays out some reusable primitive for other “home lab” type projects. The next stop down this fun sli

The more interesting point about hash collisions is probably less about accidental clashes and more about intentional clashes. If the hashes in the CSAM database were known publicly, and people began generating intentional clashes with i

This is a recent and interesting video about "idle games". That is the classification of this kind of game. They were initially satirical in nature but eventually turned into sad self-satire as it "blossomed" into a re

The thesis of this post is roughly that nano, when configured, is enough of an editor for the author. Which is totally fine! People should be happy with their tools and not feel pressured by popularity to use what others use (vim, emacs b

I often find the headlines, and even stories about, crypto to be inscrutable to those looking in from the outside. The stories also seem to come from an ecosystem of sites I don't recognize so it's hard to even judge if it's

Someday some engineer working on these kinds of contracts will realize they can make a lot more money illegally by “accidentally” adding such bugs to the ecosystem then colluding with whoever exploits them. Actually it’s probably already ha
