I'm not sure if I believe that, but I'd never trust anyone with bitcoin seeds. I'm not sure what the risk is for passwords I'd type in my browser anyway and that I could reset with my Gmail account.

I have to reset approximately one money related password every two years. Usually it takes a trip to a bank and might cost five euros. I think that's not unreasonable, but I'd love a system I could trust with everything I own.

That's pretty reasonable, but if I were a malicious actor looking to do something like this, I'd try to introduce different bugs at different times that combine to leak passwords. That would give plausible deniability, too. Not sa

Regarding point 3, my point really is that just a command-line program is not enough. I need a browser plugin or a keyboard emulator. That's one more piece of software, possibly from another vendor (see point 2). But yes, you're r

You could say I put a lot of trust in Google, as I use the built-in password manager in Chrome. My rationale is the following: 1. My browser vendor can access my browser passwords anyway. 2. It's better to trust fewer vendors and piece

Thanks for taking the time to answer! It's great to hear the system has good usability on multiple platforms once set up. I guess my problem has been trying to make things perfect at once, and learning about subkeys and revocation cert

I'd love to start using pass but I find managing gpg keys troubling (perhaps due to my lack of knowledge). Does your setup require copying the same key to each device? What would happen if someone got your gpg key? What would happen if

I had the same plan. Thanks for the link, nice to have a reference if I get stuck (as a Rust noob).

The answer to that question may come down to philosophy. Does it help your daily work to really understand things that are only slightly connected to what you are doing? I've only read a tiny bit of TAOCP but I believe reading it would

I never quite understood what people love about lifting but this comment makes me want to try it. Cycling for a long time tends to completely clear my mind, but I don't know the feeling of "learning to coordinate" that you&#x

The list of recommended mail clients had nothing for mobile. Is it because good ones don't exist? I'm a happy GMail (android+webmail) user because the usability is good enough and I don't need to install and configure stuff.

Depends on the jurisdiction. I think there's a clear separation of work time and free time in most of Europe. Here in Finland an employee can never be forced to work over their daily working time (usually 7.5h between 8-5); doing so is

It must have been very impressive in 2014, but nowadays DIY keyboards are a big thing. Of course most people just build a kit but designing and building isn't that hard with 3d printers, the QMK firmware and all. Disclaimer: I'm i

> 0..256?? Is this still 8-bits bytes?? In Rust a..b means the range a <= x < b, so yes, that is an 8-bit byte.

That seems expected but somehow it doesn't happen here in Helsinki. A set of stem, handlebar and brifters should come off with an allen key and a snip of the brake and gear cables, and would cost over $300 new even for a modest road bi

I'm not jealous about Amsterdam at all. People use beat-up bikes to avoid theft but still they get stolen. And finding a parking spot for your bike is horrible. Of course the city is very nice to ride in, with all the bike lanes and bi

Is the problem with open parking stealing bikes, stealing parts or breaking bikes? The obvious safety strategy is to have a bike of lesser value with better locks than what's available nearby. But I also ponder what it would be like to

Agreed on camera bodies and lenses, but in my view a 2011 car is still quite new. I guess this depends on the country, taxation etc. IMHO it makes sense to buy a used car at about 300 thousand kilometers. At that point it's cheap, it&#

We had a weird network issue in a production system, and because the interplay of different components was very difficult to debug I briefly investigated each component. This lead me to run Jersey (a JAX-RS implementation, ie. a REST librar

I don't like watching videos, but the list of milestones and timestamps is great. Text editors are one of those things that would be nice to know how to implement, but that never was high enough on my priority list. Looking at this, I

You people probably haven't used IBM Cloud (or Bluemix, as it used to be). We inherited one application there, and boy was life stressful. There were already plans to move elsewhere, and then one day our managed production database was

Do you consider learning a tool you won't use a waste of time? IMHO knowing what kinds of tools exist and how they are used for different tasks is enormously useful. Most software projects require me to create a set of tools to solve p

I know it's just an example, but someone who understands programming work would probably not be against learning another language or two and trying to get more interesting work. They may question whether the language will make you ha

Yes. Almost everything is subtly broken, and I realized my attempt would be broken too. Didn't feel like a fun hobby project once I realized that.

This is something I couldn't put into words but that was part of my thinking process. I personally would feel really bad if I knowingly hid this crucial bit of information during the process and then made it my requirement. Maybe in so

You make very good points, but unfortunately most people won't seriously consider APL as it's not a general-purpose language. It's just too alien to put much effort into. I do believe in the benefits of powerful notation. I a

Yes. IE9 was an improvement over IE8, which was a big improvement over IE7, which was a huge improvement over IE6. I don't have experience before that, but my understanding of history is that things were even worse before IE6.
