   Edit: responding to you is a bit of a moving target. I'll attempt to address your latest revision a bit later. Most of what this article is about concerns first-party caveats only, because (for better or worse) I was trying to keep the

   They don't out of the box form an ocap system but there's nothing preventing you from making one with them. That's something I've been meaning to explore more in-depth. Here's a good discussion on the differences be

   I used that imagery mostly because other preceding resources about Macaroons use macarons (there's even an unofficial logo[0] for macaroons that are actually macarons). But according to wikipedia[1], macarons are simply the French vari

   We use microservices at my workplace with a team of 5 and have since the beginning. From reading HN it seems like we may be the only small team to have benefitted from the approach? Some advantages that this article seems to ignore: - Even

   I use an ergodox and recommend it highly. Massdrop has drops of the "ergodox infinity" from time to time, which is assembled except for the keys (you'll need to solder them in yourself, but that's a lot less work than bu

   I've been evaluating the new Docker platform for a few months, and I definitely prefer it to anything else I've used. It fills a void that I was frustrated existed - there aren't, or at least weren't, any CI hosts that w

    I've recently settled on a mostly-free self-hosting platform: Jekyll + Github Pages + Google Domains + Kloudsec. Jekyll and Github Pages keeps the deployment simple and Google Domains has proven to be simple, cheap, and reliable. I tri

    I was slow to get into podcasts as well, but since I have a 1.5 hour commute I eventually became a big fan. Something key for me was to find podcasts that don't "work better as articles" as you say. There are many tech relate

    To me that seems an especially profound analysis. It aligns with my experience very well. I can't figure out a good way to use Twitter. Follow celebrities? Seems cool at first but as much as I like Steven Fry's work, his hourly mu

    There's a paper called "Capability Myths Demolished" that addresses this. There's an online version here[0], see "revoking access". Personally I'm fascinated by ocap systems and am always looking for ways

    Thanks for the detailed comparison! Sounds like you are doing some really interesting things and sandstorm. I've looked at Capnproto in the past but did not read through the documentation thoroughly enough to see the bits about capabil

    I've been working on getting a dev environment set up with docker over the weekend, and I finally have something I'm happy with. I don't have a nice blog post to show you, but the basic idea is: - Use the CoreOS Vagrantfile (
