Yes, I was just illustrating that we don't eat the riches, it's indeed not good examples of becoming rich in France (though the truth is our traditional "social elevator" is being broken more and more as free public scho

It's very possible to be very rich in France. It's not the result of random luck that both the richest man and the richest woman in the world were french not that long ago (Bernard Arnaud and Liliane Bettencourt). You should not b

The issue is not that Apple is not possible here, but more that it is possible there and we allow them to operate normally in Europe (though things are starting to change on this front, as more laws are targeting them). Corporations that ar

It's nearly impossible to compete with AWS on hosting. People host their stuff on AWS, it's so much easier to take the fully integrated solutions of AWS than a third party vendor that they have realistically no chance of competing

Valkey is under the Linux foundation umbrella, and I assume will be developed by the same people who were previously making redis. I could not find who is behind predict.

The trick is that people would use LLM to write very long and detailed bug reports :p

(note that you still have to tsc everything anyway in the CI to check the types, so when you ship TS files to production your CI does the hard work, but then doesn't finish the easy part it so your prod server has to do it? Why?)

Why would doing work at run time that can be done at build time be a good idea? I have a CI, I'd rather have it so the build work rather than delegating that to my production servers.

Absolutely, it's very convenient when working on a whiteboard :)

I have often seen the secret component of an asymmetric key pair referred as secret key as well. See libsodium for example. Maybe it's because curve/ed 25519 secrets are 32 random bytes unlike RSA keys which have specific structur

Yes, agreed. Having standalone native binary could also be one of the goal (yes the /native options works too) Personally I like Scala a lot, and I used it quite a lot as a hobby for 10+ years, but my impression is that it's dying

One important thing is that Rust is an expressive language that's pleasant to use, unlike Go :) that would explain why many side projects that could be in Go are actually in Rust even if they could have been done efficiently in Go too.

The ultrablue project I linked to solve exactly this problem, with TPM and a smartphone, but it's targeted at unlocking your laptop and uses Bluetooth to communicate with the smartphone for unlocking - and I don't want to have Blu

Question: when remotely unlock the boot disk via ssh, how do you make sure the boot has not been compromised and that you are not just sending the password to the bad guys? At some point I wanted to do something with utrablue [1], to work o

In French we don't have flammable, only _inflammable_ (meaning that it CAN catch fire). And the opposite is _ininflammable_ ^^ Something in flames is "enflammé" (there is the en- prefix ^^).

Yes exactly, I use pnpm as well, which is why I specically mentionned the registry, as I can absolutely see how npm the CLI tool can be improved indeed

It's not only E2EE. Let's say you would rather not know your users passwords (which I think it commonly agreed upon good security hygiene, at least for storage, but it makes sense that you wouldn't want to have them at all on

I wish they never allowed package to be published as ESM only which makes them unusable for many nodejs users. But I feel it's more a JS ecosystem issue, than an NPM issue.

I don't understand. It you don't want to use packages without types, cannot you do just that already? I guess if you have to use package without typing it's because no good alternative with typings exists, which I'm not

It's not even clear to me that what they are fixing need fixing. What's wrong with npm (the registry) already?

I wouldn't generalize too much. I think many people choose an iphone for many different reasons, and my guess is that your reason is probably not very common.

The good thing about open source apps is that they could really be distributed by any non profit that match whatever requirements non profits need to match to benefit from free distribution ^^

Doing cryptography in a webapp and saying the server doesn't know the secret doesn't work, as the crypto code comes from the server without any way for the user to check whether it has been tempered with our not.
