I believe things look a lot better if you stick to TLS 1.3 only, and drop support for almost all formats for certificates.

I agree that this is a potentially huge problem, but I wouldn't say that they had "no way"; thanks to git's distributed natured, surely if N developers got together and verified that their local hashes match up to a cert

I agree. But other times I'd also very much dislike being bound by "code" that the democratically elected lawmakers agree is buggy (buggy compared to their and the electorate's intentions).

> NYC for metropolitan New York airport Sure, but NYC isn't also a specific New York City airport (JFK, EWR, LGA). The problem here is that OSL is apparently used both for the metropolitan area and for one specific airport (in the

Indeed. And even though I consider myself a technical person through and through, I wouldn't want the law to work like that. We, as humans, are not capable of specifying society's functioning at that precision. We need the fuzzi

And they list OSL as "all airports around Oslo, Norway". That's not the case, OSL is one particular airport (the main one, Gardermoen). They correctly list the second airport as TRF.

Exactly. Give a simple coding task that the candidate does on their own time (but not one that's too complicated, it's rude to waste the time of people who aren't even working for you), and then, crucially , have them briefl

I think you're right. I'm just afraid that any solution here will be much more on the "stick" side than the "carrot" side that you propose.

Those sports memorabilia are at least traded on a market, and thus hold and retain that "investment". Not that sports memorabilia make much sense to me either, but at least you get something of proven value.

I find that part a hurdle, actually, despite loving Rust. I'm struggling with magic tools like wasm-pack that take over the build process. Cargo is fine – I know what Cargo does and how and why it calls rustc. But finding out what wasm

Certainly open source. The source is there. In the open. You're just not allowed to reuse it in the ways that we have come to expect from free software. So it's open, but not free, software.

My thinking is the same. That's why I, in addition to the second USB stick, also have a plain-text copy stored on paper in a safe. EC keys are even short enough that you don't have to involve a printer in the process.
