I’ve never heard of anyone anywhere using such software. In Europe it might even be illegal? Could your POV be somewhat US-centric?

It would mean that somewhere there is a common root, which if extracted, can derive all keys for all sites. Why introduce such a risk when there’s no reason to do that?

> Bitwarden will do TOTP Not disputing this, but it requires a “pro” account which is $10 a year. No big deal to me, in fact I find it a great deal, but I think it’s fair to be clear about this as not to provide false expectations.

I remember back when I had Android, how amazed I was that I could just make Signal the new default messaging app, and don’t worry about who were Signal-users and who weren’t. It made it amazingly easy to get started yourself, and also conve

Nice move open-sourcing it. At the company I work for, we considered InboxSDK when making an Gmail-integrating extension. But at the time it was closed-source so we went with the open-source Gmail.js[1] instead. Now that InboxSDK is open-so

But writing Typescript in Typescript allowed the language-designers to dogfood the developer-experience of being a Typescript-developer. Just like MS eventually did with C# too. After the C#-compiler was reimplemented in C# (Roslyn), that’s

My takeaway from this post is that among the HN-crowd, FastMail is now big enough to warrant a front-page story. Maybe the days of the complete gmail mono-culture here is finally at an end?

Tell me. How many different kind of chargers and connectors did you have before the EU mandated everyone should use micro-usb (or something equally standardized)? And how many do you have now? Personally I had 1 charger per device I had, ea

If the Apple product-designers committee couldn't come up with such a decision, I'm very pleased that the EU instead felt like they could do this. Signed, happy iPhone owner.

All extensions are different. My extension (excluding NPM-dependencies) counts in at around 20k lines of TypeScript + various other resources. I think that counts as above average. Granted, the background-page/worker portion of it was

I don’t know about everyone else, but for me it depends on the scale of refactoring. If I myself think that receiving such a mixed PR would be troublesome to properly review, then the refactoring gets to be a PR of its own. If the changes a

I’m using RNNoise as a pipewire input filter on my Linux machines, but that’s very Linux-specific and a bit “hardcore” to setup. Nice to see it getting integrated into video meeting solutions, so more people can take advantage of this aweso

While I don’t see the need for this project myself, I appreciate how it is very specific hardware needs for both building and running it. That sort of upfront info can save a lot of work down the line. Props for putting in the effort.
