Two questions: 1. What would happen in the event when the private key was leaked? Is there any scenario for invalidating or rotating keys? 2. For verifying the proof file, it seems like the URL for obtaining the signature key[1] is read dir

For anyone (like me) wondering why PDFs would need to support JavaScript in the first place, the main motivation/use-case appears to be validation and interactivity of embedded forms.

I’d probably try to disable them all, and see whether that has any effect in the activity monitor. If so, I’d turn them on one after the other to identify which one is the culprit.

Although not exactly ultra-wide, on my 27" screen, the font-size with maximised window (2500px horizontally) would compute to ~22px for the submitted website. While that’s noticeable bigger compared to a narrow view port, I’m not sure

Another – presumably coincidental – issue with images [1] and [2] is that there is a person missing. I assume that’s not related to skin colour, but to me it adds to the slightly irritating effect of how the resulting images may be disconne

150K worth of JS doesn’t seem too bad in my eyes, considering the level of interactivity here (not just for the filtering, but also for the input dialog). Almost half of the 150K is actual data, which is embedded into the JS file directly.

You might not consciously observe how your light switch transitions to the opposite position, but I’d argue that most people still have an immediate and intuitive understanding of how both end-states of a light switch are related to them ap

Apart from the dedicated domain, is there any other GitHub-specific functionality? Or is this basically “just” a GitHub-themed landing page to an otherwise generic link shortening service?

It’s not possible to reserve terms which are made up from generic words. That’s neither true in trademark law (for good reason), nor anywhere else. Saying “free software” or “open-source software” doesn’t require any upfront definition, bot

One additional feedback, for consideration: to me, your Pricing page[1] doesn’t make it sufficiently clear that the “Starter” plan may incur costs at all (let alone in this ballpark). It’s now more apparent when looking at it in hindsight,

I’d tend to agree that using the browser history doesn’t feel like the right solution for this kind of undo/redo functionality. In my mind, undo/redo actions are too fine-granular, and pollute the history, which can be very inconv

Yeah, the intro is a bit of a stretch, and the article would be better off without it. They should have included a video instead. The rest of the text is surprisingly informative, though.

Isn’t a/b/c == a/(b*c), also in a pedantic mathematical sense? I at least would consider a/b/c to be common (enough) and understandable.
