Well that’s the thing. If I’m content to trust the client side hashing or encryption on the secrets why bother setting up my own server? Conversely, if there are nefarious things that can happen on the server to compromise the data without

Not knocking the project, which sounds cool, but the absolute last thing I want to self host is a password database exposed to the internet. Hard pass on that element. 1password used to have a peer to peer sync mode that I loved. No need fo

It seems reasonable to argue that fighting Google's browser monopoly justifies Mozilla helping enable the search monopoly for limited periods of time through default search agreements. Or you could reasonably argue that the default sea

I thought this was interesting: “ Perrin told me that, despite appearances, ‘Moxie leads from the front, and he just leads by doing. One of his favorite quotes is “The only secret is to begin.” If you want to get good at something or do som

No, I don't see any functional difference between the explanatory text for the argument and the explanatory text for the program. They could both accurately be called "help" or "description," but for some reason the

Better solution would be to clean up the argparse API. For example why is the explanatory text argument “description” when you call the parser constructor (argparse.ArgumentParser) but “help” when you call the argument constructor (parser.a

Sriram is a skilled interviewer. I like that the followups were so well connected to the responses.

It seems like 2) gets to the heart of what flatpak is and how it works. The argument in favor of traditional packaging over flatpak is that security vulns in dependencies get fixed for all packages at once. The architecture of flatpak all

I don’t know. I read the whole article and it seems the suggestions boil down to emacs needing to be more “modern” by defaulting to dark mode, making color theming easier, changing right click behavior, the menus, and changing the shortcuts

Your stance on whether ICE violates human rights of children is orthogonal to your stance on policies that ICE enforces and promulgates. It's not a political stance. In other words: You can be FOR the deportations and AGAINST treati

I’m saying people will use email in any decent sized group over any significant length of time and it is very good to encrypt that email by default. If you’re saying Signal is strictly more secure I agee 100%. It’s just not suitable for usi

Signal is great as an all in one solution if encrypted messaging is a hobby. It is also very good for mobile and encrypted occasional messages. If you try to actually build a secure environment within a group that tries to maximize security

Perhaps true for individual mail but some corporate mail is very active with it. It works quite well within groups. If you use it every day it’s a total non issue. The problem is people who set it up, forget about it, and finally get encryp

Those are the founders of YouTube. The Rogan podcast has a YouTube presence but started on UStream and (pre Spotify) appears to have earned money the way many other podcasts do (sponsorships read into the podcas ) and used all the usual dis

I’ve never seen it suggested before that Thiel bankrolled Rogan. Did Rogan get bankrolled at all? I always assumed he had plenty of money from his TV work to cover the fairly minimal costs of starting a podcast.

We have doctors telling us this mode of living is unhealthy. As parents, is our response going to be to try to veto that because it is a headache? I can handle getting sleepy an hour earlier. My kids are asleep by 9. Is it so much better fo

The doctors are saying that “depressing time of year” is better for our health and that staying up late in the summer hurts our sleep and safety. You could keep the same work and daycare hours and just get more sleep. Might actually be less

This post completely ignores that even safe investments are going to earn a return over 1% on wealth. So even a founder who liquidated all her stock and parked it in a prime money market fund would have earned 1.3% over the past year — and

This is a really great point. People are now more able to exercise location preferences separately from work preferences. This will allow people to leave who didn’t have that choice before and to enter the city (or re-enter) who did not h
