Write your own is a bad option. I have tried it and found that you end up spending lots of time maintaining a parser. I have found some success in my org using JSON with JSON Schema [1]. Combine with a json schema aware IDE like VS Code it

What do you mean by “high trust society”? The people trust the government agencies? I agree data collection can be positive. I think next they should start collecting any tweet, comment, or text file citizens write so they can see how good

I like the concept but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the security checks could be circumvented. my guess is the checks "is_china_country" and "is_risky_geo_location" can be trivially passed with a service like

What I see here is something that looks good on paper but does not seem very usable. What happens if you squeeze to hard or put to much weight on it? How will this glide on surfaces? I’ve been using the Evoluent VerticalMouse for a few year

The situation with npm package integrity is getting quite ridiculous. Just to clarify what domain did they let expire? Is this the email in the author field of package.json? So the attack vector is to take that over that domain, run an emai

I’ve been working remote long before COVID. One thing I found is that when going into the office I would walk a lot: to/from car/cafe/meeting rooms/office. With remote work in my own house I’m no more than 20 feet from a
