   That sounds like a fun hack, thanks! Wonder if it will work, will play with it later. :) Do any clients have it on by default? (If you'd like to take my word for it, I have no intention on doing this on chat.shazow.net)

   A not-so-subtle reminder to people who are "curious" and want to break things: It's open source. Install it locally and break it to your heart's content. If you're flooding the public server, you're just ruinin

   Yup, that's how most of these curses libraries work. It's a lot of work doing layout with straight up escape sequences, though.

   Nah, that's just the server restarting. :) There's a bug where it hangs sometimes, haven't quite figured it out.

   > Can you hook a full ncurses up to this? Yup! Any ncurses thing should work great. I couldn't find a golang curses lib that doesn't hardcode to stdout except for crypto/ssh/terminal, but it's fairly limited. &gt

    Any reason why it makes sense to ask for two different passwords? If we're going to trust the Javascript, then does it make sense to derive the server-side password from the same client-side password?

    I'll throw urllib3 into the hat: https://github.com/shazow/urllib3 -> https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/ There are tons of use cases and recipes littered in the Github issues and StackOverflow an

    I am part of a Nextdoor neighbourhood in a Bay Area suburb with 302 neighbours (216 of 423 households). It's very handy. The thing that surprised me most is how publicly abrasive people can be when they're using their Real Names w

    Bitcoin does precisely one thing (a big ledger), on top of which people are trying to bootstrap many things (currency, asset exchange, smart contracts, notary, other things). Bitcoin is a distributed trustless ledger tracking inputs and out

    I read you saying it's quite complicated, but everything you said feels reasonably simple to me. Maybe I've been staring at these challenges for too long? Maybe in a few years everyone will feel it's reasonably simple? Or may

    It's really not as complicated as you could make it seem. Your Bitcoins just have two states: Spendable and not spendable. Spendable coins are ones that you can go ahead and make a transaction with right now. Unspendable coins are ones

    For much of the time I've been employed full-time (you can find my resume in the footer of http://shazow.net/ ), which made maintaining open source stuff that much harder. I've saved up money and reduced expenses t

    I'd advise you reach out to the maintainers of some of your favourite projects and ask for their help in finding good candidates for grants. Or do what Stripe did and put out a call for applications/proposals. Another thing you co

    All code metrics are vanity metrics, but they're fun to look at. If you want a deep sense of what was changed, take a look at https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/blob/master/CHANGES.rst and the indivi

    Or even worse: When a barista takes my name for my order, I say "Andrey." Usually they'll spell it "Andre" but whatever. Five minutes later, more often than not, they call out "Aubrey." That's reading

    Correct. Same way Github has access to everybody's source code, or Google has access to everyone's emails, etc.

    +1. In fact, it would probably be better if the whole idea of Tor was further removed from prosocial values. This will help disassociate the idea that contributing to and using Tor is for people who have something to hide, and turn it into
