I believe I read that 1Password will allow unlocking with a hardware token, like a Yubikey. I wonder if they’ll use the PGP capabilities of the Yubikey to allow decryption.

I wonder if they’ll try to rebrand as “1Pass” or something similar.

Cozo (cozodb.org) is a new embedded graph database that has many available storage backends, including SQLite. It’s not a thin layer, though, if that’s what you’re looking for. Cozo has its own query system and uses a datalog-like query lan

This would be so good if the Confucius quotes were rewritten to be colloquial in modern English. As it is, “sounds old” is an easy way to decide.

I also use the Moonlander, and I’ve thought about using home-row arrow keys for navigation. I’m glad to hear this is working for you.

Do you use Vim or a modal editor? I’ve been considering switching to Colemak, but I can’t figure out how I’d get past the fact that hjkl would be in a different spot. I could change the shortcuts in software, but then it starts a cascade of

Both Kagi and OpenAI offer free limited access, and I believe both require an account to use the free tier.

Good point. “Checksum” is probably the more common word here. I updated my comment.

We should consider the following properties when evaluating ID formats and generation algorithms: 1. Private: you shouldn’t be able to gain information about the system using the IDs from an ID alone. E.g. document enumeration attacks like

I’ve been using Kagi for months. Before Kagi, I used DDG and would often have to switch to Google. With Kagi I almost never switch to a different search engine. Kagi does a great job returning results with less SEO spam. It’s fast and has

Behind that login wall is a free trial. Search is apparently pretty expensive, so I imagine they’re just trying to prevent spam.

Lyttle Lyton is definitely the better contest. It's easy to make writing bad when it's long and confusing. Perfectly crafting a brief opening sentence is so much harder. My all-time favorite was from 2018: > The wizard’s beard

That's incredible. I can't imagine the Framework people ever thought of this particular extension card use case. I wonder if something like this could sell on their third-party extension card store.

Another advantage of UUIDs is that they're more or less monotonically increasing over a medium-to-long time periods. This is very helpful for database insert performance.

This is one of the things Cuckoo filters do well: they need either one or two memory accesses per query, compared to a Bloom filter which needs k accesses (where k is typically greater than 5).
