I too did a double take on that, I thought you’d left out “without”. It’s a hard balance huh? Perhaps the ideal way would be to have your main cabin with no real internet, and a 100 yard path to your tiny work cabin with internet. A physica

I’ll add “PictureThis” for identifying plants and trees. And a good stargazing app. I don’t generally like the idea of dragging tech into the enjoyment of nature, but being able to learn about the natural world so easily lights a fire of cu

I’d argue that learning some basics about how a web browser locates and communicates with a server is pretty basic, it’s the user experience. It’s how the pedal connects to a throttle cable which rotates a plate in the throttle body and all

+1 on this, it hits the right spot between being not too mathy/theoretical but going sufficiently deep for most engineers. It’s probably the right book for anyone who needs to learn more about crypto but isn’t planning to become a full

I’ve never heard this suggested before. Such a simple elegant solution I’m kinda embarrassed as a security engineer.

Too much feedback (especially when it comes to sharing your own thoughts) poisons the purity. It’s a cliche that every musicians best work is their early stuff. Once you become popular, famous, entangled in expectations and opinions, you lo

I see where you’re coming from, but I personally love blogging with zero concern for who reads it, how many likes it gets, or whether or not people want to give feedback. It prevents me from falling into a trap of crafting posts that have a

I see you’re building software which entirely relies on the major tech companies search engines. If people didn’t work there, you couldn’t do what you’re doing. Can these companies (like most companies) do better? Of course. Perhaps by work

Slippery slope isn’t automatically a fallacy. It’s a fallacy if you don’t articulate why A would lead to B. The government using an anti-CSAM filter to further restrict, say, copyright infringements has precedent, so could be a valid slippe

A lot of people have long believed in cryptos ability to encourage decentralization and equality. And to disassemble existing power structures which predominantly benefit a very small collection of people. It has wildly failed those goals i

Yes. And OpenWRT is hardly an improvement. Luckily, every other hop you traverse across the internet is untrustworthy too, so having a bad router shouldn’t worry you. Treat your home wifi like you treat Starbucks wifi.

Keep a list of “why can’t I X?” For example, “why can’t I hail a taxi from my phone?”. At some point, all the ingredients were there but it didn’t exist. Uber answered the question. Things that you wish existed, especially if they are a com

In practice, there’s often so much complexity that finding a path isn’t all that hard. Some examples: - abuse the logic flow and simply don’t submit the 2FA step - submit an empty 2FA token (I’ve seen it work) - get a signed transaction fro

My guess is that because blockchain is decentralized, in theory nobody could censor or block it, because nobody “controls” the blockchain. Compared with any modern social media site which is mutable and controlled by an organization who get
