I've really enjoyed watching various places transcribe the sound that DL1943 made after "Alright" there. I've seen "Uch", "Huff", "Phew", "Uew", and now "Woof"!

I worked at a place where people would write their own wrappers for Chef things, name them, and then refer to them by that name. "Dave, nobody has any idea what 'spork' is."

Should've called it "video encoder service". Then people could refer to VES and you'd still have no idea what it was.

Some of those have companies attached, which have interests in a unique, memorable, and protectable name. Others are definitely just cute though. That said, I have to object to including linkerd. It links services together, and it's a

I worked at a place that did the typical geek naming thing, with the Greek and Roman pantheon. They were cleverly chosen, so that you could remember that "mercury" was the messenger, and so on. But still, you couldn't tell an

What they successfully defended in court was a company called GAIL trying to get the domain without paying them for it.

One model that I picked up somewhere (but I don't remember where), which I teach to anyone willing to listen, is that there's four kinds of dates: - Estimates (I think it will take X long) - Targets (I would like to have it done b

I don't understand the disdain here in Woodworking News for Ikea furniture. (Business success and the craft of software development, or of user interface design, and so forth, are related, but not the same thing.)

Any NFC sticker should work. I used a non-writable one, with an iOS shortcut that calls the "unlock" URL, since I don't use HomeKit. For things that aren't security-related like a light, you can use a writable one, and w

I have an NFC dot on the doorframe and unlock my door by holding my phone up to it. It's definitely slower than using the keypad, and probably slower than getting out a key, but it's way more satisfying than either.

"Buckwheat", I think? It's common to make meditation cushions out of buckwheat hulls now, they're the perfect mix of firmness and formability.

Not a dumb question at all! At a basic level, ANC creates "anti-noise", a waveform 180º out of phase with the noise, and they cancel each other out. So the resulting waveform is much lower amplitude than the original. I don't

No, Perl 6 is a completely different language (now called Raku, because otherwise it sounds like a newer version of Perl 5, and never intended to be compatible with Perl 5). But because of the Perl 6 situation, even a change the size of the

Ah, we both went on a tangent. The password in question is to the twitterer's LastPass vault, and so a precomputed hash list would be of no use, and since it's an encryption key and not a hash, there is nothing to salt. I suppose

A _random_ 16-character password from all character types can't be brute-forced. A password made from common dictionary words, with numbers substituted in with l33tsp3ak, and an exclamation mark on the end, is a different story. Passwo

I'm no cryptoanalyst, but it seems to me that 1password's addition of the Secret Key, and encrypting all vault data, put them in a much better position than LastPass was. [1] https://blog.1password.com/what-the-sec

I found a third-party description[1], which someone in another forum linked to as evidence that notes inside items are encrypted. None of the other unencrypted fields feel as high-value as the URL field, although some of them are clearly va

A description of Lastpass's vault structure[1] suggests that notes inside entries were encrypted (index 4). I have no additional information about the veracity of that description though. [1] https://github.com/cfbao&#x

Was your answer about what LastPass does, or what 1Password does? The person you replied to was asking about 1Password.

This feels like it might've been a good opportunity for hashing.

I believe it was I/O bound, on old, failing SSDs. Even after migrating object storage out to DigitalOcean's S3-equivalent, Postgres couldn't keep up on the terrible disks.
