Very cool looking game! What's the purpose of the node server in the code (as opposed to just opening the HTML document in a browser)? Do you have plans to use websockets or something to add multiplayer?

This problem has been on my mind for some time now. Requiring some kind of unique identifier seems like a difficult thing to sell to users, but otherwise we may be at the mercy of bots. And it's not the scammers and normal spammers usi

Maybe too expensive for something like 4chan. But those fees might make sense if you were wanting to use the blockchain as a form of proof or tamper-resistance. For instance, how Keybase uses the bitcoin blockchain: https://keyba

I've been taken aback during interviews and client conversations when they brought up details about projects I'd posted on my off time. There are people who look at that stuff.

I agree. But if the goal was for it to be universal enough to work anywhere without the password manager installed then these crypto primitives would work. You'd still be relying on the strength of those primitives and your secret key

If you're going to use an algorithm (which seems like a bad idea), wouldn't it be safer to keep a large secret key and then hmac or hash(key + service name) as your password?

This just in: FBI is annoyed by how easy it is for criminals to use paper shredders, wear hats around cameras, and whisper in rooms with microphones. But that doesn't mean these things should be stopped.

Neat! As a test I installed nano and python, then used pip to install flask, wrote a web application from nano and ran it from my phone... Opened it from my laptop and everything works like you'd expect. Sometimes I forget that these d

Well it does have minerals, salts, and amino acids! Joke aside, if it went into being fertilizer which then feeds plants which we eat... The plants are just playing the role of the processing mechanism for recycling those chemicals...

Social networks came in with their own version of what a "feed" is and then Push started to rise. So the old model of on-request feeds was probably on the downfall anyway.

I think television and video games can be just as addictive. Edit: And video games don't enable me to call my parents, look up a recipe, or check a map.

Yeah, that's one of the only things I still use Python2 for. But it seems that they have a v2 in the works that's supposed to support Python3: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/tree/v2 And there&#x27

Do tell... I've looked through the source of several common RSA keygen implementations and noticed that there usually aren't many sanity checks afterwards. But I've never really thought about what can go wrong there (by rando

If you could introduce a bias in implementations to generate primes of the form more often than random then it could be useful, right? I'm not wearing my tin foil hat so I realize that in order to do that in the first place you'd

Not every key generated with the recently discovered ROCA vulnerability was easily factored either. But there are lots of keys out there... And an important key might be one of the vulnerable ones. Any kind of weakness like this is bad. Esp

Ah, thanks. That's exactly what I was wondering. It's still interesting though.

To me, if a program is letting me focus on the task at hand and is hiding everything else then that program is doing things correctly. Someone who wants to send a secure message doesn't care how the program works as long as they can tr
