Statistics by Freedman et al is a great introduction to statistics. It took me a year to fully read it but the exercises are fun, real world examples of applying statistical method…

Ha, great to hear. I always assumed they went back to windows as part of some deal as around the same time Microsoft opened a big HQ in Munich.

Great resource indeed, thanks! Too bad the latest one is 2 years old :(

Right! I remember now buying the book just to read the chapter about Anders. Was not disappointed. (for the record other "masterminds" were also interesting).

As someone that also used languages designed by Anders I'm also a huge fan of his work. Too bad there are just a few quality interviews with him: https://www.artima.com/intv/anders…

Yep. Although in my opinion Programming Rust [0] is better even though dated. The word goes that the 2nd edition will be out by the end of the year. [0]: https://www.amazon.com/Pro…

Nope, worse is that investors subtly want to extract value from them e.g. utilizing user data from identity server on vector.im or so. Even if they just "went Keybase" not having p…

Very cool. If you liked that check out their Sorcery series of games. I played them over and over for weeks. Highly addictive!

VC money mixed with open source software again. It didn't end well for Keybase. I hope Matrix has a monetization strategy. Edit: for people interested there are company docs at htt…

Yes, totally. I've also migrated to Linux after decades of working on Windows. Still, it's interesting development (nope, I won't be coming back).

It was some time when I read the explanation on how do they want to approach this but I guess the card identifier will no longer be needed (or all card ids will be stored). If you …

I worked on Windows for two decades and tried WSL1. Windows is not super annoying but as a developer all my tools were actually Linux native or cross platform so one day I just cut…

> The biggest pain is that I have to reconfigure when I switch yubikey. This is planned to be fixed in GnuPG 2.3.

It's not a big problem because tokens lock themselves after 3 tries so even if someone got your token they'd have to guess it. Having separate subkeys for each token is nice but wo…

Yeah I had the same experience using OpenPGP applet on the Yubikey both on Linux and Windows. It just works. Maybe it was a problem once but got improved with time?

I think you confused this with security.txt standard. WKD is not enumerable (unless explicitly configured like that) so the issue doesn't exist.

I think the proper solution would be 1) don't use forwarding unless necessary 2) setup touch-to-use on a Yubikey so even with your scenario the attacker couldn't just use the key (…

Yeah I always wonder how do they get the logo there. Is Pragli asking Facebook for permission to put their logo there?

Yeah maybe it should be more obvious but Mailvelope just adds end to end encryption to existing webmails (through extension overlay).
