Wait so the engineers doing novel work are ousted; you fire the engineer that had the skill set to produce the work in the first place? Surely this is creating a Stasi-like neighbo…

I agree with the principle here wholeheartedly. One addendum though is I think this isn't quite the same as the mud puddle test. The idea behind the mud puddle test is if you've fo…

This is something I have been wanting for nearly a decade. A lot of writing software isn't just implementing your logic and abstractions but actively thinking about how to organize…

It's worth considering that spying on DNS is a tremendous privacy leak, much more than "the most they can do" implies. An aware user might configure their system with DoH and use a…

I hadn't! I just gave it a shot and it seems sadly it suffers from the same problem. If I try and reply to an email received via SimpleLogin, it leaks my real email address (no opt…

Sure. I'm not sure what case you're trying to make. Lack of competition does not mean there is no place for criticism, if the service works for you by all means you should use them…

I am a current user of Proton about to search for a solution to move away from this company, I am quite disappointed in my experience with them in general. 1) Their mail import too…

This is a correct intuition yes. A program written in Cairo taking your balance (private) and a minimum collateral (public) and outputs a boolean for pass/fail, where the lender ca…

Paranoia about untrusted hardware is absolutely warranted but just to try and convince you of what this is trying to do. Imagine you have a file that you have never shown anyone, a…

I use Keybase as a daily driver and I really love the platform, but almost every other chat client I use when switching from Keybase feels butter smooth in comparison. These tools …

It makes me so happy to see more rewrite based languages. Another one that is extremely cool that I almost never see brought up is [pure][1][2]. [1]: https://agraef.github.io/pure-…

I really appreciate comments like this for the quick time save they offer. Thank you for this comment, it was the most useful in this post for me.

This is amazing. I can't believe how stunning some of these level's look on what seems to be very little processing. If the "Statistic's" panel is right for example, the entire Sha…

There's some super exciting stuff in this release, but what caught my eye was this: > Aynchronous Request Handling (#17) > > In 0.5, Rocket will migrate to the latest asynchronous …

Kind of a nice proof of his point! We're not used to the numbers, people would be far less likely to make the mistake with 1997.

One of the best intros to generational garbage collection is on chicken internals[1]. If you've ever wondered about GCs I thoroughly recommend giving the article a read, it's full …
