The 'point' of solutions in this space is that they allow password access across devices. They use end-to-end encryption and support self hosting, what else could they do?

> Since all of your data is fully encrypted before it ever leaves your device, only you have access to it. Not even the team at Bitwarden can read your data, even if we wanted to. …

This sounds amazing. I recently witnessed an intoxicated man collapse on the street in front of me, so I was first on scene and had to call our local version of 911 (I live in Aust…

Very nice, although I want to point out that this page contains many typos - you probably want to run a spell and grammar checker over your blog posts and your resume as many emplo…

I initially had rsi pains in my wrists and pinkies, after I recovered I switched to a Kinesis and was convinced it helped keep the rsi away for 2 years or so. Recently the pain cam…

Thanks for those words and that link. I like that way of thinking of it, I see it as just reusing the existing stack frame as a call in a tail call position doesn't need anything f…

Thanks, that document looks very impressive and will now sit at the top of my reading list :) Oddly following that link gives me a 404 ('The requested URL /~dyb/papers/3imp.pdf‎ …

I have been writing a scheme interpreter in c, and for me the most interesting aspect so far has been the level at which I am programming. At the beginning it was very traditional …

I have been working on a small r7rs scheme interperter [1] and it has been extremely educational. I had never used scheme previously but learning it from sicp [2] has been rather e…

Part 2 has been posted http://akaptur.github.io/blog/2013/11/15/introduction-to-the... But I still feel like both part 1 and part 2 are far too short; even if read together they pr…

Locally in git you have the HEAD@{n} notation to step back n steps through the reflog, so after a bad rebase a `git reset --hard HEAD@{1}` should be all you need.

I am not sure how easy it is to get money in/out to/of bitcoin from within Russia, at least in New Zealand it is generally a PITA and involves many hoops.

It could have a simple 'are you sure y/n' prompt, and you could then have a git config setting to disable this.

I was assuming after the fact as that information is not saved anywhere client side. Also I am not sure what he did to push to 150 remotes, and in that case this output would be mu…

After my first bad force push (silly git push default on an unfamiliar machine) I now 'enforce' the `git push remote from_branch:to_branch` syntax on myself when force pushing, I a…

The central repository is the only point that knows (with 100% certainty) which ref the branch was set to before the force push. Each distributed node only knows the ref the branch…

Git provides all the pieces, we just need to put them together in the right way. The issue is that a client may not have fetched for a while before performing the force push, so it…

In the case of git 'rewriting history' is not really the problem, and it leaves the old history intact (you cannot change git history, but you can create an alternative history). T…

It is possible that the current tech used in robotics will somehow form the basis for the work over the next 1000 years or so, either directly or via some tangential discovery by r…

Thank you for mentioning jsmn, it was very enjoyable to read through jsmn's code.

The fact it only uses tor when 'normal access' isn't available means for the majority of usage it isn't adding any privacy.

Scissor switches can be quite comfortable, and the macbook air has quite nice switches (IMO I like the thinkpad x1 carbon's a little better, but it is close), and the location of t…

Not quite, the 'Model M' actually refers to a collection of keyboards, some of which used rubber domes (see column 2 of [1] for a quick reference) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…

FWIW I type on a mechanical keyboard daily (cherry mx browns) but I am not a fan of the model m keys (buckling springs or rubber dome IIRC), they are very different in feeling. My …
