This is neat! Commenting to see my own.

I was able to enter a room I created without allowing microphone access.

I created a simple Firefox extension to skip Google’s search result redirect. I was motivated after the redirect page “hung” several times in one day, and I didn’t fully trust some…

This is a lot of fun! Definitely makes me miss my favorite Irish pub (located in the Midwest). Nit: I wish the traditional music cycled between a few different songs. What's provid…

I used this approach as part of a personal learning project. It ended up working very well because I was using Mongo, so I could just use $graphLookup with an index on the next ID.…

Hello! My team is currently creating microservices written in .NET Core. A lot of my teammates don't commit appsettings in their .NET Core microservices, opting instead to simply c…

Plenty of reasons. The most obvious use that comes to mind is to avert government censorship. Then there are whistleblowers. There are more reasons to desire anonymity than illegal…

Nice tool, I'd love to try it. Is your sign-up broken? It just comes back with an empty red alert.

You're right - in my experience, most programmers have it pretty good. What I've noticed is that stress/overworking comes when the team is pressured for time. As a mental, as oppos…

I'm curious how requirements are determined at these huge tech companies. Do the programmers have any weight as to which features are implemented, or are requirements typically han…

The heat has to go somewhere. If your machine is feeling hot, the heat is escaping. Trying to prevent that by using a less conductive material may not end well for your laptop.

Their Series A raised $10.8M back in 2015: https://keybase.io/blog/2015-07-15/keybase-raises-series-a

I have looked into this in the past and came to the same conclusion. Essentially, the "password" sent to the website is the client-side salted/hashed version of the user's actual p…

Do you mean better, faster, _and_ cheaper in a single device? Honestly curious, what do you recommend over Raspberry Pi?

Not hugely significant, but a company I worked for before our unit was purchased used to offer a health program that, among other things, offered 10% off "healthy" foods at Walmart…

My advice would be to choose your battles, because you can't win them all. There are many ways to accomplish most tasks and sometimes good enough is good enough. That being said, i…

I use KBFS and encrypted Git almost every day. I've never needed the identity proofs. The teams/chat features are great but I rarely use those either. Maybe when adoption increases…

It's not particularly intellectual, but The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey has definitely changed my life for the better. I wish I had read it years ago.

I hear that. I was once employed as the sole full time internal webapp developer for a local company with 600-ish employees to serve. Over time, more applications == more code == m…

As a developer, what are some of the most impactful problems you or your peers face? These could be technical or non-technical, work-related or not.

I recently read about Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme, created by Adi Shamir, one of the creators of RSA. I've been fascinated by its elegance and simplicity. https://en.wikipedia.o…

I frequently find myself encountering this problem when I feel like writing. Ideas to write about would be great - I've never been a great free-writer.
