Would be nice if they put some work into their Apple Watch app too. Especially after they made such a big deal out of it with that website.

For merges and other finicky git actions I’ve been increasingly turning to Atom instead of the commandline. I like how it auto-formats my commit messages to line wrap and how it ma…

Agreed. It always takes me several tries to update using the "Restart and Install" button.

Google does support U2F on Firefox. Just not for registering the key.

I just wish it wasn’t so tedious to version control Jupyter notebooks. I always try and clear the output before I stage it so I don’t have large binaries of plots or figures that w…

Is there a downside to including the actual unicode emoji versus the text version that needs to be rendered? I tend to go for the former.

I agree. I think it’s a mistake in the article. The author most likely saw that LastPass supports Yubikeys and thought that was the same as U2F?

I believe this can also be done in your ssh config file which would confer the added benefit of having the alias available to scp and rsync.

Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on this as I’ve previously used https://automeris.io/WebPlotDigitizer/ .

I'm glad that they have released support for the Web Authentication API. Hopefully I won't need to use Chrome for websites I choose to be more secure with. Although, with a quick l…

This is actually not recommended: And while the C.D.C. recommends washing all produce with water, including heads of lettuce, it does not recommend washing other forms of bagged le…

High performance computing (HPC) is a specific field. Fast communication between compute nodes is very important and you won't get that on GCP or AWS where you may get 10gbs at the…

If the person already knows markdown, Pandoc is a great option [0]. I find it really useful for creating pdfs. I haven't used it to create official documents that often, but I have…

cmd+f,"u2f" or "webauth" Nothing.. I wonder when they'll ever get to fully supporting u2f (probably via webauth) so I don't have to use Chrome to log into certain websites.

Firefox barely supports U2F. It works on Github and Dropbox, but doesn't work on sites like Vanguard and Google. Every time I do a Firefox update I do a search of the bug listing a…

Unfortunately, doesn't work with Google yet... It does work with Dropbox and Github though.

Thanks

You can make the tab bar and url bar smaller by going to the menu > customize > density > compact.

Even the scrolling on macOS is more smooth!

I noticed that too and that would definitely be a shame to have such a downgrade. I see how Dropbox is trying to diversify their prices based on features. But honestly, they should…

I believe the Feitan key mentioned in the article supports Bluetooth LE. If you go to their website it shows that they support iOS. https://www.ftsafe.com/products/FIDO/Multi#Compa…

This is good. Too bad it they don't have the new extension available yet. For the few minutes I had the Firefox beta it seemed pretty awesome. It actually was seeming to be competi…

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I would probably have switched to 1password once they raised their prices, but at least my employer pays for lastpass for me.

For people who use password managers, beware that lastpass's extension is not compatible with the new release. Found that out the hard way.
