Some years ago I thought it would be interesting to develop a tool to make a python script automatically install its own dependencies (like uvx in the article), but without requiri…

Helping improve the spec and all is great, but being 100% honest, as a user, I would rather have a type checker I can bend to my needs. As you said, some code patterns in a dynamic…

This was brought up in one of the previous discussion on HN [1], and people found out that indeed this project seem to have copied the original coreutils. There were some name of v…

More than the limit, what seems absurd to me is that businesses seem to be allowed to refuse cash as a form of payment. I am reading the translated version of the article, and it s…

> there's never place to discuss the elephant in the room, that the whole game is rigged. The backdoor massive, right in front of us, and nobody's doing anything to fix it I am tem…

Let's recap what is happening here, because we are going a bit off-track with this discussion. My original post was about the fact that I am tired of media outlets making borderlin…

> But it is living proof Telegram authors don't have the know-how on how to implement secure protocols I strongly disagree with this claim. Can you back your claim with some eviden…

I did not claim Telegram to be secure. It has nothing to do with what I said. Moreover, saying that something "is secure" does not make too much sense, without specifying secure ag…

The goal of modernizing coreutils is great, and doing it in rust is even better. However, it makes me very sad that this is licensed under the MIT licence. Being licensed under the…

Thanks for this clarification. I guess I had a wrong assumption about Signal then! What happened to me is that I lost my phone, so I did not have an Android device to re-install Si…

Hi, thank you! > I'm willing to forgo cloud backups and some usability to have default encryption for all my conversations, which I think is something Signal provides. Indeed, it d…

Why do you think it is ignored? Feel free to suggest a way to improve the article, if you want :) In my opinion this is partially addresses in the threat modelling section, where I…

Yeah, I thought the post was already too long to also talk about Signal! My opinion on Signal is it should definitely be preferred if one cares about security more than usability. …

It's a shame that every time that Telegram is mentioned, Signal advocates feels the need to let everybody else know how superior Signal is supposed to be compared to everything els…

However they cannot use data that allows to identify an user (such as an IP address) in their analytics, unless the user has granted them explicit consent to use that data for the …
