They don't stop you from seeing the stars, but I find them very distracting. Makes the experience of looking up at the stars on a quiet night less peaceful, I find.

How many applications actually do, though? At most places I've worked it's common to integrate a schema migration tool (flyway, liquibase) that requires DDL, and I've never seen an…

Building an application that is immune to attack defeats all possible attack scenarios, yes. But no application is perfect or immune to all possible attacks, the concept of defense…

As explained in the article this wouldn't work, because changing your org means your stored hash is no longer valid (as the org is incorporated in the hmac), and you can't generate…

A pepper is just a salt that is "secret", i.e. not stored next to the hashes being salted. It indeed provides the desired defense-in-depth, in that a breach of the database does no…

It sounds like there is a story here, have you written about this somewhere?

How does this compare to FOKS ( https://foks.pub )? Do both projects accomplish similar goals? Edit: I see that this is primarily intended for federated social networks, but should…

I always thought the "made with love" taglines were inspired by the same Clay Shirky talk: https://youtu.be/Xe1TZaElTAs?si=3hUBnk8IXIzlXw4i

NPM and other Node.js package managers happily deduplicate dependencies are compatible within the specified version constraints. So if 3 different modules in your build specifies `…

Quick note: your website front page currently says > Our open source code has been audited by reputed cryptographers. I think you probably mean "reputable", as "reputed" inspires a…

From the article linked above: > To that, I can only respond that, in a properly configured shell like the one that comes by default with GoboLinux, typing /Programs takes the exac…

If that were the only point to an operating system, why doesn't Windows have a monopoly in all areas of computing? Surely there are other considerations beyond stability to be had …

I see what you mean, I guess the mix-up here is that we have different working definitions of "enforcement". For example, I would argue that Moxie's desire for unofficial clients t…

I also interpreted them that way.

It looks to me like those clients were removed due to trademark infringement (having "Signal" in their name), I don't think they were taken down because their code connects to OWS'…

I recently switched to `rg` after many years of using `ag`, and the fact that it properly handles `.gitignore` syntax makes my life much better.

Do you have a source for that? The article seems to contradict this, from what I understand Ketamine is used for cases of treatment-resistant depression, i.e. many kinds of medicat…

There are many ways macOS improves over Linux desktops, but file explorers is not one of the arguments I would have made. Finder is practically unusable.

That graph shows results for Chrome 55. According to https://v8.dev/blog/cost-of-javascript-2019 , parse times in Chrome have improved significantly over the years.

On the one hand, I understand that complete prohibition for drugs and alcohol just don't work. But I have a difficult time squaring that against my feelings towards tobacco, where …
