It really did gloss over the negative parts and let Mozilla off way too easily. Abandoning extensions is a really huge mistake that I believe will turn away as many users as improved performance will attract or retain. I don't think Mozilla will remain relevant for more than a year or two at this point.

I kinda dig the current CSS in JSX hype.

I think I never have been that fast building UIs.

I get the convenience of writing inline-styles like HTML attributes and not a style string and in the background it gets compiled to CSS classes, with deduplication and everything.

Since Flexbox and CSS-Grid, most CSS frameworks I used in the past also don't have much value for me anymore.

As a former System's Librarian YES! This is such a racket. You sell new Journals to libraries and you made your living just doing that. Some of the Journals are hundreds of dollars to have in print. Libraries then put the old journals in behind the new one for about 18 or so copies. The older ones get stored in boxes and collect dust. Occasionally (10 out of a thousand students will come in and ask for help to find a journal. That was all.

As Journals came online they solved the storage and accessibility problems for the library. $30,000 a year to save your library team all the work and increase accessibility is AWESOME sales pitch. Within 3 years our $30,000 bill became $90,000 and today my old library has 3 less librarians due to the cost of digital access (Or so I am told). Digital Access = free money that they never got till now. Also many Journals are not included in the digital access for 12 to 18 months so that their print business stayed at the same level and so did the storage for libraries.

To think of all that and the fact that most of the Journals's research has direct use of tax payer funds but not give tax payer access is crazy. Also knowledge is power and all our top knowledge is behind closed doors. Drove me nuts.

Let's list the pros and cons of each libraries (let's assume we trust all 3 libraries):

Monocypher vs TweetNaCl:

Good:
Monocypher uses more modern primitives (Blake2b, Chacha20)
Monocypher provides password derivation
Monocypher is a bit easier to use
Monocypher is much faster
Bad:
Monocypher is twice as big
Conclusion:
Monocypher utterly outclasses TweetNaCl.

Monocypher vs Libsodium:

Good:
Monocypher is much smaller
Monocypher is easier to deploy
Monocypher is a bit easier to use
Bad:
Monocypher is a bit slower (except Argon2i, which is faster)
Conclusion:
If performance matters, use NaCl. Otherwise, use Monocypher.

Nothing new, you say?

Another question about the "air-gap"

I maybe am not understanding some part of the Ethereum protocol that is important to knowing how this can work...

If the wallet is stored on the device, and the device can only receive payment requests over BLE and nothing else, and the device does not store the block chain, and the device does not have Wi-Fi to go out and ask for information about the block chain state, how can the device know its own balance, or know whether it has sufficient funds to sign a transaction?

(Can it sign transactions that it can not immediately fulfill from the stored balances? Can they be used as IOUs?)

There is so much cool stuff in this article. The engineers stuck in the 70s with modern tools to aid them, but that only gets them so far. The love and dedication to this spacecraft. These engineers believe in the mission of space so deeply they married themselves to Voyager. A marriage more substantial than many real marriages. Just thinking about this dedication and how space exploration is, in my opinion, one of the few ways we can truly advance as a species beyond our ruts here on Earth gave me chills. There is something, existential, poetic, and sad about the lonely work these engineers have done for so long.

If you didn't read this article the portraits of the engineers and snapshots of the lives is moving.

> In Germany contracts are more sparse and I don't think it's easy to pull off a full time contracting there. The rates are also quite a bit lower (at least from emails I get from time to time about contracts in Netherlands & Germany) so there's that as well.

A rule of thumb in Germany: If you earn double the amount as a contractor as you would as an employee this is about the same standard of living. In other words: If you don't really earn a lot more as a contractor than as an employee, it is not worth the hazzle.

Another problem for contracting are the laws concerning Scheinselbständigkeit (fictitious self-employment) - cf. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheinselbst%C3%A4ndigkeit - which make it really difficult for companies to contract someone for a longer time.

I saw another diagram of the device where it has two buttons -- one to accept (pay) and the other appears to be a power cutoff switch. I'm thinking that power cutoff will be the payment rejection button.

> Also no idea how to add currency to the wallet

If you get past the crowdfunding page, you are assigned a *.firefly.eth "ENS" name. This corresponds to a wallet address. So, the same way you add currency to any other wallet. (How does it know that it has an available balance, though...)
Aaah, okay, I actually do remember about that worked-key now. That makes sense.

But then the problem that I have with that is this worked-key is a lot less secure than my PGP key on a hardware token. What I'd like would be for keybase to make those keys depend on my PGP key, for instance by decrypting them at the beginning of each session.

I'm not sure I get the point of these device keys to be honest. Why not simply generate a new key every time one is needed, and then sign and encrypt it with my PGP key?

After all that's basically how basic PGP encryption works, it's encrypted with some symmetric cipher using a random key and then this key is encrypted with the assymetric cipher (sever times if there are several recipients). Nobody has to worry about those "intermediate" throw-away keys, they're just stored alongside the ciphertext.

I'm on the market for a new laptop. Not a fan of the touchbar, and Surface only goes to 512gb.

And turns out those two are the only professional-ish laptops you can actually see in stores. At least here in Vancouver, the only things stocked at Best Buy etc are Mega Gigatron Gaming Ultra XXXL-sized laptops, underpowered $299 laptops for your mom, and super svelte Macbook Air copies.

I know for a fact there's product lines such as the Dell XPS , the HP Elitebook, i7 ultrabooks from Toshiba, Samsung etc, but nobody wants to sell them.

Well, except Amazon, but buying a laptop from the internet feels as wrong as buying shoes from the internet. What if the ergonomics are all wrong for me?

When I was backpacking, I entered Germany without a definite exit date and with no onward travel booked. Upon hearing this, the immigration official gave me a hard stare, and let me sweat for what felt like ages. He then cracked a smile and told me to visit the Foreigners Office if I wanted to stay for longer, or look for work. While I doubt that's the normal experience, including finding an immigration official with a sense of humour, I found Germany to be pretty flexible in this regard.

But, for me, another amazing thing about these long term projects is the sheer amount of knowledge that needs to be maintained and passed on to new people, over the course of several decades. To pull it off, this need of knowledge management and transfer must be so deeply engraved in the culture of the organization. How do they do it in this day and age of "FAQs", "Forums" and "Helpdesks"? :)

In all seriousness, what do you do to maintain "knowledge" in your organization?

CSS appeared after native apps already had layout/geometry managers that understood how to deal with grids, fixed layouts, changing display sizes, etc. Most of them I've used have some way of expressing layout semantics that CSS failed to do until very recently.

Anecdotally, it seems that new files (or new revisions) are downloaded on first use.

If you have sufficient local space and use KBFS only on a single machine, then you'll never wait. If you modify a file every time you open it, and do so on alternate machines, you'll wait every time.
I'm the exception. :-)

Seriously though, Monocypher is getting getting past the "own crypto" stage at this point.

We just learned to be paranoid about being pranked, it wasn't some pseudo bullying outlet. If anything it taught us that people can hack your stuff, so don't be an idiot.

How often do you go to a computer lab or library and see that somebody forgot to log out of their Facebook or Gmail account or something?

No, the simplified code is the Java 8 code. You are just clinging to the archaic syntax that you are used to.

My impression from reading their announcements before the fork is that it had always been their intention, if the new coin had any value after the fork, to later allow all users to withdraw their "cloned" balance. The transaction freeze around the fork plays into this: not only it protects them against any instability, but it also is a convenient time to snapshot everyone's balance, and to keep a copy of the private keys for future use. They probably planned the balance and keys snapshot since before the first announcement, but just didn't want to promise anything (remember that for instance the fork originally didn't have strong replay protection, which was added just a few days before the fork).

Since the fork didn't die immediately, they are going ahead with the "allow everyone to transfer their BCH out" plan. Had it died, they probably wouldn't bother.

I think most people here fail to realize how correct your comment is. The only security you get from visiting a TOR hidden service is from knowing exactly what is its URL.

You can't trust the URL you see from a web engine.

The reason is that the onion address of a TOR hidden service is actually a hash of its public key. The TLS connection you have with the TOR service is only verified by you knowing the exact URL you've typed in your TOR browser.

Without this you could be visiting a fake onion address which would be man-in-the-middling you and the real onion address you're trying to visit.

Probably this is the real purpose of the advertised search engine.

As someone associated with this project, I can inform you that the reason the words "blockchain enabled" are used is because the Share and Charge platform enables peer-to-peer payments between car charger and private (not commercial) charging pole owner via the blockchain.

GitHub metrics and measuring success
> Have the library functions been tested (or proved) to be constant time ?

Just check the absence of secret dependent branches, and secret dependent array indices, it's pretty simple.

> what make the difference in number of line of codes with libsodium ?

Less lines means less need for eyeballs, tests, and audits. Libraries the size of TweetNaCl (and, to a lesser extent, Monocypher), can be subjected to very rigorous audits, and increase confidence accordingly.

> what do these lines of of libsodium that your lib doesn't have contain ?

I can see 3 sources: redundant primitives (Monocypher is not redundant), alternate implementation (Monocypher sticks to portable C), and verbose implementations (Monocypher keeps it simple).

> Also, is this a fair metric ?

Not quite: I did not count the size of the header in Monocypher and TweetNaCl. Still, I don't think Libsodium has less than 22K lines of actual code. (Note: I counted everything with sloccount)

On the other hand, my lines never exceed 80 characters.
There is no reliable or efficient vector to introduce fluoresence to somatic cells in a horse-sized animal, so no, 1 month is still way too short. You seem to have a highly romanticised idea about the capability of GM but it is misguided.

Besides, GFP fluoresence is the proverbial low hanging fruit as it is robustly expressed in many cell types but has very little practical value. Inserting useful traits via GM is often no short cut because they are rarely determined by a single gene.
