Statistics by Freedman et al is a great introduction to statistics. It took me a year to fully read it but the exercises are fun, real world examples of applying statistical methods.

Ha, great to hear. I always assumed they went back to windows as part of some deal as around the same time Microsoft opened a big HQ in Munich.

Great resource indeed, thanks! Too bad the latest one is 2 years old :(

Right! I remember now buying the book just to read the chapter about Anders. Was not disappointed. (for the record other "masterminds" were also interesting).

As someone that also used languages designed by Anders I'm also a huge fan of his work. Too bad there are just a few quality interviews with him: https://www.artima.com/intv/anders.html

Yep. Although in my opinion Programming Rust [0] is better even though dated. The word goes that the 2nd edition will be out by the end of the year. [0]: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Rust-Fast-Systems-Develop...

Nope, worse is that investors subtly want to extract value from them e.g. utilizing user data from identity server on vector.im or so. Even if they just "went Keybase" not having people outside of the org working on it would slowl

Very cool. If you liked that check out their Sorcery series of games. I played them over and over for weeks. Highly addictive!

> Matrix allows you to host your own server, federate messages in real-time between servers, and still benefit from end-to-end encryption between multiple client devices. This sounds like XMPP so nothing new. What sets the Matrix apart i

VC money mixed with open source software again. It didn't end well for Keybase. I hope Matrix has a monetization strategy. Edit: for people interested there are company docs at https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company

Pacman can remove dependencies that are not used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#... This is explicit rather than implicit but it works even on one package.

Yes, totally. I've also migrated to Linux after decades of working on Windows. Still, it's interesting development (nope, I won't be coming back).

It was some time when I read the explanation on how do they want to approach this but I guess the card identifier will no longer be needed (or all card ids will be stored). If you want to check it yourself https://dev.gnupg.org&#

I worked on Windows for two decades and tried WSL1. Windows is not super annoying but as a developer all my tools were actually Linux native or cross platform so one day I just cut the middle man and switched to Linux. It wasn't such a

It's not a big problem because tokens lock themselves after 3 tries so even if someone got your token they'd have to guess it. Having separate subkeys for each token is nice but works best only with the signature subkey. For encry

Yeah I had the same experience using OpenPGP applet on the Yubikey both on Linux and Windows. It just works. Maybe it was a problem once but got improved with time?

by Boulth 6y ago
I think you confused this with security.txt standard. WKD is not enumerable (unless explicitly configured like that) so the issue doesn't exist.

I think the proper solution would be 1) don't use forwarding unless necessary 2) setup touch-to-use on a Yubikey so even with your scenario the attacker couldn't just use the key (it requires touch to be used).

Yeah I always wonder how do they get the logo there. Is Pragli asking Facebook for permission to put their logo there?

by Boulth 6y ago
Yeah maybe it should be more obvious but Mailvelope just adds end to end encryption to existing webmails (through extension overlay).

Thanks for the elaborate answer! I wonder if you considered Dhall ( https://dhall-lang.org/ ) that's declarative but at the same time has functions and other convenience factors.

A different line of arguing may be helpful: not even GnuPG validates DNSSEC signatures (source: https://dev.gnupg.org/T4618 ). That's why DNS key discovery schemes are not enabled by default there (WKD is).

If you don't want to self host I'd recommend https://account.conversations.im/ it's paid but properly maintained to have all extensions for modern experience. If you don't want to pay just pick something
