Take a look at PureScript [1], it's Haskell-like but strict. [1]: http://www.purescript.org/

In Haskell and PureScript, Monad is a typeclass just like any other. They are an abstraction, effectful computation is not inherent to them, they represent computational contexts, e.g. the list monad is used to model non-determinism, the ma

> If P = NP, then P^X = NP^X for any oracle X, right? Edit: No, I think. See child comment by JadeNB. Probably wrong { Yes, since we could just not invoke the oracle. But people do this sort of stuff to study it backwards e.g. what do P^

A really cool result which seems relatively unknown is that if we augment our Turing machines with an oracle X chosen uniformly at random from all oracles then P^X =/= NP^X with probability 1. An oracle is a black box that can solve a

Yes, under that threat model you would lose with all of these password managers.

You can use a hash of the site appended with a .pass wide pepper as the name of the directory storing credentials for a particular site, then use a wrapper script that hashes its input before passing it to pass. Also full disk encryption.

It's great people are exploring this problem space, but so far nothing comes close to https://www.passwordstore.org/ which is just a wrapper around gpg and git. It has Android/iOS clients, as well as GUI clients.

I neglected to mention that the first time you install Signal it should come from a trusted source (e.g. copy it from someone who is happy to use the play store), then updating via apkmirror is safe, since the signatures will match. Also th

That is a really good point, I actually got someone else to get it from the play store then copied it, the updates from apkmirror are then fine since the signatures match. I'll edit the post to say, get it from a trusted source. This i
