That's a great writeup. Is it possible to create a really long passphrase whose hash can't be reversed easily? Perhaps a diceware passphrase with six randomly chosen words?

Yeah and we have better training material for AI now. For example it could be possible to create a program that mimics Hackernews comments. There's more than enough training material on HN to create plausible-looking comments that aren

All the so called 'neo banks' are still in their infancy which is good reason to avoid them at all costs. I'm waiting until these startups mature (and they are startups).

One thing I never got about premium password managers is the question of: If I stop paying for the subscription, do I still get to access my secrets? I imagine there is still some grace period to backup your stored secrets, but I still th

I always loved the whimsy present in Unicode. For nostalgia, here's a HN post from 2010 pointing to the `Unicode Snowman for You` site (which is still up!) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2035572 And the site: ht

It would be cool if MDN had a Stack Overflow question-and-answer style format alongside the main offering. Then Mozilla could take advantage of the gamification model where users earn badges and awards for their efforts. Jeff Atwood said it

I want to know if the photos are securely deleted. It's not enough that the mere reference to a file is gone. I want everything overwritten with zeroes, and the photo made properly irrecoverable.

I like to run `wpd` for clients[0] It gets rid of the programs that obtrusively weigh down the system, as-well as removing a lot of cruft the typical user doesn't need. Disclaimer: it can break some things, but it's a small price
