Advertising any UUID/GUID generator as cryptographically secure, or relying on it to be so, is a mistake, in my opinion. You use a UUID when you need a universally unique ID whose guessability properties are not a critical security req

Something similar, but encrypted, is PaperAge [1]. Admittedly, I haven't used it, but it seems like a nice solution for secure physical backup of small secrets. The catch, of course, is now you need to make sure you never forget your p

Pretty much, yes. If you imagine “Bob” has a policy that he can only converse with numbers in his address book, then you could think of it as: 1. -> Alice calls Bob 1.a. Bob does not pick up the call, but adds the number shown f

My interpretation is he's lamenting that certain Unix OS abstractions (e.g. open, close, read, and write) do not lend themselves well to building distributed systems, like a distributed filesystem. Plan9, for example, designed it'

Agreed. I avoid reader-writer locks unless absolutely required and benchmarks prove it worthwhile. Their usage often fails to outperform a regular lock due to additional overhead. They seem to make sense only in specific high-contention sce
