I thought France had it. It turns out France, Italy, Netherlands, UK, and Belgium have a conditional deferred version: you can become a citizen at 18 if you're born and have been living there (plus a few caveats).

In my previous company we hired a startup that did security training, that recommanded everyone use a password manager. And one of their test was that they sent a fake phishing email to people (randomized over a couple of months so not ever

I don't think that's correct as a blanket statement - you can use a passphrase, or remember a 14+ character password since you only have one to remember. Even if it's only random-ish, password managers do key stretching (for

I have the same issue, I tried to get into VSCode a few times but each time switched back to JetBrains. If your main issue is the keybinding though there is a vscode plugin[1] that recreates Intellij IDEA bindings, which I found helped smoo

For sure, though I'll probably have more info after the study. It's done by the same people as the second paper I linked, on people attending a 10-day silent meditation retreat. My understanding so far is that the participants wil

In Buddhism this is linked to the central concept of Dependent Origination: things arise in dependence on other things, everything is conditioned by something else. This includes movements of attention: attention is drawn to a sound percept

Yeah definitely! StatiCrypt was originally created to password protect pages uploaded on static hosting (like Github pages) or where you didn't have control on the server. It has some valid other use cases but it has drawbacks too and

Oh cool that looks awesome thanks for sharing! Are you the maintainer? I saw that StatiCrypt is listed is the alternative section of your README, I'll do the same on StatiCrypt (and add a bunch of the one listed there that I didn'

Especially with 600k PDBKF2 iterations, 16 alphanum chars should be very safe. There's a (warning: very detailed) issue covering the topic of PBKDF2 iterations and password length over here, if you feel like diving into that rabbit hol

Looks cool! And I like the effort you put in making your readme clear and covering many possible configs too, it feels very easy to read to me. Would you be okay with me listing your project in the Community and Alternatives[1] section of t

Glad you enjoyed it before switching! If you're open to sharing what didn't work for you in remembering people through re-deploy I'd love to hear it, I spent quite a few brain-cycles to think about making that as seamless as

Seconding this, as a layman I've found his books both technical and fascinating. He's a great teacher, getting into the details but explaining in a really engaging manner.

Author here - the specific use case is when you _don't_ have or want server-side logic or a DB. For example on static hosting (hence the name StatiCrypt) like Github pages, Netlify, etc. That means nothing to maintain, no server cost,

Yep, looks great! If I had known about it at the time I might not have written StatiCrypt. I added it to the "Alternatives to StatiCrypt"[1] section of the Readme years ago when I discovered it :) [1] https://github.com
