PROGCRYPTO (programmable crypto) The capabilities of multiparty computations, fully homomorphic encryption and zero knowledge proofs are super interesting and will allow for new ways of using the internet. In the same way it was hard to imagine what the consequences of asymmetric encryption was at the time when it was conceived, it think the same is true for MPC and FHE today. These technologies are only recently getting feasible. Example use-case: Look for relatives (think ancestry) based on your DNA sequence with cryptographic guarantees, that everyone's DNA stays secret.

I really liked this article. It's the first time I see async Python used to solve a problem.

Suggestion: I think it would make sense to use softmax as the scaling function. This way you don't need to worry about outliers and you get to decide the running time.

I use it to launch GUI apps from the terminal, e.g.

    coproc 'nemo .'

I like to add:

Shift + ZA -> :up (save only if needed without quitting.)

by adding to your .vimrc:

    nnoremap ZA :update<CR>

Because it is better than the alternative.

Pick two:

  (1) memorizable passwords
  (2) bruteforce-resistant passwords
  (3) account-unique passwords.

The best tradeoff for me is (2)+(3) sacrificing (1), so I use a local password manager (named 'pass'). That said, I would never trust a 3rd party like LastPass.

How come there appears to be symmetry in Rio de Janeiro?

What makes you sleepy is that the drugs cross the blood-brain barrier. Newer drugs containing fexofenadine do not have that side effect.
