I understand the intellectual satisfaction you're talking about. Now I'm wondering if we can push the minimalism to using these four holes with only two fingers. It seems doable from the diagram you link, using link fingers, and assuming half holes can be covered from the left side, and two holes can be covered with one finger at the same time. Would that work, or does the physicality of the instrument prevent that ?

Agreed, especially for "serious" project, where LLMs are a good approximation of an average dev that could easily increase your bus factor.

On the other hand, this could be the same slippery slope that starts at "choose a boring project because it has mature tooling" but ends at "IDE's are a language smell". If the language is so boring that you can't focus on it without an LLM doing the menial work, that could be because there is too much menial work to start with.

> Finally, cryptographic warnings are being eliminated. Historically, as end-to-end encryption was rolled out throughout Matrix, not all apps verified the identity of their users, triggering confusing and unactionable warnings to users. We are now shifting towards only letting devices whose ownership has been verified by their owner participate in conversations, killing those warnings - as well as other underlying protocol changes to eliminate warnings.

As the operator of a small instance for family and friends, that's an important topic. The very frequent use case is : "I lost/replaced my phone and didn't save my passphrase". Does that mean that the account would be lost ?

oh nice, I was actually wondering what was the quickest way to build a meteor.js app (which is mostly a single threaded process).

My 2 cents: I had to scroll down all the way to find out where the "CPU speed" comes from... And I'd still like to know about the "avg" part, so you may want have a more detailed "Method" section (before the results) ;)
