Would be nice if they put some work into their Apple Watch app too. Especially after they made such a big deal out of it with that website.

For merges and other finicky git actions I’ve been increasingly turning to Atom instead of the commandline. I like how it auto-formats my commit messages to line wrap and how it makes highlighting merge conflicts easy.

For everything else these days I use VSCode.

Agreed. It always takes me several tries to update using the "Restart and Install" button.

Google does support U2F on Firefox. Just not for registering the key.

I just wish it wasn’t so tedious to version control Jupyter notebooks. I always try and clear the output before I stage it so I don’t have large binaries of plots or figures that were generated.

Is there a downside to including the actual unicode emoji versus the text version that needs to be rendered? I tend to go for the former.

I agree. I think it’s a mistake in the article. The author most likely saw that LastPass supports Yubikeys and thought that was the same as U2F?

I believe this can also be done in your ssh config file which would confer the added benefit of having the alias available to scp and rsync.

Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on this as I’ve previously used https://automeris.io/WebPlotDigitizer/.

I'm glad that they have released support for the Web Authentication API. Hopefully I won't need to use Chrome for websites I choose to be more secure with.

Although, with a quick look it seems like I still can't use U2F with Google on Firefox.

This is actually not recommended:

And while the C.D.C. recommends washing all produce with water, including heads of lettuce, it does not recommend washing other forms of bagged lettuce, which has already been washed before bagging. “Your chances of contaminating it in your kitchen” — with contaminants that may already be on your kitchen countertop, hands or elsewhere — “are actually higher than if you didn’t wash the salad greens,” notes Dr. Gieraltowski.

High performance computing (HPC) is a specific field. Fast communication between compute nodes is very important and you won't get that on GCP or AWS where you may get 10gbs at the max. Most of the fast simulation codes are bounded by communication time between nodes.

Although, Azure is currently doing some HPC offerings.

If the person already knows markdown, Pandoc is a great option [0]. I find it really useful for creating pdfs. I haven't used it to create official documents that often, but I have used it to create Beamer slides and it was a very smooth experience. If you're an advanced user and you want to do something LaTeX-specific you can just write LaTeX inline and Pandoc will accept it.

cmd+f,"u2f" or "webauth"

Nothing.. I wonder when they'll ever get to fully supporting u2f (probably via webauth) so I don't have to use Chrome to log into certain websites.
