never even heard of that kind of bonus. it sounds like it's designed to work exactly this way.

You are practicing eastern philosophy :)
The Man From Earth is wonderful. The best ultra-low budget movie IMO.

The Python hypothesis package strikes me more like a dynamic version of Haskell/LiquidHaskell than Haskell/hedgehog.

Honestly, it's shocking that this came as a surprise. It's like they don't know why they made Gitlab self-hostable.

The article is about Laetiporus sulphureus. The article clearly states that amateur foragers mistakenly eat Laetiporus gilbertsonii and Laetiporus conifericola and experience gastrointestinal problems.

> I have not heard many companies really conceptualize their “supply chain” exposure from the myriad of scripts/dependencies injected via tag managers and other software.
I made a thing called "TrackerMap" that allowed people, mostly Fortune 500 web/risk/compliance people, to do just that: https://www.crownpeak.com/products/monitoring-solutions/tag-...
(It has since been acquired, and I have no affiliation.)

This is really excellent advice. Too many people work too hard for too long before learning this the hard way.
By all means do a good job, but don't kill yourself. Your employer will not do the same for you.

It's not the same issue. With your approach, a compromise of the seed is catastrophic and reveals everything. With a regular password manager, you also need access to the vault encrypted using that master password. That's not a given -- most password managers either store their vaults locally or offer 2FA when synced.
(Nevermind that you can't change individual passwords or the master password at will with a deterministic scheme.)
patrickmn | 8 years ago | on: Horcrux: A Password Manager for Paranoids
All such deterministic algorithms are seeded by something. This is their basic flaw. Guess the seed and you get all the passwords.
With a password manager that randomly generates unique passwords, you don't have that problem, but you do have to synchronize the data.
patrickmn | 8 years ago | on: Is SHA-3 slow?
Highly recommend using Argon2id/Argon2d/scrypt/bcrypt/PBKDF2 (in that order of preference) for password authentication/"storage." While SHA-3 might be slower than other fast hash functions, it's not at all designed for the same purpose. Functions suitable for password authentication are not merely CPU-intensive, but also memory-intensive.

Yeah, the security track record of post-Vista Windows is far better than OS X.

It's very strange at first, and I had the same reaction as you, but it's actually quite nice. (I say that as somebody who strongly dislikes snake_case :) )
