  • I think I would have enjoyed this more, if I had played it earlier. But when I finally got around to playing it in 2021, the Multiplayer was dead and I had already seen too many pretty games for Journey to stand out.

    I can see how someone would fall in love with at the right time though.










  • Ich weiß nicht wie Bitwarden es macht, aber man kann trivial Schlüssel so verteilen, dass zwei Parteien nötig sind um den Tresor zu öffnen.

    Naiver Ansatz frei aus dem Kopf: Verschlüssle deine Daten synchron mit Key A. Dann verschlüssle Key A mit Key B. Gib Key B an Bitwarden und den verschlüsselten Key A an deinen Notfallkontakt. Bitwarden kann dann Key B rausrücken sobald dein Notfalkontakt sich ausweißt.

    Bitwarden macht das mit Sicherheit cleverer, aber das Beispiel sollte ausreichen.










  • Building abstractions and tools to reduce busy-work has been the goal of computer science since the moment we created assembly. The difficulty lies in finding methods that provide enough value for enough use-cases to outweigh the cost of learning, documenting, and maintaining them. Finding a solution that works for your narrow use-case is easy - every overly eager junior has done it. However, building solutions that truly advance CS takes time, effort, and many, many failures. I don’t mean to discourage you, but always be aware of the cost of your abstraction. Sometimes, the busy work is actually better.
