   > Your SSH public key is really the least of your identifiable information you’d be worried about I disagree. The article points to simplifications that SSH did compared to GPG, like no web of trust. But there's now something very close to one, a bit hidden though: SSHFP + DNSSEC I think a lot of people here may not be familiar with SSHFP records, so check https://fanf.livejournal.com/130577.html for a more detailed…

    For JavaScript you might do quite well with a 32-way bit-slice implementation, like http://fanf.livejournal.com/93032.html That is, if you can't do it on the GPU with WebGL :-)

    Note that SGT's coroutines are stackless, whereas this article's coroutines have their own stack. It's also worth noting that you don't need asm to change the stack pointer, if you don't mind being imprecise about its exact value by the size of a function invocation frame or so: you can use alloca() or variable length arrays to do arithmetic on the stack pointer! https://fanf.livejournal.com/105413.html

    Here are some software engineering blogs from my RSS reader in addition to the ones listed in TFA. I honestly don't know how over or underrated they are, but I guess that varies depending on which communities you're closer to.

    If you are using an ssh agent, it is a good idea to delete the keys when you lock the screen or sleep your laptop. On Mac OS X you can do this with Hammerspoon: http://fanf.livejournal.com/139925.html

    This general technique is (or was) called SWAR for SIMD-within-a-register, before CPUs had actual SIMD registers and instructions. I played around with bit-parallel Game of Life a while back, calling it LIAR (Life In A Register). If you are doing really fast hashlife then the very low level supercell representations can be small bitmaps for which LIAR works nicely. https://fanf.livejournal.com/93032.html

    This reminds me of the pull request I did for Hammerspoon to allow your scripts to watch more screen lock and user switching events. My goal was to delete keys from the ssh-agent when the screen locks or the computer suspends. http://fanf.livejournal.com/139925.html
