Statistics by Freedman et al is a great introduction to statistics. It took me a year to fully read it but the exercises are fun, real world examples of applying statistical methods.
Right! I remember now buying the book just to read the chapter about Anders. Was not disappointed. (for the record other "masterminds" were also interesting).
> the monetisation strategy for New Vector is selling Matrix hosting (https://modular.im) and helping out big folks like Governments who want to jump on board Matrix. While the company is certainly not profitable yet, it certainly has a path to being sustainable (otherwise folks like Automattic wouldn't invest!)
Thanks for this info! Exactly what I was looking for.
> Matrix allows you to host your own server, federate messages in real-time between servers, and still benefit from end-to-end encryption between multiple client devices.
This sounds like XMPP so nothing new.
What sets the Matrix apart is that they have the money and spend time and effort to get their clients into good shape. The E2E verification is a prime example: looks simple and works well.
It was some time when I read the explanation on how do they want to approach this but I guess the card identifier will no longer be needed (or all card ids will be stored).
I worked on Windows for two decades and tried WSL1. Windows is not super annoying but as a developer all my tools were actually Linux native or cross platform so one day I just cut the middle man and switched to Linux. It wasn't such a big leap but my productivity definitely increased.
WSL is nice when you don't have choice. Linux is actually the optimum choice for most developers.
It's not a big problem because tokens lock themselves after 3 tries so even if someone got your token they'd have to guess it. Having separate subkeys for each token is nice but works best only with the signature subkey. For encryption it doesn't work as GnuPG encrypts only to one subkey. The same with authentication subkey: it doesn't matter if you revoke it because SSH doesn't understand OpenPGP revocations.
Yeah I had the same experience using OpenPGP applet on the Yubikey both on Linux and Windows. It just works. Maybe it was a problem once but got improved with time?
