I looked at Wikipedia; Taler then Blind signature, then looked for docs on GNU Taler where I didn't immediately find any technical overview of how that works. Phind gave me a seemingly reasonable and understandable answer. (Surely sourced from somewhere.)

When we multiply the original message by rere, sign it, and then multiply by r−1r−1, the blinding factors cancel out while preserving the signature.

The success of this process relies on two critical properties:

• The blinding factor must be relatively prime to N
• The RSA keypair must satisfy the congruence relation red≡r(modN)red≡r(modN)

The magic is that you can

1. Apply a mathematical operation on your data
2. Sign that data
3. Revert/Invert the mathematical operation

and the signature remains valid.

It does sound like magic. But isn't most of cryptography like that?

There's a python example in there as well, with such a calculation. I didn't go through it though.

I just wanted to add an additional resource related to the topic.

There's a lot more variance in the specifics, but I think for an overview like this it's certainly missing dual-licensing and "business-open" licenses like "readable but limited now, but free software two years from now".

But I guess with the specific target audience of this post the reduction for simplicity is a good thing.

It's in a process of development and testing in Europe as an official currency/payment technology.

taler.net has a post about that - NGI Taler - too.

We may be seeing much more concrete news and use in and from two years from now.

Performance optimization is hard because it’s fundamentally a brute-force task, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I think that only takes effect after a certain degree of best practices, knowable practices and effects, and after educated guesses and theories with testing. That's a lot before you reach brute force territory. At least in typical and higher-level programming language development.

Redis stands for redistribute

right?

If it can’t reach the IDP

But also when being able to reach the IDP, no?

I don't see how being able to use passwords previous to the previous makes any sense even with that in mind.

When the PC can connect to the IDP, I would expect it to validate against that one and only that one.

Do you want feedback on your website too? I have a big monitor. It's too big, making use of the entire screen width and height, and seemingly scaling to fill proportionally instead of reasonably. I would like to be able to grasp the menu in one glance, not read word for word. I assume the content is a generated presentation. For me, that's unfit for a landing webpage too. Too big.

Seems interesting. But I don't have a use case, no need to make presentations regularly (and without existing templates). The signup is a hindrance, and having to learn a new syntax is too.

No docs regarding syntax or syntax overview/intro either, making it hard to assess. Link to "based on Tufle CSS" is broken. As well as hidden far down but not at the end.

Test date 2019, and it only lands now. No wonder it's being labeled a catastrophic failure. /s

This tool collects profiles of Intel GPU performance based on hardware sampling

Sounds like it's Intel only.

The ToS drama was overblown anyway. Not much has changed. They already had that stuff, like the deactivatable sponsored links.

Jobs are currently in-process background threads, so will exit when exiting the current Nushell process. There's plans for job dispatching though. In the meantime, the nu_scripts repo has a task module that uses pueue to handle such cases.

I've been using Nushell for quite a while now, and haven't had many issues or breakage upgrading across versions.

The most cumbersome was maybe mid of last year twice. Other than that, at least seemingly for the stuff I use, it hasn't been an issue.

oops, I meant to reply to the parent comment

You can't control the weather! /s

More than anything, this makes me think the CEO has no idea what their company is doing.

Not that I can know better, but it would shock me, or more specifically, that statement specifically is unlikely to be right. Maybe supported by, not written by. Or, can you call it written by AI when it was audited and committed by humans? I hope they're still there.

Or maybe they mean new code? That'd be more realistic.

Beautiful art

Why did they not link to the Jam?

Not yet.

When will Open Sourcing be Available?

Our focus will be on a smooth and successful Early Access launch on Steam, which is our highest priority. Only once we are happy with the state of the game will we start the process of open sourcing BitCraft.
