No, they would also need the private key, which is on the Darwin Note.

The private key is on a separate note, Darwin.
adamkochanowicz··on Git-secret – store private data in a Git repo
I used to put .gpg files in my repos that stored sensitive information like database passwords and such.

I don't do that anymore. The main problem as I saw it was that you basically liberate your security to an environment you can't monitor or send rejections to (if someone downloads your gpg file). Compare this to an ssh server which affords both those abilities.

adamkochanowicz··on Ask HN: What are examples of GitHub repositories with high code quality?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap

Maybe because it's getting a bad wrap these days with people doing dumb, repetitive things with it. But I've always found the code quality to be very good.

Feels like this is aaaalmost there. I just didn't see an option to universally keep data storage below a certain amount. If I bring down so many local copies that I exceed the space on my computer, do I then have to peck through local files and individually revert them to being reference files until I get my space back?

Would be great if, once a certain threshold is reached, the oldest downloaded files would revert seamlessly.

adamkochanowicz··on Hey Look, It's Every Bootstrap Website Ever
Thank you for including the picture of the laptop and phone. Why it's important for people to show pictures of this in their website has always confused me.

How does it–It's really fast! Yes but how can it be faster–Why is fast good? Because of all the things you do in your life. Okay, but what technology does—Circular antenna LOLz!1

That should be fixed now, btw.

Thanks for the feedback. I was actually just using twitter to simplify the process of signing up and maintaining real user accounts (not bulletproof, I know). But I can see how the "Sign up with Twitter" might turn some folks off. I'll see if I can change those permissions. The app doesn't actually post or read anything, so that can be modified.

Is it me or does $4M annually still seem like a high cost?

adamkochanowicz··on Phone Janitor – Take control of your phone number
What about calling out? I know with GV you can dial your GV number to dial the number you actually want to call (So the recipient sees your GV number in their caller ID). It was a little cumbersome, but it worked. Does PJ have something like this?

This is a massive slippery slope argument. "If Apple is building out their search feature, it means they will become Google."

The same arguments have steered speculation wrong when we thought touch was coming to the MacBook or that Apple would release an iPhone Nano.

adamkochanowicz··on [dead]
Okay, so this is speculation.

I don't know if Apple really wants or needs to become a search engine for the web like Google. That could become true, but other than the fact that they have a native search feature that (big surprise here) they iterate on and improve, there's nothing that I can see pointing to it.
