Isn't OTP vulnerable to MITM attacks?

Uh, so the solution is to deny food to your fellow human beings because you slightly disagree on marginal political issues?
thatnerdyguy··on Stacked Diffs versus Pull Requests (2018)
They seem to be conflating a few different things here. We are right now doing branch-from-master-and-squash-merge-pr, just do we don't have the bisection issues they mention.

Having a far greater emphasis on even smaller units of work for a single feature (per commit) seems to unnecessarily increase cognitive load? Like now I have to do even more "planning ahead" of how my changes are going to inter-relate, and find some way to separate them out. I mean, that is ideal, but... software also has to be written.

thatnerdyguy··on What I Wish I Knew About U2F and Other Hardware MFA Protocols
That's all well and good, but a few weeks later I have another service I'm going to sign up for... I have to... first go to my safe deposit box to grab my third key? If I don't, then seems like it's a lot of bookkeeping.

But what is the story there? You have a backup key, hopefully stored "off site", now you want to enroll in another website. You have to get that backup key before you do that? Or bookkeep which sites you have on the backup key and which you don't?
thatnerdyguy··on Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show
Except your not beta testing. We had pre-alpha testing (phase I), alpha testing (phase II), and beta testing (phase III) already.

We (the US) should've had coordinated national messaging and education of vaccine mechanisms and safety starting the middle of last summer, but that would've required actual national leadership.

thatnerdyguy··on Why are diapers so expensive?
Warming? Testing? We gave our 3 cold bottles premade a few hours before right out of the fridge. Thankfully they never complained, and made our lives a hell of a lot easier. I weep for the parents who need to do the whole warming thing... seems like a giant PIA

I don't do mobile dev, but would something like vsts + hockeyapp be similar?
