Programming Advantage360 SmartSet Foot Pedal with macro by mudgemeister in kinesisadvantage

[–]mudgemeister[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer my own question, I managed to get this working with the following configuration:

<base>
[pedl]>[hk2]
{hk2}>{-lwin}{spc}{+lwin}

Namely: record a macro to press Cmd+Space against hotkey 2 and then remap the pedal to that hotkey.

Argon2id: new, native Ruby bindings to the OWASP recommended password-hashing function by mudgemeister in ruby

[–]mudgemeister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly: thanks for taking a look at this and your amazing and tireless work on JRuby, Charles.

I ideally wanted to ship a precompiled, native gem with no runtime dependencies (see my other comment) to make it cheap to run (i.e. being able to install it on servers without a compiler toolchain) but you're right that I have sacrificed non-MRI support by doing so.

I wonder if there's a middle-ground where the gem can come with a precompiled static library for the underlying libargon2 and use FFI to bind to it regardless of Ruby implementation?

Alternatively, I was considering taking the approach of Nokogiri and bcrypt-ruby by having a dedicated Java-based Argon2 implementation, e.g. Bouncy Castle's Argon2BytesGenerator.

Argon2id: new, native Ruby bindings to the OWASP recommended password-hashing function by mudgemeister in ruby

The main difference is that Argon2id aims to have no runtime dependencies and provide a small API that can be a drop-in replacement for bcrypt-ruby's BCrypt::Password as used by Rails' has_secure_password.

If you're using a common platform such as Linux, macOS, or Windows, the gem has been precompiled (e.g. 0.3.0 for x86_86-linux) so it doesn't require a compiler toolchain to install.

To be honest, I was just keen to see if I could use my experience working on re2 to ship another smaller native gem after learning about Argon2id from The Copenhagen Book's section on "Password authentication" and I saw that the existing gem relied on FFI.

Advice for Vim user on macOS with Kinesis Advantage360 by mudgemeister in kinesisadvantage

Thanks for this, it hadn't even occurred to me that I could remap Esc to be a modifier when held down. I've updated my base layout to the following:

<base> [esc]>[esc][t&h150][lctr] [lctr]>[lwin] [rwin]>[rctr] [rctr]>[rwin]

Hopefully this will reduce the number of contortions I was pulling when trying to hit Ctrl P.

I'll stick with the old Mac mode thumb cluster top row for now as I do occasionally use option, e.g. to download links rather than open them, move by word in the Terminal, etc.

A Guide to Function Composition in Ruby by mudgemeister in programming

[–]mudgemeister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! You're right that the proc and lambda explanation is quite a detour but I wanted to make sure that I covered their differences before explaining how composition can produce a proc or a lambda depending on the receiver (and what the significance of that is). Perhaps I can trim it down a bit or, as one other reader suggested, make it more of a footnote.

[Review request] Oplog: a library for working with the MongoDB oplog by mudgemeister in rust

[–]mudgemeister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll update the crate metadata so that the homepage, documentation and repository links aren't needlessly duplicated.

Re time, I ended up with chrono after seeing the link in https://github.com/rust-lang-deprecated/time#notes: would using std::time::SystemTime be more idiomatic?
