It's very similar to how TPMs work. Discoverable keys were originally called resident keys because regular keys were almost always encrypted in the key handle and sent to the RP.
If you don't trust a system to encrypt why would you trust it to generate keys with correct random or sign without leaking key data?
The encrypted private key isn't any more likely to be a weak link than the other things a token could do wrong.
No it is technically correct for nondiscoverable mode. Naturally there should be low value in breaking the opacity of the stored key as it should be a private key only used with the server that holds it.
Sure, I own a few pine64 devices and an RPI4 too. I would like the raspberry PI community to synchronize on a manufacturer like rockchip for a while. I simply never see a useful broadcom chip in the wild that isn't in a RPI and the RPIs omit features I want.
I'd be happier if they ditched pi 4 production and just released a 5 with whatever SOC manufacturer has the best availability, hopefully that isn't Broadcom.
I know plenty of people who did fine in software development and related jobs without CS degrees. I would recommend fitting in as many STEM, philosophy and linguistics classes as you can and maybe add a minor or double major in one of those subjects instead of CS.
The EPFL and ETH are the two main technical schools in Switzerland which has a population of 9 million. Going by population stats this puts Switzerland next to New Jersey.
The pattern I've noticed is that all software in the US failed after Bell collapsed and the collective unconscious moved software innovation to Europe.
I guess. TBH it seemed to me like rust success stories was more people like Bryan Cantrill who don't seem at all like the Mozilla people. Maybe this is a difference between practice and theorists.
AFAICT the whole subject was actual dislike of a project mixed with its irrelevance given the timeline. I find it entirely fair to downgrade someone's talk based on community feedback that they don't like a technical direction/topic/etc. I suppose it should hurt more to get honest negative sentiment on the direction of your actual work than random prejudice or something, and yes the dominant sentiment could be wrong, but I don't see how that is relevant let alone a valid source of drama for others.
Perhaps people who step down will be replaced by people who simply reject the criticism that they shouldn't make the best choice for what the community wants to hear about.
