Re:1Password 7.7 for Mac can be unlocked with Apple Watch on Tuesday November 24, 2020 @02:52AM (#25196254)
TIL. It looks like 1Password stores the key in the Secure Enclave and uses the "watch" constraint [0] to access it. This triggers the "Approve with Apple Watch" prompt [1].

Interesting! On the topic of security, do you plan to add a SECURITY.md [0] in case people wish to report potential vulnerabilities?

I'm curious how 1Password achieved this as (afaik) Apple hasn't exposed an "Unlock with Apple Watch" API to third parties.

This is a neat way to develop muscle memory for the home row.

As a complement to `vimtutor`, I'd love to know about more games that get people familiar with vim.

Right now I only know of https://vim-adventures.com which costs $25 for 6 months' use.

Do you plan to post about karma.fm when it comes out of alpha?

I'd be interested in the Zettelkasten and second brain examples under "How can Karma help me?"

I imagine Amazon's bot detection would flag the high volume of requests made with this pattern:

a) fetch products from a particular category

b) add products to cart

c) proceed to checkout

Amazon doesn't mention how they'd enforce against scraping but my guess is IP- and account-level restrictions.

Looks like wttr.in forks wego which uses these sources [0]:

  * worldweatheronline.com
  * darksky.net
  * openweathermap.com
I couldn't find anything more concrete.
