Patents. Can’t live with violating them, can’t live without violating them. The entire concept of patented cryptography is a bit beyond what I have the energy to deal with right now. Whatever. We’re going in.
It didn’t click with me yesterday, reading the crypto news, that I had already quoted one Dan Brown with whom we are now concerned. No, not the one who wrote the novels. One of the other ones. I cited him in my timeline of trying to reconstruct where and when exactly Dual EC DRBG went so wrong. Specifically, the paper has a casual mention (bottom of page 7) that the proof of security relies on initialization value Q being random, because if it is not random, an adversary in-the-know can recover the prestates and everything’s downhill from there. Therefore – and I quote – it is generally preferable for Q to be c
The notion of Compose keys are brilliant. I really like the notion of pressing a key, typing a sequence of characters, and out pops a pretty Unicode character. However, the default sequences in X are immensely silly, and in any case, there's already an RFC for this.
RFC 1345 exists to specify a simple way of entering Unicode characters, and it's a crying shame that Compose keys don't use it,

Together with HellMood we won this year's (2016) JS1K competition and thought this might be a good opportunity to write about the development process and my motivation behind it. If you're already familiar with JS1K, feel free to skip the next two paragraphs.
