This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

# low latency is important so we highly recommend that you disable hyper

# cache misses and load.

# These settings are specifically tuned for a "low" latency FIOS (300/300) and
# gigabit LAN connections. If you have 10gig or 40gig you will need to increase

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators


Update 04.04.2020: Please take a look at many of the forks of this gist or comments, where people have updated or improved upon the code. I have not needed this in a long time, which is why the original document has not been updated and the code probably does not work. Stay secure and only copy and paste code that you trust.

There is an increasing count of applications which use Authy for two-factor authentication. However many users who aren't using Authy, have their own authenticator setup up already and do not wish to use two applications for generating passwords.

Since I use 1Password for all of my password storing/generating needs, I was looking for a solution to use Authy passwords on that. I couldn't find any completely working solutions, however I stumbled upon a gist by Brian Hartvigsen. His post had a neat code with it to generate QR codes (beware, thro

process.nextTick vs setImmediate

@mafintosh asks: "Does anyone have a good code example of when to use setImmediate instead of nextTick?"

https://twitter.com/mafintosh/status/624590818125352960

The answer is "generally anywhere outside of core".

process.nextTick is barely asynchronous. Flow-wise it is asynchronous, but it will trigger before any other asynchronous events can (timers, io, etc.) and thus can starve the event loop.

In this script I show a starved event loop where I just synchronously block, use nextTick and setImmediate

On "Real Coding," history, and what it means to be a programmer.

I'm sitting here, on a rainy Sunday morning in June 2015, in front of my MacBook Air, flipping switches on my Android, staring at the computer. A light bulb in my living room flickers from blue, to orange, to some weird green color. I'm tracking Bluetooth LE Characteristics. I have a Bluetooth light bulb, and they don't have a javascript API yet, so I'm using noble and node to write one.

I'm sitting there, a few miles away, in I want to say August 1999. I'm staring at a CRT monitor, and plugged into a USB port on my family's windows tower is a GameBoy GameShark that I took on a lot of chores and time to earn. plugged into that is some Harvest Moon game or another. I want to say I needed more tomato seeds. My child-brain decided that instead of figuring out a way to earn the in-game currency, I would alter the universe.

I wasn't the most straightforward-thinking kid.

Since then I've learned I could've just used Yahoo (or even Ask Jeeves!) for the codes. Instead I looked up how to make them: I found profanit
