Addition/subtraction are also much simpler/cheaper than they would be in an entirely logarithmic model. If floats were just 2^x with some 64 bit fixed point x, it's not clear to me…

The "200 basis point spread" comes from the difference between the very low or non-existent interest paid on the cash in brokerage accounts and the rates the brokerage can earn by …

The problem being solved essentially is: you have two binary strings, and you want to offset one of them so that they match up the best. For each offset, you're taking a dot produc…

In general, xz beats zstd in compression ratio, as xz is very committed to providing the strongest compression, at the expense of speed, while zstd provides a range of compression …

While that is true, part of the contents that is hashed is the time of commit. Therefore if you (somehow...) managed to get that hash, you could just reset and commit again. Or ame…

Ok, thanks for the reply. Do you guys have any plans to try client-side encryption at some point in the future and/or do file encryption as well? I have to agree with kenrikm to so…

Looks interesting, although more information on the encryption schemes used, how the key is stored/represented/generated would be nice given that the idea is to trust the service w…

I know how you feel, a few months ago I was working on a game with a friend just for fun (I was coding, he was doing everything art, music, etc). At one point I realized I was putt…
