Four types! You missed Ibiricus female, ie the next generation of queen

It's mostly talking about the case where someone receives an encrypted message which is intended to later be published openly. If it was padded by adding stuff, an attacker can try…

It's not just about the actual sound effects, it's also the writing. The movie clip the article uses as an anchor shows people using silencers to have a gunfight in public with bys…

NP-complete is indeed the intersection of NP-hard and NP. If you can solve any NP-hard problem then you can solve any NP-complete problem (because you can convert any instance of a…

Someone who knew or guessed that you were doing it could find your key very quickly by trying out every beacon value in the time range your key was generated in

For 2/3, it does indeed work with fractions internally. For pi, it uses some floating point representation I think, you get about 50 digits.

Whether family names are more differentiated depends on where you live. The USA has a wide variety, but there are also places like Vietnam where only a handful of family names are …

Not sure about the pageant part, but it's a major problem when connecting to a compromised server leaks the client's private key. (For example, if an attacker has compromised serve…

The search keyword to learn more is "post-quantum cryptography" RSA and ECC cryptography could be broken, but (with a probably rocky transition period) we could move to other algor…

I use one to get rid of fixed headers on a page javascript:(function()%20{%20var%20s,e,i,ee=document.getElementsByTagName('*');%20for(i=0;%20e=ee[i];%20i++)%20{%20s=getComputedStyl…

The thing they're they're reporting is that a CVE leaked and Bard found out about it before public disclosure. Except that it's false because Bard made it up. There's no real curl …

I don't think anyone really expected antimatter to produce antigravity, but it had never been tested before so it was worth doing the experiment.

Or to put it another way, people waste 10% of their time on the web waiting for slow bloated garbage to load (or more when you take into account pages that do more loading when you…

Sounds like they were testing it with a small enough amount of data that the disk version could just work from cache and didn't actually have to go to the disk

For me it's that I want the most inflexible leg of the trip first. I'll often get a local bus to a railway station then get a long distance train. The trains are infrequent and it'…

Browsers won't accept a certificate unless it comes with proof that it was submitted to a CT log. So a government could MITM you but they'd have to burn a CA to do it, whether you …

Yes, microcode updates are distributed as part of Windows Update

To expand on one of those things - bike chains get slightly longer as they wear out. Once it's about 1% longer than it started, it looks about the same as it always did, but it's s…

> idk what it will cost That's the problem GP means. It's less than a week until it happens, and nobody knows how much it's going to cost, how you convert your free account to a pa…

I agree, facebook could have saved themselves a lot of mockery and bad press by spending 0.01% of their VR budget on hiring some people who know how to make simple graphics look go…

It's a completely ridiculous list. The blogpost is about designing a 2 tap filter, not a CPU, so even if there wasn't a gate limit the design wouldn't have those things.

For anyone who didn't see this tweet before it got pg suspended: > This is the last straw. I give up. You can find a link to my new Mastodon profile on my site.

If you deliver checkmate, you lose. You have to instead force your opponent into a situation where they only have one legal move (which is trivially the best engine move).
