Perhaps google should open up additional channels of communication for "top contributors" to escalate problems?

I did the same thing a few years ago (scroll down past the tutorial/examples for the annotated code) http://sparecycles.github.io/litijs?template (but litijs itself is an undocumen…

Is anyone else having cognitive dissonance with the % of ingredients in so-many-grams of water? Does 1% baking soda and 0.5% salt in 2000 grams of water mean 20 grams of baking sod…

Beginner's mistake. "Beginners mistake" can only be used as the start of a sentence as in "Beginners mistake azure for blue."

Sadly, the blog isn't available over https.

I'm not sure if they can deliver on the custom grind promise. I know that supermarkets have to grind in a specific order: roughly cow, pig, chicken: lower required cooking temperat…

I'm confused by their claim of hashing and THEN salting authentication codes. On the server-side, we don't store the authentication code in plaintext. We hash it with PBKDF2 / SHA-…

In answer to the question: "Suppose Bitcoin mining software always explored nonces starting with x = 0, then x = 1, x = 2,\ldots. If this is done by all (or even just a substantial…

A neat trick (tm) for allocating a linked list: recursively call a function which allocates a node on the stack, hooking them up in the function... call something else and pass the…
