Some car manufacturers are employing ultra wide band for precise location. The VW ID.4 for example has this. I'm not aware of successful (relay) attacks against these kind of syste…

Which may be because you simply can't do everything good without practice and in pure math, well, there are things you don't do as much. When I go back to the 3rd and 4th degree po…

They weren't the maintainers anymore. That's the reason. OSS is tricky sometimes in that regard.

It's not about runtime objects, its about static code that should be closed for modification. Plugin architectures are most representable thing for this I can think of: You don't n…

Wait, why do they call it amplitude when it's the rotational component? What is the reasoning to call this amplitude?

What is it with mercury and relativity?

Also the security of the theoretic primitives behind symmetric encryption rely on the existence of pseudorandom generators / pseudorandom functions ect. which is not proven either.…

For starters nlohmann/json is fuzzed (look at the test directory). From my experience it is really stable. jsoncpp still has some quirks as it relies on unit tests only. Big no no …

It's on its way though. Better late than never I guess.

Well if she finds having children not to be attractive, that's fine. But I doubt that further decline of birthrates in the West will stop overpopulation.

I'd like to recommend Jean Parents talks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGcVXgEVMJg&list=PLiWEEi8ezR... They are truly great.

As someone not from the U.S. I wonder, what does "outdated" mean? Can you give a simple example - e.g. comparison - what would be "math back then" and "math nowadays". Because to m…
