If I understand correctly, the problem is that the hash created on the client side is used to create the encryption key before the server side hashes are applied. Only the master p…

I think you might have missed his point. The gist of it is that almost all modern software is at least 100x slower than it needs to be, for no good reason. Conventional software pr…

It is supposed to be fast, but starts up in “seconds”. Shame.

The electric Porsche that has "Turbo" in its name.

Double-spending doesn't change the rules, it changes where coins get sent, so you can rip-off the original recipient.

I disagree. OO has been in use for decades, and I don't think the industry is experiencing benefits anywhere near its costs.

Slow code is usually written due to ignorance rather than choice. Lots of people only know OOP, which is slow and unoptimisable by default.

What about the cost of putting shitty, slow software into the world? How about having respect for you user's time? Depending on how many users you have, shaving seconds or millisec…

Steve Ballmer made some mistakes, but after enough years went by, he realized that and changed his approach, setting up MS for success once again. He just didn't have enough time t…

I would love to see a monospace version of this.

This is not Data Oriented Design, far from it. I find it confusing that the term use here is "Data Oriented Programming".

I'm not sure life-cycle analysis is that useful in this case. If a paper bag requires more energy to produce, it could still be better for the environment as it doesn't stay around…

Breastfeeding "destroys the tits"? It's literally what they are for. If you can train your child to not bite after teeth start coming through, some women breastfeed for years. Also…

You don't need to do that many hops when using your own key, because you can double it repeatedly. ie instead of adding 1 256 times to get 256, you just double it 8 times.

Doesn't elliptic curve crypto rely on trap doors because it uses finite fields? The wrap around caused by the finite field is a trap door, isn't it?

It’s the size of the fee that is unethical.

Seems like great advice.

Native desktop apps are simply better. Cross-platform solutions promote mediocrity. Someone has to make good software otherwise our civilisation will fall.

The "hacks" to get semi-decent lighting are not free. Every time you want another lighting effect you need another hack. The hacks are getting more elaborate and complicated as peo…

But it’s just a case of how bad: really bad, or really really bad. When a basketball team can get tests, but ordinary citizens can’t, that is not a healthcare system, it’s a wealth…

The start of the article is simply wrong. It was forseen, and some governments have handled it well. Just because the US is a shitshow, no need to tarnish the rest of the world wit…

I wonder if the extra sensors are to stop it accelerating into stationary objects like the Tesla does.

here f'n here. Most of the time text would be more useful than iconography. Even when you don't understand the language, text and iconography are about the same - some squiggly lin…

Sometimes as an adult you need to suck it up and provide for your family, working in a small industry, at a small business, getting bullied at work every day because unless you ret…
