It was my understanding that the asymmetric key pair was generated locally, and only the public key was exchanged. I am unsure about whether or not this is a requirement of the Sig…

Android/iOS will always have a chokehold on their users. The Librem 5 is a potential alternative, a Matrix-integrated and fully open source phone. Although it still has some rough …

I would most definitely be interested. I always assumed that certain algorithms are better suited for certain string sizes, but I was never sure which ones. The ideal implementatio…

Thanks for the feedback! I did forget to change the version in the documentation, updated that now. As for the usability of the docs, Doxygen isn't exactly known for its intuitive …

I just really needed a string library written in C, and it didn't seem as though there were many options. The first thing I found was the Simple Dynamic Strings library, but it was…

Most of the STL is header only, which is what the library is compared to in the benchmarks. Both would be just as likely to get inlined.

As it turns out, I actually have the Boyer-Moore string searching algorithm as one of the planned features in the Project section on GitHub.

Unicode is supported with UTF-8, only different character types aren't supported because generics are messy in C. I thought of accepting void* to support wchar_t and others, but so…

Hey there, creator of the library here. Strangely enough my initial post about this on HN received no attention, but better late than never! If any of you have some questions or fe…

From my understanding, the primary purpose of this is for backup and syncing your Google Drive files between multiple devices, which is very similar in nature to Syncthing. Is ther…

Although this is fairly nice, I would recommend Syncthing over this. It has the benefit of not relying on any third party to store your data, it's all exclusively on your devices, …

Although it does help, I would say its only a bit faster than actually just setting a breakpoint of where you want the code to stop, and running till then, unlike Microsoft's examp…

Doesn't load in Canada either, at least for me.

>Vim IMproved Oh, so you are using an improved version of Vi IMproved? ;)

Cannot agree with this enough. When I first started looking for a VPN, the only source of information I found were these disingenuous websites that based their reviews off how much…

Oh, I thought this was some kind of play on words for the Wine software, turns out it's literally wine.

Aren't the point of the standards to ensure there is no room for security holes? It seems kind of strange to make the security dependant on the implementation. Imo, it should be im…
