That ‘dude’ is the UK’s GCHQ. Of Bletchley Park fame.

Both ways are just notation. There’s nothing more real about 3/10 compared to 0.3. Telling you otherwise might have worked as a educational “shorthand”, but there are no mathematic…

So the authors tries to be rigorous, but again falls into the same traps that the people who claim 0.9… != 1 fall. “0.999… = 1 - infinitesimal” But this is simply not true. Only th…

This comment exemplifies the puritanical view that nakedness is somehow bad or impure. Notice that the men in the paintings of Vallejo are also almost completely naked, hacking awa…

$20 per year subscription? That seems pretty steep for what the app does.

Libsodium was independently audited by respectable reviewers. OP is spreading FUD for some very weird reason. Libsodium is also extremely robust. The only crypto project I’ve seen …

This blog post is from 2022.

I agree. If you look at the Swift version of the library, it will generate and prepend the nonce for you automatically (if you use the right overloaded method). It will also strip …

Libsodium is an amazing crypto library. At my previous job, we used libsodium as the basis for all our crypto on web, iOS and android. This after a myriad of subtle problems and in…

It’s just OPs superiority complex for being on hacker news instead of “low-grade” Reddit.

Allowing drug users to legally and safely test their drugs results in more safety for individuals and less costs for society. In the Netherlands, private organizations have been te…

Halfway logarithmically. Like 100 is halfway between 10 and 1000? That’s your argument irt the pricing? If killing third parties wasn’t the goal, it’s very convenient that it kille…

I think the thesis is wrong. It’s not that the average interaction is with familiar individuals. I’ve been a mod, lurker and commenter on a lot of subreddits. And on each of those,…

Check the ‘apology’ follow up. The person claims to be schizophrenic. Even the apology mail makes no sense and is full of paranoia and read like a group stalking delusion.

No one is upset because reddit wants to make the API paid. Several 3rd party apps were looking forward to working with reddit in this regard. People are upset because: - Reddit has…

It's only a pain if you try to look at it as a JSON tree instead of a knowledge graph.

json-schema has nothing to do with JSON-LD. If you want shape constraints on your JSON-LD data, you'll need SHACL: https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/ JSON itself has a much simpler speci…

Just do some basic functional programming. And/or do some of these challenges and don't feel like a cheater if you look at other peoples solutions: https://github.com/type-challeng…

These fake-scanner pdf generators always use a huge skew. A tiny (random) bit of skewing makes it seem more genuine, but using the same exact large rotation puts it in an uncanny v…

To be fair, their site is notoriously unstable and will break if fans look at it wrong.

> You still need to know CSS. Yes. Tailwind CSS is just CSS: > A utility-first CSS framework It is not a leaky abstraction, because it isn't an abstraction. It's a only a special s…

Vue has `refs`, which are reactive proxy objects that are used for tracking things like re-rendering. Since vue does not hide the fact that something is a ref, you need to call `my…

Not so sound too negative, but to me, this actually seems terrible. Because somehow any work not behind the keyboard coding is not considered work by your standards. I don't think …

The EU is heavily investing in semantic data for education and digital identity, leaning on ontologies, RDF, json-ld and verifiable credentials. Banks, research institutes, univers…
