I expect it will still exist, after all, there is both AskUbuntu.SE and ubuntuforums.com. It might start seeing less activity though.

Check out the status reports to the Apache Board of Directors ( http://stdcxx.apache.org/status/ ): (05/11) No changes. Stdcxx continues to be dormant. There was a flurry of emails…

I agree that an off-by-one error is not a huge deal in most cases, but cryptography is one of those places where you cannot get it wrong . The programmers, or a employee well-verse…

The URL in the location bar seems to update with the steps you've done (here's one showing the first construction: http://www.sciencevsmagic.net/geo/#0A1.1L0.1A0.3L0.3L1 ). Undo/Re…

No notable mathematician has considered one prime since the early 20th century (of course, I'm oversimplifying, see [1] for more information). [1]: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals…

Diminishing returns: The amount of mine-able bitcoins decreases overtime, as well as the amount of reward decreasing as the hashing power of the network increases. Assuming the pri…

I highly recommend reading the explanation on how this is significant, it goes into more depth about timing attacks: http://cr.yp.to/antiforgery/cachetiming-20050414.pdf

Another very interesting part of the article is the call for the decryption of the SMP source code: http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2013/06/there-was-a-time-befo...

Go does not have constant time string comparisons by default. The crypto/subtle package supplies constant time comparisons.

a) That solution is sometimes implanted. The problem is: its slow, very, very, slow. It is not nearly as fast as regular integer arithmetic. (Also, +, -, /, and * aren't called axi…

Assuming the digits of pi are randomly distributed, any finite digit sequence can be found in pi. The probability any sequence of length d is found in N digits of pi is 1 - 1/exp(N…

I hope that ICANN accepts a small amount of these. Isn't this the point of subdomains? Why can't ABC just use foo.abc.com (or foo.abc.go.com) instead of foo.abc? The new TLDs are c…

Out of the 3000 repositories which I estimate to be affected by this issue (using Google and eliminating some common techniques used to circumvent the problem), I estimate 1600 of …

I have no problem with old issues or vulnerabilities being posted, of course, especially when they are very widespread such as in this case. Note that not all of those results are …

I've already counted 90+ authors and contributors from a _brief_ history of finite simple groups, using [1]. This includes "et. al", from which I have assumed best practice of APA …
