Unlikely. The digital signatures bitcoin uses are regarded as secure, (there could be attacks if we get quantum computers.) The issue here was the software didn't put in enough ran…

Is that a reference to https://www.kohlerhealth.com/dekoda/ ?

JSON String requires escaping of control characters. .toString() on a String is (hopefully) the identity.

So, maybe we could consider a "White Hat" ransomware group that takes the money and also leaks the data, so that long term no one bothers to pay which ultimately disincentivizes ra…

Somewhat off topic, but I've always wanted to know _who_ gets my tax dollars more than what they were spent on. For example, a middle class salary to someone building bombs in Ohio…

I'm not sure I follow your workflow exactly. If PR B is merged, then I'd expect PR A to already be merged (I'd normally branch off of A to make B.) That said, after the squash merg…

It helps if you click the link of the operator(s) under TinyAPL. For example Blackbird goes to https://tinyapl.rubenverg.com/docs/primitive/atop Which seems to be function composit…

Reminds me of this quote which I recently found and like: > look, I'm sorry, but the rule is simple: if you made something 2x faster, you might have done something smart if you mad…

Yes, I really wanted to post the comment and I (wrongly) thought this post got blocked by my procrastination setting. Apologies for the noise.

I happen to just stumble across this article https://felixbarbalet.com/simple-made-inevitable-the-economi... extolling the virtues of Clojure. It specifically calls out Go for not …

This is interesting to think about: For gold I'd say the demand is coming from both industries and from people who want it as a store of value. If it was only used as an industrial…

I'd be good to give an example of where the 'only if' doesn't apply. If only to clear up the confusion.

of course 9.99...(repeating) is mathematically 10, so I have a hard time being against allowing that.

Half a quarter.

Is gas sold as a whole penny amounts in those locations? Where I am it's always something and 9/10ths of a cent.

I think I might be missing something basic, but if you actually wanted to do a Fourier transform on the sound hitting your ear, wouldn't you need to wait your entire lifetime to co…

I agree. Ideally we could just increase the tax credits so it's large enough to cover the childcare expenses (and other necessities), and let the families decide what is best. And …

One thought I had recently: Their shareholders are probably mostly the same people. So why even compete?

Just a thought: Make the velocity of the path constant. There should be some way to take a derivative an set it to a constant and solve for z. ( or really reparameterize the curve …

I happen to also have thought about this. Effects would listen to the global state and if needed do their side effect and update the state. As a type it's just State -> State, with…

I've been toying with an idea of a pattern. I'm curious as to if it has a name. I'll write a blog post once I have an app using it. In the meantime, it's (roughly): - No Hooks. - D…

Reminds me of the Jonathan Richman classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Pg9IGgQpY

Is .git-blame-ignore-revs what you are looking for?

The reminds me of the pain I felt seeing how the blacktop was painted at the local elementary school: They had a 6 x 6 grid with 26 letters, then the digits 1-9, then an extra X to…
