I find it to be the exact opposite. Replying in-line is great when it's a short email between a two people. But if the email is to a wide audience, has multiple back and forths, or…

Maybe I'm biased, but this whole article is heavily premised on investments and development in cryptocurrency systems being important, which is not a view I share. Still, is it VCs…

I'm confused how this was able to give out money before the new code was submitted to production. The author claims that both she and her coworker tested it before the code was sub…

This news about not trusting some software is posted on a news website that hijacks your back button for more ad views.

I'm glad to hear that! The style is very popular in the drawn maps I've seen. I haven't been interested in maps for long and don't pay too much attention to digital map programs. I…

I never read those magazines and I can't say I'm an expert on dungeon map styles, but it's the hatching done in the dungeon walls that Dyson is known for (e.g., https://dysonlogos.…

The "old school" style they're advertising is mostly based off of Dyson Logo's maps. I think it's interesting that this seem to come out after Dyson started teasing a similar progr…

Facebook Messenger also used to check if you were sending an image uploaded by one of your friends. If Alice uploaded a photo, but didn't share it with Bob, you wouldn't be able to…

I like how a site with autoplay ads is reporting this.

Why would they do that? Are you assuming these companies will want to block Linux users out of some random, malicious spite?

The NYT bestseller list has been a horrible indicator of what's selling for a while. You can often see well-known authors make the list weeks before their books are out due to mass…

I created an updated version of that repo for a research project. Submitting a PR is on my to-do list. The changes needed to get search working aren't too bad once you figure out h…

I was part of a group that analyzed some of the security claims of the Mylar system. You can read about what we found here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/920.pdf

But Uber and AirBnB are giant companies that actively flaunt city policies. I imagine OP's friend probably doesn't have an army of lawyers and probably wasn't aware he was violatin…

This is embarrassingly bad. I know memory is cheap and mostly plentiful, but to have this as a bug for 5+ years is horrible. It's as though Chrome is going the route of web pages a…

One of the authors here. There was some great work from the Max-Planck Institute that came out recently which looked into this[0]. They examined images that used black or white box…

One of the authors here. I couldn't find any library that carries out the P3 operations, but it was pretty easy to modify existing software[0] to achieve this. [0] http://www.ijg.o…

I think that was the sentence where you promise not to cheat.

Last I checked, YouTube still does not support encryption when broadcasting a live stream.

This is probably partially in response to some of the issues that were discussed here: https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37

I think there's a difference between 1) a city being a "startup hub", 2) a city being saturated with startups, and 3) a city being completely run by tech companies. I see this as i…

The article makes it seem like fans bought his ticket because it was easy. I wonder how many tickets he sold due to his site decisions and how many he sold due to his popularity.
