I had extreme response time issue on my old phone. I recorded my screen, and I measured a reliable 3-5 60Hz frames between the touch indicator and the page scrolling. Chrome reliably had just 1. Things got a bit better over time, but unfort

I have had SCT Instant for approximately a year. However, only around half of the target banks I send money to support it currently.

I think it's extremely silly that every time buffer length vulnerabilities get discovered, people start immediately jumping how rewriting everything in rust would have stopped it. Yes, that's not wrong, but a sane (ptr, len) &quot

RPC is pretty much also a "cross-language FFI boundary", except it can fail. Of course it has some advantages, but it's hardly universally better.

The important thing when breaking backwards compatability is that it can be: - automatically done - isolated within a module As long as these are true, the issues caused by breaking compatability are minimal. It's really the Python mod

I checked it a while back, and the key patents aren't due to expire for several more years. I recall 2024, but with einks patent moat, it will probably take until the 2030s to see real alternatives in the space.

The idea of "randomness" being "used up", and then "running out of randomness", somehow. So let's look at how a hypothetical CSPRNG might work. We get our random numbers by repeatedly hashing a pool of byt

Many people have been ridiculing entropy tracking as pointless pseudeo-security vodoo for a very long time. https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7441-the_plain_simple_reality_of... This talk from 2015 springs to mind to me as t

I think it should have been pretty obvious to most people that V was never a serious language project. Because of successful marketing, an amateurs toy language project somehow became a viral success, which it has been unsuccessfully trying

The overuse of employee drug testing should be forbid too, unless there are specific good reasons for it. In fact I think it's pretty revealing as to how poorly our society treats and thinks about people suffering from addictions that

I think the only good way to do this is off of the back of C++ Modules. Having it as a compiler flag means that all files in a project, including libraries, must be compliant. With C++ modules putting an end to the naive #include, translati

This seems kind of silly to me because: 1. Does the same thing not also apply to the blog post he authored, which contains the exact same points? 2. Is a talk where you get a big stage to preach your opinion from and take two questions at t

I think if Moxie had framed this from a perspective of "centralization has some advantages, so how can we make a centralized service as safe as possible" the outcry would be much less. Because signal is genuinely doing some very g

by ATsch 7y ago
domain fronting is also something that you can do with any service, it does not require centralization. You can still use it on top of the censorship advantages decentralization gives you.

I think the more important point here isn't about ethics and punishment, but incentives. The larger a system is and the stronger it incentivises something, the more effort you're going to have to put into enforcing the status. Thi

Well, before, I had docstrings that describe the interface and what types it would accept. Now I do the same, more compactly and easier, using type hints. And since it's machine readable, linters can how help you to identify some simpl

The non-technical topics couldn't be more relevant today. The idea that tech just exists in a bubble, and that one does not need to concern themselves with any ethical or moral implications is causing more harm than ever before. Dismis

One big reason is that the core matrix protocol is incredibly simple to implement. With a good http library, it's a few lines of code to get a basic plaintext client going. However, there is a lot of surface area to cover. So that&#x27

How much fairer and frictionlessier do they become for every picosecond? Is there a limit to fairness and frictionlessyness? Arguing about HFT feels like you're questioning people about why they're spending billions on excavating

While I think these are incredibly important and extremely neglected in the industry, these ethical concerns are really something different from the spirit of the "Things I won't work with" series, which is mainly about safet

Nothing, apart from IPv6' ginormous address space. However, I have yet to see proof of any provider that actually deployed home routers this way.
