Very well put. And yes I assumed using the same key. the way I like to think about it is that if two completely independent schemes didn't maintain their randomness when combined OTP would be broken and of course that's not the

I'd imagine that funding and investments are a way to pressure research to favor your stance as a company. While think tanks can operate under their own rules, as an investor you'd probably not want to spend more money if the resu

vertical monitor is a blessing and a curse at times. For just coding, it's great because I have more lines to reference at once. However when I show the directory tree for my projects my width is small and sometimes hard to deal with.

While I might only need one window to code and test/run things (using command line and vim), I still have to communicate. Even if you want to use only one program, if you are on a team you still have to tab back and forth to handle com

I'm guilty of printing spec sheets and physically holding them up along side my code. I haven't touched embedded systems in a while so I don't anymore, but I agree some things are best read side-by-side.

I use both. When I am in the office I have almost the same setup you describe. Code on the right on a vertical monitor and the program itself on the left. However when I am on my laptop at home it's not that bad, it's just a bit m

If anyone was curious why the instruction address didn't match up, it's because he read the instruction identifier wrong. It's also totally counterintuitive and you have to essentially read the full documentation to get to an

So then I guess my takeaway is then that there's great and poor working expectations and conditions in both areas. I found the US to be a highly negative experience and don't wish the stress on anyone. Being able to go home at nig

While I don't feel that there is risk of brain drain because of the reasons listed in the article, I do believe there is that risk. To be honest, even though many European countries don't pay as much as the US for the same job, I

I think the bad idea stigma stems from people XORing from the same source. That totally is a bad idea, but if two sources are wholly independent, the maximum entropy in the combined systems is maintained. To the people that just say it&#x27

I'm guessing they use this alongside CSPRNGs. Would make sense given the theorem that states any random number XORed with even highly-ordered input maintains its entropy.

Even if this were the case, then it's still very easy to control the market because of the authorship fees coupled with the drive toward publishing in subscription-model journals (thanks again to Impact Factor). Maybe your advisor took

How does this doom subscription journals? I mean it would be nice but realistically it just means they move to exploit the university subscriptions since the professors can't admit use of illegally obtained copies. They can further exp

This is what I remember and it was a really classic example even in Schneiers book. But yeah easy overlay method was just picking a picture with the number of pixels >= number of encrypted message bits. Make the LSB of each pixel equal t

Could just be the California style. Or finance. Don't really know any other office locales so this could be true.

A lot of vulnerabilities like this are found with fuzzing. Same with poor encryption schemes. Depends what your definition of clever is but normally fuzzing is an intermediate research step to just see what response you get as you change in

It is so amazing how quickly he was able to resolve this tool. 2 weeks to build a very specialized tool AND perform the optimizations on the code. What am I doing with my life?

I think the difference here is that numpy is not flaunting its speed as a benefit of using python. They are very open that they were bringing the performance of BLAS and LAPACK to python.

fosho. Will look into those, but I guess my question is if it's worth practicing some development for embedded devices in rust to switch jobs or if most are still using C and I shouldn't waste the time. EDIT: if anyone can answer

I have also been looking to get back into bare metal programming professionally (I miss the torture). Did you see an immediate switch to rust or is this a rare unicorn project in a sea of C/ASM code for embedded devices?
