Somebody more knowledgeable please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it: If you're using AES-128, if you have a random password with a 128 bits of entropy it shouldn't matter what key derivation function you use. T

I'm intrigued by "full iOS support." Does this mean it's now possible to write iOS apps using a Haskell backend?

Do you have any insight for what the security implications would be (if any) for an OS like this?

What's the easiest way to run your own dynamic DNS service with your own domain? I'm guessing something like Amazon's Route 53 with an updater script, such as https://gist.github.com/natlownes/2061658

The problem with expensive apps (just very generally speaking) is that Apple's App Store doesn't currently have a way to trial them. Even if an app is worth $200, there's no way to find that out beforehand. This is made wor

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Ultimately, you can (of course) set whatever price you like, as is your right. I don't expect to change your mind on this. I don't necessarily think the complexity argument is a good one though

It's this idea that really bothers me, I think. I don't know if the developer subscribes to this idea or not, but whenever I see an iOS app priced way differently to it's counterparts on other platforms I suspect it's ei

I would like to try Anki on iOS but the developer has decided to offer it for a price of £17.50. Considering the web version is free and the desktop version is open source, I'm not sure what's motivated this decision, and it leave

Not sure if it's too late for that; the notice said you needed to be a registered developer at the time of the WWDC announcement? Incidentally (and off-topic; apologies), does anyone know if you can sign Mac apps, e.g. to distribute ou

Is there an API for Oyster balances yet? (or planned?) I ask as someone slightly concerned by popular apps which seem to rely on you giving some third party your TFL login for them to scrape it for you... Very happy to see that TFL have don

Just bought the Mac version of this app (happy to support the dev), but a few comments: Would be nice to have some basic filters, e.g. restrict based on sender/recipient. It hasn't finished searching my mail yet, but if it turns o

That's nice here, but in the UK they just upped the price from £49 to £79 along with the introduction of Amazon Instant Video, and that was definitely spun as "look at all this extra content you're getting!" Nevermind if

Really cool tutorial. It also looks like the author has a pledge drive ending today, and he/she is really close to hitting their funding goal. Would be a shame to miss it while being so close, especially for something that looks so pro

No problem; I look forward to seeing it. Also, I just read in your marketing material that you support "connecting multiple simulation codes." As I'm sure you're aware, this is actually a very subtle problem and an activ

Cool demonstration of Rescale; I hadn't come across them before. It's an interesting market, and certainly an underserved one (I say this as someone who's idly considered running similar calculations on high-end AWS instances

Does anyone know if this is England-only, or if it affects Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland too? How does the opt out work if you've been in multiple areas/GPs/etc.?

Couldn't agree more. To quote a favourite author, "After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." I believe this to be true.

So I decided to finally fill out my Academia.edu profile recently and found there was no easy way to add papers. You could upload them or "import" them from another website, neither of which I could do due to the ambiguous copyrig

Completely agreed; I was just providing another example for how the colour of large objects does not necessarily have anything to do with the colour of small objects. Thanks for the added context :)

Indeed. For another example, photos like this are a classic example of how particle size can affect colour: http://education.mrsec.wisc.edu/background/quantum_dots/imag... (solutions of CdSe nanoparticles in order

Thanks for the info. I just realised too (thanks to a friend) that the kanji might originate because "corona" sounds similar to "kuruma" (meaning "car"), and that's why the "bo" kanji has the &qu

Thanks for the link :) Do you happen to know how to download the pdf off scribd? It looks like you need to pay scribd to do it (or to read past the first few pages), which doesn't quite seem fair since I'm assuming they don&#x27
