I have only basic knowledge of this but it feels like it should be possible to mathematically prove the correctness of bignum implementation, even if it's in C, no? And it would be very valuable work too.

I heard somewhere on the internet (actually /r/crypto) that after being bought by Facebook, they are cancelling or backdooring it. Sounds like conspiracy to me but then again it's Facebook...

Wow, I feel really sorry for all Kzakhstan citizens. Also, this is a great example of 'rubber-hose cryptoanalysis' - who cares about 4096 RSA or whatnot if the government can just beat you until you oblige...

This problem makes me very sad, because of all the affected people in the region, because of the poor orangutans and because of losing hundreds of years old trees in the rainforest. But could it be solved if you think about it from this dir

Look up Tragedy of the Commons. That's how capitalism works in the real world that we need to share.

Wait, how do I prevent automatic update to Win10? I actually like the UI but the system Does Not Work (tm) on my hardware (I tried). I'm finding it hard to believe MS is going to auto-brick my laptop overnight.

You just run your Ethereum client on your machine and use it to verify the data on the blockchain.

I would avoid using .zip file format encryption, who knows how safe that is. PGP as encryptor would probably be a better choice.

lol I actually wrote PacMan in "DHTML" back then when DHTML actually was a thing... The source seems to be lost, it required IE4 to run anyway...

I'm with you on this one. As a diver, seeing all this f ing garbage in the sea makes me angrysad. I have had some success telling my friends about this problem (don't be too annoying with it) but I think the real solution is a pl

With std::unique_ptr (you can set the deleter) and ScopeGuard you don't need to create new types for every type of resource. I respectfully disagree with leaks not being a problem.

First time I see this. I understand jack of it but it's really amazing. On one side, it seems not too different from an abacus (it's just a machine!), on the other side there's a connection to the processor that I use right n

Eh, obviously. Now imagine my surprise when I came to Hong Kong and started to see candidates' current salary on their CVs without even being asked for it. Not to mention that many companies do 'require' it. Next time I shoul

That article is extremely outdated and by today standards quite ill-informed. Many of its arguments could be equally made for error codes. Try some of these instead: http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/C

As an Eastern European programmer I'm actually offended by your 'argument'.

A trained neural network is like a horrible huge spaghetti code ball you've inherited after a programmer ran over by a bus that for some miraculous reason happens to be working mostly correctly. However, you won't be able to under

Or maybe not, I think they have automated crash reporting (I even used their library, breakpad) but my Chrome has been very consistent in crashing on Windows wakeup for over a year now.

The benefit of TrueCrypt over LUKS is that it's portable to Windows and Mac.

And it's also the only reasonable and free option for this. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I've tried)

Since Tinder already shows you almost nothing else but photos, we are already in the situation you describe. OTOH, there's always a gradient, not everyone can have the prettiest girls.

I just downloaded 360 secure browser (into a VM, I'm not crazy :)) and checked. It does display a warning but still loads the website immediately. Also, I was unable to find a way to display the certificate.

That's what my university did (Masaryk University Brno). It taught Haskell in the first semester. I, already programming in other stuff, was delighted to see a new interesting thing. Other students who already did some coding (PHP usua

Yes, I try to socialize more, to do more sporty activities. I consider my week ideal if I leave my laptop in the office 6 out of 7 days and only spend the nights in my apartment. That could also answer the How? portion of your question. I&#

I really like the layout of the controls, it's a mix between infographics & some movie-like GUI and it works pretty well.
