My 'gut' intuition is that doing that is the same as applying the cipher of length 2, then the cipher of length 3, 5, 7 each in turn invidually, but I haven't had the chance to dig out cyberchef to confirm this. Edit: Indeed:

I'm the same, I find TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O reasonably comfortable in comparison to the other titles. I haven't completed either, I've almost completed TIS-100, but shenzhen I/O really pushes me way beyond my com

I prefer the term "best practice" to capture what companies should do but typically don't adhere to all best practices for everything.

I see it's been fixed by releasing 6.9.2. Does this mean you can now "brick" people's projects by sneaking npm@6.9.1 into their package.json?

You're right, I screwed up the arithmetic making it look like something it's not. It's just a regular sub-martingale with 'positive' expectation as you say.

The expectation of a single flip is 'positive' ( > 1 ), the expectation of n flips is 'negative' ( < 1). My layman reading of this is that this 'appears' to be a violation of martingale theory because thi

That was published 2004, I'd be interested to hear if that's still the case given the 10x cost decrease in photovoltaic panels since then.

I'm not an electron hater, but when only using 300mb of memory while idle is something to boast about, they may have a point.

If I were a crypto startup I'd be more worried about insider threat than anything sophisticated. Protecting against a rogue employee also adds defence against employee computer compromise.

You're right, in that situation you're not borrowing from others, you're borrowing from your own capital. That said, it is a little different, because without margin you can ride out any position, but with margin you get marg

Typescript only checks all that at compile time though. The complaint here is that even a typed json.Parse<T> :(json:string)=>T will not actually give any type checking when you pass it a string containing any schema.

Visual Studio is an IDE. A better example would be the .net SDK which is a few hundred MB, but is far more featured. The npm ecosystem is more comparable to nuget packages, but they are generally at a far more sane scope.

This is the killer reason why I hate doing anything with CSS. There's close to zero predictability. CSS has no isolation / encapsulation, no control flow and no local state. Every line of code can modify and affect every other lin

Iterating from the tail has other advantages, such as if you want to remove items from the list. With negative iteration you don't need to do any special handling. But that is an optimisation for development time rather than run-time,

When you have a command so confusing that you need an entire website dedicated to a single command, and still need to warn against using it, then perhaps you've got the UX wrong.
