This is an interesting argument. Maybe 10 years as a lifespan would be better than 100 years since it'd force checks every year. With the 100 year lifespan, people will always assume it can be done next year instead of this year.

Yep, basically while it's entirely possible (as per Murphy's Law) that there'll be an accidental collision, the likelihood is close to zero. It's a fair risk to be taking.

I can't believe sites think it's acceptable to do that. I get it, algorithms like Bcrypt have a size limit. But there are reasonably secure ways to get around that, for instance using HMAC to Sha256 the password before Bcrypting i

I don't know what result they were referring to, but I've often heard it said that AI of current types so never be capable of the same types of cognition that we can do. That's not to say we can't create a different type

My thoughts exactly. It'd be good if multiple separate herds could be tested, but that would get pretty expensive.

To clarify, for C++ specifically.

I think they mean that people keep coming along and saying "the existing N competing standards suck, let's make a new one everyone can use" and now there's N+1 competing standards. A reference to this xkcd https:/&

I'm sure when someone gives you the choice between continued employment and following the ethical standard you'll choose to follow the ethical standard. I mean, don't get me wrong, there are clear scenarios where I think many

I mean, a GPU is only faster if it's doing many operations in parallel. So you can definitely have code that is faster on a CPU than on a GPU. And there'd be borderline cases where it's faster on a GPU but only by a bit.

You're aware of Y Combinator, right? Plenty of money to squeeze from that (roughly $100bn)...

by ShinTakuya 6y ago
Yeah I guess that's a clearer way of explaining it. I thought that part of the explanation was clear but re-reading it, I can see that was the main point that was being missed by the person I responded to.

The answer is that you're thinking of it the wrong way. See it this way: You make 3 sales of $100. One gets refunded. You get paid $200 - $90 = $110 instead of $140, because in practice Apple pays you in batches and doesn't pay im

Memory speed is usually in MHz, not Hz. They're just making fun of the mistake.

So the "rc" in vimrc means "run commands". And while the term gets abused, by and large what's in vimrc can just be run directly by yourself in vim without a file. All the config file really does is run a list of co

More likely they know most users won't do it, and it probably aids in some SEO or something.

I honestly thought BTRFS had added this as a feature until I read the linked page.

Sounds like they've dropped support for newer regions, though. Which is a shame. Seems like a decent tool.

Depends on the environment. If RAM or CPU time is at a premium then no. But that's so rarely an issue these days, especially if you separate UI from the main processing thread.

I feel like they did, but a quick Google can't turn it up - strange. But I agree they could have been more clear about it. Just one of many issues with how they've handled this situation.

As far as I'm aware, the Australian government got permission from Singapore to make the fork in that way, so as long Singapore didn't accept external contributions (or if they did, under a contributor's agreement) then they&

So is it not interesting that the US went to great efforts to keep the same corrupt government in place that attacked them just because the alternative was socialism?

by ShinTakuya 6y ago
Yeah that's a fair point. So the security is worse in that sense, so many ways to leak it. It'd be insanity to put sensitive info in the query params either way. It's just not the appropriate place for them.

No, https encrypts the URL as well (although the domain itself can be leaked via DNS). But in most respects query params are no different to the body security wise. The main difference is that if you bookmark it, you may end up storing your

You didn't try deleting cookies, or finding the preferences page, or Googling "phone browser stuck in German"? Don't get me wrong, I've had my moments where I've done similar things for years. I just have to sa

A valid stance. Incidentally, that's why I've never had any interest in working at a certain couple of FAANG companies.

Perhaps filtering out the people who can neither solve it nor Google it is enough of a filter by itself. Not suggesting it should bypass more than initial screening, naturally.

I've never seen it, but other people in my (non-US) country claim to have seen it. I always assumed it was either my taste in porn or the fact that I'm usually logged out and regularly clear tracking cookies.

The point is that if you crack it, they should send you to some unique link. Even if it's not super hard, it at least proved some level of technical competency and do should allow you to prioritised interview access (maybe at least ski

There's a lot of anecdotal evidence for people experiencing strange flu-like illnesses all around the world as early as January. It's possible GP was infected with the weaker strain that was said to have existed (although I'm

Where did you hear that? Decent progress has been made on one of the PRs and the issue is still open last I checked. It was originally slated for the previous major/minor version but it got bumped to 4.0 last year. Would be interested
