A minor nit-pick, most GPS chips will happily give out a position as a best-effort. The actual accuracy of the measurement is given by the dilution of position (DOP), which does not appear to be in the data shown in the blog post. This woul

Yea... this has been around for years. JSP and ASP.NET have allowed for this kind of shennanigans in their "view state" (albeit, security is a configuration option away...) mechanism. It's not hard to extend it out to things

This is quite bogus. Competition is a very real, and very lucrative phenomenon. A famous & classic counter-example of how being more competitive than your peers wins out is Toyota. Toyota won out in the 80s and 90s because their cars we

I would highly recommend reading: - A Course of Pure Mathematics (G. H. Hardy). I read this before I started my undergrad in CS/Maths. Free Online. - University Calculus (Hass, et. al.). This was reading for my first year, and co

If you can't find a product below that suits you below, MIT OCW has a course on advanced data structures which covers this, they're know as persistent data structures, and the lectures on them are very informative. Edit: The lectu

I agree that the UK Student tech scene is quite disconnected. There are quite a few computer science oriented student societies. For instance, at York (where I did my undergrad) there's HackSoc. There's an IRC channel somewhere on

There are too many ways to do something, best implement the One True Way. There's an obligatory xkcd somewhere on this...

I agree, programming is not mathematics, however, the author seems to have mixed up the act of calculation and mathematics. Bering a good human calculator is unlikely to result in stellar programs. Having a good grasp of how to arrange and

Hi, building on what a lot of other commenters have said, there are some major improvements you should consider: * Do not use plain SHA-256. Use a KDF, like PBKDF, bcrypt or scrypt. * There must be some efficient method by which I can

In a product that effectively boils down to CRUD in many places, the most time consuming thing for me so far has been one of two things: * Complex reporting requirements with an extremely vague specification on a completely normalised d

The SSL/TLS protocol unfortunately uses some known-bad constructions, which lead to intractable issues (see: BEAST, Lucky13 for examples) NaCl's goals are vastly different to those of SSL/TLS. SSL/TLS aims to provide a s

This thread seems to be generating a lot of fuss, so let me weigh in quickly. This seems to be expected behaviour for generating RSA keys. An RSA key of length 4096b does not provide you with a security level of 4096b. That is, you don&#x

I know that some of the British Ports systems are running something written in Delphi 5 that's around 20 - 25 years old for their tickets.
