At the moment that what you have to say sounds less interesting than playing the trex game, you know you've failed.

Interesting. I always assumed divers had 100% oxygen tanks, but I guess percentage and pressure are different things. But with that in mind, wouldn't a great percent of oxygen just mean there is less of the other gases, but the relativ

Why would 30% oxygen be hard to deal for humans? I didn't think a greater oxygen concentration really mattered to us.

Very few games are open sourced, specially AAA games. So, it won't be easy to find evidence. I think the point is more that it's more sustainable and it can keep up indefinitely.

Those statistics are from wings of liberty though (10 years ago). Looking through the playlist you sent the average length seems closer to 15 minutes.

Just more to the point. The MLB has that weird monopoly in the US only, but there are no shortage of leagues outside of the US. The same can't be said about fortnite, starcraft, counter strike, etc. Those are world wide monopolies (it&

I think the point is more that you can't play without blizzard's consent. You can't just download the game and host your own server to play with your friends. If blizzard changes the rules (makes a patch) you need to play wit

Anyone can play football (even if maybe they can't use the name?) using FIFA rules and even incorporate their own. However, you cannot legally play starcraft 2 without blizzard's permission.

I share the same feeling as OP. Open source games can essentially live forever and others can pick up where the previous entity left off. For instance, starcraft 2 still has big mass of players, even though it's on life support (server

I think tracking users without their consent is already illegal.

We are not even sure it exists, so anything is possible. All we know is there something we can’t see or detect in any way, except that it affects on how fast the galaxies spin. But it could be that our models are just wrong.

It's not unreasonable to assume we are alone. We have no evidence that we aren't. For me that's the strongest claim. What I'm saying is that not seeing any evidence doesn't reduce the probability of no other intelli

I think it's not unreasonable that we are sort of early to the party. Earth has existed for about 1/3 of the lifetime of the universe (and I think it was only around 8 billion years ago that the galaxy started looking like it does

If you try to call computeHmac from checkHmac surely you'll get some sort of error or warning, wouldn't you? You have no guarantee computeHmac will your secret will be treated as a secret by computeHmac, if its signature is simply
408.
by aflag 4y ago
I was just considering a nicer interface for computeHmac at a library level, but if you don't have that, you could still just implement checkHmac using your Secret class and call it with checkHmac(Secret(str), message, mac).

by aflag 4y ago
I think I'm just not creative enough to think of features that need to be implemented by the language and not easily done at a library level. You could prevent the access to secret's contents by creating the appropriate class, but
410.
by aflag 4y ago
You could overload computeHmac's return value so that it would return either a string or a secret, then you could use it directly with checkHmac, if you wanted, or as a string in other applications.
411.
by aflag 4y ago
This is sort of classic problem. First, you need to assume the attacker is capable of measuring checkMac's runtime reliably. Second, you also need to assume the attacker is able to control the message and the mac, but not the secret. H

What makes that different from creating a Secret class that's just a container class and defines its own methods? I just don't see what it is that requires a new language to accomplish and couldn't just be implemented as a li

OP said that we can’t possibly create a system which will result in equality of outcome, while quoting that 80% of the world are poorer than the average American. In that context, equality of outcome means that the whole world shares the sa

Oddly enough, in the iPadOS 15.7.1 at least if I say "Hey siri, set a timer for 20 minutes" it will say "20 minutes, starting now". Then if I say "Hey siri, set a timer for 5 minutes" it says "there's

The main issue for me is that they are not stateful. Perhaps the main thing in the role of an assistant is to keep state. You want someone or something that understands you and what you want, so that you don't have to put too much thou

Also, I think I'd rather just add stuff to my shopping list so that I can at a later time order everything together, rather than have multiple deliveries.
