Odd that the client is written in C, but the server in go. I'm curious as to why the author chose to do that (along with the artisan buffer implementation).

There isn't that much boilerplate with pygame (I've taught middleschool students pygame in the past); I'm not sure if it makes sense to move things into a framework, and have a lot of configuration by convention, when the goa

There is a bit of irony here; as the article mentions, the RSA key that windows uses for updates is safe. Why is that ironic? Well, Trail of Bits also published this article last year: https://blog.trailofbits.com/2019/

So, it sounds like (please correct me if I misunderstood something) the issue is: # cache signing objects and get chain cache, chain = parse_chain_from_cert(full_cert) root = chain[-1] validate_root_authenticity(root) # go up

>However, for extreme RSA key sizes (e.g. 4096 bit) NewHope does actually outperform RSA. Yep, it's definitely a scaling thing. If it weren't then we could simply use Daniel Bernstein's (et al) proposal for Post Quantum RS

Haven't looked at the full implementation of BigCache, but typically, a cache would fetch the object and key from the data structure. If the full key doesn't match the requested key, then the cache will respond that the key is not

This will probably get much more traction once an independent group confirms it. I don't believe this article presents any new information on X17 that we haven't already heard.

If you get "tr: Illegal byte sequence" you can prepend 'LC_ALL=C ' before the 'tr' to prevent tr from trying to treat the stream as a unicode sequence.

This would seem to be consistent with the presented data; the bulk of the increase is in the West and Midwest (which I believe picked up a fair amount of the smoke from the fires). The Northeast and South are mostly the same. The article su

No. Even if Amazon had worked out an agreement with Google to run arbitrary algorithms on a 53 qubit computer; that would not be enough to run Shors algorithm (which only breaks RSA and Elliptic Curve) on normal keys. This is also pretendin

Accessibility is a big issue; I'm unsure if imgui has support for that or if it will work with the browsers built-in support for that.

This seems more like a signal/noise pollution problem. Which also means that false things are harder to correct. Showing something that is blatantly false is much harder when all information sources become jammed.

To be fair; in cattle at least, "shits and giggles" is not an entirely inaccurate description of methane production.
