Last time I needed really fast hashing I used FNV. How does it compare to xxhash?

Bit bucket is great if you are ok with pushes taking 1 minute and webhooks taking 20 minutes. Sadly, wish I was joking. But it happens all too often.

Whatsapp probably did.

True. But every language has gone through this issue. Node is particularly vulnerable to weak prng seeding due to relying on forking to support multiple processes. Am I that old and grumpy to expect people to be aware of the history here?

If you want a random entry from an array, Math.random is fine. Anyone who doesn't know that prng's are broken for things like uuids shouldn't be in charge.

This unfortunately shows you know little about the forward momentum in the email standards. There have been many changes in the last few years that you just didn't see. DMARC creates policies on authentication. DANE creates policies on

You have to install a certificate if you want it to be encrypted.

Sorry Tony, you're absolutely right. Got my acronyms wrong. Thank you :) (The parent is Tony Finch, a very smart email guy who runs email for the university of Cambridge)

Not if the receiving smtp server implements DMARC

by baudehlo 11y ago
SMTP with TLS doesn't leak any metadata except the connecting IP address. And with DMARC you can mandate it. Calls for whole new protocols for email are usually made by people who don't understand the email ecosystem as it current

Facebook messenger has group messaging. Just use that. You can message people who you aren't "friends" with.

Still confused (I got a D in economics so help me out). Can you elaborate more?

Why does GDP matter if you're calculating individual wealth and thus purchasing power? (Genuine question btw - not disagreeing just interested)

You can't beat haze no matter what the lens is. Except maybe in space.

I still am yet to understand how a self driving car deals with a cop directing traffic. Or even a construction worker holding traffic back from a backing up backhoe. But maybe I am not aware of the genius of the technology yet.

The system is great. Only reason I have had to dislike it is that they would forward messages out of order. I think that might be fixed now after I told them to look into lamport clocks. It caused some problems with forwarding to Intercom.

This does seem like a good case for small claims court against Honeywell. It's probably limited in what they could recover but they could at least get some of that back.

No because their businesses won't work if they don't understand that stuff. It took us a while to learn it in the anti spam world but not that long in the big scheme of things.

That's not weak typing. That's type coercion. You're thinking of JavaScript in this particular issue.

The opposite is true. In Perl 5 passing a hash to a function requires mallocing a new shallow copy of that hash. In Perl 6 this would be the equivalent of passing a reference to the hash, which would only require mallocing a scalar.

Well sure and even in Perl 5's lifetime there have been depracations. But you're nit-picking. The majority of Perl 4 code ran under Perl 5.
173.
by baudehlo 11y ago
But Perl 5 was (and still is) backwards compatible with Perl 4. This is a whole new language, and should probably be called Larry, or something.

In some sense I absolutely agree. There's a difference to be seen in requests for existing data and the realtime feeds we now know exist. But I guess something could be considered better than nothing. Europeans definitely do have bette

The flip side is it's a better place to be a free citizen for the most part. You can ask companies for all the data they have on you and they are legally compelled to comply.

The Perl 6 camel book will probably be published like TAOCP. /s?

Not just well mapped but also what do they do when there are temporary detours? I can't imagine a situation where an automated driving car copes well with a temporary human based stop/go situation (without signs - I'm talking

I use mine for plexconnect, Netflix and AirPlay. Is there any other use missing?

by baudehlo 11y ago
I didn't miss the point - I totally get it. My point was simply to remind people that over complicating your situation and going for a "big data" store is usually a mistake when there's something that will keep your data

Absolutely. I wrote a system to provide real time signature updates to Symantec's (then MessageLabs) global anti spam infrastructure. It used UDP to send them. It worked amazingly well and distributed signatures across thousands of ser
