By the plain* meaning of "hash", it can't, it's a symmetric cipher. * Where "plain" excludes a technical or mathematical definition that might include e.g. troll_hash(x) { return 9; }

I don't know the numbers, especially as companies have pushed hard to change upgrade habits. But unless they're forced by automatic upgrades, most people wait years to upgrade. Even if they are upgrading because they get new hardw

So my concept for how it works was you're putting the random bits into the mantissa while holding the exponent constant, then normalizing the result. Is that accurate? Is there any concern there for never getting the smallest possible

The first step would be figuring out what's in there, so maybe look at Glue[1] and see if it can determine your existing schema. But usually you need to run run arbitrary code against the contents of a large S3 bucket, and that gets tr

I'm not sure the idea of a "beginner" language should be a design goal, and I don't think Haskell being a hard langauge to learn means it's a bad langauge. Easy as a design goal has led to many languages like AppleS

I think it's more of a challenge when you have someone who is more skilled as a subject matter expert than as a programmer, which may be the case when you're the tech person or even founder of a small business. That person may not

It's a bit judgmental, though the original complaint is also a bit whiny. The reality is that Turtle couldn't make the business case to port to Cocoa at any point for 18 years, probably because most of their customers were Windows

A company is selling a product that provides a clear value to a specific audience; they're likely to be far more responsive and effective than Apple could be.

In theory, if you give a bank an instruction, you are the principal and they are the agent, and that means they have to follow your instructions pertaining to your account. If it's a written instruction, they do need to authenticate it

Same here. I never had strong feelings about streaming services or TV, but a year ago or so I realized I was rarely watching Netflix much and cancelled my subscription. Other activities had implicitly filled in the time.

I can't recall it either; and at 5 fields it's a case study of the problem of positional syntax. Even if we're a minority, we're a significant minority who find we have to check the man page to either read or write, thus

My theory of literally is that it's being used to indicate a literal rendition of the speaker's mental state. So it doesn't mean figuratively, it means "this exclamation is the most direct rendering of how I feel about t

I think it helps with tooling, linters, refactoring tools, code generation, etc., if you have a "standard" lexer and parser. The reason being these tools can rely on reasonably standard parsing libraries to take a spec in a common

It's due to how language and entropy work; basically people naturally tend to abbreviate frequently used terms. Some languages have banned positional arguments, like Obj C, but these do get a reputation for being verbose. And verbosity

You can use fluent interfaces to get past two args: myObject.doThing(a).toAthing(b) Though that requires a good amount of boilerplate on the part of the library author.
