I'm not sure that argument against it holds up. For all we know some Deuterium and Palladium are hanging out in the cosmos undergoing fusion, and we would have no idea about it. There are real room temperature fusion methods[0] that ca

Anecdotal maybe, but I got interested in computer science because of video games. I learned programming from messing around with the online game Roblox, which is essentially a game engine with Lua scripting support. I played lots of games

Am I missing something, or if they use AES for decryption it would be trivial to crack, since it's symmetrical? He says: >It is unlikely that developers directly deal with this encryption; I assume that the libSceSaveData module han

I've never heard of this before! Is it advertised anywhere? Our IT dept has been cloning and reimaging for years and this is the first I've seen it.

The real lesson from this is that you pretty much never actually want a full disk backup. Why would you copy over all the operating system files and partition scheme when you can instead do a clean install and clone over your home directo

Rust also has Haskell's typeclasses in the form of its traits. I don't think anyone would go around claiming it's "Haskell based". When I think Haskell, I think lazy evaluation and only providing purely functional t

Darn it! I signed up for MicroCorruption a while ago, but never even did the first level until reading the posts about Starfighter here reminded me of it. And I'm hooked - I've done some reverse engineering and exploit work before

I've been using it the past two days, and it's really just...not good. The idea is fine: introduce people to FirefoxOS without having them cut Android apps cold turkey. The implementation isn't, however, which probably has so

I've been using https://instant.io/ a bit to share files with people. You don't have to care about captchas or size thresholds because you aren't storing anything on the server, except for the tracker file. T

A great article about K is http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10501320 - it introduces K as a magical, end-all programming language that is blazingly fast and would solve lots of problems...if only someone other than the autho

In firefow it's a w with two dots over it. Is it just some unicode point that is unstandardized, and so overloaded somewhere with the Apple logo?

It's be great if you had some examples to read through, or any documentation really. Even a minimal README. I'm interested in the idea, but without anything to go on it's pretty impossible to look at.

Yup, I've heard of Cap'n Proto before, but unfortunately never worked with it. I was under the impression that you still had to write the specfile yourself, and that deserializing malicious data was unsafe (along with being platfo

I really like the idea of a binary tree memory model, especially an acyclic one. It appeals to the mind in the same way Lisp s-exprs do, and possibly even more: everything is either [head tail] or a number! How stupid! As far as I know, a l

I've played with Kakoune a little bit not that long ago. It's actually pretty nice. By far the best feature is the popup that lists all the sub-actions for chords: imagine if, when you press "g" in Vim, it lists all keys

It's entirely possible to spawn an alternate universe. In fact, it's recommended to spin up an offline version of ~zod to develop on so you don't end up crashing you actual planet. The `-F` flag makes it so your ships only co

It's certainly not ready now, but they released a whitepaper and it's open to the public, both in terms of source and joining the network. Anyone is free to get used to it and use it, as evident as this tutorial by a member of the

I'm not exactly unbiased to Urbit, but I found Hoon as usable as they say it is. It seems like everyone that hears about Hoon's rune syntax comments about how insane it is, but it really is easy to get into. I'm partial to ca
