One way the distinction gets used where I work is to have custom / required fields keyed on the ticket type. Oh, you want to make a bug ticket in my project? In that case, required fields include "steps to reproduce", "e

Having gone through a PhD program myself, this smacks of truth. In the PhD program I went through, it was predominantly populated by foreign students and Americans whose parents paid for their undergrad (like me). Unlike in the United State

A function being deterministic means that any input will have a single output. But it is not unique for any hash function, SHA-256 included. The definition of a hash function is any function which takes an arbitrary length input and outputs

at 1:08 in the video, that is exactly what he claims: "So every piece of data in the world has its own unique hash digest." This is false for the reasons apeescape describes: every piece of data in the world has its own hash diges

There's a few things in there that are factually incorrect -- in particular, the false notion that "every input has a unique output" can be quite dangerous in some cryptographic settings. That said, the purpose of this talk i

This is spectacular -- I suspect you can see at least as much as you'd be able to see with your eyes if you were able to get arbitrarily close to it. Does anyone know what the text says? Extracted as best I could here: https:/&#x

It wouldn't be just an equality check on the bits anyway, rather some kind of theoretical function over the bits. For example, is this JPG image a copyrighted image? Perhaps my function would be: - take the source image, reduce i

Poignant excerpt: I think Colour is what the designers of Monolith are trying to challenge, although I'm afraid I think their understanding of the issues is superficial on both the legal and computer-science sides. The idea of Monolit

Putting on the other hat for a minute, I'm curious what the author things a good resolution for this would be. Perhaps that any time you use a text editor to create, edit, or save a shell script, that script should be treated as a fres

Oh gosh. Taking one second to think about it, _of course_ (a) and (b) are separate photographs -- that is the entire point of that diagram. Somehow my brain farted right over that when making my previous comment. Thank you, not only for set

If the content-type header failed to get sent, or if a browser (lookin' at you, IE) chooses to ignore it in favor of what it thinks it probably should have been, then the result can get rendered as HTML. If you have some json that has

"Here is a book I read that I thought was good. Here are the things I liked most about it. Here is a high level understanding of why they're great." I love when people write articles like this. Thank you Henrik!

GP is suggesting that in this setting, the set is Booleans, the operation is &&, and the identity is True. So taking your calculation of a * i = a the operation (denoted * above) is &&, and the identity (denoted i a

I love this. Going through the Trig example, I would have given anything for this in high school. For a topic that I currently have to use on occasion and feel inadequately informed about, I can't wait to get to the Fourier transform

In fairness, the guidelines they reference suggest you do exactly what the comment says they're doing (assuming they're keying the hash). The guidelines seem explicitly written with the idea that unique identifiers _derived from_
