It all boils down to what they subtract. It is said that they subtract the wave signal. Is this signal known for sure or very predictable ? It also depends on how they subtract it. Is it in the fequency domain or the space doman ? I didn&#

Early PC had all their OS in Rom. Apples (Mac, etc) for instance. It was abandoned because it was difficult to patch the OS. The patch were needed to fix unpleasants "features" of the program. The back side is that it also allows

AES-CTR can be used instead. AES-CTR generates a pseudo-random sequence of bits which is xored with the data to encrypt. The pseudo random bit sequence is generated by encrypting a counter that is incremented. This allows to encrypt or decr

You are right that this is an opportunity to learn because it is a demonstration of incompetence at many levels. However, this incompetence has consequences that might be fatal for the company. How much time and effort will be required to l

It is really unfair to have fired him. The OP is not the one that sould have been fired. The guy in charge of the db should be fired and the manager who fired the OP should be fired too. And, by the way, the guy in charge of the backups too

That's the main business model of clash of clans and similar games. You pay to not wait and they earned hundreds of millions with it.

Indeed. Our expectation that ET would have an interest in colonizing planets may be wrong. With a space vessel, they would have a perfectly adapted and mobile environment. They can avoid danger and explore to accelerate their technological

To be more accurate, the report of UFO sightings dropped significantly after the eighties. The other weird property is an increase in UFO sighting after the second world war. Jean Jacques Velasco (GEPAN) suggested that it was correlated wit

I have a two comments to share about this paradox. 1. The assumption that there are many advanced ET civilizations in the universe is based on the idea that life emergence is a natural and random process. This has not yet be proven to be va

A.Meessen does pure science and studies whatever he consider of interest. Regarding UFOs he did inductive research. A priori we don't know if the reported phenomenon is real or not. To test the reality of the phenomenon you have to pos

A.Meessen suggest a simpler explanation. Dark matter is made of electrically neutral elementary particles subject to scattering and a pressure. These particles may combine and dissociate which accounts for drak energy and the cosmological c

While 100% code coverage doesn't guarantee 0% bug, it's useful to easily detect new untested code addition and possible bug addition. Another point is that the code looks obviously right by visual inspection, but we want to automa

SHA1 is still OK for identifying files. The probability of random collision is still very low. The only problem is for forged collisions. The object store could be modified to support file collision. One way to disambiguate collision is to

The forged hash collision will always be a weak point. Things will get worse with cost reduction of processing power. It's a loosing battle. The only way to detect without error two identical files is by comparing the files. This compa

The comment to whitch Linus respond reports that there are 40 constants in many places in the git code. The bit size of a SHA1 hash is 160 bits which holds in 20 bytes. In hexadecimal, the length is 40chars. So the problem reported in the

There is not mutch risk now, but git should be able to switch to another and longer hash. Truncating another hash to 40 chars does not "fix" the problem. It just move it into another place. Another possibility, but this is a hack

the solution is to store the password and any other sensitive information in a text file that you read when your program starts up. And don't forget to add that file's name to .gitignore so git will ignore it. As simple as that. :

The reality of Multiverse is undetermined and it is untestable. Unless someone discuss methods to test it, it's a waste of time because there is nothing to learn on our universe with it. It would be a mistake to call back into question
