I just learned from the blog that the author also published a book on the history of nuclear secrecy last year. I've read the introduction and am very excited to go through more (Books title is Restricted Data)

An indicator of that may be the fact that the NSA is in the process of finalizing their selection of quantum resistant algorithms. After that expect those algorithms to end up in the FIPS 140 certification process and percolating into requi

I really enjoyed the Dark Forest. The ending felt like the first time I saw The Usual Suspects. Another alternative hypothesis could be that the universe / even the galaxy is just too big to settle. Any civilization going out would tak

I'm not sure if they have other articles. When I look at their Archive I just see this one. Maybe this is their MVP?

Oni I can pass on ;) Myth and Marathon were experiences in storytelling for me however. I even have a copy of the GURPS Myth roleplaying guide sitting on my bookshelf behind me that goes more into the lore of the Myth universe.

My understanding of CRDT is that it shines the most when you have collaborative documents. For a mgmt UI along the lines of "listen on port X, log at level Y" where does CRDT become handy? Wouldn't you just want "last wr

Okay, but is HFaaS[1] on the roadmap? I'd ask if there is a PoC of it running Doom, but with all this love Chex Quest might be a more wholesome choice. [1] - https://zserge.com/posts/bfaas/

I'd argue the KKK is not a good example. The Ku Klux Klan Act was passed in 1871 to target and stop the klan (src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_Act ). This was successful until the Klan was refounded

It is worth noting that this is not an impossible problem. I'm not a js expert, and it seems that js loves imports, but Nix solves exactly this problem on Linux. You have, for each end binary, a set of dependencies. If they are exactly
