It's odd how it has error reporting in some areas (alloc, split can return NULL if allocation fails), but not others (append, prepend have a void return type but might require allocation internally).

It's a privilege to even have your Apple device working. If Apple decides it won't work, you're at their mercy.

The idea that these will keep being improved on in speed reminds me of the math problem about average speed: > An old car needs to go up and down a hill. In the first mile–the ascent–the car can only average 15 miles per hour (mph). The

Safest way to generate seed words is a set of dice and printed table. It's odd they only encode 256 bits of entropy, which clearly isn't enough to make multiple 256-bit private keys.

Therac 25 is exactly what I thought of when reading this story. The software didn't have direct hardware control to kill patients with radiation, but it still resulted in thousands of victims.

Software advertising itself as "A truly secure and private messenger" raises my skepticism. It might be truly secure. Its creators might believe it is and have zero doubt that they've made no errors and there are no flaws. Or

Was it really adults trying to prevent other adults from those materials, or trying to prevent minors from accessing adult materials? (I'll interpret downvotes without response as confirmation of the latter, and that people want minors

A discredited organization labeled Adams a Holocaust-denier, so NPCs consider him such.

I wasn't able to jump through their hoops to sign up. They wanted my bank login, which I will absolutely not give to anyone. I tried a debit card but that also failed.

I read it as the opposite, trying to help them process it as not something deeply malicious targeting them. I'm thankful of the times I took something deeply, then realized it was something else and had a change of heart. This is ultim

This often comes naturally for portable code, where the OS-specific things are separated from the core logic that just processes data. His keyboard handling example illustrates this.

There could be side-effects of these higher rates that are noticeable, or bugs in handling different rates.

It allows UI designers to add nearly endless settings and controls where they were before limited by dash space. It's similar to how everything having flash for firmware allows shipping buggy products that they justify because they can

It sounds like they are arguing that when performance matters, you have to know more about caching. Fair enough, you have to know a lot more about things when optimizing. For a lot of cases you can ignore caching because it can be done tran

I figured the naming issue is deciding how much context. A name might begin inside an organization but need to endure a wider area. If you make all names so long and context-free that they can work in any context, they become unwieldy. Also

Gray code is something semi-related. For hardware encoders of a position you want only one transition between states, that is, the XOR of the two to have only one bit set. Normal binary has multiple transitions between some values (e.g. thr

You define the invariants once for the class and they are run around every public function. Done manually you'd probably use a helper object that calls the invariants in its constructor and destructor (have to handle exceptions) that y

That was confusing as hell. I had the mystery color at the top, just the hex characters, and it looked like it would be a light green. I tap on the light green and the mystery color box at the top turns dark green, yet it shows the same hex
