No, I actually do not swear at all.

This is a very good alternative explanation. Thank you.

This is a great reply to my post and answers me better than any of the others I have seen thus far.

The reason I am hesitant to believe that is because of the fact that the review _never_ showed up, not even briefly. However, you could still be right.

We are sort of communicating. I _am_ the OP. And I only meant it as "I don't trust Google." I'll let you decide if that implication is unsubstantiated or not.
846.
by ghoward 6y ago
Saying "I wouldn't be surprised if..." is not an accusation, unless you count the implied "I don't trust Google" as an accusation.

by ghoward 6y ago
I agree. That's why I said "I wouldn't be surprised if..." I intentionally did not make a concrete claim.
848.
by ghoward 6y ago
Nope. No evidence. That's why I said that "I would not be surprised if..." which doesn't make a concrete claim. To me, it means, "I don't know, but it seems plausible in my limited experience." I am making

I once wrote a negative review of a business on Google, and it went up, but when I went to look at the business's reviews under my wife's Google account, it was not there. I waited an hour and checked. Then a couple hours and chec

Rice has been with humans since basically the beginning. Masks, not so much. My argument is that we don't know if there are actually more positives than negatives with masks. Oh, and by the way, there's arsenic in rice. https:&#x

Does that include the customers of https://fishinabarrel.github.io/ , the company owned by one of the Cryptography developers?

by ghoward 6y ago
You implement it by using unsigned arithmetic, then checking that the sign bit flipped. See https://git.yzena.com/Yzena/Yc/src/branch/master/include/yc/... . It's a bit more subtle th

Thank you. I'm glad to know there are others that feel the same way. :)

by ghoward 6y ago
Who knows? The point is that we don't know all of the ways that masks affect us.
857.
by ghoward 6y ago
I think you misunderstand my arguments. I think the ubiquity of masks hurts everybody.

I don't know why I can't reply to your reply, so I'll post it here. My argument is that Rust _still_ isn't ready for the Cryptography library because it's not portable enough. And I am not a direct user of the Crypt

by ghoward 6y ago
Author here. My argument is actually that Rust cannot replace C because it's not portable enough. I would love for Rust to be portable enough.

I actually don't see what you said as being rude, just honest, and I appreciate that. I actually let myself cool down before I wrote the post. I was going to write the post right after I saw the GitHub issue, but I sat on it for awhile

Then I guess I made the argument poorly and still need practice writing for an audience.

Author here. I had added several links to the post regarding replies to what I said about Zig. I have also clarified a few arguments. And because there seems to be some disbelief at my claim of absolutely not bugs in my bc, I am going to th

I made the argument knowing that, actually. And in my opinion, the promises are almost always implicit.

They don't agree with _some_ experimental data, but yes.

by ghoward 6y ago
Your arguments are fair. However, can you tell me more what you mean about rethinking my approach? I am not sure what approach you are referring to.

Thank you for your kind words and the links!

Author here. Can you give me a link to the Reddit thread?

by ghoward 6y ago
In the post, I try to make the case that there were, in fact, promises. Obviously, I didn't make that case well. However, if I was very careful with bc, despite the fact that no one was going to exploit it (which would not be the case
