Well, yes. It's much easier to diagnose after the problem has been found :) The 'gotcha' part in this case was that the SSL keygen code did not just use a random number seed but was grasping for entropy from other sources too

In an old job, we had a frustrating test that passed well over 99 times in 100. It was shrugged off for a very long time until a developer eventually tracked it down to code that was generating a random SSL key pair. If the first byte of th

Toyota uses lead batteries in the Prius, they’ve been fine there for over a decade. Obviously much heavier than Li, but that’s a price/weight trade-off. With suitable charge management, lead acid batteries can last a very long time.

Are these lithium ion batteries or lead ones?

I've found (after many bad buys) a pair of cheap bluetooth headphones that 'just work' with my iphone. The problem is, there is no way for a customer to tell whether a bluetooth device is going to work well or not (or even no

Since they were abandoned about 4000 years ago, I'd imagine that it's quite hard to find any records of their original name...

If you haven't already seen it, 'Micro Men' is an excellent TV drama that details the history of the BBC's computer project and the battle to be the chosen computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXBxV6

What about the people in the industries being 'disrupted' by the strategy of flooding the market with unsustainably-cheap products or services (e.g. taxi drivers being undercut by Uber) ?

That's an entirely different kind of attack. If your server is being flooded with 20TB/s of traffic, there's nothing you can do on the box itself to fix things. Whatever you do, the legitimate requests won't be able to g

I've been using Synology NAS devices for some time now and I'd definitely recommend them too. They have great support, even for their 'budget' systems, and provide many years of software updates and fixes. Their main web

Your quote describes a rapid economic growth, yet you were telling us the country had stagnated and gone backwards since the oil revenue came, in your first comment?

'End up?' What do you think the Saudi economy/society was like before the oil?

Rubbish! Why do you believe that an individual can’t be fair yet an organisation can? Premium rate numbers are used by some of the most scammy businesses out there, the regulators don’t seem to mind taking their money.

[Regulator Phone Pay] says Premium rate numbers are not designed to be used in this way Yes they totally are. The whole point of them is to make money from callers. Exactly what else were they designed for?

What I find interesting is that this varies by country. In some countries, making eye contact with a driver before crossing in front of their car is the right thing to do. In other countries, the best way to cross a road is to pretend that

There's a great (and short) video suggesting why it's not a good idea to run as many medical tests as possible, and it's not because of the cost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kQk9-KLPfU

Same thing, surely? Altering the trim means that pulling a certain amount on the stick doesn't make the plane pitch up as much as it would otherwise, hence you need to pull more on the stick (than a plane without MCAS). So the (intende

This still feels like ... cheating to me, if that's not too strong a word. If your algorithm for sorting a list involves generating a bigger list and then sorting that, then it's obvious that by recursion, you can make your sort f

In honour of a famous game review system, I propose an objective, measurable way of rating ray-tracing demos: the 'time-to-sphere': how long is it before a shiny sphere appears in the visuals? It signifies the point at which the c

Right-click on a (non-signed) program you want to run, and select 'Open'. Now MacOS will ask if you want to run this software or not, and it can remember this decision so you can just run it as normal in the future.

You’re one of the few people I’ve ever heard praise a phone because of its thinness. How much thinner is it than your old phone? What do you do with that extra spare millimetre?

That seems unclear. You get access to google ‘experts’, but they don’t sound like employees to me.

I wonder if you can read any extra state out of the T2 as a result, e.g. more information on wear leveling, temporary read failures and so on, more than the standard SMART counters?
