Encryption is either broken or its not. No one has broken modern strong encryption yet. Quantum computing as a threat to strong encryption is still purely theoretical. Also, you don’t need to use a quantum computer to break encryption when

I agree that it shouldn’t be taken seriously (or even just not participated in), but not everyone is a master of stoic detachment. Some people cannot help but have strong emotional reactions to things like this.

The terminal is the best and only git client you need and it will always be free. You are doing yourself a disservice as a developer by not learning how to use your terminal

In web dev I have observed the opposite trend: when I first started my career everyone was expected to be full stack and know how to deploy a thing. nowadays devs tend to be strictly front end or back end or dev ops, etc. Devs that can opti

Hilarious people downvoted me even asking why the other guy was getting downvoted. I guess people are so upset by even seeing this guys name they feel the need to lash out at it no matter the context. My inquiry was a sincere attempt to und

Why is this being downvoted? Did Scott Adams get cancelled or something?

+1 to the “nothing to do after a week” - it does get quite dull very fast. At least the food is amazing. Changi airport was my favorite part of Singapore for the weekend getaways

Omg so simple

For most of the world, yes you are correct, but in Singapore it’s a moot point: any opposition is already quite effectively silenced.

Yes, it is technically separate from the other Nobel prizes, but no one treats it any differently than the rest of them.

Phew! Glad I dodged that bullet, though I guess I’m more of a JavaScript dev these days

It’s bananas to you that a library with the word react in the name would be dependent on react? It’s an add on you would literally never use unless you are building a react app

Sorry, but those little faucet attachable kind are complete junk. If they weren't handing out decent R/O systems then it wasn't and isn't good enough and people should feel safe with their kids drinking that.

Friendly reminder to test your water for yourself a couple times a year. Do not take anyone else’s word for it. You can get decent tests online for $20-30 that will catch the most important types of contamination.

Right - it probably is safe, but I am not sure most people in flint can afford the triple carbon filter reverse osmosis water system that I would want to use in their situation. Raw sewage water is “safe to drink” if it’s filtered enough.

The condescending and arrogant tone got you downvoted both here and in your previous comment

Yes, that’s exactly right. They just want to feel like gods as they stomp the new players.

You must not play many online competitive games. I have played them for most of my life and I can tell you that latency of even just 100ms will absolutely wreck your ability to respond and react to dynamic, high speed situations with accura

Curious why the comment about STL algorithms written by Alexander Stepanov was downvoted so hard it died? I’m not a C++ dev... is he hated or is the implementation that bad?
