Stop, stop, he’s already dead! You guys are getting straw everywhere.

I haven’t looked into the history, but my understanding from the comments is that it exists to preserve `x == y -> hash(x) == hash(y)` for `x` and `y` with different numeric types (int, float, decimal) – which seems like it should be sol

I think that constraint is about not being able to scale down the entire quilt (by a factor ≠1 common to all side lengths in it) to a smaller quilt.

I don’t even disagree that “AI can help experienced engineers write better code in less time”, but “It would be too annoying for a human to ever write code to standards this high” when the standards are “zero dependencies, no libc, no alloc

CPython has the unfortunate property that ints aren’t covered by hash randomization, and `hash(x) == x % ((1 << 61) - 1)` always.

Combined with “do not mix declarations and code”, this could be a strict C89 compatibility thing (not that I think that these standards are a good idea either, even with that less arbitrary justification).

Slop article. Good for scam awareness I guess, but the main value of the analysis and advice is comedy. > read process.env directly, which in this app means MONGO_URI, JWT_SECRET, SENDGRID_API_KEY, CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET, PAYTM_MERCHANT_K

I’m not an expert in RustDesk, but I did take a quick look at the code, and it’s filled with massive red flags like [1], where it appears the general mechanism is SHA256(SHA256(password++salt)++challenge). I can’t even tell if the whole thi

Sometimes that's true, but sometimes (imo the superior approach) the touchscreen is independent from the cursor. I think touchscreen Chromebooks are like that, for example.

This comment is confusing to me on so many levels. What’s with the tangent(?) about a math test your algebra teacher could have generated? Did you bring up an illiterate teacher (extreme outlier) as evidence that the general population ha
