   > By renting a GPU cluster online, the entire chosen-prefix collision attack on SHA-1 costed us about 75k USD. So they just decided to try their attack and spend two years worth of salary on it?? That's crazy.

   In countries in Europe, salaries typically show less variance (in the Netherlands, 1.7k gross is minimum wage. Seniors usually make about 5-6k a month in jobs that are not super high-profile. After tax, figures are much closer). The execu

   I'd guess it is because the basis of CSS is pretty simple. "You have selectors and styles, and I can just can look them up, so I guess I know all there is to know about it."

   Shows the importance of code reviews. I wonder why this is illegal but it's legal for hardware to deny service or even break stuff when they detect you're using something they don't like (I'm referring to printers, but I

   I think the term lingua franca is most often used to indicate a commonly understood language, not one that everybody actively uses. Six of the eight most popular programming languages (from https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index&

   Nice breakdown. If I open facebook I can see the 'sponsored' as plain text right there in the developer tools... It might make a difference that I'm using chrome in Dutch?

    This is hard to grasp without a diagram. The detailed example is probably easier to understand. The result computed in the current iteration is a[i - j][j]. The result computed in the iteration before that is a[i - (j - 1)][j - 1].

    Thanks for writing and sharing. This articulates a lot of the feelings I have about work as well, and it's put more eloquently than I am able to. It's only now that I appreciate my time at university, where I would actually learn

    Hah, most programmers can't make maintainable software. I see programming mostly as a mindset. Like doing algebra. You couldn't do it as an infant, because you just didn't understand the concept of using letters instead of va
