I think I see where you're coming on that. For most of my applications, I terminate TLS connections with nginx. I do use ChaCha for high-speed encryption in other areas, though. The BC libraries have always worked great for me.

Not sure why you have to wait. I use ChaCha in production in JDK 8: https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/master/core/src/main/j... Why would native be any better? I would think that as lo

Just to follow-up on this project - it worked! My old first-generation RPi coupled with a simple amplifier circuit is powering my dog fence.

I was in the same boat as you until I stumbled on a real, money-saving project. My PetSafe invisible fence wired transmitter blew out, and I wasn't keen on dropping over $100 on a new one. After dragging my feet for a few weeks and do

I'd argue that these comparisons, while obvious to make, are missing an absolutely critical piece of Tesla's long-term plan: autonomous driving capability. This article and others are merely drawing comparisons based on price and

That's hilarious. It reminds me of playing Papyrus' IndyCar Racing on my PC as a kid. I quickly tired of trying to avoid wrecks and win races. It was much more fun to drive the opposite way around the track to see how much havoc

I do this exact same trick and have been using it for years. It led to a couple of brief and somewhat awkward phone calls with local business owners when I asked them rather pointedly about them sharing my information with third parties. I

A mechanical engineering professor at our institution loves to ask the uninitiated what the difference between the two is. His answer, "It's the intent or purpose for which it's being used."

I can probably live without some of the bells and whistles, but please give us an option for 32GB of RAM (even if it is soldered to the mobo).

There was a prior HN discussion around who owns what IP when public funding is involved. It was an interesting discussion for those who are interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9268349

Yes, but hydrogen balloons add a whole extra dimension of fun and excitement. Inert gasses are boring.

If you're referring to the new facial recognition system in iOS 10's Photos app, I believe they mentioned that the entire system would run locally on your own hardware. I took that to mean that they would not be sending anything,

Having been in a couple of rough accidents in my life, I thought it was pretty stunning that the frame of the passenger compartment was durable enough that the occupants were simply able to open the doors to get out. From what I've bee

Like many of the others here, I'm not terribly surprised by this. I learned the distinction by watching the original Star Trek as a kid. Vulcans represented the logical, calculating race, while humans were characterized as the emotio

Wow, I'm hoping you misspoke here, but I'm a bit concerned by the way you confused people who are "mentally ill" with those who have intellectual disabilities. Also, this line is dangerously incorrect: "A message be

I'll just have to admit to a difference of opinion with you on this. I believe there is something inherently wrong with the n-word. I took the time to seek out its etymological roots via the Oxford English Dictionary, and the earlies

It isn't really necessary to define words on HN. I think most of us have a good idea of what common English words mean. It appears as though you genuinely, by your own admission, have no knowledge of the r-word's history of use
