The algorithm is described in more details in https://academic.oup.com/comjnl/article/14/3/317/420539?logi... (around page 323, page 318, ..) I haven't thought about it at all, but isn't i

AES and SHA-3 sharing one contributor isn't exactly the same situation. NIST does a lot more than just John Daemen's algorithms. And you can't have an entire crypto toolbox with just AES and SHA-3. If you use NIST, you use th

Ah, I see what you mean. Trauma definitely doesn't help. I think this might come down to a question about nature vs nurture if we keep digging too far, but I fear I'm not qualified to argue much further than this :) Appreciate the

That's fair, but I think there's a huge gap between that and being a serial killer. We can point to war or to the Stanford prison experiment. People in unusual stressful situations have the potential to be abusive, or to follow ab

That would probably be good for the overwhelming majority of users. More rarely, you want to save space/reduce overhead by using a deterministic IV scheme. Either all 0 because you picked a random key and you _really_ care about space

The challenge is closed, but it's really just a series of emails with tasks for you to do. You can find a list of the tasks online, only there won't be someone to verify your solutions since the challenge is closed.

You could try looking up the tasks of the Eudyptula Challenge. More than half the value was in sending mails and getting feedback, but it's still a great introduction that gradually gets you used to more and more complicated kernel dev

No, there is no Intel 7nm anymore, it was renamed to Intel 4. But there is instead an Intel 7, which is the previous Intel 10nm ESF. This marks the point where they changed their naming scheme, so that Intel 7 is roughly comparable to TSMC

They _could_ in theory post the (no doubt) Perl scripts that generate those headers from the HDL along with the relevant source files, but I imagine that would be a _very_ hard sell. And probably not much more helpful to the kernel, as no o

My main criticism of nushell is that it seems to be more developed as a programming language than as a shell. Looking at the bug tracker, someone asked 4 years ago how to separate multiple commands, as in `git pull; git push`. It turns out,

It takes advantage of shallow purchasing decisions. If all your competitors report 30 TB*, and you report 15 TB, you may have a better product, but what the people with purchasing power want is bigger numbers, and you advertise a lower numb
