Huh, I think you're right. BIT.TRIP RUNNER was definitely in the HIB 6 [1], but I don't see it on the download page either. There's an button to get the Steam key, though. [1] http://blog.humblebundle.com/post

The JVM does have powerful reflection capabilities, even though most programmers don't use it directly. You do see it used for mocking, ORMs, dependency injection, etc.

This is disingenuous. RSA used it as a default in a commercial crypto library, as you must know. End users won't generally be aware that it's being used in a product, but that doesn't mean it isn't out there. It is unlik

One issue with that is that dicts can hold any hashable object, not just strings. To get a comparable binary representation for arbitrary types, you need to use the hash method. So now you get the worst of both worlds - a hash call, and a t

Of course not! I am suggesting that connections should be encrypted by default, whether the endpoints can be authenticated or not.

It is a meaningful step up, because the passive attack is entirely risk free for the attacker, while an active attack carries with it the risk of detection. The practicality of enormous secret drag-net operations like the NSA has been runni

Most stream ciphers just output a pseudorandom stream to be xored with the plaintext. Treating it as a PRG simplifies the security analysis. Letting the plaintext affect the state is more likely to hurt than help if you assume that the atta

It is strange that they claim to have implemented SHA-3 in hashlib. The details of the padding and capacity are still under discussion, so no final standard has been published yet.

It does not guarantee it. A select without a order by clause is not guaranteed to be in a repeatable or consistent order, neither in SQL nor MySQL. MySQL does have an implicit ordering on GROUP BY queries, but it is deprecated and should no

The funny thing is, modern slot machines do the same thing. The spinning is just for show - a PRNG decides exactly where the wheels should stop.

The small increase in maximum size would hardly be a critical security issue in any case.

len() returns the number of items in a sequence. If the password is a bytes object, the length will be in bytes.

I like their small file size, around 200 to 300 bytes. Though that's arguably large to store a 5x5 bitmap + one RGB color, which would fit comfortably in 7 bytes.

It would help if they would just declare it unmaintained. Maybe projects would give up on sticking to a 20 year old C standard just to maintain compatibility with MSVC.

Good to hear. I hope they will finish id Tech 6 some day. I've been sold on sparse voxel octrees since I first heard about them, and I think the super-scalable level of detail would be great for VR as well.

They have added nothing of the sort, as far as I can determine. A bitcoin site added M-Pesa as an option for payment. If there is any official affiliation, I'd like to see the proof. No mention of bitcoins or Kipochi appears on http:&
