Assuming that pi is a normal number [1], its digits are uniformly distributed. Therefore the density of a given binary sequence of length N in pi’s binary expansion is 2^-N. So on average, the offset for a given binary sequence will be on t

Undortunately with this solution you’re still storing the same amount of information as you’d normally do. It’s just encoded as offsets into pi’s decimal expansion. You can’t cheat entropy.

It depends. Maybe people have live news streams fed into a neural network controlling a high frequency trading engine.

Sure, by all means they should keep up the good work. I'll be happy to switch when it's ready. But until then, I'll stick to my trusty Objective-C for serious work.

Yea, but you lose C++ interop, your binary will be inflated with those Swift proxy libs and your compilation times will increase 2-3-fold.

"sarin precursor" = isopropanol I use this very dangerous sarin precursor everyday as a hand sanitizer.

Exactly. I hate it when I have to look through 5 different “fixture” classes to find out what’s being set up by a test.

Kinda, but it’s far from trivial as you would need some sort of tolerance when comparing sites with dynamic content.

Won’t work. Adversaries can taint your data by sending back fake results.

The issue with HPKP is that revocation is not possible if you don’t control the key that was pinned for your users. E.g. if an admin accidentally wipes the keystore, there’s no way of revoking the pinning info from the users’ browser. Taki

Frontend developers at our company vetoed TypeScript for being too difficult to comprehend for JS devs.

Just stop being a frontend developer. Read some books about object-oriented software. Everything will come naturally.

At least there’s less chance of a hurricane there, though I wonder how they protect the wooden structure from the year-round damp climate.

Nope. You always need end-to-end parity integrity checking. Your data goes through too many layers before reaching the storage medium. E.g. I once got a substantial amount of my pictures filled with bit errors because of a faulty RAM module
