Blocking somebody who is harassing you seems to be a very bad idea. You're actively telling them that they're blocked. They can create a new account to work around this. Muting is much more efficient because it does not give any f

As somebody who doesn't use Twitter actively, I don't understand why you would ever want to block someone. If you're sick of someone, why not just mute them? Blocking seems to be kind of a childish option because you want the

Are there reported incidents where somebody was caught with such sophisticated techniques? It seems like every time I read about how the FBI caught some big darknet criminal it was pretty much always some trivial mistake on the criminal&#x2

"You can’t outrun a bad diet" seems to be the party line among fitness people these days. Anecdotally speaking that's not really true for a lot of people. I run > 100km/week pretty much all year round (most of it on e

Apart from what others have said, signed binaries also pose somewhat of a challenge with reproducible builds.

Whilst we're at it: does anybody know what's the deal with the weird octal ASCII representation in the tar header? To store a file size of 10 bytes, all common tar implementations typically put literally the string "0000012&q

In my experience, a regex can be a much more robust solution than an XML parser depending on the use case. Back in the days when I did some webscraping I often had parsers throwing exceptions becacuse of ivalid HTML. More often than not I s

I'm a bit hesitant to believe that in the future low level systems programming will be done using languages like Rust, Nim or Zig. I would really love to see that but the programmers I know in that area are very reluctant to accept any

Probably the first tool I install on every Windows machine. It's beyond me how Microsoft has not incorporated something similar into Windows to replace its ridiculous native search.

I never understood why these package repositories don't include some (opt-in?) integrity checking option using digital signatures. If I download code that executes on my machine there should be at least the option to establish some lev

I don't think this is a bad thing. Google, StackOverflow et al. are basically just extended documentation. What's bad about using docs?

Signal is rightfully critiziced by people for their outdated server code. I'm just arguing that a) this does not make them as bad as WhatsApp or Telegram and b) updating the server code does not add as much trust as people tend to thin

1. The client is up-to-date on GitHub, which is a much better situation than with WhatsApp or Telegram. An outdated server code just gives you reason to distrust their metadata handling. 2. Trust is a bit more complicated than that. FB sell

Can you elaborate on the ambiguity problem of Base58? I always thought that base58 was designed with this in mind as it does not include visually ambiguous letters such as "0", "O", "I", "l", etc..

It's pretty hard to make something that is not turing-complete. I've always wondered if it wouldn't be beneficial to have a turing-incomplete language given that Rice's theorem then doesn't necessarily hold and thus
