Really? I was like "wao, he has found a way to break encryption" only to figure out he is decryption using the key. End to end encryption is all about preventing man in the middle attack. Not about preventing a second way for decr

Till now I was wondering how the infinity range nuclear powered Russian missiles that Putin is developing is supposed to work. I know now. Can see the similarities. This also answers why USA hasn't come up with similar tech. It did. In

The compaction GC was the most important change. I haven't measured Ruby's performance specifically but in general the difference and improvements over a non-compacting GC is so huge. Specially for long running processes.

Garbage collection isn't that slow. I find allocating off the fragmented memory after collection slower.

Anyone else thinks Google is getting too much protests, walkouts, processions compared to other big companies like MS in its peak days? It even missed a defense contract of $10B because its employees didn't like it, which MS picked up

ImageMagick with "multicore" support won't speed things up the moment number of concurrent requests touches the number of cores you have. And in digital ocean's case you have only one core.
