If you can recreate a file so it’s hash matches known CP then that file is CP my dude. The probability of just two hashes accidentally colliding is approximately: 4.3*10-60 Even if you do a content aware hash where you break the file into c

The overhead of stream abstractions is negligible if your goal is security when processing arbitrary input files provided from a zero-trust environment. In environments where you’re prioritizing performance I’d still argue streams are likel

If your goal is validation (i.e. this is a JPG/PNG) and stripping of EXIF data it is entirely possible to write your own parser in a managed and safe language in less than 500 lines of code without sacrificing any performance. Don’t lo

The binary is that big on Linux because the debug symbols are embedded in the executable. You need to strip them.

The political speech some wish to see silenced revolves around the racial and socioeconomic inequality they benefit from each day. Turning a blind eye to systemic racism does not mean it does not exist, and inherently saying Black lives mat

They are impossible to benchmark against each other without making an assumption about how often you want to access the data, and which parts of it you want to access. but this means Bebop and FlatBuffers can exist side-by-side / solve

One of the authors of Bebop here: - The benchmark code is present in the laboratory directory of the repository. - We don’t compare to Capt’n Proto because it does not have a stable web-based implementation, at least not one that has the fe

“too far gone.” I’m sorry I’m not a model minority in your eyes, but it’s rich you’re telling a black person to spend more time with black people. These aren’t just my lived experiences, it’s subject matter that comes from thousands of hour

Ignoring the blatant racist generalization of Black people in your comment, recent Fed data shows your assumption is categorically false. Systemic Racism has always slowed the economic progress of those whose family roots are tied back to t

That’s correct! You could call it a brown tax and it still holds universal truth. A really good book on that subject is The Divide: Global Inequality from Conquest to Free Markets.
