Is there any concern in this scheme with losing access to storage either temporarily or permanently due to losing access to key shares?

I saw 'the results speak for themselves' but for me this article seemed to have less LLM-ese than some of the more recent obvious LLM prose posted to hackernews. As a reader I think its jarring because you just see a lot of articl

`==` is reference identity in java and that is the problem. so you can't treat an arbitrary object as a value type because somewhere in the program `==` might be called on it.

You should be able to do these increments/decrements in a database at the rate you can write WAL to the disk. But the problem is in a lot of these databases the transaction will hold locks until the WAL hits the disk which causes a mas

‘The counters tell the story’ might be something they consider odd. But I’m not familiar with the author’s style so they could have had these tics pre-LLM or they picked up these tics from reading a lot of LLM content.

Looking at the function the addr value should always equal end but also it looks like on x86 this value is discarded in pte_free_tlb so maybe this is not the problem or I’m looking at a different version. https://github.com/

In the UK you can make an order of information to compel directors of a company that is in debt to answer questions about company assets, accounts and records under oath. This can be done in County Court and my understanding it is inexpensi

I think if the consignor has not taken the correct steps then there is a risk the receiver would be able to pay other secured creditors using the consignors assets. For example if there are other creditors with liens on the inventory then y

hackernews capitalising Int makes this question kind of confusing. Because the question is meant to be about c++ behaviour but `Int` is not a standard c++ type. But Int is not java because java uses Integer and `Int` is not c# because c# ha

I think the original commenter confused taking the CUBIC implementation from the kernel and rewriting that in Rust for use in their QUIC implementation or they just jumbled their wording. It does make sense to use an existing battle tested

I think UUIDv7 could make sense but I suspect the recommendations in the spec predate UUIDv7. Also, if you want sorted schemes then there are slightly more efficient schemes than UUIDv7. With UUID you are always sacrificing some bits to dis

The problem with Apache 2 is it might not be completely clear how this works with a Saas product. Of course if you are distributing binaries or source to customers then you are going to run into issues with Apache Licensing. But if you are

it seems like if these statements that were part of the grants were 1FA protected then they should not have been part of the grants in the first place. since having 1FA protected statements in the grants allows the government to compel spee

i think the use case for setHTML is for user content that contains rich text and to display that safely. so this is not an alternative for escaping text or inserting text into the DOM but rather a method for displaying rich text. for exampl

i'm not sure if Dtrace interpreter was safer than EBPF. I guess in theory it should be because a JIT is just extra surface area but I'm not sure in practice. Both EBPF and DTrace had bugs. Also, I always thought EBPF JIT was just

i would say the c-code is broken because the queue push method has undesirable behaviour when capacity is reached. for example if you push onto a full task queue then it just leaks a task without any feedback to the caller that something ve

I suspect the commit to fix is: https://github.com/facebook/react/commit/bbed0b0ee64b89353a4... and it looks like its been squashed with some other stuff to hide it or maybe there are other problems as well.

I think sortition is a great idea but you would probably need a constitutional amendment if you wanted sortition in Congress or the Senate. I think the State's have some discretion over how elections are run but I don't think its
