Your example made me wonder, is there a known instance from a common hash algorithm where the input results in exactly the same string representation of the output hash? Eg. "AE485D" hashes to "AE485D". Is this even ma

The term "fake news" is totally misleading because it conceals political agenda behind it. Yet it is all over the place. Did everybody forgot what propaganda is?

Yes, Germans are crazy regarding working hours, at my last job at an engineering shop many co-workers started at 6 am, some even at 5(!), making "Feierabend" at around 2 pm. Nothing unusual.

Modern "x86-based" CPUs are actually mostly RISC architectures under the Hood. Instruction sets are a mere front-end nowadays and don't tell much about the inner workings. Think of bytecode.

I always hear about how use of mutexes is costly but i never actually encountered a significant performance hit from using synchronization. Unless, of course, you have like 10 threads frequently accessing the same memory, which is more a de
