I suppose it would be interesting to think of this attack in a scenario. Say you worked for a company that didn't require 2FA yet. Then there is a hack, and your co-worker's account is stolen. IT investigates, clears it up, and pu

The short answer is that zstd is faster and better at compressing than zlib for most input data. For more details, here's a comment I made a couple years ago: There's a nice comparison of compression algorithms (including zlib, zs

I agree, but I don't have an alternative with the range/quality of guests he interviews. Any suggestions?

I suppose a nice compromise here would be to make an intelligent decision whether to bring up a prompt asking if you want to change the font size. For instance, if the FaceID detects that your face is farther or closer from the screen than

One reason for du/df problems with ZFS is ZFS compression.

For the HTTP 100 vs 307 - You're right, but in my experience, S3 does not send 307 on each request (which it would have to do, if it were load balancing, right?)

Isn't the same true of movies? (On the other hand, I'm pretty sure more people skip going to the gym than skip going to a movie!)

Well, not a great start - the console is throwing Java exceptions, and when I ask for a code completion, it just spins for a while and eventually fails. I'll continue to poke at this, I think. For me, the competition is Sublime Text wi

This is really interesting to me - I can't seem to reproduce this on a couple different platforms. In the past (and just now) I've definitely seen 100x differences with LC_ALL=C, but you used that on both, I'm sure. How large

Bitcoins are mined by a uniformly random process, which means even groups with a small amount of power can mine blocks, and even can occasionally mine more than one in a row. But instead of publishing that mined block immediately, there is

For an interesting take on this, read about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneeshpuram and consider watching the documentary "Wild Wild Country" on Netflix. I thought it was fascinating.

Here's a reduced example. I want to ask whether an incoming 16 bit number is in my set. I can make a bitmap that answers that question perfectly in 8KB :) So I'm assuming what the parent meant by sparse is, things where the univer

Yes, you are right - you have to query each filter. To keep the contract of the bloom filter, a "no" can only come if ALL filters return no. So if one of the filters return 0 and the other returns 1, the answer is maybe (i.e. a ye

Great idea! I ran a quick hashcat against the range00000 list on my laptop. In 1 minute I cracked 79 of them, and not too many of them look very odd - that is, they look sorta like normal cracked passwords. I'm asking my friend to run

Great thought, but it doesn't seem to be the case - as the number of unique suffixes is the large number here -- in fact, none of the values in the range are simply all zeroes. https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/

It may be true that music listeners are currently much more annoyed when songs aren't available. However, I think it's wrong to say that TV and movie watchers were any different 5 years ago -- even today, people's number one

Having many filters is worse, but not hugely so. I believe the problem is reducible to the fact that you'll have many smaller filters thus the random distribution hurts you a bit more. The key word to google is "blocked bloom filt

Yes, the ABV raises or lowers depending on temperature and humidity. The Stagg almost certainly went in at 125 proof (barrel entry proof), so it got a big boost during the considerable aging process. I've heard descriptions (from the p

I know it seems weird to have the "old" data change. But, it's not observed data, it's estimates made at a point in time. The estimate comes from the property itself as well as the algorithm. If they changed the algorith

I had the same reaction about Boston, and decided to look a little closer. I am not sure how the city selection works. Tree House is more than 50 miles from Boston, so it doesn't get included. But if you move the selector to 1+ breweri

I didn't - I just dropped the time factor out (since they both run their workloads for similar lengths of time).

Let's look at it a different way. The MacBook battery is 55 watt-hours, the Tesla battery is 100 thousand watt hours. They both run their respective workloads for a similar amount of time. So, less than a tenth of a percent?

I may not have parsed your question correctly, so I apologize in advance. Assuming you are asking about what happens to the "equal" elements- Yes, there is a bug in this code. It doesn't handle repeated elements. If you fix t

Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance both have flow economies. Supreme Commander 2 works as you described, and indeed, is not worthy :) Forged Alliance is great if you like TA!

Interesting - seems like I'm the only one without this issue so far, so I thought I'd comment. Spotify launched 10 days ago, 127MB written, 1.29GB read. maybe relevant, I'm running Mavericks.

You are correct that most compression algorithms are slower than their corresponding decompression, which means the writes tend to be a different tradeoff than the reads. I do not agree with your statement that compress + write is always sl

I can confirm that that's what happens to your account when you dont have 2FA enabled. Can you double check your settings?

That's probably true for a lot of studies, but companies with legitimately useful products would still be interested in getting independent validation so they can advertise said study, right? We are jaded by Coca-Cola, but there are ac
