The thing that really offends me about Windows 11 is that new right click menu that takes like 500 ms to appear each time you use it and is less useful than the old one. Recently I've been experimenting with Atlas, Revi and Ghost Spe

It really is kind of incredible. I just saw the clip and there really is absolutely nothing there. This is not even 10% as poignant of what Jon Stewart would say in his day. He doesn't even say anything about Kirk himself, or even abou

I know very little about certificates and online security, but I'm also kind of baffled by the expiration time of the iniLINE certificate (2018-10-10 to 2099-12-31). I feel that's also a poor practice, right? What should a regular

I've never seen whatever code this is, so correct me if I'm saying something stupid, but do they really use uint256 for their number variables? Like a number that goes from 0 to 1157920892373161954235709850086879078532699846656405
