yeah, no. security evaluations cost a ton, and they take time. apple is doing nothing at all, just charging for being in a premium market.

Nice article! But I couldn't help but notice that when `_PyCompile_AstOptimize` fails (<0), then `arena` is never freed. I think this is bug :thinking:.

Well, it's not easy to investigate how poverty affects your whole life history xD It would take an investigator their entire life as well, assuming they started super young. And who wants to pay for such investigation?

It depends entirely on your security requirements, but all in all, in broad definitions, 42 bits is not enough. Maybe if key rotation happens fast enough, faster than expected brute force, then, maybe? Again, all up to definitions and conte

It's pretty cool, but where's the portfolio? :P I was expecting to find like diff projects represented by things in the game, but couldn't find any. The idea is rad for sure, so keep on it!

Do note that 42bits is way too low for a secure password. You should be targeting something over 77 bits [0], so you would need to combine 2 passphrases. Sound pretty hard to remember to me :P Shameless plug: I made a secure* passphrase and

I don't like the wild use of globals, even if they are "guarded" by locks. And then, oh boy there're locks! But, it surely works, so that's nice. It would be cool to have a small lib that solves this nicely :thinkin

Indeed, you just start typing and usually 3 letters is enough to click something at the screen. Of course, this depends greatly in the buyer being... honorable, so I can understand if it doesn't work in many places.

Yup, tagging and all the related costs are only reasonable for high-margin/relative high value products, not food

I love self-checkout, honestly. Machines need to improve, but still. There's a store here where u simply DROP all items in the self-checkout basket, and it automatically computes everything! I suspect it uses NFC or similar, but it wor

Several of those brokers are also tied to the "credit score" (no, not in China...), so removing yourself has some financial consequences for you. they won't make it easy...

I LOVED THAT GAME!!! I remember downloading it at the local cyber-coffee, for which I bought 2 boxes of diskettes! The owner saw me trying very hard to split apart the zipped game and told me "do you want me to burn a CD?". That&#
