The other way around (converting double quoted strings to single quoted ones) would be more understandable, as that is what str.__repr__ prefers: >>> "string" 'string' I sense a bloated ego of the a

I registered several important accounts with @icloud.com email, because I was sure that I would never switch to Android besides the fact that the email looked cool (what a stupid reason in retrospect). I deeply regret using the @icloud.com

> Today, to encrypt your communication to websites, you use HTTPS which rely on a vast network of certificate authorities. This fact has been irritating me for a long time. Because no one should believe that every single certificate auth

Although I do not deny the necessity for certificate authorities for convenience, I do not understand why using CAs is the only option. Why does the TLS protocol not allow for using a key pair which is agreed-upon between a server and a c

The following is the code I wrote before reading the example pieces of code. void remove(IntList* l, IntListItem* target) { if (l->head == target) { l->head = l->head->next; return; } IntL

For any given P2P system which can be used to share a large amount of files, we can prove the system cannot exist with this question: Is there a way to prevent classified documents of the US stolen by China, or child pornography from being

I sometimes imagine how wonderful it'd be if there were a viable alternative to the Web that is decentralized and infeasible to censor, only to realize that how great it is for the freedom, is the exact reason why it doesn't exist

This project seems nice, but there's some detail I have trouble wrapping my head around: why is a template string represented as a lambda containing an f-string, instead of as a plain string? Namely, wouldn't the code below suffic

I wonder why there are no email providers that offer an infinite number of aliases that cannot be associated with the primary address. Simply offering any aliases would soon fill out easy-to-remember addresses, but can't email provider

Instead of providing a temporary password, can't that service just give a user the session information that is sent to the server via cookies?

IMHO what is essential as a language feature for writing interpreters/compilers is algebraic data types and pattern matching on them, because they make things much easier when manipulating ASTs, which is a frequent task in implementing

For downvoters - constructive counterarguments are welcome.

I agree with the sentiment. The common argument against rolling out your own encryption just baffles me. Because there are plenty of ways to roll out your own encryption safely and in such a way that drastically eliminates the possibility o
