Both ways are just notation. There’s nothing more real about 3/10 compared to 0.3. Telling you otherwise might have worked as a educational “shorthand”, but there are no mathematical difficulties as long as you use good definitions of

So the authors tries to be rigorous, but again falls into the same traps that the people who claim 0.9… != 1 fall. “0.999… = 1 - infinitesimal” But this is simply not true. Only then they get back to a true statement: “Inequality between tw

This comment exemplifies the puritanical view that nakedness is somehow bad or impure. Notice that the men in the paintings of Vallejo are also almost completely naked, hacking away at monsters with large weapons. Yet you did not point to t

Libsodium was independently audited by respectable reviewers. OP is spreading FUD for some very weird reason. Libsodium is also extremely robust. The only crypto project I’ve seen that is as footgunless is google’s tink, and that isn’t avai

I agree. If you look at the Swift version of the library, it will generate and prepend the nonce for you automatically (if you use the right overloaded method). It will also strip it and use it during decryption. My guess is they wanted to

Libsodium is an amazing crypto library. At my previous job, we used libsodium as the basis for all our crypto on web, iOS and android. This after a myriad of subtle problems and inconsistencies using multiple libraries for RSA/AES. Lib

Halfway logarithmically. Like 100 is halfway between 10 and 1000? That’s your argument irt the pricing? If killing third parties wasn’t the goal, it’s very convenient that it killed so many third party apps, isn’t it? It’s clear you haven’t

I think the thesis is wrong. It’s not that the average interaction is with familiar individuals. I’ve been a mod, lurker and commenter on a lot of subreddits. And on each of those, there are maybe 10 users I recognize and whose comments I s

Check the ‘apology’ follow up. The person claims to be schizophrenic. Even the apology mail makes no sense and is full of paranoia and read like a group stalking delusion.

No one is upset because reddit wants to make the API paid. Several 3rd party apps were looking forward to working with reddit in this regard. People are upset because: - Reddit has been terrible and dishonest in their communication - Reddit

json-schema has nothing to do with JSON-LD. If you want shape constraints on your JSON-LD data, you'll need SHACL: https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/ JSON itself has a much simpler specification than XML, and feels

These fake-scanner pdf generators always use a huge skew. A tiny (random) bit of skewing makes it seem more genuine, but using the same exact large rotation puts it in an uncanny valley.

Vue has `refs`, which are reactive proxy objects that are used for tracking things like re-rendering. Since vue does not hide the fact that something is a ref, you need to call `myRef.value` to get to the underlying value of `const myRef =

Not so sound too negative, but to me, this actually seems terrible. Because somehow any work not behind the keyboard coding is not considered work by your standards. I don't think this is being honest. This is choosing some arbitrary m
