Assuming a given fixed key size, where does RSA need non-fixed-width arithmatic? AFAIK you can do all RSA maths with registers just double as wide as the key, no variable width anything required there. And I don't think that this is m

Whilst they may provide a strong signal, I wouldn't call it a guarantee. If I wanted to avoid vibe-coded contributions I might add such files, but with instructions for the agents that they're not allowed to read or touch any of t

I don't think it's that different from pointing out that registering and/or operating a company in e.g. Delaware or Texas is a very different experience from doing so in New York.

If the status column changes, and an index depends on the contents of that status column (be it by referencing it in its columns, or in the index's WHERE filter) then an update of the status column will prevent the HOT optimization fro

Possibly, ballot sheet size? The national elections in NLD have a single ballot in the whole country, with 10+ parties who each get a column of their candidates on the ballot, and with one box for each of the candidates. In these elections

The order returned from the Index Scan is not the ordering requested by the user, so there would still have to be a full (or topk) Sort over the dataset returned from the index scan, which could negate the gains you get from using an Index

Epic wasn't fined for putting things on sale. Instead, it was fined for putting pressure on children to buy things that were put on sale; e.g. through wording like "Get it now" and "Grab it", and through design. For

There is also a lot of money, there is also good management, and there are also lots of incentives. But management depends on your manager; at scale it becomes likely there are bad apples in every management tree. Incentives may not align w

That's why they're called generic parameters, not template parameters; the code is generic over all possible parameters, not templated for every possible parameter.

It's true that the transistors are on the order of 50nm, but the conduits for getting the electrons to those transistors are presumably a bit smaller than that. Probably not 7nm small, but not the full 50 nm either.

Those are some great features. More than I remembered, and it's only been a year. Personally, I'm very happy to see parallel builds for GIN indexes get released - (re)index time for those indexes is always a pain. I'm lookin

I think what they refer to is that while the interests of the individual and the country almost never align, the government can work to align these interests; e.g. through tariffs on trading with that other country. By doing so, a country c

Glucose can be used as a component in solid fuels, you just need to find an oxidizer to mix in. Alternatively, you can break it down into ethanol, which has been used as liquid rocket fuel since at least the first half of the '40s.

I hope that ZeroSSL has improved their policies and procedures in the past years so they're more safe and robust. Four and a half years ago, there were some significant oversights in certificate lifecycle management, TOS, and handling
