It also, AFAIR, gives you full reproducibility which is nice.

Ublock origin has this feature where it blocks large media files automatically (you have to click to load them). I use it for a long time and never had problems because of it.

There are plenty of cases where you can't just change the file layout. And the GPU filesystem is being implemented by someone else, so the choice is: migrate your data to another filesystem OR fix the data-in-files layout, even though

They were obviously on autopilot. People are sometimes tired, may be going through a lot, think about something else at the moment, and just don't read every sign on every doors they find. You sound a bit bitter here. I know I am frien

Is this lzma compressed? Hard to tell because of the lack of formatting, but this looks like amd64 shellcode to me. But that's not really important to the point - I'm not looking at a diff of every committed favicon.ico or ttf fon

Imagine someone tried to revert all the commits you ever did. Doesn't sound easy.

What's wrong with "start with sound" and "start without sound"? That's a guaranteed single click, whereas with a checkbox you need either one or two clicks.

1) yes, I gave you an example of a hash algorithm that is broken right now. SHA1 is only getting there, because the attacks are always only getting stronger. Responsible people don't wait until the attacks are practical and devastating

I can't walk into a store and pay with USD either. It doesn't mean USD is not a currency, it's just not usually accepted by stores in my country. I use Monero semi-regularly to pay for things online (usually privacy products,

I'll rephrase a bit for the HN crowd: "The Ethereum currency (Ether) value proposition is that it is used to pay for decentralized apps on the Ethereum Blockchain. The more application and users are there, the more Ether is needed

As the OP said, the cryptocurrency you're looking for is Monero.

That sounds suspicious. Maybe a few years back out would work, but now cryptocurrency is pretty regulated. And at the same time it's not battle tested. Any CFO who signs of on something like that risks shareholder fury when anything go

I use it everywhere where it's an option (so not very often, let's say once a month). I also only use privacy services (vpn for example) where you can pay using cryptocurrency, otherwise what's the point

That's not true. For every non-trivial[1] question I've asked chatgpt hallucinated and then kept hallucinating no matter how many times I've asked, clarified, or gave it hints. [1] i.e. specific to my niche where i didn'

In many cases yes, but: What if you publish multiple tools in a single package? What if you publish a package for a web service called X, but also include a tool for it called xcli? What if your package is primarily a library, but you also

Birthday attach is a real attack and often useful in practice. "Just use brute force" is a huge oversimplification, but the SO link explains it in more detail. One time pad is not a hash algorithm so obviously a generic attack on

Do you mean with the current public knowledge or hypothetically? For md5 all of these are doable right now (except maybe code that "makes sense"for human reader). Also in practice it's much easier to do this with a data file,

when I type "age" into a spreadsheet it is text. When I type "23" into a spreadsheet I can later use it as a number without converting to another type. People want and expect this behavior. What is your preferred solutio

They kind of do. In my language there exists a central "governing" body that decides what is correct, and some "incorrect" regionalisms are disappearing because of it.

I clicked this link because the question is interesting. Yes the answer won't change my life, or even make me more money, but it got me curious. That's why I don't think your response is helpful or insightful.

First: can we stop calling cryptocurrencies "crypto"? It's short for cryptography. Second: What is the point of this article being on HN? It doesn't really bring anything to the discussion. In fact, this is just an invit

Sorry for being cynical, but from your message it sounds like you were working hard with regulators to comply as little as possible not to get sued. Which makes sense - I mean it was probably just business - but doesn't mean you were n

Clear water freezes exactly at 0 degrees. I guess the graduality depends on if you think about this as interpolating the water temperature, or interpolating the energy given/taken from a body of water.

If a process can be measured by a linearly growing metric I'd say it's predictible. And of course scientists try to understand complex processes and make them more predictible. That distinguishes science from magic. You said that

You can check the code it generated in the long OP provided (this button is not very visible so I understand if you missed it).

I don't know what exactly "emergent" means in this context, but doesn't ice appear pretty rapidly? It appears between -1 and 1 degrees, and when cooling down from 100 to 75 to 50 to 25 water you would learn nothing about
