Mostly Electron. I don't like it either, but Electron is a fact of life now. While you don't have to join in on that as a developer, you still have to be aware that 95% of users will have no idea that their instant…
Yes, but in the real world there are a lot of opportunities for implementation failure.
AES is one of the few that has a pretty good shot at it, yeah. SHA-2 has had its margin eroded significantly over the last 10 years. I'd feel nervous about using it in security-critical applications now, never mind 20…
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. 20 years is a long time in cryptography, and it'll be surprising if more than a handful of current cryptoprimitives live that long.
They can easily be remotely disabled if there's any suspicious activity, ie to any other server than the telemetry backend.
I've noticed that Coke Zero bottles that were left out in the sun lose most of their sweetness and taste awful. Maybe there's some photosensitive compound in the sweetener.
There are IoT SIMs available on most major carriers, which are intended for economical occasional low-data usage on large numbers of devices. They're popular in GPSes among other things. 5G is looking to reduce the cost…
> In my experience with language design, a little bit of syntactic sugar can have transformative results. Promises/async functions in JS and C# do absolutely nothing that you couldn't do without them. But they've had a…
Googling for "julian assange paranoid" will give you some examples. I'm hesitant to point the finger at a specific example, because I wasn't thinking of one in particular.

In many interpersonal relationships, a trauma response causes you to become more liable to ending up in the same situation, not less. Do not underestimate how many people end up reliving their trauma over and over…
This looks absolutely brilliant.
I'm pretty sure there is more extensive literature involving the exact types of degradation that is characteristic to the disease, but I do not think I'm competent to cite it correctly. I'd imagine this process isn't so…
Asterisk. I meant in the long term. In the very short term, hospital can be an option, but asylums no longer exist in first-world nations. Our treatment systems simply do not currently have an effective long-term way of…

Thank you for that! I hadn't seen it before. I'm a little nervous about the idea of coming to conclusions about individual outcomes based on national surveys of self-reported diagnoses. It seems like there are vast…
This is a really dangerous and misleading way to look at bipolar. The disease proper of bipolar disorder is progressive and degenerative. This progression is accompanied by structural changes in the brain [1] as well as…
Australia speaking. We get a buttload of spam calls from China (in Chinese, no less).
