Is this just spiped with MD5 instead of HMAC-SHA256? https://www.tarsnap.com/spiped.html

Congratulations! Talk to the charge nurse to change rooms, escalate to the admin on call if needed. Get the sleep now while you can.
I get IVIG 3x / week for a primary immune deficiency I’ve had since birth. For my dosage, it’s billed weekly at a rate of ~$32K of which my insurance company pays around ~$3K. I hit my max out of pocket the first month…
UNIX systems programming can be accomplished by looking at man pages and referencing kernel / user land source code. I find something cathartic writing C applications and tools. Perhaps I should seek professional help.

Just in the event someone out there is looking to work on these types of problems, Amazon's Personalization teams are absolutely hiring. Homepage: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/teams/personalization-and-recomme... Applied…
Who says they can't see the URL? A sufficiently motivate government would probably be able to create forged certificates and mass interception isn't really out of the question. Especially with browsers homogenizing on…
I find it impossible to replace a legacy system without first understanding the legacy system. It's easy to say "X is old" or "X sucks at Y" but keep in mind that applications have a strong survivor bias. Ask yourself,…
I'm a new parent and I need to track when my son eats/poops/pees etc. There are times when my hands aren't available. I built a tiny "app" that just records these things to a google spreadsheet for me. I also like the…
It's a hard problem to determine the repeat purchase cadence of a product. At one end of the bell curve you have items re-purchased frequently, e.g. diapers or grocery, and on the other end you have items that are…
Amazon Personalization. We use ML/Deep Learning for customer to product recommendations and product to product recommendations. For years we used only algorithms based on basic statistics but we've found places where…
Cool! I would suggest changing the branding to "a simple job board for people with disabilities." For many people the disability is a part of who they are - it's not how they self identify. See some of the existing…
"Note that we do not accept pull requests" Strange.
I was really hoping for an retrospective about a multi-armed bandit learning algorithm that ran in production but never experimented, effectively yielding a "zero-armed bandit".
Is it used to derive separate HMAC and AES keys or is the same key used in both contexts?
This is awesome. Congrats on the launch Flo :)
My discrete math and logic undergraduate course was in Coq. It was a brutal way to learn the proof process at first but it was worth the investment by the end. It's the logic equivalent of TDD. If you are interested in…
For eight years of my life, I was this "Do-Everything Rockstar." I was also a student for the majority of that time. I certainly wasn't a "programming deity" -- I was just a kid that was presented with the opportunity…
I wrote a similar system for C# - we had three queues per application, work, delay, and error. In our system, the deferred queue used per-message TTLs that would push messages back onto the work queue. This allowed us…

We use tarsnap (http://www.tarsnap.com) to handle our offsite backups. If you give your production servers write only keys you can mitigate this risk (and not send your backups across the wire in the clear).
