I agree with you. Maybe the better question is why does anyone think it shouldn't compile? And then we can ask how much programming history they know. I think it's useful to know how C compilers, the C specification and…
That's my main problem with OpenSSL: it tries to be so much more than SSL (despite it's name), and with all that extra functionality comes more responsibility, e.g. a much higher auditing burden. OpenSSL is an…
This is why I often feel it is an utter waste of time to read HN. Alas, people like you are not always around to correct people like Mr. Welch and reign in the ignorance. God only knows how many readers will read…
I remember. I must admit it annoys me sometimes how easily impressed kids are with something like Google. And a lot of it seems to stem from "scale". The web is much larger than in 1995, computers are more powerful, but…
How about MatrixSSL? I've given up on the SSL libraries in favor of simpler, non-IETF offerings from a seemingly maverik yet brillliant crytographer who is very focused on performance, but I'd be curious what you think…
Reading this I could not help but think of humans as fish, other mammals or some other organism being "tagged" and "tracked", without their consent (but with some purported benefit to the organism, agreed upon by the…
What is the computer? The cell? Python code is not DNA. Even to say binary is DNA seems a stretch, and of course it's quaternary. With cells, there is no single "front-side bus". There is Brownian motion, geometry (e.g.…
... but fails to generate as much quality journalism as even one US newspaper. Define quality journalism however you wish, but please consult a definition of journalism, e.g. how to write, edit and report news. The…
Nice. ;)
I love the idea behind this company. I wish her every success. We need more entrepreneurs with this type of vision.
"Public policy should not be dictated by emotions." But the media knows that a large share of their "news business" is driven by emotion. And so here we are all thinking about mass shootings. And we know the media has…
I'd like to be able to use pipelining without having to de-chunk. That is, thanks to the the HTTP/1.1 protocol I have never found a server that accepts pipelined requests and delivers unchunked output. Is there a reason…
Is there any limit to what type of info you could place in the 32 byte SSID field? It could be an email address. It could be some other plain text. It could be encrypted text. It could be a public key. It could be a 32…
I still love the VAX. Even after all these years it still seems like a robust computer, much for the reason bdfh42 cited: it's built to last. Alas, how many computers are built with that intention today? I don't use…
