Dx5IQ··on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator
It is hard to imagine that "modern" encryption would be susceptible to known plaintext attacks, please provide some citations.
Dx5IQ··on James Webb, Hubble space telescopes face reduction in operations
Which is ironic given where this is posted. Do all startups yield a net result? Either to the VCs or the humanity?
Dx5IQ··on Python’s new t-strings
Such library functions tend to also accept a string as a valid input. E.g. db.execute from the GP usually works with strings to allow non-parametrized SQL queries.
Dx5IQ··on The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World
It's difficult to call Madhava's work calculus as we know it. He and his school certainly made huge contributions to analysis of infinite series, but they did not develop that into a unifying framework. It's important to note that no mathematics is done in a vacuum, if Newton/Leibniz "invented" Calculus, it's by building on top of hundreds of years of work done throughout the world.
Dx5IQ··on Fixing a memory leak of xmlEntityPtr in librsvg
This is a classic problem you can make in any language. If you were doing Java, and forgot to use `finally` for a resource, you'd have a leak due to an exception.

Dx5IQ··on Show HN: Open-source alternatives to tools You pay for
Are the stars on the website just made up?

Maybe it's meant to list "free alternatives" which is completely valid thing to do.

Why do you even need systems if you're using docker-compose? As long as your docker daemon starts up, docker compose can do the rest
Dx5IQ··on Database “sharding” came from Ultima Online?
Fixed the typo, sorry!
Dx5IQ··on Tell HN: YouTube's web UI just got even worse
You can use this Android add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-backgro...
Dx5IQ··on Gpwgraph – PipeWire Graph Qt GUI Interface
I love this! It makes it trivial to route audio to/from any devices and programs. Does anyone know anything similar for Windows?
Dx5IQ··on Experiments spell doom for physical-collapse explanation of quantum weirdness
Observer effect while applicable is distinct from Quantum Weirdness aka Heisenberg Uncertainty
Dx5IQ··on Coinbase lays off around 1,100 employees
>Why should so few individuals have outsized social, political and economic power over the whole country?

You just answered the question. Because they are the elected representatives. If you didn't trust them, why did you elect them in the first place?
