doctorKrieger··on Beijing From Above, aka How I was police detained for flying a Quadcopter

doctorKrieger··on The New Haskell Homepage
looks kinda generic but it's quite nice.
doctorKrieger··on Don’t Be Scared Of Functional Programming
one of the points of the article is wrong, fp isn't stateless at all it just tends to represent state in a different way - look at monads in haskell.
doctorKrieger··on A Programming War Between 545 Wizards
i would love to play one of these, provided it would be c++/python/haskell based.
doctorKrieger··on Why I’m not worried about GHash and 51%
It's worth nothing that you don't need 51% to attack bitcoin , there are some probabilistic attacks for adversaries with smaller share in the network.
doctorKrieger··on BitTorrent Chat: The Want For Privacy
You haven't answered my question, i was asking whether you've removed all the possible information leak cases or not.

Yes the message timing , payload size and ip you're connecting to is leaking some information aswell and can be monitored e.g on a ISP level.

doctorKrieger··on Why The Student Loan Market Is Insane
Nah i'm in Computer Science aswell, although i'm planning to hit data science instead of software engineering. As for the degree i'm mostly doing it in case i'd like to go and do a PhD.
doctorKrieger··on BitTorrent Chat: The Want For Privacy
@1 Is the connection in Bittorrent Chat working the same way as in tor? And are you randomizing payload size + providing some kind of delivery delay? If not you are still susceptible to attacks. As for the configuration part, it's relatively easy to install appropriate plugin in ekg or pidgin.
doctorKrieger··on Why The Student Loan Market Is Insane
oh you must be joking, i'm graduating from top1 polish university and even the professors are saying the quality of education is piss poor -but well whan can you expect when the TA's are getting paid around 1500 zloty (500$) and the professors are grabbing ~4000zloty (a bit more than 1000$). But there are parts in which you are right - the graduation rate is 30% and the quality of education in paid unis is even worse. And no we're not sought after in the country because we tend to leave it.

doctorKrieger··on The Wrong Way to Treat Child Geniuses
call me cynical but the only thing I expected when going to the comment section was lament of people perceiving themselves as prodiges, and people talking about smart people they know which focus on family.
doctorKrieger··on So You’re Not Desirable
pua is usefull only when you want to get sex, but honestly considering the time you have to put into mastering pua, you can safely get a second job and pay for hookers, at least it'd be less random.

Also the book was utter garbage i've read around 30% of it and fell asleep.
