Large-scale quantum computers have the potential to break common asymmetric cryptography used on the Internet, leading to the need for post-quantum cryptography. NIST’s PQC competition identified potential algorithms for this transition, but many believe the current standards are not sufficient for deployment due to large signature and public key sizes. Algorithms like ML-DSA, UOV, SQISign, […]
Childhood is not always innocent; it can be terrifying, shaping lasting fears from disturbing experiences. Scarfolk, a fictional 1970s dystopian town created by Richard Littler, portrays a paranoid, totalitarian community where even babies are suspect. Inspired by his eerie childhood memories, Littler uses authentic designs to create haunting art that blurs reality. Scarfolk reflects the […]

David R. MacIver emphasizes the importance of identifying constraints to overcome plateaus. The author shares a personal anecdote about meeting his wife, Johanna, and her unique blend of curiosity and ignorance. Johanna’s journey of self-improvement is highlighted through her pursuit of education and gardening knowledge. She utilizes massive input learning to deeply understand garden design […]
DoorDash transitioned from Aurora PostgreSQL to CockroachDB, uncovering a rare “one-in-a-million” bug autofiled by Sentry’s crash reporting module. Nondeterminism’s double-edged nature in Computer Science is explored, with demonic nondeterminism making distributed systems debugging difficult due to near-impossible bug reproduction. The innovative Antithesis platform, inspired by FoundationDB, simulates deterministic failures to reproduce bugs autonomously and efficiently. […]
The Atari ST computers made their debut in 1985, marking a significant shift in the computer market landscape of the 80s. As the era progressed, the competition dwindled down to just a few major players, including Atari ST. The Falcon030, introduced in 1992, boasted impressive innovations such as the VIDEL video chip and Motorola 56001 […]
