Proof of Pollution based mining is just one reason why the anarcho-crypto-libertarianism of a decade ago has produced an abomination not the utopia its founders dreamed of.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This article demonstrates the abilities of a PVS-Studio static analyzer in detecting bugs and security weaknesses in code of the Android operating system. I wonder what it would detect if run on itself?
Yes, an advert for PVS Studio, but I still thought its results were interesting.

They have done a lot of these analyses on Open Source projects, publishing and sharing the results with the teams involved. I can find no fault with that approach.

18-year-old Ewin Tang has proven that classical computers can solve the “recommendation problem” nearly as fast as quantum computers. The result eliminates one of the best examples of quantum speedup. The quantum computers will still have the "great in 5-10 years" feature

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Despite a lone report claiming that online piracy is the primary source of malware, spam still reigns supreme as today's main infection vector and the go-to tool of online criminals, according to a report published yesterday by Finnish cyber-security firm F-Secure.

A few years ago, I crafted a bootable floppy disk and a retro game which fit in a tweet. Since then, Twitter doubled the length of tweets, so I decided to handcraft a bootable CD. The bootable disk runs a slightly improved version of tron. I'll just be boggling in the corner
