Toxide | 2 years ago | on: ELF hash function may overflow

Is this a bug? Nowhere in the function is the restriction of being under 32bits provided. Seems more like a problem with the specification.

Fabien if you are reading this. What keyboard is that? It looks like you have removable switches given the gap, but the key caps also look quite thin making the gap more pronounced. Curious what you got going there.

Toxide | 3 years ago | on: Proposed class action alleges that Apple tracks users despite privacy assurances

Nobody does, that's why you can claim you didn't know. The law has to respect what most of society would do. Famously, hockey teams were held liable for people getting injured by flying pucks, despite each ticket to the game having an agreement that if bought the ticket you accepted the risk. But nobody reads the back of the ticket. In the end the arena put up nets to catch the pucks.

Toxide | 3 years ago | on: NYU’s firing of Professor Maitland Jones Jr. should frighten every American

There was a quite a difficult math course at my university, the solution they found was to split the course into two courses. Seemed liked a sensible solution.

When I read articles like this I feel there must be more to the story if both sides are so dug in that they cannot find an amicable solution.

It should be noted too that this an opinion piece and the author seems quick to blame this on racial diversity quotas.
