  • Trump DOJ refuses to comply with judge’s order on return of wrongly deported dad

    Jump

  • Emphisis on this: the judge didn't even order to bring him back. The judge ordered them to outline the steps to bring him back. The Trump Admin can't even do that.

    Until SCOTUS says otherwise, that is.

  • Possible. The other possibility is that they absolutely do not want a first hand account of what's going on inside to be available to the press.

  • Didn't Middle Earth lore say the Earth was flat, but was made spherical later? Had that happened by then?

  • Along those lines, consider the decision for why the Model S charge port is where it is, according to Tesla's former chief engineer:

    https://electrek.co/2025/01/31/teslas-charge-port-location-is-due-to-elon-musks-garage-layout-says-lucid-ceo/

    tl;dr: you don't want it directly in the front-center (like the Nissan Leaf) because a minor fender bender will ruin it. Front-driver's side is a good choice that a lot of other manufactures are going to. Elon didn't want that, because it didn't line up with his Bel Air garage. So they stuck it in back, but due to the way Tesla Superchargers are laid out, it now means Tesla drivers have to back into the parking space.

  • me when i find out i can use ssh to sign my git commits

  • I know it because I've actually implemented RSA as an exercise and know how it works.

    What you're talking about with hashes is an implementation detail. It's an important one, because using exactly the same algorithm for signing and encryption has some security pitfalls, and it will usually be slower. However, the function you call is exactly the same. The hash is encrypted with the private key. It can be verified by generating the same hash, decrypting with the public key, and matching the two hashes.

    See also: https://cryptobook.nakov.com/digital-signatures/rsa-signatures

    Signing a message msg with the private key exponent d:

    • Calculate the message hash: h = hash(msg)
    • Encrypt h to calculate the signature: s = hd (mod n)

    The operation "hd (mod n)" is just RSA encryption, but with the private key.

  • Mathematically, signing is encryption using the private key. That's how the algorithm works. The input to the function is irrelevant.

  • We have the wife of the world's most famous pro wrestling promoter, who someone gave the title of Secretary of Education. You may ask why the the wife of the world's most famous pro wrestling promoter is Secretary of Education. As in, that is a question that may be asked.

  • I can make the sound of one hand clapping.

    It was a thing that went around my middle school. You keep your hand at about a 90 degree angle to your arm, and then flap back and forth with your fingers loose so it hits your palm. Takes a little practice.

  • None, this is all theory. It can still be a contradiction on paper.

  • It's contradictory to imply any existing bank is socialist. Many branches are ultimately reaching for a moneyless society, anyway, so even a socialist bank would be transitionary.

  • If Fox News wants to frame it as "capitulation", let them. That's a dirty word to them, and it will affect supporters who were already having second thoughts about how senseless this whole thing is.

  • Oh, they do, but not as the primary or secondary. You can wrap depleated uranium around the core to capture fast neutrons that are leftover from the rest of the process. Changing the number of layers is how you can dial in a desired yield.

  • if you can solve logic puzzles, you’ll make a decent programmer.

    I mean, that's what Google did several years ago. They stopped because data showed it didn't mean anything.

    That said, debugging existing code is a more realistic test of what you'll be doing on any programming job, as opposed to writing anything from scratch.

  • If it were a question about the tradeoffs of different sort algorithms and how they might apply to a given problem, I would agree. That's not what these interview questions are about.
