People who buy a game and don't play it, usually don't download it either. And many cheap games don't have huge downloads either.

The state of RC4 consists of a random permutation of bytes. Whenever it outputs a value, it further permutes the state by swapping some bytes of the state. Th xor swap trick sets one of these values to zero, whenever RC4 attempts to swap the same item within the permutation. This gradually zeros out the state, until RC4 outputs the plaintext.

I'm surprised that an optimizing compiler lets this case even hit the general `pow` runtime function. I'd have expected it to replace this call by `x * x` so it doesn't hit the expensive general `pow` function.

I find it strange as well that no unit test caught this. Squaring a negative number is definitely a case I'd expect to be covered. Perhaps compiler optimization made this case work in the unit test, allowing the runtime function to break? And then it broken in .net where the JIT compiler is dumber than the C++ compiler?

Most critical OS functionality will use integers, not floats. And I'd expect most programmers to write squaring a float as `x * x`.

The tweet claims that "Assets left on an exchange for 3 years will transferred to the state, and can then be claimed by the owner." That sounds rather crazy to me.

People leave assets, be they stocks or crypto-currency, on broker accounts for many years all the time. Is there an equivalent law for stocks as well? And how can a customer reset the clock? Just by logging in?

It's about assets on exchanges. Exchanges know who owns the account and where they live.

> To put it simply, the bill, once passed, allows the state of California to seize cryptocurrencies left unclaimed on exchanges for 3 years, which can then be claimed by their owners.

> Notably, the bill earlier mentioned crypto self-custody provisions which have been deleted.

How is it working for your non IT friends? I made the switch when Windows 8.1 went out of support, rather than switch to 10. And while proton worked much better for gaming than expected, there were enough complications to make the switch difficult for a non technical person.

after short help with bumping kernel version for one friend(newest AMD cards weren't supported in default kernel included with mint at that point).. it just works - they are gaming without issues.

Could be 2x8 + 2x4. Mine has 2x32 + 2x8, since I upgraded from 16 to 80 instead of 64.

Generally Typst looks like a significant improvment over LaTeX to me. The language is cleaner and easier to understand, and the first class scripting support is appealing. Its embeddability and templating features make it an interesting option for automated PDF generation (e.g. invoices) as well.

However its handling of introspection and convergence gives me a bad feeling.
