The Weekly Weird - 2016-10-14
- This is going to be a short one because I'm frankly completely overwhelmed by following every single development of the election. My most favoritest part is how an obscure implementation detail in exception handling in democracy_v2.ElectPresident() could lead to Egg McMuffin winning.
- How Iron Man discovered a new element. For more, and to see the <table> element stretched far beyond what god intended, see Table of nuclides (complete). Via Metafilter.
- There are a ton of great videos from the OpenZFS summit, including encryption at rest and better tracing than even dtrace on ubuntu.
- I somehow missed the buzzword of a 12-factor app, so there you go.
- A very boring title, "A kilobit hidden SNFS discrete logarithm computation", belies an implication that Diffie-Hellman key exchange is far weaker if certain primes are used. HN comments.
- Buffalo^8 is just the beginning.
