still waiting for my copy...

maybe I am just a wizened cynic but her plug for her book in the middle of that was an awful choice..

Uber should be raized and the earth salted..

The book plug didn’t bother me at all. Uber has always behaved unethically as a company, so the story is not surprising to me. The only thing that’s surprising was there was an engineering group composed of 25% women at some point in the company.

@codeslubber i thought that was a little weird too

it’s clear they have a rotten management team..

@srayhunter especially when you consider that she is telling a story with a large number of victims...

yep, agreed

One thing I noticed with the 25% and 6% was that she didn't mention how large the team was, which can make quite a difference. For all we know the team grew exponentially and they just didn't manage to hire any new women.

I agree absolute numbers would have been more clear. It was interesting to read the story though since I’d seen it referenced a couple of times in the last few days.

@charlesv has left the channel

Interesting, I remember reading that something theorized it would be possible to create a collision ~5 months ago given about 100,000 dollars of compute time on AWS. (and reading another article, the attack would have cost ~110k on AWS if run during off-peak hours, so looks like they got it right)

So how does Sha 256 compare?

When can we expect to hit the next wall?

2073 or 2074 A.D.

2^(256-160) = a lot

If they say 100k times more is impractical (brute force vs their finding), then compare that to 2^96 times moar.

And then quantum computing comes…

friends, has anyone tried Lightbend's Lagom with Kotlin?

Is there any plan for launching a Kotlin certification ?

Oh, why?

Preparing for the exam makes you learn some details of the language. Merely getting the cert so you could get a job seems pointless to me.

Hmm, good point. But then we need something different, e.g. “puzzle cards” 🙂

Thumbs up for the pointless part.. 🙂 I would like cards.. Duolingo won app of the year on ios last year it’s so simplistic, but it does do some smart things..

...so I have a file with .NET serialized data, which I parse with Kotlin-JVM, and now I'm porting it to Kotlin-JS and then will use it in Typescript project...

Rob bonne idée 👌

Is there any documentation or examples for using xodus with Kotlin?
