Kurt Gödel's 1931 proof showed that any formal system, including Principia Mathematica, is either incomplete or inconsistent, meaning it cannot prove all true statements or prove a false statement. This discovery, known as Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, limits the ability of formal systems to capture all mathematical truths and has far-reaching implications for mathematics, logic, and ...

Signing data structures the wrong way

Snowpack is a system that uses random, immutable 64-bit domain separators in the IDL to prevent domain separation bugs in cryptographic data. It ensures canonical encodings and guarantees that the sender and receiver agree on the type of data, making it a simple and effective solution for serialization of inputs to cryptographic functions.

Show HN: QWERTY mini Pro – Why a 2-row, 16-key keyboard works better

If you go down to 15 keys or fewer, you can’t keep all five vowels as independent keys. That forces awkward combinations, increases double-taps, and hurts typing efficiency. If you go above 17 keys, the keys get smaller, touch accuracy drops, and the advantage over standard QWERTY starts to disappear. With only two rows, each key has enough height for clear up/down swipes. This makes it ...
