The comment you replied to was: "The only good products Google has ever built in-house are [...]"

I don't have enough information to judge how much of Chrome was original work and how much was pre-existing work. Though I guess by now, after nearly 20 years, Chrome's codebase looks absolutely nothing like KHTML.

I see some irony here. For a period of time, Google chose not to include JPEG XL in Chrome because vulnerabilities in the library could compromise the software - a legitimate concern. Yet, Google is the author of the Brotli data compression format a decade before the JPEG XL drama, and was happy to use it in Chrome and encourage others to use the library, despite the fact that it also increases the attack surface.

I was hoping the statement at the bottom would be written in past tense: eMudhra was a global provider of digital identity ... had temporarily enabled secure digital transformation ... Its product suite spanned CertiNext...

You can't do that because an RSA private key contains two numbers - the modulus and the exponent. Even better, an RSA private key usually has the modulus stored as its two factors rather than their product.

Also note that using small numbers like 65537 for RSA public exponents is common practice.

> Bruh, you just literally went ——— BEGIN PUBLIC KEY ——— 4 ——— END PUBLIC KEY ———

No, their private key is 4. Moreover, you wouldn't see the literal number 4 because the PEM key file would have the cryptographic sections encoded in base64.

I'm impressed that Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange (presumably US-based) uses UTC for things like resetting daily vote limits.

> But yay, democracy? We can do anything as long as no one is subjectivly harmed.

Prospective residents and transit riders are harmed.

Rules and hearings overwhelmingly favor existing residents. If an existing resident opposes construction nearby due to noise, traffic, etc., the city will probably grant his wish. Because that piece of land is off limits for denser housing, now prospective residents face a smaller housing supply, higher prices, and longer commutes.

I use OpenSCAD as my primary design tool for 3D modeling. I get things done, but it isn't easy, and it's hard to recommend it to other people. OpenSCAD really requires the user to mathematics, trigonometry, mental visualization, and programming beforehand as prerequisites - unlike mainstream CAD programs which are more point-and-click friendly. Performing fillets and chamfers on corners is quite tedious, and describing a screw thread as a polyhedron is a nightmare, but I overcame these challenges.

On the plus side, I like these things about OpenSCAD:

* The software is open source, so price or pirating are not barriers, you can use it as much as you want on any computer you want for as long as you want, and it can never be taken away from you.

* The program is small and easy to download, not some multi-gigabyte sprawling software package.

* I think you learn to declare variables for parameters very early on, and it feels natural to make every design parametric from the start.

* The textual nature of 3D models means that I can use Git version control, diff between versions, and leverage similar developer-oriented tools that I use for general programming. I suspect that CAD programs that use binary file formats will have to come with their own diff tool and version control system.

* By reading source code, it's possible to follow the thought process of how a 3D model is constructed, and carefully make modifications in the middle of a chain of operations that later operations depend on. In point-and-click CAD, it's not clear to me if it's possible to change things in the middle of a chain.

* The Manifold renderer is so much faster than the old CGAL, resulting in reasonable human-interactive cycle times.

* I ended up writing my own library to cover a bunch of common shapes / use-cases. It does take some effort the first time, but then I keep reusing the results.

This project looks extremely ambitious. Are these applications coded by AI by any chance? I can't find any easy documentation about the development process.
