Oh neat, this is scala via scalajs.

This looks extremely cool.

It confuses me why they wouldn't just verify the images since they have the signature in the manifest. Is this because they don't want to wait for a complete image before the start streaming through the pipeline? Is this actually a significant time saver?

I'm the king of using ambiguous terminology (I wish I were clever enough to be ambiguous right now).

fork the code and post the benchmark results

how much emphasis to give to which messages is always the hardest part for me to writing these posts. I'll keep in mind that at times I can be too subtle.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you left this as a comment on the original post.

Sure, but it's not a post about the bestest solution. It's a post about how using more advanced math can ("can" not "will") lead to a worse solution for your context. Fibonacci numbers in a long int is certainly a toy example; but it's a toy example that had an actual reference.

I do distinguish between math and Math. Decide for yourself what that distinction means.

best and scariest quote of the post

  Twitter has a PIN code feature that requires every message to be prepended with a four-digit alphanumeric code. This feature mitigates the issue, but is not available to users inside the United States.

So they fixed the problem... but are withholding the fix from tons of users?

try a `gem update`. Memory performance should be much better now but I'm still curious about speed

the code isn't special. but it's easy for anyone to install and use
