The patient seems to be struggling with many issues. As agreed to, the patient has been writing diaries. A very human thing to do...


Excerpt from patient's diary:

"Notes: Purest motivation, concentration? Muscular strength and functionality reduced. What is happening?"

    Well, this is the first in a series of fictional pieces (deviating from my usual factual style).
    They contain a mystery, see if you can solve it, before the big finale!!

Why you (yes, you!) should be using Telegram

 If you've not been living under a rock these past few months, you will have heard about the (now postponed) changes to WhatsApp's privacy policy. There are some problematic things about their privacy policy already, but I'll not be spending your precious time discussing legal and bureaucratic nonsense. Instead, I want to talk about and highlight some things that may or may not allow you to come to the (obviously correct) conclusion that you should be using an open-source messaging app like Telegram or Signal. Disclaimer: I am not sponsored by, nor was this article commissioned by, Telegram, LLC or any other company. I just happen to really like open-source software and think that Telegram is a great app. Now, as for why you shouldn't be using WhatsApp. Proprietary software is hazardous at best. In general, there are two types of software: proprietary and open-source. Proprietary being software where the underlying source code is not available to the end-user. Open-sour...

The case for unmanaged programming languages: data management

 Welcome back! This is the second and final part in a series of articles about why unmanaged programming languages are the best. In this article, I will be covering the ways in which unmanaged programming languages, such as C++, are far superior to managed languages when it comes to data management and manipulation. Pointers Pointers are literally the best thing since sliced bread...  They seem like such a simple concept, but oh man are they powerful! Basically, a pointer is a variable that holds a memory address. It's actually a little more simple than that. A pointer, at it's lowest level, just holds an integer. This means you can do integer arithmetic with it. It might not be immediately obvious why this is useful, but I'll get to that in a minute. The first thing pointers allow you to do that is pretty neat is to change the data type of a variable very easily. Now, this isn't strictly speaking converting the data to another ty...

The genius of public-key cryptography

Most people have come across cryptography in some way, shape or form. To most people, it's just a way of encrypting a message in such a way that only the intended receiver can decrypt it. In this article, I will be exploring the benefits of public-key cryptography, most notably RSA, as well as explaining the basic concept behind computer cryptography for the uninitiated. Cryptography (intro) So, if this is the first time you've heard of cryptography, this section is meant for you! The basic concept of cryptography is relatively simple: You take a message and, combining it with some type of secret shared between sender and recipient, turn the message into something that cannot be understood without said secret. If you've ever come up with some sort of secret code in your childhood (or early adult life, no judgement here), you've probably done cryptography, even if you didn't know it. The simplest form of symmetric-key cryptography is the Cesar Cipher. The way it work...
