MelmanGI··on Update Your Bitbucket Cloud SSH Host Keys
Strange response in my opinion. They seem to explain step by step how to add trust for the new keys, but fail to explain how to remove trust for the old leaked keys.

Am I missing something?

MelmanGI··on Security update for IntelliJ-based IDEs v2016.1 and older versions
What is the built-in web server used for and how can I disable it?
MelmanGI··on Automatic Image Colorization with Simultaneous Classification
Thank you for the hint!

Found a video [1] colorized with the approach by these guys with the unstable coloring.

There are some other videos [2][3] colorized using differing approaches, that don't seem to have as much color unstability though the color in general appears more off.

Could of course also just be a property of the underlying source.

MelmanGI··on A Haskell Reading List
> Here is a list of papers and writings of what I consider are essential Haskell reading

Most of those papers are really not "essential" for getting things done in Haskell.

If you want to dig deeper into Haskell's type system or Category Theory in general, then yes, there are a lot of good papers in that list.

If you just want to write safe, conscious and understandable code, then you are much better off reading the excellent "Haskell Programming from first priciples" [1] or the slightly outdated "Real World Haskell" [2].

MelmanGI··on Automatic Image Colorization with Simultaneous Classification
I would really like to see approaches like these applied to movie scenes. Especially how differences in single colorized frames depicting the same scene could be handled.

MelmanGI··on Stopping All Stations – The Pyongyang Metro
There's also this article of the same series on playing golf on North Korea's single golf course which I found even more interesting:

MelmanGI··on GitHub spy on user reading emails (2014)
Well, they sent the email in the first place. So they obviously already know the content.
MelmanGI··on Quantum Computer Comes Closer to Cracking RSA Encryption
The PGCRYPTO project [1] a few months ago published a paper with initial recommendations [2] on which algorithms and parameters should work.

MelmanGI··on Show HN: Nuclino – a lightweight and fast real-time wiki for teams
Probably something more semantically structured than HTML. Markdown could be an option. Maybe something that could be reimported for a 'rogue employee gone mad' scenario?

An export/backup feature would also be nice. Don't wanna have to trust your average SaaS provider keeping your important stuff backed up properly. ;-)
MelmanGI··on Show HN: Nuclino – a lightweight and fast real-time wiki for teams
Love that markdown editor, very fast and easy to use. Well done! Although they could improve the contrast a bit (or maybe my screen just sucks).

Probably will give this a try with a few colleagues and see if it scales when you accumulate a larger amount of documents.

MelmanGI··on Show HN: CuriosityStream – Netflix for non-fiction
What share of your content is available globally?
MelmanGI··on Code highlighting is wonderful, but we're having too much of it
I think he has a point especially regarding underlining and highlighting by coloring the background of words, which can often be hard to distinguish. I am quite used to IntelliJ's Darcula theme though and like most of the defaults there.

Does anyone know if there was ever done some serious research on this?
