syzo··on Lime – Experimental Sublime Text clone
Personally, I've been hoping for an open Sublime Text, so this is pretty interesting to me.
syzo··on Insecurities in the Linux /dev/random
My examples with pairs and n-tuples are also distributions.
syzo··on Insecurities in the Linux /dev/random
you can also check that (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), and (2,2) all happen with expected frequencies (i.e. roughly 25%), where the two numbers in the pair are just two numbers in a row in the sequence. You would have gotten 100% (1,2) and 0% for the rest, so that's suspicious.

same for 3-tuples, 4-tuples, ..., and n-tuples.

There's probably other, more sophisticated tests as well, but I'm not an expert.

syzo··on Ask HN: Have you made a profit mining Bitcoin?
I got in on it back when bitcoins were around $1 each. I sold 10btc at the first $30 bubble, and made enough to buy a new video card, and I still have somewhere between 60 and 70 btc left. Haven't touched it or payed attention to it much after that, besides checking the price every once in a while.
syzo··on H2 {position: sticky} [video]
I'd like to see this for footers; have the footer at the bottom of the browser if the content is too small, or the bottom of the webpage if the content is large enough for the user to scroll. After skimming the video, I'm not sure if this would be possible with "position: sticky".
syzo··on Google Reader is dead
Do you use Youtube to watch videos? Google to search?

Also, what do you do for email, roll your own? Got any tutorials if so (I sorta want to start dropping Google myself - search and Youtube will be tough though)? Anything I found was a bit too complicated or I just didn't want to spend that much time on it.

syzo··on The NSA Can't Tell the Difference Between an American and a Foreigner
It's simply useful in this case since it's the 4th of July, and people are protesting to protect 4th amendment rights. But yes, I generally agree with you.
