Why does the randomization have to happen in the database query? Assuming there aren't any large gaps in the distribution of IDs, and if you know the max_id, couldn't you pick a random number between min_id and max_id and get the record whose ID matches that random number?

Re:Htmx on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @03:18PM (#33989791)

We're migrating our apps from Vue.js to HTMX, and it has been a great experience. The size of our codebase has consistently gone down as we move things to HTMX, and it feels like the level of complexity goes down as well.

I highly recommend using HTMX.

I'm trying to find an article that was shared on HN recently that described different types of web applications and the recommended architecture to sue for each type (SPA, PWA, etc.)I think the article also had a Greek-sounding title.Thanks.

Ask HN: Will we ever be able to recover BitTorrent files from the piece hashes?

Posted by jonesnc on Wednesday March 23, 2022 @06:43PM
from the ask-hn dept.

sha1 hashes are not secure, and collisions can be practically produced by attackers.I'm wondering if these attack strategies could one day be used to find collisions for the pieces in a bittorrent archive to effectively "recover" the data that was originally used to create the bittorrent archive.Let's say the piece size is 4 KiB, that means there are 2^(8x4x1024) possible combinations of bytes...
