Latest progress on my programming language: Some basic APL functionality has been implemented (such as ⍴, ⍳, ¨).

The main thing that sets my language apart from APL is that it's lazy evaluated. That is essential when working with large arrays. An operation such as ⍉ or two-argument ⍴ are very cheap in terms of CPU usage.

I've also started building a simple user interface for it.

The constant desire for the GNOME developers to remove useful features never cease to amaze me.

In the latest version, you can no longer set a solid colour as background. You can only choose images.

Seriously? You can even see it in the screenshot here, so it's not just me that's doing something wrong: help.gnome.org/misc/release-no

Regarding hashing functions and recent news. FYI: Everything beyond lossless compression regarding representation of bytes abide by the pigeonhole principle (n = km + 1), collisions will happen, always.

SHA-1 collision attacks are now actually practical and a looming danger. Research duo showcases first-ever SHA-1 chosen-prefix collision attack.
