Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about rookie batters’ blistering start to the season, then Stat Blast (10:15) about how long it typically takes for there to be no remaining teams that are winless or undefeated (or both), the latest a team won or lost by a margin that matched its record, and the seasons that…

Literally downloaded the mod files from my friends computer, on the same version because we still play on 3.14. And the checksum is still different.

There is no reason for it to be different, but wonder above wonders it is.

Every now and then, when I see download sites for oftentimes open-source software, but also things like ASUS' router firmwire download sites, they talk about making sure that the downloaded files matches a provided hashsum, or else you're doomed.

I have yet to come across anyone on the planet who've ever actually checked the hashsums, checksums, ASC signatures, or anything like that.

Amazon S3 支援 MD5 以外的檢查演算法了

Amazon S3 宣佈支援 MD5 以外的檢查演算法了：「New – Additional Checksum Algorithms for Amazon S3」。 多支援了 SHA-1、SHA-256 以及 CRC-32 與 CRC-32C： In particular, you can specify the use of any one of four widely used checksum algorithms (SHA-1, SHA-256, CRC-32, and CRC-32C) when you upload each of your objects to S3. 雖然有拿 cryptographic hash function 來用，但其實是當作 checksum algorithm 在用，拿來檢查檔案正確性的，而不是防中間被竄改之類 (這個部份是靠…

If you install stuff from source it is always good practice to validate if downloaded file checksum is the one the you expected it to be.
