Today I was fighting against a TOTP library in PHP, since it works for 6 and 8 digits, but for 10 it was giving inconsistent values, due to a conversion to a 32 bits int.

It felt amazing when, after a few hours, I found what was causing the error…

And found that many libraries have the same problem.
Now I get why TOTP is limited to 8 chars. It’s a 2FA but not a Password. Perhaps another algorithm will be needed to support 16 digits.

@shreyan@twtxt.net The only problem is that there is no such thing as “plain text”. Is it ASCII? UTF-8? DOS or UNIX line endings? Something else?

.txt or “plain text” are ambiguous terms, I’m afraid. 🫤

Other than that, it looks neat and interesting. 😅

从 CPU 角度理解 Go 中的结构体内存对齐
大家好，我是 Go 学堂的渔夫子。今天跟大家聊聊结构体字段内存对齐相关的知识点。

原文链接： https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/H3399AYE1MjaDRSllhaPrw

大家在写 Go 时有没有注意过，一个 struct 所占的空间不见得等于各个字段加起来的空间之和，甚至有时候把字段的顺序调整一下，struct 的所占空间又有不同的结果。

本文就从 cpu 读取内存的角度来谈谈内存对齐的原理。

01 结构体字段对齐示例

我们先从一个示例开始。T1 结构体，共有 3 个字段，类型分别为 int8,int64,int32。所以变量 t1 所属的类型占用的空间应该是 1+8+4=13 字节。但运行程序后，实际上是 24 字节。和我们计算的 13 字节不一样啊。如果我们把该结构体的字段调整成 T2 那样，结果是 16 字节。但和 13 字节还是不一样。这是为什么呢？
