Huge file hash

Gnu
I basically know how to get the MD5 value of a small-to-medium string, but
how should I calculate it on a huge file, one that I can't bring in memory
(say 10, 20 Gb)?
Does anyone know how I should "partition" this operation?

Thanks a lot for your time,
GNU

This is not a C++ question. You'd be better off trying a crypto or
general programming group.

Do you really need an md5 ? md5 is pretty expensive computationally .

Hello, I don't know if this is *entirely* a postgresql question or if it's my screwup with the database design. First, a little introduction to the problem: I maintain a database of open proxies (they're used for tagging and/or rejecting email) and I use postgres as it's backend. The list itself is contained in three tables: tHost (458K rows)

Hi, Why for god sake they change implementation of String.GetHashCode() from ..NET 1 to .NET 2?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
