They’re kinda fucked because differential analysis was coined long ago to describe a set of techniques for attacking bad cryptography.
Differential programming would be less flashy but may be confusing.
I wouldn’t actually be interested in this topic much except for the top level comment complaining about them wanting a new version control system for this and now I’m a bit curious what they’re on about this time, so will probably get sucked in.
"differential" and "differentiable" are different words. Both are being used correctly. Is the problem only that the two words look kind of similar? That seems like an impractical requirement.
God I hate the trend of using a prefix on its own as a stand in for '<prefix><thing>'. I think it's a symptom of politicians trying to sound stupid to avoid sounding elitist.
What do you think will have more impact on the economy, crypto or cyber?
I think using the shorten version is perfectly valid only provided the context is correct.
If you are talking to someone about cryptocurrency, referring to it as crypto later in the conversation in context is perfectly valid and doesn't lessen the meaning.
I do however agree with you when outside of it's context that these shortened names are horrible and effectively buzzwords.
