Slightly off-topic, but does anybody know of a kind of "LISP Challange" set? I recently started the Matasano challenges[0] and I found them really well-suited to my style of learning (learning by doing and expanding by reading rel

Would anybody with experience with J like to share what they did/didn't like about the language or what they did and didn't expect from the language?

Also note that DNS lookups do not go through a SOCKS proxy, which leaves a huge surface of attack and monitoring.

What is it about a smaller block size that makes it less secure? Wikipedia mentions that it's recommended not to encrypt files larger than 4GB because of the block size but it never specifies why.

Something something ad hominem. Besides that, to what are you referring?

As another comment mentioned, .unwrap() is really useful for testing things out, but any legitimate (read: with intent to be used for some practical purpose) library or program is going to handle most errors. One edge case may be calling un

Interesting to see this as a novel thing in another ecosystem. Rust actually uses "stream" manipulation as a default way of dealing with things that might otherwise be expressed as full data structures. For example, the equivalent

For a scripting language, Go is very strict with compile-time errors that could just as well be warnings. Unused variables, unused imports, dead code, etc. Other than that, I could see Go as a pretty useful scripting and systems language.

I think you're conflating three issues. One is of course unsafe native code, which could at least in part be fixed by picking a different programming language ( cough Rust) that has stronger guarantees. Another is correctness of the i

You could use the CMD keyword in the Dockerfile to ensure that that's run every time the container is started

Yes! I remember seeing this random sampling method about a year ago and completely forgot what it's called! Here's the webpage I saw it on, complete with explanation and step-by-step animations: http://bost.ocks.org&#x2

In that case, you could still cache if you want but at least you now have the option to manage your memory instead of always crashing with large input
471.
by doomrobo 12y ago
Loading everything into memory at once shouldn't be necessary to produce a hash of the entire input. All of the hash functions currently supported allow for incremental hashing. That means you can hash in blocks instead of all at once.

That would be: let path = Path::new(&app_path); println!("file name: {}", path.display());

Could anybody explain what ZRTP hash is and why it's insecure?

I hear this refrain a lot but I never really understood it. Could you explain? I would personally feel much more comfortable running a process as a unique user in an fresh Ubuntu container than running it in a chroot. One needn't go fa

by doomrobo 12y ago
Pretty much. There's always the option of putting it in a container (using Docker, for instance) or VM but chroot is probably the most commonly used and has the least overhead.

Whoops, misread "zero" as "deallocate". I meant that Box<> pointers are heap-allocated but deallocated when they go out of scope.

Well, only for Box<> pointers, but yes

I actually gave fish a try after you recommended it. I can't use it in my workflow :(. Virtualenv has a bash script to initiate the environment and fish's incompatibility with bash scripts makes it impossible for me to work with i
