Sending it over HTTPS at least narrows down the recipient to.. who it's intended for. And I wasn't suggesting encrypting and then sending it to them, instead perform the check on the client side in a way that no information is eve

Seems like there is a cryptographic explanation every few days. It's a popular topic to write about at the moment. This was well written however.

how come duckduckgo.com is there? Do you never need to do searches for various (valid) reasons?

This article briefly mentions the Silk Road "bust"; wasn't there much speculation that they could not actually seize his money because of the crypto nature? Does that mean they got his key?

Very true. A lot of effort goes in to that cryptic design though.

I actually really disagree. Google is incredibly simple, it's essentially a header, footer, an input field, three buttons and an image.. It's designed to be as simple (and thus attractive to a larger/broader base) as possible

The slides were from over a year ago, I'm sure a lot has changed since then. Also the timing of this is very suspect, obviously it's been in the news and the Guardian either want to run with this new line brought on by the Silk Ro

I thought it was more of a Zorro mask. It's very suspicious that the entire presentation seems to undermine the supposed severity of the issue with very silly names and pictures... Tor Stinks, ONIONBREATH, EPICFAIL

Good looking design, but a superbike that doesn't make any noise? That's a dangerous game. The noise it's part of it's presence and dare I say it, safety.

I'm not trying to suggest that /all/ code shouldn't be structured; it's all dependent on what you are writing. I have contributed to a decent sized C++ ftpd program ( https://github.com/jawr/ebft

If it's a fairly big function, or a common way of dealing with errors in a package you can always define a func (nested or not): func foo() error { handleErr = func(err error) bool { if err != nil { log.Println(e

I used to really enjoy writing C++, but that feeling can be compared to doing a really big workout. It's a gratifying hurt.

I'm not sure I would call Java simplistic.. It seems incredibly bloated to me especially in comparison to Go and other languages. With regards to security issues, I was under the impression that since oracle took it over, Java has had

The problem that I find with Java is that it forces you to write code in a certain way; OO programming seems to have become the de facto way of dealing with large problems, especially in enterprise and sometimes I think far too much time is

Definitely agree with this. I learnt to program with a lot of trial and error.. no screencasts or online workshops. Also - I haven't actually watched the screencast, but looking at the text the virtualenv setup seems very wrong.
