I don't see any reason why it would be much harder to hit the middle hops for a MiTM attack. It certainly wouldn't be worth setting up a MiTM attack between my house and the first Comcast router my cable hits. That approach doesn't scale.

There are multiple hops from you to the server. That scheme would only verify that BOTH your and the third party's initial hops haven't been simultaneously MiTM'ed. It's very possible the routes overlap for several hops. And even if they

The technical terms are 'variable assignment' and 'single assignment'. 'Assigment' is generally considered to mean the former unless it's qualified. From a pedantic perspective, you can't really disagree with the statement 'haskell support

I intuitively knew this was the case, but wanted to do some research before posting an answer. The distinction between naming and assignment can be a little subtle. And you beat me to the punch. But I thought this page was interesting: h

I agree on Real World Haskell. I couldn't put my finger on anything that was 'wrong' or 'bad' about the book, but just got bored with it and stopped reading halfway through.

You can pay for gmail and google calendar via Google Apps. I think that business model is "give it to home users for free, get corporate users to pay."

But as a general principal, you can't reliably or consistently do this in a dynamic language in any sort of guaranteed fashion, which was implicit in the original statement being refuted. Even with a runtime check, you still CAN pass in a b

1) If CL can only sometimes enforce invariants about type sometimes, and in special cases, I'd argue that the original statement was true. You'll still be deprived in many (probably most) cases. (People have survived falls where their par

Any good investment plan involved diversification. If you buy one house, one bad tennant could mean six months or more of no rent payments while you go through the eviction process and try to get someone else in there. One really bad tenna

Well compared to the ssh banner, it is in a secured data center. All the people in there (hopefully) have been assigned some baseline level of trust. I really hope the story behind that rope is more like: "What the fuck did you do? Every

I'm at a start-up now, but before that I got sick of developing professionally and took a break. Probably because I was one of those people who didn't look good enough on paper, and only got through the resume pile at corporate jobs or bod

I basically do the same when they're required. And then I still get sites yelling because my dogs name can't have #$ in it! Or because I pasted the same complex second password into all three security questions!

The article headline is misleading, it's talking about a three-day survival kit. But if we're talking a real-world, full-out, Mad Max apocalypse, one where society as we know it will never recover, yeah, I'd want a gun.

So the plan is: 1) Keep on using twitter as much as ever. 2) Shift the support burden from twitter to companies that twitter would prefer to see go out of business. ?

I like git just fine, but it does have over 100 subcommands, way more than any other source control system. If you're using it on a solo project, you're probably using 4-5. Don't worry, some day you'll get the dreaded 'octopus merge' erro

If they are standard and public and they work, sure. If they're not public and not standard (like MacRuby) then probably not. I think the GP post was simply referring to the fact that a vast majority of software is 'installed' on the mac.

This guy isn't complaining about source code or licensing issues. He's complaining that MacRuby isn't in a shared location, like say libc or some other standard library. He wants to just be able to type 'macruby foo.rb' (or whatever) and h
