They could, but with an OpenSSL channel comes SSL PKI, and CA certs we may not want to trust. It is possible to use OpenPGP certs with TLS, although I've never seen this done myself. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6

First off, iMessage isn't open source, and Apple hasn't published details of the protocol either, so we don't know if their statements on the security of iMessage are actually true. Even without knowing all the details, there

So now app developers have a choice: they can use iCloud or Dropbox to manage distributed app state. Any iOS app developers (I'm not one) care to compare & contrast the two options? It looks like Dropbox may be using Operational Tr

No, only changed blocks are resent. The scattering effect of Truecrypt encryption plus the relatively large blocksize does amplify the number of changed blocks somewhat. Previous investigation and results: http://news.ycombinator

So.. an alternative, but not the solution we need. Completely agree. We need 100% opensource client-side encryption tools. And at least in this space (cloud backup), we already have it, thanks to HN's own cperciva: http://

But aren't TrueCrypt volumes completely changed when you add/remove something? No, the crypto in TrueCrypt doesn't amplify the number of changed blocks. But it does disperse the changed blocks throughout the encrypted image

Take this: env = jinja2.Environment() ast = env.parse(...) vars = jinja2.meta.find_undeclared_variables(ast) Now you've got a list of every part of the data model referenced by this template. Unfortunately this doesn't give

Thanks for the reply, I'm actually going to give nunjucks + jinja2 a shot now. Food for thought: jinja2.meta exposes the AST after parsing the template. Could you use this to do Angular style data binding?

by sigil 13y ago
I'm in the same boat as you. I like the looks of Angular, but not sure I want the client-side lock-in. I enjoy writing templates without thinking too much if they are rendered server-side or client-side. Funny, I've been considering this

I had problems with Acuvue Oasys back in the day as well, but I'm sure it varies from person to person. Ask your eye doctor to order trial pairs from different brands. That's how I eventually found the ones that worked for me.

But the result wasn't discredited: there was in fact a normalization error in Mann et al's original findings, and we didn't find out until 8 years later because the data manipulation code was "proprietary." Meanwhile, everyone proceeded as

by sigil 14y ago
I don't think it even matters what study we're talking about. A publicly-funded scientist who withholds "proprietary" source code used in a result of this magnitude is not doing good science.
