   Can't quite grok it on this post, but where they describe "end-to-end", how exactly are keys generated and distributed? Are key fingerprints verified out of channel? How are they not susceptible to MITM attacks? Which, admittedly may be dif

   Yah, it totally doesn't target the 0.1% of people who do this! HOW LAME IS GOOGLE WITH THEIR FREE-TO-USE SOFTWARE!?!?! In all seriousness, this is much more useful than to just soccer moms.

   But dude, to put it in perspective, I wish I were half as focused as you. Like I said, continually impressed. Mad props.

   Historically, I wouldn't say improving the world is actually required. I'd even say JA has done more to promote peace than many other recipients.

   That's too bad. Though I mostly use mercurial, when it's appropriate and I get to choose, I've played with fossil and it is quite a nice package. Super easy to setup, fully featured, easy to use, and does what I want. Before you shitcan the

   I'll once again offer my passy algorithm (with full description, and source code). http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2431480 I've used and refined this over a number of years, and now I'm very happy with it. Enjoy!

    Excuse me, but if a nuclear plant pollutes, specifically in the form of un-contained radiation, that's considered a failure, right?

    I wonder what would happen if we spent the same $/KWh on making coal safe, as we do on nuclear?
12. 192.▲
    by swaits 15y ago

    I believe the point is that coal plants are understood to always pollute, whereas nuclear plants are promised to never pollute. Can you see where that distinction is important?

    I suggest you play with it a bit. It really is a "nicer javascript". The only thing it's missing is support, primarily in the form of debugging tools. But that's coming.

    Because someone wanted to? Folks are using it. Isn't that enough for you? On top of that, it's quite a nice little language. Comprehensions are very convenient along with regular iteration. And you get most of the jslint passing stuff for f

    Whoosh? The f0 talk was referring to the xkcd comic. They were absolutely not saying this is the exact constant used in Sony's ECC code.

    It's talked about right in these very comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2487412 The data is POSTed over SSL. C'mon, do you really think Sony sends credit card data across the wire in plaintext? If so, it would have been disc

    So, a non-Sony employee, on a non-Sony forum, admittedly "speculates" what appears to be a bunch of garbage nonsense, and that's newsworthy?

    FWIW, in hiring game programmers (at all levels), I rarely give PhD or MS resumes a second look. I wonder if others do the same?

    So? I find the opposite much more comfortable. What I do to save my coder sanity is not try to write serious code in my web browser. I've recently switched to [Solarized]( http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized ), which offers both options, b

    Yup. That hasn't stopped hordes of devs from doing stupid things with passwords. My point is that now, at least for Rails, bcrypt is harder to ignore. And that's a good thing.

    Maybe it doesn't suit your needs. If not, don't use it. But lots of folks are using memcached. Seems like a great project to me.

    Which wasn't that hard to use unsugared. This move also signals to the community that bcrypt is considered a best practice, important enough that it's included by default. Rails benefits from this.

    This person is just.. confused, to put it nicely. My password system is detailed here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2431480 It's secure, passwords are never stored, and it's not based on any false premises.

    I've had my eye on D for a few years. But, I never manage to work it into the grand plan. For scripting, I have a slimmer of hope for Rite, from Matz (of Ruby). Strangely, IMO, I find most of my fellow gamedevs are not PLgeeks.

    Yep, just play around with the "Try CoffeeScript" interface they have right on the site. You can actually get pretty far with it right there. Open another window for reference, and start hacking away. Watching the transformations as you cod
