Yeah, I shouldn't have said "at the NRL." The U.S. government sponsored the development of Tor and created onion routing.

Wanting and requiring are quite different. Very few companies actually have many of the kind of people you describe.

I think this is a good idea. It seems similar to Go's embedding: http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#embedding

Yesod is more popular, faster, has more users, plugins, etc., but is indeed more like Rails than Snap. If you're looking at the simplistic end of the scale, i.e. similar to Sinatra, take a look at Scotty.

It's pretty amazing: The initial release of GHC was in 1989 .

by thirsteh 13y ago
GHC's -fllvm flag already makes it use LLVM, although the native code generator remains the default. This backend (usually coupled with -O2) tends to slow down compile times tremendously, but can make some math-heavy programs much fast

Indeed. Many of the high-performance libraries like bytestring, aeson, etc. are written like this. Haskell's performance is very good for nearly everything I write--and I don't write anything nearly that low level--but I can'

Among all enterprises? Very common. You don't hear about the vast majority of them. (Keep in mind a break-in doesn't have to have been targeted specifically at you to cause damage or to be classified as a break-in.)

I was with you until you implied Linux can't be back-doored. There's nothing about Linux that makes it immune to rootkits or backdoors despite what the hype would have you believe. Remember, Apple used to say the same thing about

For the PKI/CA part, yes (kind of.) There, the NSA can command a CA based in the U.S. to issue them an intermediary CA cert which would allow them to do active MITM for nearly all servers in the world. (They would still need the indivi

I wasn't really trying to answer your question, just adding context. As far as I know, the address confirmations are for your real address details. Namecheap isn't asking you to confirm the whoisguard details, and presumably the

by thirsteh 13y ago
Namecheap and their whoisguard have already been sending out annual or bi-annual emails asking you to confirm that the address details are correct, but it sounds like those emails will contain some confirmation link in the future.
