I'm not going lower level – in fact, I'm not even dealing with a communication protocol. Certificates are also used for document and executable signing.

No, I'm just implementing code that signs and verifies PDF digital signatures for compliance with EU regulations. I'm not dealing with HSMs, or even the PKIX infrastructure other than verifying a certificate is valid according to

Or PKCS#12, or PKCS#8, or ECDSA (OpenSSL has determinism now, but different than RFC 6979), or ASN.1. Basically anything where you are using crypto as part of another protocol, not simply for encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify. So using

Document signing is what pushed me down that path. It uses the same ecosystem and technologies as TLS, but cares more about revocation.

(Just to note, this wasn't me looking for help in how to accomplish that task.) That said, does the proverbial "you" know all of the chain validation features that are NOT implemented by OpenSSL when using code such as in url

I found the issue to be more insidious. Don’t roll your own crypto. Ok, that makes sense. Don’t implement existing crypto algorithms. Ok, arguments sound good. This leaves the options of using existing libraries. Cool. So let’s go find an e

It most certainly fixes support for Unicode on Windows in terms of filesystems paths, OS function boundaries and the console. Some of these fixes have even taken until 3.6 to get implemented. As someone who writes cross-platform code, Pytho

I called Apple (both personal and business divisions) and you can not buy the old model with dGPU any more unless you buy refurb. The only 2015 available is the base model with Intel integrated graphics.

I'll bite and lay out why I won't be buying a new one (soon). Perhaps in a few years once everything else moves forward: MagSafe: I have three 85W MagSafe adapters. Replacing these would cost an extra $200 over the cost of the mac

Unfortunately I am already overcommitted with open source projects. For now I am content to wait and see how it all plays out. It will be great to have another language where Windows support is really first-rate.

I was referring to the paragraph about Swift and Source kit. To my knowledge, the majority of editors do not do syntax highlighting outside of the main editor process.

If it really pushes syntax highlighting to another process and uses JSON for serialization, that is going to impose a cap on editor performance.

Yes, I am the author of oscrypto. Unfortunately one of my unfulfilled interests is longer-form technical writing. Trying to balance open source and family means that for now, that isn't in the cards. I think one of the biggest benefits

oscrypto, in attempt to support both CPython and PyPy well, uses cffi or ctypes to interface with the crypto libraries. That said, when cffi is present, only the ABI (dlopen) mode is used. No shared libraries are compiled. My experience usi

I used the SQLite source file when working on the C syntax rewrite a few months ago. It is almost 7MB. Being able to jump to the definition of a function, even when contained in a source file that is 200k lines can be handy.

I've been working for Jon since January. Part of the reason is allowing it to have a different release cadence, but also to not default to making outbound network connections without a user opting in.
