Dude! Nothing frustrates me more than people mistaking server version with api version. It means I can’t update one piece of infrastructure at a time or you can never break api com…

Where i work we abuse semver but I hope in a good way. Major is wire api break. Minor is effectively YYYYMMWW (we ship weekly) and patch is number of commits off stable branch.

Please take this down. Load page with fresh cookies. It’s a scam.

I agree, you would have to tie IPs->peer keys to make this work.

nacl says that for security each nonce/key pair must be unique for each message. If you send a "HELO" message, for example first, you've made it possible to build a pretty simple r…

This isn't one comment to HN with 127 spelling mistakes, it would be equivalent to 1000s of people as part of a collective group contributing 1000s of spelling mistakes over the pa…

This argument is akin to saying "isn't it beautiful that I can go from Lion to Mountain Lion within the same day". You aren't changing much, just who packaged the software together…

I think this is probably a fair assessment. I just wish their website was slightly less shady.

Must be a scam...

Actually, you rarely want a predictable nonce as well. The difference is that a nonce must not repeat (or repetition is statistically irrelevant). Even per wikipedia, many often re…

I just read this, interesting concept, albeit dirty. I still think we should all accept a logger and use this to work around bad libraries. $0.02

You could use the PGP endorsement model. Network effects should work out decently.
