I'm not sure with OP doesn't address SilkRoad use cases on top of the ones he mentions, that are clearly a minority if we consider what is likely to happen.
Well, actually, one that he describes ‘journalists sharing secrets’ can be as big as the drug trade, if you read ‘journalist’ as ‘black hat hacker’ and ‘secrets’ as ‘exploits’. Silk Road couldn’t really do that, because of possible meddling from the central host, but without that risk…
I used to feel Java was a pain to write when working with Java 6. Many 250 characters lines and everything.
Java 7 kinda divided the line length by a factor 2 with the diamond operator, the try-resource and so on.
I've programmed some Java 8 since yesterday and it actually feels like a pretty decent language to express ideas. Nothing like Java 6.
I know most of the Java haters have been struggling using it day to day in settings were it was awful (over engineering + Java 6, hello, here is the gun).
But I feel like those haters should really try to think fresh on this one. Try Java 8 and its new features and decide for yourself _afterwards_.
Just wanted to say that being asked not once, but twice in a very intrusive manner if I want to suscribe to the blog is a pain in the ass for me. Please adjust that.
I tried it for a few games with friends and I'm not sure at all that with the standard rules defenders can win. With many rule sets you can lock the board pretty easily and make it a draw or lose situation for defenders. I'm not aware of any demonstration of attackers winning every time or not but it's my strong suspicion.
yeah i was wondering about that too. is it just because the lib is left in even if it's not being used you think? i haven't heard of anyone using H2 for production, if they are i'd like to know more about how/why
There are probably a lot of lets-try-this-play-and-scala-thing afternoon projects up on github, many of which will just keep the default configuration and never be worked on again.
