ritratt | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you escape CRUD jobs?
I am stuck with a CRUD (testing) job. Been trying really hard to get out. Learned python. Created many side projects at work to improve current process and personally to expand horizon and geow. But whenever I go for an interview for a development position, they are always like, "We currently need someone who has hands on experience with <relevant technology> development. So we cannot take your candidature further." Really demotivating. Feels like I am gonna be stuck as a tester for life despite having so many ideas and knowledge!

Wait don't we already do this and accuse proponents of SOPA etc. of curbing our freedom under the excuse of piracy?

I agree with one of those top contributors...they should start accepting bitcoins.

ipad/iphone has never been the best device hardware-wise. but they deliver a good experience despite having inferior hardware with better OS, apps, content etc.

Flame caught all the attention because it made use of a new hash collision technique currently not know to anyone. Which would mean it was govt. backed.

It's not about the money. It's about protecting intellectual property and setting a precedent. One does not always fight a case to gain money. It is also about promoting ideas and values and prevent their degradation. Although in this case Oracle's case is crap.

by not wasting my productivity at work...XD
ritratt | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can I get started with an open source project?
This response helped.
I myself am faced with a similar problem. I like cryptography so I learnt it and implemented it in some self-developed applications. But all i was doing was using API's/libraries/modules written by someone else. I wanted to be a part of the API creation/maintenance process which is actually just being part of some open-source projects.
I am going to try the approach mentioned by you.
ritratt | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN : mobile app that would be great for programmers
You want to use the phone as an extended keyboard full of macros. Neat. However, we all usually do not use lots of keys on the main keyboard like F1-F12,Scroll Lock, Pause|Break etc. So why not convert these keys into your macros? There are a bunch of programs out there that do this.
I myself created one such program at my work which, when detects a PRINTSCREEN press, takes the screenshot and saves it in a specified directory in a specified format!
Let me know if you need that! As far as your offer of doing the same on a cellphone, i am afraid I am ill-equipped to be able to do that.

Client side encryption is unexplored. Secure crypto is possible only through extensive peer review, which is missing in the case of client side encryption using JS.
I think SSL/TLS is sufficient if implemented correctly. The only advantage that client side encryption using js offers is that the contents are not known to the server. Whereas in the case on SSL/TLS, the server basically has access to all your encrypted data since they hold the keys. But I digress. Client side encryption needs more R&D.
