Lately if you have been paying attention to tech or even mainstream media you might have seen a few stories about data breaches.
Sometimes these data breaches have allowed attackers to gather unencrypted passwords or credit card numbers. In the past these types of attacks still happened, but there was not as many attacks as today and when they happened they were kept secret. With more and more internet based services becoming part of peoples lives, there is even more targets for attackers who are looking to get sensitive data. These attackers can often be quite crafty on the ways they get this data, many times they do it by gaining access to a database but another common place to capture and steal data is through unencrypted network traffic. There are many commonly used services that either do not support SSL encryption or that option is rarely used.
Redis Security Redis has been designed for use within a trusted private network, and does not support SSL encrypted connections. Find: Add: A practical introduction to functional programming at Mary Rose Cook. Many functional programming articles teach abstract functional techniques.
That is, composition, pipelining, higher order functions. This one is different. It shows examples of imperative, unfunctional code that people write every day and translates these examples to a functional style. The first section of the article takes short, data transforming loops and translates them into functional maps and reduces. The second section takes longer loops, breaks them up into units and makes each unit functional. The examples are in Python, because many people find Python easy to read. A guide rope When people talk about functional programming, they mention a dizzying number of “functional” characteristics. Ignore all that.
This is an unfunctional function: a = 0def increment1(): global a a += 1 This is a functional function: def increment2(a): return a + 1 Don’t iterate over lists. Map Map takes a function and a collection of items. PhD Student in Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins. Last semester, John Muschelli and I had to collaborate on two class projects, one consisting of writing a report for a DNA methylation data analysis, the other about presenting a fascinating paper on the asymptotics of subsampling estimators.
That means we had 3 latex documents — one article and two beamer presentations that we were simultaneously working on every day (and every night). Synchronizing the files, even if we both use regularly version control (like GitHub or BitBucket), would have been a nightmare: who really wants to commit every 30 seconds? Thankfully, John knew about shareLatex, and I called it an end-of-semester miracle. Here is why shareLatex is awesome: Have you ever been lost in translation (or to be L.I.T. as Muschelli likes to say)? L.I.T.
