But if you don't trust Apple, how to you get the key into the Secure Enclave to begin with? Doesn't Apple control the software on your device that provides the interface into the Secure Enclave from outside of it?
Yes Apple controls the device so you're right, you can never be sure what it's doing. My thinking is that an encryption backdoor means the key generation algo is compromised. In that case you want to bypass that by generating the key yourself.
If the backdoor is some other method of getting your key off the device then all bets are off.
I love the game, but I know a lot of people who don't, for a variety of reasons. They were very opinionated about what kind of game they were trying to make, so you'd expect it to resonate strongly with some people and not at all with others.
Honestly, my .zshrc file started out as a .kshrc file that was passed down to me by an older developer about 20 years ago, when I was still in university. I've added and removed a lot of things over the years, but there are still a few parts of it that I don't totally understand, simply because they work and I've never had a reason to think about them. The guy I got it from, in turn, got his from someone else.
In the old days, I had a .fvwm2rc config file that I got from my boss in the university computing center. I had no idea how it worked! And neither did he -- he got it from a professor when he was in university.
I made a RNN for a college project because I was interested in obsolete historical technology and I thought I needed to seize the opportunity while it lasted, because once I was out of school, I'd never hear about neural networks ever again.
Mine worked, but it was very simple and dog slow, running on my old laptop. Nothing was ever going to run fast on that thing, but I remember my RNN being substantially slower than a feed-forward network would have been.
I was so confident that this was dead technology -- an academic curiosity from the 1980s and 1990s. It was bizarre to see how quickly that changed.
I feel old. I made my masters thesis on RNN's for learning dynamic systems e.g. for control purposes (quite a novelty at the time, around 2000). We wrote the backprop in C++ and ran it over night. Yes it was slow as hell with the tiny gradients. The network architectures were e.g. 5 or 10 neurons in a single hidden layer. NN's were a tiny subject that you were lucky to find courses in. Then closed my eyes for two seconds and looked at the subject again in 2015. Wow.
> Will there be additional parts that cover how to create GROUP BY queries in the ORM? I find even seasoned Django developers struggle with these.
The last time I needed to do that, I ended up crying "uncle" and writing manual SQL. I wasn't happy about doing it, but I was happy that the framework left me an escape hatch so that I could.
It's actually easy once you get it, it's just that they choose bizarre terminology that doesn't translate directly from sql. .values() and .annotate() ?!
I used Doctrine for a few years, and I remember thinking that it was about 50% awesome and 50% terrible. I wonder what I would think if I came back to it today.
I used Django a lot from about 2007 to 2010 and, then, went for several years without using it at all. When I came back to it, I was delighted to find that everything still worked like it was supposed to, just better. Congrats on getting it right on the first try. That's...not something that happens very often in software.
