Reviewer assignment algorithm. I'm not sure this actually can generate all possible legal combinations of assignments but it's pretty random and only generates legal assignments. I'm also not sure it can't. First version is mostly procedural. Second one is heavy on streams.

Trying to wrap my brain around OAuth (again)

Trying to understand OAuth

Here’s my basic understanding of how to do client-side OAuth, meaning we want JavaScript running in the browser to be able to authenticate to a service (e.g., GitHub) and then access that service directly from the browser. The key security requirement is that the client-side JavaScript can’t know the client secret because the whole point of secrets as that they be secret. Assume in what follows that our web server is running on example.com. Also note that all these requests should be over HTTPS.
