The HearSay P2P File Sharer

HearSay

The HearSay P2P File Sharer; a response to The Copyright Alert System, as well as several other internet regulation attempts. The goal of this project is to prove the viability of semi-anonymous and confidential file sharing. Consists of several proofs of concepts such as the formation of ad-hoc mix networks and routing throughout them while maintaining anonymity and semantic security.

However, lets be honest with ourselves for a second. Don't use this to fight an oppressive regime. I can not (and will not try) to 'prove' its security, and I

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {

Parsing Command-Line Argument in Python

Command-line arguments in Python show up in sys.argv as a list of strings (so you'll need to import the sys module).

For example, if you want to print all passed command-line arguments:

import sys
print(sys.argv)  # Note the first argument is always the script filename.

Command-line options are sometimes passed by position (e.g. myprogram foo bar) and sometimes by using a "-name value" pair (e.g. myprogram -a foo -b bar).
