Operational PGP

This is a guide on how to email securely.

There are many guides on how to install and use PGP to encrypt email. This is not one of them. This is a guide on secure communication using email with PGP encryption. If you are not familiar with PGP, please read another guide first. If you are comfortable using PGP to encrypt and decrypt emails, this guide will raise your security to the next level.

WebSockets - An Introduction

WebSockets is a modern HTML5 standard which makes communication between client and server a lot more simpler than ever. We are all familiar with the technology of sockets. Sockets have been fundamental to network communication for a long time but usually the communication over the browser has been restricted. The general restrictions

The server used to have a permanent listener while the client (aka browser) was not designated any fixed listener for a more long term connection. Hence, every communication was restricted to the client demanding and the server responding.
This meant that unless the client requested for a particular resource, the server was unable to push such a resource to the client.
This was detrimental since the client is then forced to check with the server at regular intervals. This meant a lot of libraries focused on optimizing asynchronous calls and identifying the response of asynchronous calls. Notably t

Golang Binary Versioning Trick

To use, place the code in version_trick.go in your project. Don't forget to change the namespace to match yours to the actual name of your package.

In addition to version_trick.go, there's a makefile-snippet, that includes the secret sauce for making this trick work. Be sure to change the package name there as well.

Enjoy!

P.S. Special thanks to @meatballhat by way of @syscomet for showing me this trick!

	Turning The Design Clock Back

	Object-oriented design principles haven't had the effect we hoped for. The
	SOLID principles are excellent design guidelines, but experience shows that
	programmers find them difficult to follow. What do we do about this?
	Surprisingly, the Structured Design literature of forty years ago contains
	compelling solutions to many current design problems. They're simple and easy
	to understand, but were lost in the noise as OO rose to popularity. We'll
	reinterpret these simple design ideas in a modern context, finding that many of
	our most promising new design ideas resemble them. Rapid web application
