A secret that stayed secret in the place
where no one can keep a secret 02/07/2005 01:37 AM
We may soon know the identity of Deep Throat. It seems that Bob Woodward has penned the obituary of the elusive Deep Throat. There have been no lack of theories for who might actually be Deep Throat. And of course, any political conspiracy theory secret wouldn't be any fun without tying it back to Bush somehow.

Cracking Iranian codes

Cracking Iranian codes 06/15/2004 10:17 AM

Bruce Schneier has written an interesting article discussing the accusation of Ahmed Chalabi of informing Iran that the US had broken its codes and when Iran knew that the NSA was cracking their codes. He digs into the history of Crypto AG, the NSA and Iran. He links to an article about Hans Buehler, the Crypto AG salesman who was arrested by Iran in 1992 on suspicion that Crypto AG had installed back doors in its encryption machines. There is no conclusion, but this story reminds me of Crytonomicon and the interesting world of information, misinformation and spying.

Return-codes vs. Exceptions, Part 129

Return-codes vs. Exceptions, Part 129 05/24/2004 12:27 PM
Doug Ross, CTO of BadBlue (which sells a mean web server that runs PHP), has a nice recap of the debate on how to handle errors. Should we use error codes or exceptions? Doug weaves a nice story around several people's opinions. I totally agree with Doug with regards to real-time software (you want to handle the error as soon as possible with an error code).

However that's not the way I would want to write financial code nowadays. With the relational databases we now use, I'm more likely to throw an exception and perform a database rollback in the exception handler. I think that database advances with commit/rollback make resource cleanup sufficiently trivial for us to use generic exceptions.
