   > ...try accessing a (non-localhost) website hosted on a port 6666 in Chrome. You can't, Chrome has a blacklist of "insecure" ports. The reasoning for that is -apparently- as follows: "So, why does Chrome refuse to connect to some ports? Because the Google engineers has gone through the list of well known ports, and worked out how tolerant the protocols that use these ports are to being sent HTTP requests, and if th…

   Semantics aside, there is really no difference between performance in Scala and Java, equivalent code in both compiles to near identical byte code, save for a few niche optimisations (eg tail call recursion) that can make Scala faster. I discussed this here: https://jazzy.id.au/default/2012/10/16/benchmarking_scala_ag... Since it's all just bytecode, then there's no difference in what you can do when it comes to sca…

   The fact that the author is one of the main developers on the Play Framework means that he should be even more gracious towards the framework/design he is comparing Play against, otherwise he and his project comes off as comparing their project against weak strawmen. Sure, Play has some nice concepts - but the fact that it's built in Scala (and that there is a Java API ) means that all of the things that it makes po…

   Note that `unsort` uses the Mersenne Twister for its PRNG, which is not cryptographically secure [0]. However, cracking Mersenne does require a significant amount of random bytes generated from the same seed, and a quick glance at the source reveals that it initializes the seed from /dev/urandom where available (unsort.c:169), which is good and probably obviates practical attacks.

    According to this post it seems like you need 624 consecutive values from mt_rand to recover the seed: https://jazzy.id.au/2010/09/22/cracking_random_number_genera... (I agreed with everything you said, but it was just hard to follow without understanding how mt rand is usually cracked)
