I can feel the pain here but in my own way. As a hiring manager it must be so frustrating to be assaulted with massive idiocy when you are looking for a candidate. Think about it: - candidates have zero penalty for applying to something the

Question, what is the job market like for someone who is good with graphics programming? I'm not the best at math but I have struggled my way through linear algebra enough that with some practice I think I could be good at graphics pro

Because people are more comfortable dealing with image files than .enc files or whatever extension one might use. Plus you dont just have to encode text. You can encode any file type. Look, I don't know what this is to the various part

> No. Yes. Any algorithm designed to be resilient to common processing steps will pass this test with flying colors. Also, EXIF data is not used in steganography, by definition.

Speaking of layers that's how I want to answer the first part. Encryption makes it secure but steganography makes it portable. Steganography is the sugar that makes the medicine go down. That's how I think it could work anyways, I

Steganography+encryption has a number of use cases. The one I think is most interesting is being able to store encrypted data locally with ease. Right now if I want to encrypt some text I have a number of options. I can encrypt the hard dri

I meant messaging in a more general context. It does not remove that feature at all. Why do you think that two people using the same app or algorithm automatically reveals the presence of a hidden byte array? You just vary the way data is r

I don't think anyone cares if pedophiles use it. They only care if it will work for them. Heck, if it keeps pedophiles safe that's a pretty good endorsement. I think the primary road block for most people is not seeing a use case

Sure, for a chat conversation you would want something faster than steganography. But if you will notice I did not propose a solution for encrypted chat. I proposed a solution for making encryption easier to use, yes? I hope that debaffles

I suppose you could and I am certainly no expert so it might even be better that way. A couple cons to that are that it looks cryptic so it's a little easier to detect, that you have to share the URL somehow (as opposed to hanging out

Facebook encrypted messaging! What's next, military intelligence? How about a vegan big-mac? Maybe a quality automobile by GM? I think steganography is an excellent way to deliver encrypted messaging to consumers. It has so many inhere

Hmm, okay, I should learn how to rebase then. The biggest part of my problem is a total lack of commit discipline but there are times when I'm working on a branch where my commits don't tell a clear story (changed something then c

I tend to commit, read my commit, and then find all kinds of mistakes and have to amend or redo the changes on a separate branch. If those options aren't available I just have a messed up commit history. This is all because git makes m

This is really cool, good job! I was looking for something like this a couple years ago when these were all the rage. I'll keep it in mind. One fairly easy additional thing you could do is make it a Nuget. Add tags like (image filter,

Well, the thing is they make it easy to find a main course. Without all the vegetarian and vegan products you would have to sort through the products that aren't explicitly marked that way to get a guess about which ones contain meat.

Many times I've had the most use for a test that didn't fit into the conventional unit test format but I didn't try to get it approved because I didn't want to get into a dogmatic argument about what a test should or sho

You're underestimating how much of a pain all of this has become. For one, you'll want it to be HTTPS and right away that always seems to be difficult even when you've done it the same way before. You're going to have to

I'll just list some that come to mind: - The front end can do whatever it wants. The back end is where all important data integrity and security logic should go. - Sessions. No one has mentioned sessions? Sessions are somewhat importan
