I am a software engineer by profession and a mathematics undergraduate in the evenings. I speak French, and I am generally interested in operating systems. My corner of the web is here and you might be interested in code I have written.

Questions? You can get in touch via my first name @ my domain name.

comment Learnt cryptography and python. What do I do next?
I'm going to close this for now as I think, all-in-all, this is just not something we can really answer for you. However, don't let that stop you asking any questions you have on crypto :)

...the more arguments for it, the more we can get better tools from the team, etc :)

@Matteo well... the official answer is that we should use tag wikis like this one. As mods, we can create community wiki posts, and we've had a bit of a debate on that already. I like the idea conceptually, but I've seen it work out... badly. There's been requests to make tag wikis better too. Feel free to raise a meta post arguing your case...

comment How do I protect user data at rest?
I would have moved this but the OP has already cross posted: security.stackexchange.com/questions/16473/… so no need. @AAA in future, just flag for moderator attention and wait - we will get to it :)

I've closed this as being a list-of question, which we generally don't allow here. That said, I've mentioned this to other moderators in chat, as we persistently get these questions (our first was one) and we've debated allowing them before, so this could be re-opened (and you can still see the answers given anyway).
