Using `with-handlers` to catch exceptions.
#lang racket
;; The way to catch exceptions is `with-handlers`.
;; See http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/exns.html
;;
;; You specify the type of exception, and a function to handle it. The
;; exception object is passed to the function.
;;
;; For exmaple, we'll catch the "generic" `exn:fail?` with a function
;; that we define in-place using `lambda`:

Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

tl;dr: how about a virtual global flat LAN that maps static IPs to onion addresses?

[We all know the story][1]. Random feature gets unintentionally picked up as the main reason for buying/using a certain product, despite the creator's intention being different or more general. (PC: spreadsheets; Internet: porn; smartphones: messaging.)

This snippet of code is syntactically valid in both PHP and Java, and produces the same output in both.
/*<?php

New stuff from WWDC 2016

Following the tradition from last year, here's my complete list of all interesting features and updates I could find in Apple's OSes, SDKs and developer tools that were announced at this year's WWDC. This is based on the keynotes, the "What's New In ..." presentations and some others, Apple's release notes, and blog posts and tweets that I came across in the last few weeks.

If for some reason you haven't watched the talks yet, I really recommend watching at least the "State of the Union" and the "What's New In" intros for the platforms you're interested in. The unofficial WWDC Mac app is great way to download the videos and keep track of what you've already watched.

If you're interested, here are my WWDC 2015 notes (might be useful if you're planning to drop support for iOS 8 now and start using some iOS 9 APIs).
