Hardly anyone -- most of us verify the download by trying to use it :-)
Which doesn't mean that we shouldn't have it -- but it will

but what IS a "map-like object" -- I'm trying to imagine what that actually
means.
"map" takes a function and maps it onto a

I am a student worker with the Internet Networks Architecture department at TU
Berlin and I am working with APIs for network protocols.
We are currently looking into implementing TAPS, a novel way to offer transport
layer services to the application layer.
The idea is to offer an API on
A Hash is surely useful in the context of locking versions of software
packages in Pipfile.lock because we tell us that the code we are
downloading has not changed since the first we saw this particular version

My two cents.
Automation tools should check the PGP signature. The public keys should be
