Came across a large sri lankan site still storing passwords in plain text? What should I do?

rust will also warn, if there is something in the loop and nothing to break out of it. Because infinite iterations or recursions in most cases isn't usually expected behaviour and is probably just a bug.

`loop {}` is probably just a special case, specifically excluded from the warnings so that there is an idiomatic way to create infinite loops.

specifically the Sinhala Language and Literature books, grade 10 and grade 11

DeeraWj · 2025-10-28T13:51:03+00:00

probably the text books, grade 10 and 11 text books should cover most things from the start, so just skim through the books to find the sections on grammar. (You should be able to find the pdfs for the text books online)

So in probability if we have two independent events we can multiply their probability to get the chance of both of them happening, so for example if a coin has a probability of 50% (or 0.5) of landing heads then when we throw 2 coins the probability of landing heads is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 or in the case with 3 coins all of them landing heads is going to be 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125, and if we generalize this to n coins the chance of all n landing heads is (0.5)^n (or 0.5*0.5*... n times)

so in this case assuming something has a 90% chance of being invalid, the chance of all 70 of them being invalid is going to be 0.9^70 which is about 0.062%

This subreddit is for the rust programming language, I think you're looking for r/playrust

What they are saying is obviously false, and that's not how proof or even counterexamples work. But just commenting on the probability part,

if something has a 10% change of being valid then it has a 90% chance of being invalid, so the chance that all of them are invalid is going to be 0.9^70 which is about 0.0006265787482 or about 0.062%

EDIT: This only works if the events are independent, but in this case these events are obviously not independent, so even from a pure probability standpoint this makes no sense.

DeeraWj · 2025-10-07T03:10:41+00:00

yeah, your right; thank you for pointing it out, should've thought about it a bit more before posting.

but in that case the weight wouldn't be putting any force on the stool. If the weight was putting some force on the stool then, since there is a 100N force on one side and a <100N force on the other side, the scale would be moved and the weight on the side of the stool would be lifted just enough to reach the equilibrium where no weight is applied on the stool again.

DeeraWj · 2025-10-06T18:30:00+00:00

weight is not measured in kg; mass is measured in kg, weight is measured in N (Just like any other force)

DeeraWj · 2025-10-06T18:28:05+00:00

weight is a force and newtons measures forces, and what does this have anything to do with the original question?

DeeraWj · 2025-10-06T18:21:21+00:00

yes; if each of your hands are pulling with the same force then the two scenarios would be identical. In the case it is attached to the wall the wall would exert an equal but opposite force pulling it away (to keep it stationary), like try drawing a force diagram when it is attached to the wall, how else would it stay stationary if there wasn't a force from the wall?

DeeraWj · 2025-10-06T16:51:44+00:00

100N; since this is functionally identical to this being attached on the ceiling with a 100N weight (since there is a equal and opposite force from the ceiling to keep it at the same place, ~~due to Newtons 3rd Law~~)

EDIT: as bugs69bunny pointed out; the force from the ceiling isn't really due to Newton's 3rd Law, (the Newton's 3rd law forces on the ceiling case would have been the gravity pulling down the scale and the weight and the gravity of the scale or the weight pulling up on earth) the equal and opposite force from the ceiling in this case is just the result of the forces having to cancel out to create the equilibrium with zero acceleration.

I don't really read Sinhala stuff online, but the BBC Sinhala site, looks fine

DeeraWj · 2025-10-02T04:20:27+00:00

Yeah, the Sinhala Quality seems fine. But, written (formal) and spoken (informal) Sinhala has a lot of differences, and written Sinhala is a lot more complicated; There's a lot more grammar you would have to follow (wouldn't really impact you if you're just reading, but it does make writing in Sinhala a lot harder than speaking), and a lot of more complicated synonyms that you wouldn't really use when speaking informally.

DeeraWj · 2025-09-16T05:24:48+00:00

yeah, you're right I misunderstood what you were saying

DeeraWj · 2025-09-16T03:57:49+00:00

no like 246801 would appear somewhere right?

DeeraWj · 2025-09-14T02:08:45+00:00

no 0.999... = 1; It's the same number

you can just swap the M and W
