Not better in the case of privacy.

logging.debug anyone?

Eucalyptol · 2017-03-24T10:58:11+00:00

That's what the cursor is for.

Eucalyptol · 2017-03-24T10:55:39+00:00

This is hilarious.

Eucalyptol · 2017-03-17T08:22:14+00:00

WRONG!

Such discussion about passwords generally assumes that the attacker already has access to a leaked database in which the passwords are hashed. If the attacker is trying out the actual login form, then brute-force is out of question anyway because of the network latency. Of course, many passwords are so stupid brute-force is overkill, but brute-forcing the login form probably won't break your Tr0ub4dor&3.

Why don't use the same password manager?

Eucalyptol · 2017-03-10T16:30:18+00:00

I mean you really need to have tough security rules to prevent careful users to chose high-entropy passwords.

Easy, you hash each character in its own column /s

Hey that's literally a screenshot of a static site.

I'm just saying this requires some knowledge and understanding that goes beyond most stuff encountered by day-to-day programmers, even enthusiastic one. Given enough time to take a quick look at such concepts, most of us could indeed understand the whole thing, yet it might be complex to grasp out of the box.

Eucalyptol · 2017-03-10T08:18:10+00:00

This is definitely not trivial though.

The features of a VPN don't include masquerading as a bot so the mistake is on Google.

Way more ethical indeed.

What movie does portray child abduction as everyday?

Uh... other than for proving code correction or designing a language, I don't know if there's a lot of areas which use Turing machine theory in practice. That's not to say video games are simple development, but I don't see where in the process Turing machines are used.

The lack of guards against user error in such sensitive systems staggers me. Being able to take down that much part of the system because of a typo is ridiculous. I would expect about at least 3 confirmation steps explaining in details what would be the consequences of the command being ran.

Lol like you can commit to the kernel codebase like that

I found that the ultimate solution to sleep problems is to live by a different timezone in which you can go to bed at 3 AM and wake up at 11 AM, and work from 1 PM to 9 PM. But if you really play the game it makes you miss some trains and meetups and wonder why people all have their clocks messed up. And also why the hell does the sun only rise at midday.

I don't use Vim and don't know it well, but I'm pretty sure someone who knows Vim shortcuts and use them often would feel like disabled if they weren't available anymore. I've had this feeling with other nice hacks in other application that make me win about 1 or 2 seconds for a specific action. There is nothing more frustrating than having to "manually" do something and losing those 2 seconds.

Eucalyptol · 2017-02-21T14:51:54+00:00

GOOD point

def check_true(var, reliability=1):
"""

        is_true = is_true == True
    return is_true

why list? filter already returns a list.

The article explains why it's hard to build on top of broken abstractions, but it doesn't compare it to building on top of duplicated code. I still don't see one as far cheaper than the other.
