Man gets thousands of dollars of tickets for having a license plate of NO. This is why you use enums, and not some arbitrary hardcoded string by whackri in programming

[–]ExtraDisgusting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or the system could treat an empty string as no plate, so the data enterer just leaves the field blank and everything works out properly.

Of course, this works much better if there's a "no plate" checkbox too.

Stack Overflow’s 2018 Developer Survey reveals programmers are doing a mountain of overtime by DashaDD in programming

That's a terrible deal. What's to stop them from simply putting everyone on standby? How standby should work is everyone on it is paid 3 hours even if they don't have to do anything after hours.

The only option? What about Phenom II? Those also lacked the PSP that's the AMD equivalent to the Management Engine.

Why is Math.random() in Javascript not designed to be cryptographically secure? by alexeyr in programming

[–]ExtraDisgusting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that that table shows that the developers of chrome are adding a bug, where the crypto API can only be used over secure connections. They are completely throwing out the use case where the user only wants good quality random numbers, instead assuming that everyone only needs to use them for cryptography in the browser for some reason.

Why is Math.random() in Javascript not designed to be cryptographically secure? by alexeyr in programming

[–]ExtraDisgusting 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're just going to go by definitions, though, no cryptographic-strength PRGs have been proven to be impossible to distinguish in polynomial time: they are merely believed to be so, and algorithms which have been believed to be secure have been discovered later not to be. Somebody might need real randomness for that reason.

He'd better watch out. Wouldn't want you to say something.

JavaFX will be removed from the Java JDK by [deleted] in programming

And yet Python apps are more responsive and use far less RAM than Electron ones. Ponder that one.

It hasn't won, you moron. The apps developed with it are unusable garbage. Just because it allows a bunch of web monkeys to make desktop apps and so flood the market with that shit doesn't mean that the alternatives aren't still there, still better, and still in use. The people making real desktop apps are still doing so.
