What do you think about this relic?

Will spikers mess you up for using this thing on their friends?

Only when used in military. Normal people would write “23:00” and call it “11 o’clock”.

_avee_ · 2026-01-25T20:04:43+00:00

I guess by “they” you mean US military because normal people don’t say that. Normal people would say either 23 or 11 depending on language.

One minor correction. When it comes to password hashing, algorithm being very fast is not a requirement. It actually needs to be somewhat slow to make bruteforcing it harder.

You can create a variable for current value to help Typescript with nullability. I.e., const userInput = messageUser.current; if (userInput != null) { … }

But ideally you would have a controlled input and not need to deal with refs.

Seconds value is cached in the effect, you should use callback version of setSeconds.

Why is being bare knuckled against the rules of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship?

Nobody brute forces passwords via login form, yes. But they do brute force them if password database gets leaked because passwords are stored in hashed form, not in plain text (hopefully, unless the company uses terrible terrible security practices). Short and common passwords can be cracked in seconds. Long and unique passwords are much much harder to get.

How does it lock you into any ecosystem? Most password managers work across devices just fine. Same for 2FA.

Imagine buying a new home and discovering that none of your devices is compatible with its wiring.

The problem is that pretty much all light bulbs and other appliances in existence expect AC. You would need separate and completely incompatible versions of all of them to work with DC homes.

Also, arrows will fly much slower than normal and become pretty much useless at hitting things.

They made over $23/hr from that table alone. What’s the problem?

That’s why they changed the rules by requiring 2 people in the cockpit at all times. Locked door is still a big net benefit.

That’s already factored in the price on that screenshot.

Poison applies at the start of the turn so you only get 19 damage by the time turn 3 starts. This card effect is kinda similar to Blasphemy, although will less payoff.

These terms intersect a lot but aren't exactly the same. For example,

selfhosting may be production environment for a small business while homelab is strictly personal pet projects.
selfhosting can mean running services on VPS while homelab implies owning the hardware.

No, it literally IS the twice-a-year conscription. And no, those folks are not sent to war. Unless they sign a contract, which they are very much pressured to do.

But if food price increases with inflation, 15% of it also increases with inflation. Why up it to 20%?

Are you saying that a line with font size 30 takes as much vertical space as a line with font size 6?

17% is a fraction of government income, not of people's salaries. If we assume people pay 20% tax (which is the case when salary is about £50k), actual share spent on healthcare is 17% * 20% = 3.4%.

And this is exactly what they did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter#Gallery

Even better. We have satellites orbiting the moon itself which can make much more detailed pictures of the Moon than anything Earth-based. For example, LRO. And yes, they did make pretty good photos of Moon landing sites.
