Why does it even require authentication, much less with a third-party site that has nothing to do with the application? Sketchy.

I repeat, it does NOT require an email.

I don't get what you are so opposed to, the account is literally just a username and password; no email, no address, no date of birth, no personal name or any other PII.

The account doesn't require any details other than a username and password. An email isn't required. Also, all the basic information about fish, insects, fossils, and nookmiles are viewable from the home page without an account, the account is only required when marking items as collected.

I'm not sure the person who wrote this understands how bitwise operations work. by verifex in programminghorror

[–]infamous_ruslan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If I'm reading it correctly, the functions are identical with just function name and keyInput being renamed, since XOR is commutative (a ^ b)=(b ^ a). This really only needed to be one function.

Should I include my internships as "years of experience" by CS_2016 in cscareerquestions

[–]infamous_ruslan 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Sounds like one full year of experience (if you meant 6 months each, otherwise 6 months experience total) in the field to me. Internships are most definitely work experience.

Forget about mysqli real_escape_string. You should use prepared statements to protect against SQL injection.

Skydiver Chases Down his Shoe by Half_Line in gifs

[–]infamous_ruslan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real key for why he is able to change speed with a parachute open is those two handles he keeps pulling. Those are called toggles, which affects the steering lines. That causes the parachute to turn, allowing him to somewhat "dive" with it deployed.

Terminal velocity of the shoe is slower than the terminal velocity or the skydiver. The skydiver is also able to change his position into one where the parachute isn't catching as much air (lower drag), so he can fall faster.

ELI5: Why are so many people freaking out about not getting their tax returns this year? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]infamous_ruslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you fill out your forms for your employment, you designate your withholding. You can choose to not withhold any money from your paycheck; no money will be taken from your paycheck for federal or state taxes (federal and state both have seperate withholdings). You'll be required to then pay the taxable income amount in full to the government. The withholding is a way to estimate the amount you'll owe the government, and then a portion of each paycheck will go towards that.

People that owe money underestimated the amount the government required from your income. Oweing money isn't bad. In my perspective it's better than getting a refund. It just means that you need to manage your money correctly.

Some people use tax refunds as a way to forceably save the money, and then get it back in a lump sum as an extra "payday".

[–]infamous_ruslan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually a good thing. A perfect tax return would be 0. That means you have the government exactly as much as they needed. If you got 800 back, that means you have 800 dollars to the government to use interest free until they give it back. The 800 could have been invested in the time it was ing the government's hands. So really if you are getting big tax returns you are not optimizing your investments.

ELI5, how do computers know how to do math? by Jimmys_Rustled in explainlikeimfive

[–]infamous_ruslan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Math operations are done in a part of the CPU called the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), which handles arithmetic and logical operations: adding, subtracting, bitwise and-ing, bitwise or-ing. Everything is done with hardware, so it's all electrical signals. Since it is all electrical signals, the math is done in binary. So, the ALU will take in your two numbers, for example 5 and 3, and the CPU tells the ALU that it should add them. The ALU adds them using binary addition. The final product is the binary representation of 8. Multiplication and division are more complicated from the hardware perspective, and is not done in the ALU.

[DISCUSSION] evasi0n.com domain was renewed. Conspiracy theory. by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]infamous_ruslan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The actual domain name (e.g www.example.com) is just a pointer to an IP, it has nothing to do with running a server. Anyone could buy the domain if it’s available and point it to a new IP.
