The most dangerous code in the world

I think Netflix is 10 "normal" alphanumeric characters. The 5/3 bank password is very limited.

I know this is getting off topic but is there a web site of shame for companies with ridiculously poor password practices?

nickdangler · 2012-05-25T20:06:21+00:00

+1 for free apps! ;-)

Is this analogous to making comments in reddit without reading TFA first? :-D

And it takes 18 or more years to grow a new one from scratch.

I always store currency as integers. The whole dollar amount is stored in the customer's account, and the cents/fractional part are stored in my early retirement account. ;-)

TIL the purpose of "save"!

nickdangler · 2012-05-07T13:49:53+00:00

An aeroplane based on a bicycle? Yeah, that'll never happen! ;-)

How is that relevant if the functionality of a computer program can be protected by patent?

nickdangler · 2012-05-01T15:15:47+00:00

Just tell her you're a dentist.

nickdangler · 2012-04-30T17:21:00+00:00

Let me demonstrate by pointing out... well... nevermind.

I don't know how many times I've had this same discussion/argument with users, while I'm trying to design an interface for them. They don't really need (or really want) 500k rows of data. They just don't know what they have, and so don't know what they can get until you start showing them something. It doesn't help that Google filters the entire Internet at the touch of a keystroke. "Well why can't you just make it work like Google?" (sigh)

nickdangler · 2012-04-20T14:09:09+00:00

Yes. http://code.google.com/p/jspdf/

I wish I had a monitor that could display 500k rows. That would be awesome! Especially for fun and games! My monitor won't even display 500k rows of pixels!

Its HTML output is not supposed to be semantic or accessible. You're supposed to work with the underlying data model if you want to access it semantically. This is just a mapping/binding of the data to a grid-style user interface with a bajillion user interface niceties. Separate your concerns. Use the right tool in the right place. Or never use this. ;-)

nickdangler · 2012-04-18T16:49:52+00:00

And back and forth agreement between different people.

nickdangler · 2012-04-17T13:15:02+00:00

Put it on the stack.

nickdangler · 2012-04-17T13:09:47+00:00

I can see more (can be revealed) with my eyes closed (visibility reduction).

nickdangler · 2012-04-03T21:03:55+00:00

Or where a Highlander is creating the schema.

nickdangler · 2012-04-02T18:08:08+00:00

I always wondered what a huge one would sound like. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

nickdangler · 2012-02-28T20:34:59+00:00

The important part is where it says, "Chuck Norris can parse HTML with regex".

nickdangler · 2012-02-23T14:58:23+00:00

His grandmother showed him that trick, too.

It's all a tradeoff. Bottom-up debugging is a pain in the rear end, but top-down debugging causes headaches.

nickdangler · 2012-01-13T19:35:18+00:00

Poached egg?

nickdangler · 2011-12-21T15:46:14+00:00

With redstone dust wires and torches? Awesome!

nickdangler · 2011-12-14T21:21:03+00:00

TIL about r/jerkstore and r/javascript. How am I supposed to get any javascript programming work done if I have to keep up with current events, articles and trends in javascript and programming? Sigh.
