I know this won't be popular, but the whole idea of "diversification" has always struck me as a lame attempt by rich people (Stock brokers) to get more money from poor people. So I roll my eyes whenever a guy with a Rolex and a Porsche is t

Nothing to be concerned about. How many people die of CJD every year? Not many. You should be afraid of cancer, car wrecks and heart disease, they kill more people in one week than CJD does in a decade.

In C++, pass-by-reference means the method gets a reference to the thing. Pass-by-value means the method gets a copy of the thing. Do these terms mean something different in Java? Again, I'm not a big Java dev, but I am interested in why th

Primitives are cheap to copy, objects may not be. Edit: I've never used Java that much. My experience with passing things to functions/methods is primarily in C++. When I say primitive types, I mean char or int.

Solid advice. Young people have to learn this the hard way. Today, it seems everyone wants to write a FaceBook type app and be hugely popular with mainstream folks (a household name). However, there are tons of devs (mostly people you seld

DJB's sha1 code won the Engineyard sha1 contest back in 2009. His code was 14 times faster than OpenSSL's sha1. They were testing 3,079,431,974 hashes/second. http://cr.yp.to/nearsha.html http://www.win.tue.nl/cccc/sha-1-challenge.html

Social media in general seems to be a fad. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just have to wonder out loud. When Farmville and fart apps are worth 50 billion dollars and everyone is into it, I just have to shake my head and wonder if we are squandering

How will they make money? I agree with you. I like privacy, but ad supported search seems to be the only viable business model. Advertisers won't pay DDG b/c there's no one to target.

I use and like them both. I find Ruby more consistent and Python with better libs (for what I do). Either is a fine choice.

Yes, we're part of a mature culture. We do not incessantly need to be digitally liked by others who we don't really know.

New school is the web browser, JavaScript and interpreted languages (ruby, python, etc). Old school is assembly, C and C++. Like Web 2.0 versus Web 1.0. Old school isn't snazzy and exciting and has a higher entry point. You won't find many

I would hope users would use sentences rather than just one dictionary word. Don't use 'password' for your password. But you have a point, humans will be human. I could do checking for whitespace and length to mitigate that possibility a bi

I'm sure he felt his lectures were no good. Most smart people are that way. They underestimate the impact of what they do. I've read that Leonardo da Vinci felt he had accomplished nothing when he died.

I would try nearlyfreespeech.net. They may cave too, but they allow anything to be hosted provided it is not illegal. They have a page describing takedowns.

I agree. That's why I added the base64 encoding option. The sentence you gave would SHA1 | base64 encode to this password: PtyrFg9YAStZenWaledWVdzTl8E= It has uppercase, lowercase, numeric and a special char. If that is too long for some si

Submitter here. I decided to take my own advice and use a strong, unique password on every site that requires authentication. That's easy to say, but hard to do. I can't imagine how non-technical people cope with all the security advice abo

With noscript, browsing still works fine, you just have to explicitly allow the javascript you want/need rather than allowing just any site to execute code in your browser.

Most people do not realize that javascript runs locally in their browser on their device. That's been my experience anyway. When I try to explain this to friends, they respond with, "No, it's only on that webpage I visit."

Good idea. Lot's more space too when compared to hex encoding. I added it to my app: http://imgur.com/EcqZ1

Thanks. You can cut and paste the passwords. Write an app like I did or if you trust others, download one. I like it because it's portable (no secret encryption crap) and easy to recall. Also, if one site is compromised, like gawker, and th

He's just pointing out that a big project will have bugs and he's right. That's not a matter of opinion. Not much fuzz testing has been done on OpenBSD since the early 2000s. When Theo did fuzz test back then, he found bugs. He claims to ha

See my reply below. I seldom do it in a terminal and when I do only on my home machines. The command above is for explanation. If I showed you my app without that explanation, it wouldn't be the same.
