I had a visceral reaction to "global salt" (I've always heard this called: "pepper") because it's so insecure for passwords, but I guess it's not as bad for email addresses. In the case of passwords, we

It's cool that your response here is to explain why the comment got down voted. It would be helpful if people would explain their down votes -- preferably in the concise and non-accusatory tone you used here. The down vote itself is

Surely both of these are factors. I would suggest: 1. That at an early age, programming role models in particular aren't as important as STEM role models in general. It's certainly anecdotal, but I moved towards programming as

The phrase "Congress shall have power" occurs 3 times in the original constitution and another eight times in the various amendments. I agree that congress is probably not the best body for setting campaign finance regulations, bu

It's also useful when your PITA sys admin won't give you SSH but also hasn't taken any precautions against exec. Of course, the better solution is to leave ASAP...

When I go visit my in-laws who have two daughters in high school, I'm amazed at how the things that were nerdy when I was in high school 10 years ago are cool now. These girls who watch Dr Who and make honor band are extremely popular.

I had to hack the CSS a bit to make it readable, but I agree with the author. Particularly, I like his comments on Go's attitude towards OOP. As a Ruby hacker, I find that everyone on my team really likes to build a class and think of
