Could you apply subtitles or provide a transcript for deaf readers like me? It would be very helpful to following the interview.

A good example can be seen with Youtube. On a fresh computer with IP address, I was given an old game video from a friend. Finished watching it and talked other stuff. An hour later, when I went to youtube.com (main page) to look for a diff

There are over hundreds of thousands of packages. When I look up something like python to use for development, I'm getting a lot of non-main packages.

Wouldn't using the synaptic package manager work better? I've heard it touted as one of the reasons for Linux being superior than Windows and Mac (except for App store) by having a central repository of many programs. Want Gimp? sudo apt-ge

I'd say it's a mix of arrogance and lack of education. Arrogance because "woah, Facebook billions. I'm going social network direction" without any such idea to be better. Lack of education can also mean lack of experience. Areas are: Busine

I'm concerned that you advocate ignorance of 'salt'. Some functions[0][1] seem to optionally allow the use of salt, are you saying that users should just use passwords as input with bcrypt hashing? In the article, it does not suggest only b

It's likely that they are storing passwords in plain text or encrypted. If my website can accept forum posts in UTF-8 of 256+ characters, then people can log in with UTF-8 256+ char passwords.

Codahale's article is misleading with salts. Bcrypt can't also protect against brute-forcing or dictionary attacks. Please don't spread that link as an example of good password storage security. Edit: Since I can't reply to poster. I don't

His recommendation of not using salts is very misleading and should not be quoted due to poor advice as Bcrypt is also useless against dictionary and brute force attacks. The aim of password storage security is to prevent pre-computed hashi

In a way, you're right. However GitHub's model is subscriptions fund the free yet small open repositories whereas SourceForge's model is advertisement (I can't find a way to on SF though). So naturally, GitHub had to appeal for subscribers.
