Absolutely. I wasn't really clear. I didn't mean it needs an explanation of hashing. I meant there needs to be some short answer to the question of "if they can't pull out my password, how do the check it?" I don&#x

That's a pretty technical explanation. I think something like this would suffice: > If the website can pull out your password to show it to you, an attacker can pull out the password to steal it. As ever, the issue is explaining has

I agree; this point shouldn't be about password reset emails being more secure, it should be about the fact you don't need to be able to email them their password to have a successful account recovery process. That said, it can be

Swap to use a slightly faster function someone else already wrote, or rewrite your code. Seems like the latter is more guilty of premature optimisation if this library is fast enough for the particular use.

I'm assuming the context of the question is "People say they see it replacing C++ all the time". People actively want a C++ replacement, and a lot of the features of Rust specifically target the pain points of C++. The pain p

From TFA: native functions often have to cover complicated edge cases from the ECMAScript specification [...] By optimising for the 99% use case, fast.js methods can be up to 5x faster than their native equivalents.

It would be nice to have an endpoint to get a list of teams, though I guess that data is pretty static.

The preview dialog is useful, but the default option for the delimiter could be guessed and the preview dialog used to confirm it.

There is RFC4180, but that came way after people were using it in lots or ways incompatible with the spec, so it isn't a huge help when paraing arbitrary files. I'd recommend following it if you're generating files though.

Most of the speed comes from only parsing a frequently used subset of ISO8601. For a core library, you probably want a more complete implementation.

I'm not much of a regex wizard, but I tried to add all the features listed other than parsing the result and creating the datetime object. iso_regex = re.compile('([0-9]{4})-?([0-9]{1,2})(?:-?([0-9]{1,2})(?:[T ]([0-9]{1,2})(

RFC3339 makes most of the fields mandatory, while this library leaves them optional, so it is more accurately a subset of ISO8601 than an implementation of RFC3339. That said, you could describe it as an extension of RFC3339.

The library has the following features your regex is missing: * Every part from month onwards is optional * Separator characters are optional * Date/time separator can be a space as well as T * Timezone information * Parsing the string

Before ARC they used manual reference counting. At runtime each object has a count of how many things have declared they have a reference to it. You can increment that count by doing [obj retain] whenever you know you're keeping a refe

Talking from a practical standpoint, to try and have GET requests with large parameters you could put the data in the message body, and then a hash of the message in the URL to avoid caching issues.

For new developers, or for developers coming from other languages? I think a lot of the trouble people have with starting to develop apps for Apple platforms actually comes from trying to figure out the APIs and style, while at the same tim

That's always been the intuition. If swift maintains a distinct Objective-C style but with more approachable syntax, then that suggests the intuition is true.

Games make easy examples because you can do a simple render loop and input. Most people understand the concept of sprites and basic animation. Apple's UI frameworks are all MVC based, which means multiple classes and apple specific UI

This being the only code sample of swift I've seen, my overriding takeaway is that for the basic stuff it's remarkably similar to Objective-C with a lick of paint. If people really take to swift, it'll be interesting to see i

The context of this sub-thread is on the iPhone you can just double tap the top of the screen to scroll to the top quickly. Which is all about browser chrome.

I said tap the _bottom_ of the screen, not the top.

It's a rap genius annotation. If you click it with javascript enabled, an annotation will pop up on the right hand side. Looks like on the main site it's designed to degrade gracefully so it just navigates back to the article itse

What then? You tap the bottom of the screen to bring up the chrome instead.

There's already a precedent for this on HN with scribd for pdf links.

You can jump to the top of most native iOS scrollable content, including web content in Mobile Safari, by tapping the system bar at the top of the screen

Also tapping the bottom of the screen reveals the chrome, which is really useful for not losing your place.

So what if I have to repeat the navigation markup 8 separate times? It’s not that hard. We used to do it for much larger sites! I would still be tempted to use a static site generator for it. You can always hand over the compiled
