Well, real people won't choose any random 10 characters as a CSPRNG would do. Even when picking words from a dictionary, instead of four words, most people would probably just use one (or maybe two). For those are more inclined, they m

Hash index is only useful for exact matches, a full table scan would be required for any other kinds of queries. That is why most database engines have settled with B+ tree. Regardless the type of index, field length still matters if you ca

The term "差不多 (chabuduo)" could but is often NOT used with a shoulder shrug in day-to-day communication. The actual meaning, just like any other language, depends a lot on the context. For questions asking for a mount of something
