Oh, I hoped to see something based on Fechner colours ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fechner_color ). It gave me quite some creeps when a misconfigured XFree86 server managed to draw a bright red line right across the

Not much, since the ocean floor tends to be quite young on geological terms. For example, the oldest parts of the floor of the northern Atlantic ocean only started to form after Laurasia broke apart 50 million years ago, and the floor of th

As argued elsewhere in this thread, there is plausible evidence that the name of the „master“ branch in git is directly derived from the bitkeeper concept of „master“ and „slave“ repositories: https://mail.gnome.org/archives

This mail discusses some of the origins https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2019-May/... It argues that git‘s master branch is most likely directly derived from the master and slave repository

That's why the TARDIS is much more realistic, as it fully leaves this universe before (in its own proper time) reappearing at another point in space and time (and with properly adjusted velocity to match its new surroundings).

Dinosaurs never evolved bipedal locomotion, they evolved from older, bipedal animals and later some of them reverted to quadrupedal locomotion.

That just turns hash(password) into the effective plain text password, which the server must know in this scheme.
252.
by fhars 6y ago
Yeah, but then the server must know the plaintext password to check the client reply, which is exactly the problem password hashing schemes were designed to solve.

It doesn’t hurt much, but it doesn’t help much either, especially for web applications. If the user cannot trust that the server doesn’t do bad things with the password, they also cannot trust the javascript hash function sent from the same

No, the salt can be public (it was on Unix machines before the invention of /etc/shadow). The important thing is that it is unique per password, so that Hash(Salt#Password) is unique even if two passwords happen to be the same.

It is a closed lightlike curve. There is no impact on causality, as time does not pass on a lightlike curve.

Fox and Netflix both have an "x" in the name, but is that sufficient cause to identify them?

Yes, your first sentence can easily be read as (I am only exaggerating slightly) “how can you be so stupid to ask the obvious?” Short form online communication is hard.

Didn't you just say that you stopped pretending to accept tips for people you have not signed up in January 2019? And yet here you say that you still have this same deceptive behaviour in your browser?

Ah, yes, the good old supply and demand theory of health: if you can‘t pay for your healthcare, you obviously have no need for it, because needs are only things you are willing and able to pay for.

No, they would just click anything that makes that dialog that stands between them and their goal of installing the app go away without reading the text and then be unhappy that their battery drains. Any design that relies on a confirmation
