While the number of hyphens is equal in both lines, the first hyphen in thr removed line is a diff char. The commit does exactly what it says, adding one extra hyphen to go below the 's' at the end of the preceding line.

Fair enough. I'm guessing it was people reacting to the title.

It's kind of hard to take them seriously, when the usage of 'bro' has become so unserious. And then they use their name in situations where 'bro' would be used for humor, e.g. BroCon '14, The More You Bro (on t

Yeah I've read that article before. Of course it doesn't change the fact that what was shipped on the cartridges 30 years ago was crap, or the fact it took 30 years for someone to decide to fix it. Atari's decision remains th

I've validated it myself for an argument when the comic was published for the phrase "correct horse battery staple". First character is 4 bits: c = 4 The next 7 chars are 2 bits/each: "or

He's not assigning entropy per word. He's using NIST SP 800-63, based on the character-length of the phrase, to assign the entropy value. Proof: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7163362

by jimminy 13y ago
The comic makes no expectation or assumption about how the words are selected. The expected entropy is derived from "correct horse battery staple", including the spaces, using NIST SP 800-63.

In my experience in the US, the carriers/operators have an area code or two, but it's in the local area code rather than regional area code. 10-digit example: XXX - YYY - zzzz The leaked data area codes are represented by the regi

Just google "conductive ink". I don't know of any printers that use conductive ink, but there is a variety of available pens with conductive ink that you can use to draw the circuits.

I've looked at the page, I do find the content offensive. The project itself (stripped of the bullshit) is somewhat interesting. Whether the project is worth any mention or platform is to the individual. I personally wouldn't have

I'm pretty sure chez17 was talking about the author. The comments here are despicable in regards to how they talk about him, especially when it was someone else that posted this. By "appreciate it for what it is" it means you

And that's fair, and is probably what's allowed them to actually come close to that $100k/month figure, before the network takes it's cut. But they're the only one I see anywhere near that figure, regardless of the

I'm still skeptical. Kriesi is one of only 2 author's on the site who've earned more than $2MM and <$5MM[0]. He's been consistently adding and updating products for 5 years, so maybe he's breaking $100k/mont

I agree with you, but that's not how Randall got the entropy for the comic. His entropy numbers come from NIST SP 800-63[0], for "correct horse battery staple" spaces included. But NIST SP 800-63 has been shown to be invalid in metric for e
