On the contrary, I believe they have criticized it but not in a way that's especially overt. Specifically, I would consider their choice of images intentional. If you'll indulge me: Image 1: [CC on keyboard] - Followed by text abo

This very much reminds me of Nick Bostrom's 'The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant' [0]. [0] http://www.nickbostrom.com/fable/dragon.html

I agree entirely. In fact, this is precisely how passwords were implemented in a project I've only just finished. In addition to the frustrations you've outlined, consider a further case where a user's username is their email

That's an interesting use case, so I thought I'd compare it against something like diceware[0] which is dictionary based but generally accepted to have strong levels of entropy. N.b.: I'm using a Shannon calculator[1]. Let&#x

NTP does take integrity checking into account [0], though due to export restrictions and regulations the methods have varied over the years and are non-ideal. Specifically, the risk of MITM attacks/abuse is acknowledged as is the risk

Indeed. As others have noted, one of Gwern's many works reaches the front page of HN every few months - usually for its second or third time. Rather than finding this an annoyance, I enjoy these repeat postings; the ideas of which ofte

I've been using (and loving) something similar to this while switching modes between code and prose in vim [0]. In addition to changing how syntax highlighting, spellchecking and line breaks happen, there are some other interesting bit

Gwern has a great write-up on spaced repetition [0] which you might find useful. He addresses your questions and introduces several other considerations in addition. [0] http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition

This was me as well. I had tried several resources and books (including LYAH) and while I had enjoyed them, they hadn't seemed to "stick." I can't recall now where I saw Conrad Barski's tutorial [0] mentioned, perha

I can't tell whether this is sarcasm, but if it is seriously meant I really don't understand this kind of thinking. I get that a subjective feeling is being expressed, and that a similarly subjective impression that a poor design

> Its about time computers started fitting humans and not the other way round. This is a really interesting argument and has got me thinking. I have to say that I agree with your sentiment. The problem is that I think we've entered

Incredible. I can't imagine taking 6G without the benefit of a suit, never mind repeatedly. This story very much reminds me of another account by Hans Krohn [0], though he flew the MiG-21 (in a full motion simulator). [0] http:/&
