As a layman, I am skeptical. This is very similar to the promises that were made regarding 3d printing of other materials, and those weren't quite fulfilled. Like many hyped new techniques, they end up as techniques that are almost goo

You're right. If you choose a weak password, nothing can save you. This holds in any case, so this is not specifically an argument to this use. Let's do some math to see if your argument about bruteforcing holds stake (spoiler: it

True! So you have to choose a good master password and use an expensive hash. On the other hand, if you take any other approach, you place either confidence in the security of a service (1password), or you store passwords somewhere. In both

Does this also work when you use someone else's phone or computer?

by kutkloon7 9y ago
You can add something (e.g. a number) to the end to make a different password. The idea is that you have a _very_ secure master password (so bruteforcing it is not practical - to make this even more true you could hash a huge number of time

I can't say that the study fully convinces me (I agree with szemet, not all counterarguments are carefully refuted). There is however, a very different standard in the US, compared to other countries. In the Netherlands (and other coun

The problem with a password manager is that you don't have easy access to one when you're on a different machine. A better way is to use a scheme that hashes your username, service name, and master password to generate a password.

"Americans have an impoverished and immature conception of technology, one that fetishizes innovation as a kind of art and demeans upkeep as mere drudgery." Pretty much hits the nail on the head, although I want to note this does

But refinement doesn't seem accurate, as it implies that there are changes being made, while this is not necessarily the case.

Not really related to the technological side of the story, but I had a horrible experience with the international trains from Budapest. So they don't need a broken electronic system to provide a horrible service ;) My parents went to b

While I'm not exactly bilingual, I would like to teach my children (when I have them) multiple languages, just because I think that the potential for learning (and especially for learning languages) is at its maximum during childhood.

True. People from Switzerland or Luxembourg often speak 3 or more languages fluently. A lot of other people in Europe speak their native language and a bit of English as well. I don't feel Americans appreciate the luxury of speaking a

Not sure why this is getting downvoted... Seems relevant information to me.

I'm having the same experience. I have been working on my thesis for the last year. My university is in a different city, and everyone working on something related is in another country. This made it hard for me to make progress and th

IMHO the patents are usually not narrow, but overly broad, and they should not have been registered in the first place.

While reading this article it gradually appeared to me that it just HAD to be about UK English, not US English.

From a legal point of view you are completely right. Personally I find the whole idea of IP to be a little too strict. It is possible for me to come up with an idea completely independently and still get sued because someone got the same id

If such a spec was released before LaTeX was released, it might have stood a chance. Now everyone is used to LaTeX, no-one will switch, because there is simply too little benefit. While I appreciate the effort that has gone into it, and I c

A better question would be: Should programming be liberated from the von Neumann style?

This also has to do with browser compatibility. Vanilla Javascript sucks so hard because it's so difficult to write non-trivial stuff that just works. This is the whole raison d'être for JQuery. This is mainly because the differen

Well, if a software bug leads to data corruption it is not really "allowed" as well. It is quite amazing that there are not more bugs like this. Intel spends an insane amount of money on very large teams of very smart people to wo

Or you just encrypt sensitive files and stash it in a folder somewhere. The chance is practically zero they will find it.

Can you explain that? I can't see how different tab settings would mess up formatting. Unless you use tabs to match the position of things over two different lines (which is abusing tabs), or mix spaces and tabs, tabs should work fine.

"The model estimated that using spaces instead of tabs leads to a 8.6% higher salary". So the model actually predicts causality, instead of correlation? That's amazing. I'll start using spaces instead of tabs today and I

Let me be a bit pessimistic amd ignorant here. People who want to use an FPGA should learn VHDL or verilog. There have been a lot of projects to make C compile to VHDL/verilog, and it's generally accepted that it does not work ver

Nowadays, programming is much more complex than it used to be (unless you consider toy programming languages). For me, visual feedback was always a key factor in the things that I made. When I started, there was no top down or bottom up. Yo

I don't think that particular solution would be good from a user experience point of view, but it is indeed a nice idea to filter out domains that you have received emails from (and are not deleted or in the spam folder). However, ther
