It can IMO. The right thing to do is to consider the entropy in a pessimistic attack context. Enough dictionary-attackable words together still has good entropy

Just as another assurance, the article was not hard to skim for the main point

"Please never quiz folks about this in a job interview." I have seen these types of 'well if they get this it's a good sign' type of questions. I guess if you really want that you could ask "What is a little kn

Yeah, I think it is in a good place, although if such a thing became popular I'd expect more incentive to troll. Right now they seem to get bored

If you consider US political polling, one key correction is demographics of people who respond well to optional polls. Of course, they have eventual ground truth and are only predicting a 1bit outcome. Still, do you guys have any thoughts o

Median compensation around Toronto for C$158,000 seems quite high. Real numbers of course might shed light on surprising facts such as this. How do you combat the bias of people feeling that higher salaries are more important to report, how

Thanks for the clarification. I used "short" in quotes as that was the article terminology.

by ludamad 5y ago
To be "short" you can sell borrowed equities, sell calls that you write, or buy put options. Buying put options will cap your risk at the option price (I think underwater just meant "lost lots of money" - more likely to

Why now? Is online learning not a big opportunity, or not the opportunity for them?

Signal is encrypted and likes to show off how little they store, but it is not decentralized. Not being decentralized has many advantages, but a paranoid enough approach does see it as a point of failure for security (I use and love Signal,

There is definitely some percentage of people who have suddenly found flexibility and would not trade it willingly. And some percentage of those who have moved far out enough to not be able to trade it really at all. I don't think a b

I have a mass of "open source" that I churned out while I had more free time. Trouble is it's quite out of date with my skills, especially since being busy at work. I still do tinker and release rushed code, but I don't

It's niche for me. I heard about it in class a few times and every time it's mentioned learned slightly more about it. Definitely stood out amongst world religions for me, though

As far as I know, it looks like an experiment with Vercel more than anything. It seems the majority of the IDE development has interest beyond this, and this is a framework that wants to be first-class (I could be off on the latter part)

That's pretty dubious, especially about 'medicine' in general. If that was true it would double as a surefire test for ADHD. As well, all it takes is a little stronger dose and I know of a friend with ADHD that abuses it to p

Careful with gap years to clear your plate to work on slower pace stuff - if you're anything like me, you'll have trouble doing the one thing day in and day out. Even with full freedom, it is hard to manage one's output

It doesn't have a super amount of votes yet, not sure how the algo works. Do people see different front pages?

My first thought "How else do you quickly count pieces on a bitboard?". Definitely chess programming caused me to never second guess the usefulness of `popcount`

At work I learned a theoretical set of best practices for the software we integrate with. I was very enthusiastic about applying them. This caused me to learn the real set of best practices, mostly leaning on the stuff that works most robus

DRY I would argue doesn't conflict nearly as much with a nuanced approach. "Apply Aggressive Compression to Your Code" certainly flies in the face of many other nice features of code as a working body, though My more nuanced

Please imagine, as me and the GP may, that one assumes oldtimers means the people pulling up in the parking lot. I wouldn't be so quick to think someone defending an age group underrepresented here is a troll

It's also a bit ill-timed as Bitcoin is "now a fiat currency", if you go by El Salvador's wiki page

The only reason it makes sense is that flexibility is a privilege and privilege is afforded for those who can sustain a tax, generally. Seems awful for call center employees who are not given an office, though

I wonder about this - some have felt this under President $FOO but $FOO still had to concede to a loss or term limits. I feel like actual change of power is important, and the US still has this while a lot of the world is losing it

Can I get a second opinion on this (from someone here who feels they know, that is)? Say the stock option is at a call at a high valuation, but you know all exits would be higher, is the underlying stock that much more valuable?

I was reading some Madoff stuff the other day - I think generally true, but he had his share of "one of a kind offer invest this week"

I notice he says the result needs less testing; to me such a rewrite amounts to an audit of the code and thus leaves one with more confidence, definitely. I'd just buy it more perhaps with stringent static types, but I've become a

Any good references on this? Curious

Hey, we might just not fully trust our friends at archive.org to run an uncompromised database, and wish to trust 51% of a network instead. From that point of view we can point to a real problem and merely have it massively over-engineered!
