If they are the same everywhere, you can precompute a huge database of hashes (called a rainbow table) and simply lookup the hash in the table when breaches occur to find the password. By salting, every provider who stores credentials has d

IMO all of these these are minor conveniences (except maybe Enums). Go does not need these more than generics.

The fact that Go has gained so much adoption probably justifies that investment. They are completely different languages and much of it is personal preference.

I discovered I talk to the Wind this past year and fell in love with it as well. Great track.

That's not exactly true. There's very few cases where the standard library will panic, and the handful of cases where it does is for programming errors (like passing a non-nil, zero length buffer into io.CopyBuffer).

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I find there to be more cognitive load with the separate control flow. Different strokes I guess!

Personally I really dislike exceptions and try/catch in languages. I don't like having to worry about whether some function call is going to surprise me with an exception, and handling them with try/catch really breaks the fl

If we reach 80% vaccination rates (which we're on track to do in the next 1/2 months) and these measures don't disappear quickly, I would start to be very concerned. I understand I probably seem like a naive optimist, and I s

Some of these I won't defend, I think the arrest for the protest post and the Melbourne Towers lockdown were not ok. Both of those have been widely criticized, including by branches of the government. I wouldn't be surprised if th

Depends on what desktop environment (Compositor, specifically) you're using. Gnome (Mutter) has RDP support built in but the documentation is pretty scarce and it only has a CLI interface. I'm not aware of any other distros with R

As for the why, I think being able to trust your government is a great thing. It has allowed us to basically eleminate guns in our society except for recreation/farming, and as a result of our lockdowns we have only 1000 deaths. We sho

I'd say that in general Australians are more trusting of their government than our American friends. I often see poeple on Twitter like Joe Rogan and friends expressing total shock about how compliant Aussies are with what seems like d

Regardless of whether he lost or not, RCV allows you to vote for who you really want to support without being concerned you may be wasting your vote.

It's my understanding that Apple simply can't operate in China without playing by those rules. So really, the onus is on the CCP. In this case, is Apple being compelled to do this by the US government? Or is it a choice Apple has

This sounds pretty similar to what Powershell does. You can list the contents of the directory which outputs a structured table, then pipe that into Out-GridView for an interactive GUI window.

Makes me wonder what these kind of notifications are really worth. All they do is make me immediately mute the app from ever notifying me again, and leave a bad taste in my mouth. How many people are really seeing this and impulse purchasin

Thanks for the links. I remember reading some of these kinds of studies were approved, but hadn't realised there were some already concluded. The results are certainly promising! The last psilocybin one is interesting. I listened to a

Sure! I just think the field is immature and dominated by anecdotal evidence, and especially only short term evidence. Plus I think there's some survivorship bias, people who don't have live changing experiences on these drugs rar

The recent wave of psychedelics being used to treat mental illnesses has been really interesting. I'm somewhat skeptical of the effects so I'm keen to see what long term research has to say, but I've read a few experiences li

HIBP has really grown from kind of a cool toy to a serious public good. Kudos to Troy for his great stewardship over the years, you can tell he is passionate about this and is very careful about making sure this dataset is used for everyone

Have you looked at the commit that changed the line? There's probably some reasoning in the message, or some discussion the the mailing list for the patch that changed it. You can use https://archive.org/details/gi

There are probably security implications of this, but all said I like it. It reminds me we're all human, even the agency in charge of nukes.

There's no way to achieve this...even writing things in POSIX is going to be incompatible on some systems. Having a different binary for different systems is necessary. Even writing things in an interpreted language e.g. Python still r

Yeah, I went through this process and wondered if this is even legal. Luckily my subscription was via PayPal so I just stopped paying them. I was so offended by it I'll definitely never subscribe again.

The author seems like they're trying to disprove one subjective experience with their own, and act like it's an obvious fact - despite the author almost certainly never having months of school due to a pandemic. To continue this t

I bought the paperback and read it front to back. Probably the most enjoyable technical book I've ever read. Before it, I considered low level systems programming an act of magic reserved for only the elite, but afterwards I felt like
