Why not statically compile and tree-shake? If this already exists why is it not effective?

Depends on which type of value people are talking about; not all forms of value are subjective.

It does imply that sandwiches are not necessary. I’m not sure what else you can draw from a comparison between an abstract concept and physical expression of one—you certainly didn’t materialize the expression out of thin air. Incidentally,

Which expression of the API is copyrighted? You can’t copyright an abstract concept—quite literally a meaningless idea. The documentation, the code, some kind of more formal expression of the exposed functionality? The distributed binary?

I’d think the metric to look at with the signifier “anymore” would be crime in Detroit over time as there has been a massive drop over the years. I don’t read any implied comparison with other cities.

Ah the explanation this was missing was that the length validation for bcrypt is sufficient to bypass truncation.

I’ll admit, despite having developed professionally on ruby for 6+ years I do not get this attitude of ruby being “beautiful”. Some things are easy to read and interpret in ruby (well-written DSLs come to mind) but it doesn’t strike me as a

How would the user tell the 73rd byte is truncated? Might as well call bcrypt itself misleading. In any case this doesn’t preclude client-side validation.

You would truncate to 72 bytes, not 20 characters (which might be more than 72 bytes anyway).

RDBMs do not generally (ie with a generic interface) allow access to the backing event stream, though, meaning you’ll need to write this yourself when you need to sync changes across databases. There’s no free lunch.

You can also trivially truncate to 72 bytes server side.
