I came here to complain about calling things 'next-generation languages' when it's obvious that a next-gen language would have to have a purely functional AST. Turns out Unison has that; so you've got my interest! I agre

That's what I chose to project into his response. Both interpretations are plausible which itself was sort of the point of my response.

Yeah; totally! You're only 30 and already happy with your life!? That's way too fast dude! You really need to feel incomplete and unsatisfied for at least a decade or two more! /s

Maybe they should just publicly fire someone to make this all go away.

Indeed; but that's because the premise of the article seems to be that the EU is doing this out of jealousy and spite. As much as US companies may despise it but outside of their own borders they simply need to adhere to different rule

Were you 'transferred' to the head (or even VP)? Transferring to a colleague pretending to be a supervisor is a common hack support reps use. If that was the case the chances are this 'cultural norm' might've been l

Have you ever actually worked as a customer service agent? Getting low-paid employees to consistently be courteous to angry customers is actually really hard to get right. You probably aren't; but lots of customers are assholes. Lots

The simple fact that you're talking about this now is already a rather mighty feat. Before Marissa took over Yahoo wasn't even worth mentioning anymore outside of sentences containing the word 'downhill' or equivalent.

It's actually rather relevant geopolitical commentary. If Greece won't be getting money from the IMF they will after all need to find a new monetary partner. There have been clear overtures in that direction already and key party

Really? I just reread the article and I couldn't find anything about bcrypt containing the salt as part of its output. P.S. The XKCD wasn't directed tptacek but at tedunangst who apparently felt my comment made this thread 'a

by mtrimpe 12y ago
There's an XKCD for that: https://xkcd.com/1053/ As far as I'm concerned bcrypt took the term for a concept that is generally understood to be deterministic (hashing) and redefined it by adding the randomness
132.
by mtrimpe 12y ago
Ah OK; so the default bcrypt implementation essentially just includes the salt in it's output by definition. Got it. I thought hashes were deterministic by definition so I was wondering where the required randomness came from.

Why? Also; if you don't feel like writing a useful response feel free not to respond at all.

by mtrimpe 12y ago
> 1. Empirically: most of the applications I reviewed that used bcrypt simply used the defaults. Isn't that a security risk of it's own though? Wouldn't creating a rainbow table for (non-salted) passwords hashed with the d

I'm more surprised that we don't just create a written version of the lecture as well and synchronize it with the video. It's especially surprising since having your MOOC captioned is already mandatory if you want to comply

Unless you think it's a winner-takes-all market that's ripe for the plucking and believe you need to be first to even have a shot at capturing it.

There's a Dutch conversion specialist who actually gave a pretty cool talk about the System 1 vs 2 distinction in relation to persuasion. Definitely worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mOgWH5JZkg

I think Booking.com was actually a client of Persuasion API; a competitor of Conversify (coincidentally all three Dutch companies.) I think they actually ran this experiment only through their mailing list though but either way Booking.com

As far as I'm concerned <a onClick="function('value')"> was bad because 'function' was a global variable reference. I don't think that's the case for React though so I'm not sure if th

I'm not at all arguing there's a free lunch here. It's a tough cookie to crack and requires a reimagining of half of computing. I also think it's the only possible way to go. 1) As for the query costs; yes they are there

No; each data producer (customer/person/identity) has their own serialized (as in ordered) queue of events. Since the system is fully immutable each update would also include the state of the system it is an update to (which can b

Not to mention that the any ability to do proper range queries would offer relatively easy ways to hack the encryption. I've been thinking a lot about this and the only way to handle the problem this tries to solve is to: * treat the d

One of the core tenets of toxicology is actually that everything is toxic; the varying amounts and damage it causes are what being toxic is all about. Source: I gave a presentation once in middle school. ;)

As a bisexual gender dysphoric man and I can tell you that this strawman of alternative sexuality doesn't hold up at all. What people who don't fall within the norm are mainly concerned with is ridicule, condemnation, threats, abu

If I understood correctly it was directed at a talk about diversity in tech and getting more women involved in technology.

Involuntary sexualization is sexist though. What if the picture on screen was a woman saying 'I want to be judged on my merits not my gender' and the guys were saying 'Nice tits' out loud and laughing? Would that be se

I just happened to be reading Consciousness and the Social Brain [1] which gives a theory of consciousness as the brain's representation of attention. One of their points was that if consciousness is just a representation it should be

Very recognizable. I often write somewhat decently abstracted code for a client problem. The quality requirements for this stuff aren't very high so it's not 'open source quality,' and I definitely don't want it to

It's also a matter of mindset and effort. I'm fairly certain I could study for a few weeks and ace the tests. I'm unfortunately also very resistant to doing useless work. When the first interaction with a company involves req
