Nothing magic here. Be careful with the == comparison operator and its type juggling. If you want to match things precisely, use the === operator. Loose comparisons can have dangerous side-effects! The MD5 examples are really just cloaked c

So the "fast attack" uses the GPUs to compute on-demand, not using precomputed values?

Doesn't the length of a salt modify the effective length of the password? If the salt is 16 chars and the password is only 4 but a strong hashing algorithm is used wouldn't it still effectively be 20 characters? If that's the

AI is very interesting but not very accessible because it's so specialized. I have a fairly strong programming background but feel like I'd need to study theory for a significant amount of time to even get my feet wet with AI. If

I agree, it's a family of closely-related implementation details. You can also shrink the scope using visibility, get inherent namespace benefits for what would otherwise be loose functions, etc. The benefits are primarily organization

As a programmer I really appreciate these kinds of things as a rough howto and source of inspiration. It would've been cool if they showed how those roughs translated into finished UIs though!

Fuck that. Do you want to mislead a racist into interviewing or hiring you? Besides that, I'm really tired of the cancer that is the anticipation or expectation of racism. I understand there are lots of examples of racism on a regional

WHY ARE WE YELLING? Also, the number of devices in existence grows annually, it's going to be free, and they haven't yet accomplished their goal. They're also launching it to every form factor at the same time. Java runs on s

We've seen a few grid A-star/grid-based pathfinding articles and tools now and they're really interesting but every time I see one I can't help but think, "how is pathfinding done for games which are not a grid?&q

Nope! By the way-- the white text overlaps your background at very high resolutions and makes the product description line unreadable, especially above 1830px wide in FF. The "Buy 1 get 1 free" overlaps "reward" which mi

For practical purposes I don't know anything about encryption; I'll just get that out of the way now. The parent warns against messages with similar formats, exchange of pleasantries or signatures. In particular, it warns against

I didn't say he developed it. He used it 3-4 years before it became widely known and was responsible at least in part for its proliferation. Finding your way to an elegant solution does not mean you created that solution. In 1999, Goog

He's a great speaker too, he'll discuss topics I am not at all familiar with but the context he wraps them in makes them easy to intuit. He also has a very intense passion for his work and his ability to dissect problems into thei

Elon Musk is a freaking alien. His list of accomplishments is ridiculous-- Paypal, SpaceX, Tesla and those yet-to-be-realized like hyperloop. He's not a role model he's someone to be downright jealous about! (Sarcasm!) Seriously t

Wow that landing was really incredible! This link starts with the approach (5m:52s in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1lYG... I wonder what it would feel like scaled up to a regular plane.

I really like the colors, simplicity, clean feel and clear communication. I'd say it feels a little like a mobile-on-desktop kind of thing. Did you maybe do mobile-first and not follow through completely? A side-by-side graphic and&#x2

Totally agree, looks great on PC and it should be relatively easy from a structural perspective to do. You also show a guy on his mobile device in the image (ouch!). You should definitely do it!

GetJustLanded.com is nice and clean, the mobile perspective is very simple and straightforward but the desktop view feels rich enough. I do wonder if the transition to the iTunes store hurts even though iTunes has strong brand recognition.

I'm not a designer but the text sizes for headings, CTAs and the product name feels plain wrong on this page. There also isn't any contrast for action buttons so they're somewhat camouflaged. This leaves the product name and

Except FFXIV hasn't seen nearly the massive expansion that WoW has. Heavensward will give some indications of things to come but I see them following WoW extremely closely, almost methodically. Some examples: - For the longest time

I've been involved in the gamehacking scene for longer than I'd like to admit; it's a tremendous amount of fun and feels rewarding but it's a very hollow reward. Sure, you can build programs to manipulate game clients to

This is a common practice and more often than not the data is reused, so it is provided by a "data provider", a method living in the test code, which returns a structure with inputs and expected results. For example, in PHPUnit:

First a disclaimer: I am a programmer, not a designer or UX specialist. When I make a responsive table I feel like turning every column into a distinct row makes it more difficult to navigate; instead I prefer to split the columns into gr

Everyone experiences failure in their life. I don't think you can measure "struggling" by looking at metrics like the quality of your first job. I've also worked since 16, nobody covered my transportation or sent me to
