Similarity between passwords doesn't really matter for the purposes of this checker - all it's looking for is a _possible_ exact match. If your password hashes to "abcXXX", then there are two possibilities: - "abc&q

This is super cool. I'm trying to think of common practical applications for this - would one use this to sync a script with a performance? Could this remove a lot of the work required to manually subtitle movies, TV shows, and YouTube

I might be able to do that for popular tracks fetched from SoundCloud, but I take special care not to keep any of the data people upload to the site due to copyright worries.

On average, $400/month from https://the.wubmachine.com , an online music remixing app. Split pretty much evenly between Google AdSense and Android/iOS In-App Purchases for the Android/iOS native clients.

Load management is a big problem that we're looking to fix in the future. Wikipedia's API definitely struggles when rendering old revisions of medium-to-large pages, but we try our best to respect their own API etiquette guideline

I don't fully agree with kudos (and you can have yours back!) but I have noticed that they're a very interesting metric. My own very unofficial data seems to suggest that about 1 in 10 visitors to the post will give their kudos, m
