I don't know a whole lot about this area, but why would dictionary passwords be more vulnerable when considering a password hash? Couldn't you just salt the hashes with enough characters to defeat rainbow tables?

It's a nice start to something that looks pretty useful. There are some things to consider though: What if you have headings as the first column in each row? What if you have headings in the first column, and the first row? Also, w

On the other hand, the developers built the game with the assumption that you'd be playing on the basis of a standard set of software. If you change that software, the assumption is broken. I wonder if the TOS says anything about agree

I think that majority of people who want to use this (or think it's a good idea) aren't the kind of people who would be able to write the code to do it.

1) They disallowed complex numbers. 2) You can't just do an operation to the right side and then do the inverse inside of the function on the left side. It has to be done outside of the function. 3) You didn't accomplish anything

In general, I'd suggest you don't "out" people. First, they might not want to be thrust into the spotlight. Second, it doesn't really add anything to the conversation when you do it like this. I don't think the

This is actually something I've been thinking about recently. Once we've automated all of the "manual labour" jobs away in the name of efficiency or human safety, what do we do with the people who are only fit for manual labour? Ethically,

Just curious: how do the regexes compare when you use "^@(.*)@$" ? Semantically, it's closer to the string version. Realistically, you'd expect them to behave exactly the same, but Go's pretty new, and you never know what is or isn't going
