Firstly, the salt should be changed per user , one of the reasons for salting is that given a large enough user base, a lot of users will choose the same password, and that can make the hash way less effective in obscuring the passwords if

The point is that you are not achieving much. You need both parties to know the nonce and the salt for this to work, so you’ll need to send it over. At this point what value are you gaining over just sending the password?

This sounds like a “follow your dream” pitch. Great for the survivors, bad for 99.99% that did not make it. I’d be curious to know how many people tried that got nothing for their effort.

AFAIK there isn’t a good reason to do that. To be useful the hash should turn your password into a OTP, at which point it’s no longer a hash

Maximum entropy is defined by the password, the hash can reduce it.

AFAIK, most companies weren’t even planning on using Huawei equipment, they used the threat to lower prices from other suppliers, and then those suppliers countered that by getting Huawei banned through lobbying.

I was commenting to the argument that college teaches nothing useful. Law and medicine are the poster child for credentialism, you are forced by law to complete the degree to work, even if most law and medical professionals will tell you, w

And I suspect that both of you got technical degrees and work in technical fields. You are almost by definition an edge case.

Anyone with one can comment on performance? Because the pro made me think “enough to be a dev machine” but the price suggests otherwise.

“Rust is a complete waste of time” And then just point to an article about Rust the game . Jokes aside, I love the name, the pun is nice, but man it makes searching a pain. I’ve ended up too many times in pages related to the game or to ac

The whole EU grant process it’s a giant mess. I’ve seen job postings for developers where the most important required skill was knowing the grant process and how to write successful proposals (which is an art form itself). This has provided

I went with a 3700X and a 5700xt and can’t be happier. Compilation times have dropped significantly from my old box, that suffered heavily in performance from the meltdown/specter mitigations. It also holds nicely my occasional gaming

The bigger problem from my experience is that there’s too much duplication of efforts because of how grant money is distributed. I think it would make a lot of sense to have some sort of voting system where institutions could propose and vo

Then just do what all legal codes already do, increase the severity of punishment to compensate.

I’m just not “in the know” to see if this is the case, but I just found myself taking a look at the site and thinking “what’s new about this?”

Can someone give the “elevator pitch” of what sets Matrix apart?

I think part of it it’s the “build your design from blocks” mentality that is so dominant nowadays. There’s a lot of ways to do hard aesthetics, but pretty much one way to do kawaii (roundness, pastels, flat appearance). Joining kawaii-sh a

I pay 50% of my shitty income in taxes and then have to pay for health insurance on top of that because public health here is useless. Public health is not a panacea, although I’m happy for the people who get a good deal out of it.

It depends how many emails do you keep. If you get a hit it’s a good idea to ensure that you keep control of the services related to that address (change passwords, set any extra security measures). I mostly use it through 1Password, becaus

It's fun to see that most of the people here know only about the book because it appears in the Matrix (myself included). Whenever I read philosophers like Baudrillard or that share similar ideas, I can't help it but to see their

I’m guessing this setup makes sense with encrypted disk, that way, since decryption keys are on the CD, you can’t access the files without it.

Thus would be my biggest concern, I’ve used a dual boot setup on macbook pros for more than a decade now. My guess would be that it will be better to use a windows VM (I have to admit that nowadays I don’t even boot windows natively most of

That’s pretty much like saying “I don’t trust any blog hosted in blogger.com on Apple because I can find an Apple article every day”. People should start realizing that this things are just blogs with the Forbes logo on top, there’s no edit
