I like how it has almost become the norm to post the link to Adrian Colyers blog about any paper on Distributed Systems than a link to the paper itself. :)

(I'm not complaining, I love his blog)

For someone coming from a high(er)-level programming language like Python - who wants to learn more about how computers work - I think it would be a useful stepping to learn C. C introduces some of the concepts and techniques that you need to understand Operating Systems & lower level things like that.

Astronomically low

Ha ha this is pretty awesome!

Not surprising given the industry.

I'm always amazed by the vast size and splendor of space! This is brilliant. Waiting for more to come.

This is promising news. Though I do feel that current 3d technology leaves a lot to be desired. Personally I feel the next evolution in the the realm of movie theaters would be VR.

And she is absolutely right!

I have this book. Was a pretty good introduction to Linux for me. Mark Sobell is awesome

Great to see all these functional concepts being possible in the classic languages!

Always worth knowing what's happening behind all the flashy UIs and JS. Great read!

Anybody have a full article link?

Very nicely written post. Always great to know there are Data Structures for solving most problems efficiently.

I never said it was a good way of storing passwords. It reduces entropy. I'm just saying there is way to both have hashed password storage as well as "asking for 3 random letters of you password at login".

They could be extracting the 1st, 6th and 7th characters, concat them and storing the hash (+salt) of the resulting string. That way they can check equality without storing the plaintext password.

You could extend this by storing the hash of all 3-letter combinations of the password on entry. Then ask for a random combination of 3-letters.

The petition was brought forth by an RTI (Right to Information) "Activist" and Web Dev who works on security for private companies. It has nothing to do with the government.

Regardless of the content the design of that website is pretty great. The pages load almost instantly! Can anyone with more front-end knowledge tell me what's going on under the hood?

Umm, is there something wrong with your keyboard?
