Are you aware of the pitfall I've mentioned here?: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17323068 Just making the possible passwords be 10 chars and contain chars out of a set of 62 (lowercase + uppercase + digits) give

Due to the fact how little 500 million passwords is out of the entire set of all possible passwords (even with single digit length) the 1 in 1000 false positive rate is extremely high actually. See my other comment: https://news.

Does 1 in 1000 false positive mean that 1 in every 1000 passwords not on the list returns a true? If so, that's not good because good passwords vastly outnumber the bad ones so even a small false positive rate makes a positive very v

These are not any rules. This haveibeenpwned list was made of password lists that were already leaked in hacks before and its author criticizes the 'now add a number', 'now add a symbol', 'now add a capital' ru

The segmenting backfires hilariously between countries. I've often seen shows go "It was Mr. X all along!", everyone looked at the person who said that in shock and awe and realization, there was a sound cue, screen faded to

It's quite normal for there to be two sets of rules. Or maybe it's about the image of not being a "weaboo shit store" (as many people consider anything in anime style). Even YouTube that's famous for being trigger h

Valve can state 2 + 2 = 5 tomorrow, that doesn't make it true. They already have geoblocks in place for several reasons ranging from their own whim, to copyright to legal reasons. I can't buy certain animes[0] and I couldn't

There was a case on YouTube where a (sort of) satirical YouTuber Reactor (a fake over the top reaction channel) used a cut up footage of GradeAUnderA hating reaction channels as an ad on GradeAUnderA's own videos to direct people to Re

That's a really nice line of thought. I'm no linux wizard but I've used Fedora for a few years for my laptop so if you want to ever ask about something basic we can exchange contact info.

Why not? Is Java + Swing very heavy or something? Is NetBeans in Swing or something else? I've used NetBeans for C, C++, PHP and HTML5 on my old Core 2 Duo with 2 Gigs of RAM on Fedora during my uni years and it was fine by me. It lagg

This is false equivalence. The electron app is ostensibly working for your benefit, just in a very inefficient way, not mining a currency using your resources to ship off to someone. You could argue that making users pay for savings in deve

That might backfire on an HDD and it's a very convoluted scenario (loading from disk and decompressing when hogging all of the CPU). Many people even with a quad core i5/i7 might have a small SSD just for Windows and important stu

The website version of the game was 150 KB. You'd be hard pressed to find an engine or runtime (except electron as some people are saying it actually is..) to get a game like that (literally moving boxes and text) up to that size. Even

It would still look quite shady. It's also burning electricity, hogging your CPU and putting heat and stress onto your CPU which is way worse than just displaying an ad which costs literally nothing (or 1 or 2 cents for fetching a sing

I would not. It's not reasonable that a pure data viewer runs something. This is like saying viewing a script in notepad can run it and is expected to infect you. And for better or worse antiviruses use 7z dll to scan archives too.
