A couple years ago I was trying to teach myself OpenGL, and I failed miserably for that exact reason, plus bad function naming conventions.

The weirdest thing about OpenGL is that you sometimes have to run one function before another function, for no good reason, but it gives you a giant performance boost.

Another cool thing he mentions is that it does something sort of like React's diffing.

When you tell Glium, "make me these three polygons, add a light source, apply a transform matrix", it optimizes the number of OpenGL calls it needs to do, and the kinds thereof, and puts them in the right order to run most efficiently.

Like React, it optimizes state changes required for speed to get a view from one state to another.

Good grief, this is the first time I've seen Github rate limit anything.

I have literally no idea. I didn't think that a landlord could throw you out if you don't do a task for them.

Consul and Vault go a long way to achieving that.

Don't even store sensitive data in git, it can be a bad idea: http://www.jamiembrown.com/blog/one-in-every-600-websites-ha...

Store credentials in environment variables.

Cool, sort of like clib?

Yes! GOOL/GOAL (see [1]) was a lisp-family language. See [2] for an explanation by the guy who developed it.

What I never get about analog RNGs is, couldn't you send a strong, cyclically repeating RF signal at the RNG, and reduce the entropy (sort of) remotely?

I'm a dev in the US, I really dislike profanity (especially in excess), and in most work settings, it's completely not-OK. I'm not saying it should be "friendly and delicate", just not gratuitously shoving in profanity every other word.

You are exactly correct. The aforementioned thread[0] on Serverfault mentioned timesmearing with `ntpd -x`, as per [1]. It's a fairly well-known technique for avoiding some weird kernel-related bugs on leap seconds.

Those aren't necessarily the people who are building the reviled types of websites.

I agree. It's offensive to the very people who these sites (apparently) want to change, thus they're less likely to change.

I agree with you emphatically, except for one point:

> what could be dangerous about removing an enzyme?

Tons of things - you don't necessarily know that there's not some other cell process that depends on it.

Even though the name is kinda unrelated, I still think it's a cool idea :D

Love the license =D

Even just using {b,s}crypt and a larger salt, even without regenning on every request, would be massively more difficult in terms of memory and CPU to reverse.

Fun hack, but - yet another stupid large bank/corporation, probably underpaying their devs and not reviewing code ever. Any other ideas on why this happens so often?

How bad will this actually be?

I'm going to have so much fun with this (evil grin).

Agreed. It is kinda odd. I don't think that Notepad++ will be doing too well after this. Especially as they already had a blow from the exposure of those in-binary jokes.
