I, for one, trust ssh more than any other software wrt security, especially with password login disabled. Disclaimer: I am not a security expert.

The number I have seen quoted is that a train can move 1 ton 400 miles using 1 gallon of diesel.

Why do you say copper wire is useles?

I wonder if this is a good way to create passphrases. Anybody want to chime in?

Not the original commenter. But yes to both.

Look up multi-round games. Strategies fit for single-round games don't work in multi-round ones. Many of our strategies and heuristics are meant for multiround games, which is what most life interactions are.

By overanalyzing the experiment and treating it "just" as a experiment, imho, you are actually defeating the point of the experiment. ymmv, just my 2 cents and other disclaimers.

But why pixels (px) and not points (pt)?

I made a site using 12pt text and it looks good everywhere (ipad, iphone, chromebook, linux, windows, mac).

I suspect 16px is going to look too small on a Retina Macbook (I don't own one, so I wouldn't know).

Good point. This could happen. I'm assuming by "burned" you mean "unable to login". If so, you can always type in your home country's domain into the webapp version and get the correct hashed password. I agree this isn't ideal. Just saying that there's a plan B.

Agreed. But OTOH it's a very lightweight solution, which is an advantage. And in any case, it's MUCH better than using the same unhashed password everywhere.

I'm claiming that using PwdHash is strictly better than not using it. YMMV.

Also, this is yet another privacy threat that I dodged because I use the PwdHash extension (https://www.pwdhash.com/). You type the same password for all sites, but the extension invisibly uniquifies them on a per-site basis.

Looking into how it behaves there.

IIRC, sudo logs all commands to syslog. Which might come in handy. Yes, root commands will be logged by bash to .bash_history, but there are limits of # of commands lots, what happens if you are logged in multiple times into same account etc.

Anyway, that's why I like sudo.

When I hit the first infinite loop bug on a code path, I frequently add code to assert that the number of calls is less than $A_LARGE_NUMBER to catch future occurrences of the same root cause.

I liberally sprinkle my code with assertions (CS theory calls them pre-conditions and post-conditions, iirc) to crash early if the system is an invalid state.

One my pet peeves is that few programmers seem to love assertions like I do. Would love to see to comments on this.

When I was newbie, I didn't downshift and was instead keeping the brakes lightly pressed. After a few mins of this, when I pressed them a little harder to slow down more (at a turn), the pedals sickeningly went way more than they were supposed to. Remembered in a flash what had happend. Thankfully, I was able to pull over and let the brakes cool a bit.

The brake fluid had overheated and turned into a compressible liquid (if you remember your Pascal's Law (iirc), hydraulics can only work if the fluid is nearly incompressible).

I understand why: it's most efficient to drive in the highest gear even at speeds as low as 45 mph in a manual. I would imagine it's similar for automatics too.

This is just an easier method if all you want is access to a powerful Debian userland: it turns out that Debian already solved the problem of creating a self-consistent cross-compiled directory tree ages ago so it makes sense to reuse that solution here.

I wonder if this is legal because of the net neutrality ruling on mobile networks that the FCC put out a couple of years ago.

Actually, the difficulty varies from year to year and from company to company and from subfield to subfield. So yes, people do suffer from the status quo.

Just throwing this info here in the interest of completeness.

After you leave school, the need to be not-mediocre will become less acute, because life is less competitive than we're led to believe in school.

Basically, as you grow older, you'll stop competing and start living.

Not really sure if this helps. Good luck!
