This is absurd and impossible to remember, you should instead have at least 3 levels of password strenght, one high strenght for base services that are used to retrieve other accounts like facebook and e-mail, other for important services, and another for crap.

this one is quite amazing, I expected it to be one of the weakest around today, I certainly would include it in one of my first attempts if I tried to brute force any password.

"Sound cool", do you have a better reason to change the way your colleagues make a living other than it sounds cool?

We tried actually, but the oddest thing happened to us, we could not connect to our database that way. I even created a brand new .net core app and changed to target 4.7 as soon as the change is made we lose connection to database

Excellent point, I have developed in asp.net mvc for quite a while, but I am currently doing a asp.net core project, and it is a nightmare, there is absolutely nothing but the most basic libraries ported to core, even entity framework itself doesn't have lazy loading yet, which is the most basic feature anyone would want from ef. My current dragon to slay is doing things with pdfs and reporting on asp.net core, there is nothing truly open source.

Do you actually ask them to do this on a piece of paper?

because I went through an interview process not too long ago, and they asked me to take a test that was actually very simple stuff, fibonacci sequence, dealing with strings, etc.

And for the life of me I just couldn't do it on paper, if I was still in college I might have done it, but now that I'm a professional developer, I DON'T code on paper anymore, it feels weird and awkward. Maybe do a test, and let a few take the test on the computer, doesn't have to be in an IDE, just let them hack away at notepad, or something.

I know most people believe developers should be those guys that can code their way out of any problem with just matchsticks or something, but really, would you ever encounter a situation where you need a developer to actually write code on paper?

And before anyone says I'm just a bad programmer, I am usually the go to guy at my workplace, the guy that usually solves hard issues, and the more competent I become at actually useful stuff, and actual day to day programming challenges, the more I feel far from things like your test.

Alternatively, you could also use a real world problem, I think there is nothing that can get a guy to prove they are a good developer than making subtle bugs in some code and asking the guy to fix them.

I am not used to travel through air, but "Social Airline Tickets Bidding" got me kind of confused, I only undertood after reading below.

That is, if I understood. From what I gather, I sign up, name a price and a place, and you will Email me with offers that match my destination and price range?

And I can send to my friends through social networks?

Or am I wrong here?

Like I said, I don't travel through air much, and I don't live in the USA, so I wouldn't use a service like that, but that's me.

Also, make sure your link is in your header, it just says "Show HN:"

Well, your link has 17 of these, why not one more?

Plus, this one is for meditation only, and has feedback, I doubt any of those links would give specific advice on meditation like this site does.

For people interested in meditation, I believe this is actually a great app.

Unfortunately, something being illegal doesn't make it stop being shared around the internet, specially photos.

Really sad they are dropping support for IE7

unfortunately I will not be upgrading to this version then.

>And yes, I've seen a non-functional change break working code before.

Really? how? I'm really curious about this.

>and you're in that class for you, not for them.

This! I believe this sums up the way people should behave when in a class.

There should really be some sort of explanation on this. I thought it was broken too.

My uncle hanged himself after years being an alcoholic, the alcohol destroyed his family and pushed him away from everybody. Near the end of it all he was acting delusional, lying to his bar friends about how good his life was, just stright up making stuff up, like having a huge barbecue in his non existant farm, or so I heard through my dad. He killed himself between christmas and new year. His son spent christmas in my house, and I had the idea to go visit him, and days later he killed himself. For the longest time I blamed myself, I kept thoughts like "maybe if I had gone...", I kept believing that maybe the wanting to go see him was God's way to stop the tragedy from happening. I no longer blame myself, though I do wonder if having gone there would have changed anything.

Anyway, powerful blog post

As another Brazilian, I agree 100% with you, I never, ever install anything in portuguese, or read any blog post in portuguese. I always go for english, the ones who do try to avoid it are usually mediocre developers.

Great plugin, I'll be replacing some datepickers in a project I am currently involved with these

>Equality does not mean uniformity.

Thank you, I was trying to come up with that phrase.

Wow, I have been meaning to look what rel means for years and I always forget.

Am i glad I saw this.

There's usually groups who go to the homeless to offer food, medicine and clothing, they probably have the ins and outs of finding the homeless on their city.

I see your point, and I'd like to make a mixed argument. As for the App in itself, it might be a a good idea for more urgent needs of the homeless, I say like if someone is in need of medicine quickly, a charity or organization might be too slow, as in, more Bureaucratic than necessary to help the homeless person, some more urgent needs might be quenched by the community of people who would like to help. However, many years ago, when I was younger and wanted to help, I got involved with a group who would go out at night and give soup to the homeless, I remember my first day, there was some commotion going on with a woman who did not wanted to come and get her soup, from what I've been told she was already a friend of the group, when they went to talk to her, then they found out some teenage kids had come and threw fire on her hair, luckly it did not burn her face, but still, an App like that might cause some serious harm if left on the hands of those who would rather have homeless people disappear.
