I don't disagree with your overall point but in the world of high-end watches Rolex watches _are_ mass produced and leverage economies of scale. I think the latest estimates are ar…

You will be part of the rare minority that uses that configuration which by itself is a fingerprint.

To be more exact, what you want is not a slow password hashing algorithm. What you want is an algorithm that is as efficient for the defender as it is for the attacker. The key is …

It's a nice sentiment but that's how you end up with abandoned, low quality projects that no one uses. Or even worse - abandoned, low quality projects that half the Internet relies…

In my experience a lot of the problems with automatically converting existing Python 2 code to Python 3 code is that the Python 2 code usually makes fundamentally broken assumption…

And if he doesn't understand that concept should he _really_ be teaching anyone programming?
