I'm not arguing the complexity of hacking a password, I'm familiar. So instead of responding with rainbow tables or how knowing the schema informs you the location of salts for the…

I don't want to take away any steam from your sails but giving bad information in regards to case law shouldn't be taken lightly. Your "expert witness" did you a disservice. Schema…

This is just one big article on survivor bias. I get what they are saying: There is a difference between theoretical and applied. I think the OWASP/NIST/InfoSec has always been a b…

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand kudos to them for the self-reflection, facing hard truths, and building a really wide set of tools. But when you look under the hood…

I'll be blunt, a lot of what you explained went over my head. I saw some charts that expressed 1hz in the A4 range a bit higher but essentially what you explained. The lower in the…

Now that you are caught up with the rest of us, read my response. Am I saying I don't understand or am I saying I understand but the response is too nitpicky for me and what I feel…

Tell me you don't understand how the ear perceives music without telling me you don't understand. Don't be pretentious man, we are tuning guitars and violins not prepping the kids …

At least I know there's one person that gets it. I've never ran into such brigading on HN before. I really thought I said something non-confrontational at first. Wait till they get…

The way the article read it seemed as they though they had many domains and customers could bring theirs into that ecosystem. If the customer left it behind they could send it to t…

I'm not saying I didn't appreciate it. It just read like a story of their journey and reflection. I think "My journey of learning perfect pitch over 15 years" is more apt Learn per…

You clearly do not understand. They buy 900 domains. They hold 900 domains. Anyone who wants that domain cannot use it but must rent through them (whom they rent through someone el…

Domain registrar's don't prey on you. You own the domain. You can take it and they can't withhold it. The registrar is already doing what this site is doing. I don't have a problem…

Owning 900 domains hoping for them to be rented is "rent-seeking" A simple test: Would all of FolioHD's domains being rented benefit their business or not? They are subsidizing the…

If you want to be an artist then control of your intellectual property is probably a topic you care a great deal about. Your domain and how people reach you is probably the first l…

Imagine having 900 houses and renting them out to a community of like minded folks. Whether it is at cost or slightly above, it is "rent seeking" in the sense they own, you borrow.…

I feel like this article is more of a "Here's all the things I think about perfect pitch and my journey with music" Maybe I took the title too literally. As someone who wants to ga…

Monolith vs Microservice argument all over again. Tradeoffs for mono are drivers of micro and vice versa. Looking at the GitHub insights it becomes pretty clear there are about two…

I think this has more to do with testing, maintenance, and how it simplifies portability/flexibility. There is a point where software diving down meets the hardware coming up. When…

I know personally Fowlers articles, some of the folks we hired who were former Thought work-ers, and my experience running through agile, SAFE, classic project management, and XP; …

https://exercism.org Testing Specifically: https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/python/tests I really enjoyed working with my engineers on this site. A lot has changed since I used it …

Head First Design Patterns. It's a recent and very friendly introduction to the popular Gang of 4 - Object Oriented Programming book. I love this part of the journey for folks beca…

Couldn't have said it better. I have loved each one of those tools too. Docker maybe a little more love-hate but I think that has a lot more to do with the politics and salesy side…

Absolutely. If you told me: "This pipeline will automatically perform all of your [insert line of business] testing, batteries included. XYZ has signed off that if you get to the e…
