Suddenly all the smart comments feel a lot less fun

Allow? They just released a feature that lets you drag and drop images into comments — it automatically uploads to s3 and inserts the URL in your comment. For some reason, they encourage it.
I assumed that was because of changes in Skitch. Everyone I know used to take screenshots with Skitch, upload them and Skitch would copy the URL into your clipboard and you could post into Github. But since Evernote bought them they closed things down and they're basically useless now, so I figured that was why Github was motivated to add this feature.
For anybody too lazy to read through them all, here are some gems: + Are you sure, like, really really sure, you want JavaScript 1.2? +var speed=1 please run jslint on your code before submitting a pull request There are so many errors that JSLint gives up on this code at 39%. +temp=document.body.scrollTop You really shouldn't declare a variable without using var - can lead to all sorts of scoping problems. Oh, good…

> A password of "p*l12nJ9£l ~98as2389bvkqsopfq£3oef2[olpe]wog!wei^og(8ni" would take an unrealistic amount of time to brute force, even if unsalted, and it's beyond the scope of any precomputed rainbow tables for similar reasons. Since rainbow tables look up a password via its hashed value, I believe you could find something else that has a hash collision -- for all we know, it has the same hash as 'ponies'.
Sure, but a hash collision for a specified value is still a needle in a haystack. The sheer size of the keyspace (2^128) means that rainbow tables can only ever exist for a subset of the keyspace. 1M machines running for a year each capable of doing 20M MD5 hashes a second will still only cover 1/539514153540300709th of the MD5 keyspace. But, yes, salting would prevent the use of rainbow tables completely.

Hilarious. But if I ever need a jury of my peers to audit my coding style to see how good it is, now I know what to do - a pretend-attempted-defacement is bound to be more effective than finding some place on the net to ask 'Is this proper idiomatic javascript?'.

Re: Skitch, there is a nice app I switched to lately: http://monosnap.com/

I can't understand how did someone capable of understanding and doing a git pull request can produce this kind of "code". Or how did he think that he can pull this thing off? is there a "10 ways to hack a website" where a git pull is one of them? The fact that there is a code snipped a tutorial on "How to Create a Website With Notepad" and the whole thing seems like it came out from an old WYSIWYG editor, the thing o…

It's equivalent to knocking on someone's door and asking them if you can graffiti their house wall, egg their car, and toilet paper their front yard tree. All while having the graffiti, egg, and toilet paper in your hands in front of their face.
The comments are even better, and so to extend this analogy: After you ask them, they then criticize your choice of spraypaint ("Krylon? Really? Not using Rustoleum, even though this is clearly for outside application?"), testing that your egg is actually of proper dimension and size, and then sighing in annoyance upon finding out that your toilet paper isn't quilted.
