I found it's useful for code where I know like 70% of what I'm doing. More than that and I can just do it myself. Less than that and I can't trust and diagnose the output.
I'd rather have old fashioned stack overflow and tutorials, honestly. It's hard to actually learn when it just gives answers.
Not included in this answer and I'm not fully qualified to talk about: salting.
If you knew the hashing algorithm, you could precompute hashes of all the common passwords. Then when you get steal the hashed password data, it's a lot faster to check if any of them are in your list. You can likely find that kind of list online to download.
One defense against this is "salting". The site adds some text to your password before hashing it. So if your password is extremely common, like "password1!", with the added salt the hash on this site will be different. Like maybe it adds the user's uuid, so what gets hashed is "password1!-abcd-123-pretend-this-is-a-uuid". The user doesn't need to know.
Another benefit is that now two passwords that both are "password1!" have different hashes.
I'm not an expert by any means so please someone correct me if anything was wrong there.
Most of the code at my current job doesn't even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What's config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.
Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren't interested in changing anything.
Get a code formatter. Ruff is popular. So is black. Never think about it again.
I'm pretty sure Jane Jacobs wrote about this in the 1960s.
Somehow people refuse to accept this.
I don't have the means or motivation to do research now from the couch, so I'll concede you may be correct. However, I think it might be even safer to take those same billions of dollars and invest them in mass transit and other infrastructure changes. That would mean fewer car accidents, less pollution, nicer spaces, healthier people, healthier economies, etc. private car ownership cannot be the long term solution. If it's not an outright dead end, it's certainly a side street instead of high speed rail (if you'll pardon a strained metaphor).
Self driving cars are a great idea, but they aren’t a fix everything solution, they just one part of an overall solution.
Why are they a great idea? What are they making better? How is it worth the real and opportunity costs?
Some men will simply not vote for a woman, it’s sad, but it’s reality.
Can we all agree that those men are trash? I don't care what else they've got going on, if they refuse to vote for a woman because she's a woman, they deserve to go into the dumpster.
I'm so sick of all these sacks of shit making the world worse
Self driving cars have always been a stupid solution to the wrong problem.
We shouldn't be investing billions in them. We should be investing billions in creating livable spaces that don't need cars so much. Then people will be happier and there will be less pollution.
But I guess that's not profitable so I guess we'll just do idiotic garbage that gets people killed.
Tech giants have so much power in part because most people are kind of stupid and don't want to think too hard.
"Don't use that platform. It's owned by a Nazi and pushing right wing lies" -> "uhh but it has memes lol"
Idiots complaining about how star trek is "political now" are speaking nonsense but they're still speaking. It's important to counter this because idiots, gullible folks, and people not paying attention, will be sucked in by the nonsense if it's unopposed
You have to be careful at low skill/knowledge levels, because it'll happily send you down a crazy path that looks legitimate.
I asked it how to do something in oracle SQL, because I don't know oracle specifically, and it gave me a terrible answer. I suspected it wasn't right so I asked a coworker who's an old hand at Oracle, and he was like "no that's terrible. Here's a much simpler way"
