  • Not that I disagree with the points, but this sure feels cringey.

    Today I saw a group of Trump advocates waving flags and whatnot on a walkway over a highway and as I was about to share 1 of my 10 fingers with them I saw that they had kids there waving some of their Trump flags and paused. It feels uncomfortable seeing little kids engage in passionate advocacy for things they have no real experience with, and this video gives similar vibes.

















  • This is my biggest pet peeve. Password policies are largely mired in inaccurate conventional wisdom, even though we have good guidance docs from NIST on this.

    Frustrating poor policy configs aside, this max length is a huge red flag, basically they are admitting that they store your password in plan text and aren’t hashing like they should be.

    If a company tells you your password has a maximum length, they are untrustable with anything important.
