Yeah it doesn't really increase the bruteforce attack surface (unless they have a filter that renders passwords entirely case insensitive) so for facebook it's probably a smart idea.

Apparently none of the Canadian banks support 2FA. Do you trust your bank's mobile app? My bank is TD Canada Trust and they keep pestering me to install and use their mobile app. I have absolutely nothing money related on the phone (no google pay methods, nothing) since I really don't trust Android as a platform. But I do have 2 2FA applications that I use for other services. So I guess, I do trust the platform somewhat for some things. The bank though, they keep on bragging on how secure they are . Are they? Are they just blowing their own horn? Do people use the mobile app and are safe?

When I first started using it, I had to change my password to one that didn't have special characters so I could sign into the app, but I think they fixed the issue years ago. I never changed my password since then. Perhaps I should in light of what I just learned.

Password managers don't protect from every conceivable threat vector. Hell, law enforcement could subpoena your data straight from the service provider instead of getting your password to log in. But it's a pretty easy to use thing and it helps you stay safe from many of the most common ways of getting owned online. I had gotten a bit slack with my password habits and typically reused a variation on a word + the site name. After seeing some password cracking and the lists that circulate online, I realized it was a good idea to change habits before they got around to my habit. With billions of dollars up for grabs by stealing bitcoin, people have gotten really clever about cracking passwords. They don't just blindly brute force, but catalogue typical password habits learned from leaked databases and write tons and tons of creative password pattern generators which they then pour over uncracked hashes on ludicrous cracking rigs. You can run machine learning on aggregated leaks to generate patterns too. Hashtag favorite football team birth year exclamation mark, you might be in trouble. With 2FA, you could just store your password as your Facebook profile name and nobody would be able to log in, in theory. But you never know what the next big bad thing is. Maybe there is some really bad leak or some vulnerability that'll bypass Gmail 2FA, maybe something the government has demanded and some criminals have found out. And I've reused my Gmail password with a popular variation pattern on popularsite.com, who stored their passwords in cleartext, which some script kiddie sold to a Russian guy for $5, which ended up included in a big Gmail attack. So given how easy it is to use both a password manager and 2FA, belts and suspenders for me please.

Computer passwords were made for securing a single non networked machine in a lab where everyone knew each other. Also the legal system has no right to treat memory as identity.

I discovered an old table at work called Data. I was ready to be grumpy, but it's actually a great table name! It doesn't need a more specific name, because it stores all kinds of data - you just set the right name in the data name column and then you put whatever's appropriate in the data value column. It's perfect! I kid, of course. It's bad, but it's legacy. We know it's bad! But it's old, and you gotta be slow and methodical about ripping that stuff out. We are phasing it out, though. With DataNew.

Who needs named tables. Hell, let's get rid of tables altogether and just have one table with one row and one column that's all you data in one big json object. Much simpler, and you don't have to worry about converting for the front end. E: No need to differentiate updates types in your events either. Just let clients know the model is dirty and they can download the whole blob again. Joda fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Aug 11, 2019 |

not sure why you can't just use csv files for everything well not actual csv, you of course want to homegrow that stuff with your own custom-made file headers and use multiple types of separators to signify different things

i think of it as like "get an employee from the big ol' list of employees" or whatever, but singular vs plural table names is as old a debate as tabs vs spaces*, and as likely to be resolved by a debate on an internet funny forum * do NOT start this one again
