What exactly did you learn? If it’s that there are a number of different types of stem cells, then we really need to improve scientific communication to the average person. I learned this kind of thing because I’m interested, but I thought this was being taught to kids since they were an active area of research (something like 15-20 years?).

Well, “nuclear” has come to mean “fission,” because that’s how it’s used in every nuclear energy system today. “Fusion” isn’t something that exists in a meaningful way outside of science labs.

So I think that association is fair. If you mean “fusion,” you should say “nuclear fusion.”

Yup, 2 + 2 = 5, I love big brother.

BTW, reading Julia right now, which is the same setting, but with more graphic language and a dose of feminism. Will probably follow up with a re-read of 1984, it’s been a few years.

So, the first few minutes of any politician opening their mouth?

LibreOffice Online does. It’s not built around it, but Collabora’s work has added some level of collaboration to it.

That said, if collab features are your top priority, then OnlyOffice may be the better option, since it was built web-first. I don’t know what OpenOffice offers here though.

LibreOffice can also be self-hosted as a web service.

Yup, nothin’ like a little buckshot in the mornin’.

That’s fair, not sure why they’d go through that much effort when DOM attributes exist.

Can confirm, my firstborn was almost taken away by them. Good thing I brought my shotgun.

I do 256 so I hopefully never need to update it, but most of my passwords are 20-30 characters or something, and generated by my password manager. I don’t care if you choose to write a poem or enter a ton of unicode, I just need a bunch of bytes to hash.

But it really doesn’t, unless you’re sending megabytes of text or something. Industry standard password algorithms run the hash a lot of times, and your entry will only impact the first iteration.

I usually set mine to 256 characters to prevent DOS attacks, and also so I don’t need to update it ever. Most of my passwords are actually around 20-30 characters in length (I pick a random length in the slider on my password manager), because I don’t want to be there all day if I ever need to manually enter it (looking at you stupid smart TV…).

I usually do 256 characters. That’s long enough that most password managers top out anyway (mine tops out at 128), and it shouldn’t ever present a DOS risk. Anything much beyond that and you’ll go beyond the hash length.

Eh, I think they should nag users to change their password proportional to how “strong” their password is. If you’re barely meeting the minimum: reset every few months. If you’re using a proper passphrase dozens of characters long: only reset if there’s evidence of compromise.

A couple years ago I ran into one with a 12 character limit…

I never understood password limits, other than something sufficiently large like 256 to prevent DOS. It’s not like the password is actually being stored anywhere… right? RIGHT??

Or just delete the “readonly” bit. I did that on Treasury Direct for years until they finally removed that nonsense.

Idk, it might delay the sun imploding a smidge. Or maybe it would accelerate it. Eh, they know what they’re doing…

Exactly.

My host decided to update their TOS to force me to accept binding arbitration, so I Inspect Elemented that right off the page and sent a message to support to end my service effective immediately (had been a paying customer for years). You’re not going to bully me on my own browser…

Yup. All I care is that your password isn’t the entire works of Shakespeare or something like that. A couple hundred characters/bytes? You do you.

What really bothers me is when a website says something like: must have a special character, except these ones (proceeds to list everything except @ and !). And then the next one has the same rule, but different exceptions.

Passwords should be treated as a black box, just read it as bytes and throw it into the hash algorithm. You want to somehow enter a nyan cat? Be my guest, no guarantee the input box will accept it though.

Really? I can eat a whole Costco pizza, and I have a normal BMI. I’m male and tall, so that helps.

A whole pepperoni from Costco is a bit under 4000 calories, which isn’t quite 2x my daily recommended intake (something like 3000 calories). So I can do it, I’ll just be a bit full and that’s all I should be eating that day.

Regular large pizzas are a lot smaller than Costco pizzas. A large from Domino’s is apparently ~2200, so two large Dominos pizzas are comparable to one Costco pizza (a little more, but not a ton more).

So I could do it if I was really hungry, but I usually only eat about 3-4 Costco slices (around 1000-1250 calories).

Then maybe you should lay off the pizza. :)
