Security breaches and data leaks are, obviously, a major concern, but they do have something of a silver lining. Leaks of passwords may open up the risk of individual accounts being targeted, but they also serve as a fascinating insight into the level of security people use for online services. And a lot of very familiar, very depressing items

Hey, good one. I'll try that one too. Easy to memorize and that ought to be totally unhackable. No one would think of that encryption routine. Very strong.

My favorite password that beats most security requirements is: asdf123$
The best thing about it is that I can do it with just one hand.

Begs the question, what are you doing with your other hand?

Holding my mouse, of course

No sir, it's a technique to decrease steps of entering a password. By not having to lift my right hand off of the mouse while I reset someone's domain password, I reduce steps and get back to real work. That is much easier and efficient than doing the typical P@$$w0rd.

Where can I download that list to check if one of my passwords is on it?

We see this list every year but where does it come from? Who is keeping these un-hashed passwords and then revealing them to the public? Isn't that even less secure than a pathetic password?

It's the collective result of every breach of passwords that are either unhashed or so badly hashed (eg unsalted MD5) that they're brute forced in the last year.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

More companies than you can guess.
..and it is weird that they are not responsible for any damage caused by their (non required) leaking of passwords. So no, not going to change quickly, since no company will change their codebase if there's no good reason to.

Nim compiles and runs fast, delivers tiny executables on several platforms, and borrows great ideas from numerous other languages So... there's nothing in it?

I'm happy they took the indentation-as-scope from Python - it exempts me from even look at it...

Concern is rising regarding the challenge of creating robust software that runs infrastructure and the fast-moving development cycles need languages that complement them.

So the developer's of Nim travelled forward in time from 2008 to borrow ideas from Rust and Go?

Researchers have designed a lithium-ion battery that contains a fire-extinguishing material, which is released if the battery gets too hot. Good news for Samsung

Next, we'll find out that the material is toxic.

I sat down with Scott Hunter (Director of Program Management for the .NET Platform) on the Eat Sleep Code podcast to talk about all things .NET. Scott shared plans for an exciting year of .NET development including the .NET Core 2 Wave, which includes the .NET Core 2.0 release along with .NET Standard 2.0, adoption strategies, and Visual Studio 2017 tooling. "You'll think I'm dead, but I sail away on a wave of mutilation"

Quote from the article:
Scott Hunter said: Most folks that jump on .NET Core or ASP.NET Core today are primarily doing it because they have a business reason.
What other reasons might there be?
