Kind of a fond/humanised name for chat gpt me and some colleagues use. We've dubbed it our idiot friend, 'Gippers'. Its commonly wrong and there's a group of colleagues who trusts it and a group who doesn't. I think we anthropomorphised the machine a little, and also its maybe a little cringey.
Depending on definitions, I'm either a millennial or gen-z. Some of my team mates are awesome and know everything there is to know about computers. Others have knowledge gaps that make me question whether they went to uni. They're also the same people who commonly don't know how to find answers to things. They're also the people proclaiming the loudest about the greatness of Gippers
Its for the tutorial I think, you can hear the voice if you go to the steam store page for it, just watch the first trailer in the queue. If you cant be bothered, its a male british robotic voice with a helpful tone.
So ultimately hashing an email address could be a good thing, but its a matter of half measures. Sure, you can perform a basic hash before putting it in the database, but if we assume hashing is performed to prevent it being read by an attacker, why bother unless youre doing it properly?
Passwords, being more sensitive, should only be compared once finished being entered, so you can afford to run all the hashing, salting etc that is a requirement to keep the passwords safe.
If you were going to hash the email to the same standard, it becomes harder to retrieve and display, so when the user wants to look at their profile in the ui, you have to run an intense cryptographic algorithm just to display the email. Or if you want to contact the customer, or any other use for their email. Hence, people dont bother.
I play PlateUp with a friend, we started on remote play while I wasnt sure if I liked the game. It had issues where if the window lost focus, I'd crash and the entire game session was lost. Anyway, I bought the game and have never had any issues since. Its super fun!
Highly recommend this wargame challenge from over the wire. It makes you think and also feels like hacking. Youre just using linux commands to find passwords but the skills transfer to heaps of usage across systems. It can be a little beginner-ish though.
Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn't expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.
Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn't be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.
Yeah he either doesn't understand the process and hasnt decided to work out what's happening, or he's intentionally deceptive. Either way, I think it's very stereotypical American thinking to presume everything is binary and no nuanced conversations can happen. "You asserted a thing, but didn't specify x while doing so, therefore you're against x". It's letting perfect be the enemy of good.
Another thing is that law can and should be left open to interpretation in many cases. That's not always the best thing, see financial law etc, but you can't set up a framework for every scenario. However, you can define a list of obvious things and if someone does something against the spirit of the law, it can be amended and/or someone can prosecute to further define. Laws can be changed and judges make rulings that set precedent.
Idk, I'm coming into this late but it's arguing in bad faith so im frustrated.
Yeah, at my work we have a legal department who does all the lawyer writing, but as a cyber analyst I have to do analyst writing. We don't conflate the two, I never write legal stuff and would never try. They don't pretend to understand technical stuff and wouldn't bother trying. No random youtuber would be capable of writing law, except maybe legal eagle?
I had a think about some of the 'licensed content has to go away after x years' which he talked about with the cars in the Crew. Before live service was possible, there were similar deals to put content in games. Think GTA etc. What licensing model was used there and why can't it be used today. His arguments assume you know nothing about the industry and take things at face value. They also assume that it's a binary situation. Not a fan of that kind of thinking personally.
From watching the first 5 minutes of the first video: Thor is saying game developers can't be forced to share their server code with gamers, even though Valve does it. Terrible argument. It's a solved problem, also it has to be distributable so they can manage servers across the planet.
Edit 2: "We might miss out on some cool games that we won't be otherwise able to have if live service is a removed practice" is a legitimate argument. Can games be reengineered so that this isn't the case? Should developers be forced into making it that way? I might watch some criticism videos after work. I think there's points on both sides but it seems really easy to clarify what Thor wants clarified. Personally I don't think what's on the SDK website would be what gets put into legislation but if he really wants it clarified that's easy.
Can the propaganda have more pixels next time please and thank you, how am I meant to understand the wishes of glorious leader if I can't even make out the words?
Thanks for sharing. Super interesting read
