Aren't video games really expensive there for no reason?

Well, some websites I use are annoying and log me out fairly frequently, or maybe I'm just not checking the "keep me logged in" or something. But doing that every day is a huge pain.

The way I do it is going to be insecure the moment I lose one password, but it is easier for me to remember than these things. I have a phrase that is at least 8 characters long and then I add something specific for the service. The initial phrase includes a number and capital, for example "ExampleP1ss" and I really should have a symbol somewhere in it except I haven't signed up for anything that requires a symbol. Examples of things specific to this would be "hacknews", "hackernews", "hackerNews", "ycominator", "hackercombinator", ... How (in)secure is this?

I also have it written down because I figure if someone has access to my personal computer physically, and they want my passwords they can probably install some keylogger or something else I don't understand, and this way I'll never forget my password. I also have a list of services that I am signed up for so I don't forget to change my reddit password because I haven't used reddit in the last three weeks after something like heartbleed happens. What I will not do is store my passwords in my browser, that seems like an awful idea. Especially because some things automatically sync across browsers.

That is more of an affect from personality on faces.

Reminds me of when everyone would ask me if I was ok, I think my neutral face looks sad for some reason.

By ridiculous, I mean "steve the armadillo" just got elected. Or something of that sort.

They should also thank the researchers for not making 66,000 votes count towards something ridiculous, because unless I thought they would freak out about my way of proving a point, I would probably have did that when I told them how to secure their thing.

A generation of bacteria is way shorter lived than a generation of garlic. It would depend on how much the garlic was used though I'm pretty sure, though you might need to talk to an actual biologist for details.

Also, unless garlic defended itself from MRSA by killing it human guided selection would be better, what if the garlic is sneaky and figures out another way to survive that doesn't help humans.

They could adapt because humans only grow the ones that are the better of the batch at doing what we want them to do. I can't see it working as fast as bacteria, but it could be another option.

Thanks.

What is GFW?

two factor authentication: Things like this are probably the best argument for why I should get a phone, thought I still wouldn't have much use for it.

Also, it seems safer to write down your passwords. I mean, someone might physically take it, but that seems less likely than someone digitally taking it.

Well, ya, it isn't really volunteering. And there are so few places I know to work that I really don't get to pick where I work, it is just whatever one I find I do.

Maybe. I lost my signed sheet. So I have to do like 20 hours again. You wouldn't happen to know a good place to find things to volunteer for in general?

Having done a small amount of required volunteering for school I would disagree. Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, and it was mostly my classmates volunteering with me who are also required to volunteer for so many hours.

Can I have a link to where you tried it?

"BBC Lab UK tests are now closed"

That is lame. I wanted to see how they got these values.

My school counselor send scholarships in those.

The last I heard "gamification" was simply adding achievements onto things, such as getting work done, which I agree is awful.

This doesn't sound like that though.

As a male youth with very little experience with people in general, I hate people who make me look bad.

Now that Ip Man is a popular movie (?) is "punch like a girl" still an insult?

I don't know about 20 years ago, but I think now there are pretty even numbers of girls who play games as boys who play games in my experience. I don't know how accurate that is for everywhere, but it doesn't appear to affect interest in programming. Of course, the boys aren't interested either, I think I'm the only one.

GPS could still be used for that, but what is wrong with opening the doors in the tunnel not at a station? I would think that would be helpful in the case of emergencies where people need to get off the train between stations. If a driver accidentally pressed the wrong button they might want to check to make sure no one is outside the train when they drive off, but I would think that wouldn't happen to much.

The article wouldn't load for me, but did it say anything about why they don't just require the train to be stopped for the doors to open?

Man, this makes me wish even more than I usually do that independent study for programming was a class that actually existed.

I have no experience in this, but I don't feel like anything from the article is "abrasive", or even really anything from the previous poster you replied to.

Sidenote: The word "hacker" doesn't seem to mean anything anymore, it has been used in so many different ways that it has become too ambiguous. I personally like the phrase "weird nerd" better, because it might be a little more specific, and it is how I feel. (Probably doesn't help that I don't have the skills that seem to go along with "weird nerds"/"hackers".)

It seems weird that people (or maybe media) act like they want honesty, but if someone were to say "I messed up that time" that seems like a pretty big headline.

"<horrible person> admits to <mistake>"

Upon reading what impostor syndrome is, I had the weirdest feeling.

I don't have this problem with your advice specifically, but with this type of advice on the internet in general. Everyone tells people what they should do, but there is no how they should do it. (I've had the same problem with the limited books I've read, and haven't gotten much advice from people.)

Time to complain about my school. Our "computer" classes consisted of learning to: type, format word, type in a spreadsheet, format powerpoint (in a way that I think powerpoint is unnecessary for), one week total of messing around in garage band, one week of typing out the exact lines of html, copying instructions for dreamweaver.

EDIT: And then we do 'job' stuff in that class. Including making resumes that include our ability to use basic microsoft/adobe programs. I could have learned to do that without a manual or internet before the class. I can learn way more with internet just messing around in photoshop/gimp every once in a while.

In my personal opinion everyone should learn the basics of programming for the same reason everyone claims that everyone needs four years of English classes and science classes and history classes, because it helps you look at the world in a different way. In addition, I personally have found that if I try to make a program to do math for me, I understand the math way better.

So thank you for teaching some people, because learning is fairly hard, though if you have a good teacher it doesn't seem like it would be as hard to me.

What is Spectrums though?

For some reason, when I search "mount and blade"; dracula.txt and equator.txt show up. For some reason processing comes with several books from project gutenberg by default, and they show up when I look up some programs.
