Why does it all have to be equal? Why can't we acknowledge that men and women have different strengths and weaknesses in different areas? The whole point of diversity is not to make everyone the same, it is to appreciate the differences everyone brings.

Lol denying reality to support your fantasy is pretty lame too

Women don't go into tech because they don't like it. Boys like legos, girls like dolls. Sure there are occasional tomboys but the fact is most girls just don't like engineering.

How can you even say that? They were peacefully living when the insane Japanese killed thousands of Americans, and were preparing to invade the USA? It was fight or be killed. So if you are defending you homeland, defending yourself from murder, your wives from rape, you are somehow no longer innocent?

Your like the witch hunters. If you float your guilty so kill them. If you drown your innocent but dead.

Ok so you literally think that it's better to have 500k Americans killed than 250k Japanese, when the Japanese attacked us. And you consider defending yourself terrori sm???

How are the Japanese civilians any more innocent than the Americans? Can you answer this?? No you can't. You are just confused and have no comprehension of how evil Pearl Harbor and the Japanese rulers were. You have obviously never heard of the Bataan death march.

I literally think you are a horrible human being. You would rather sacrifice more of your own countrymen to save the wives and children of the attakcers. You are a straight up evil human being. There are no other words to describe it.

Thank you for proving to me beyond a doubt that liberals hate this country and would gladly see it burn.

Another way to think about it is this. How many American soldiers would be killed in the invasion? The American soldiers who would invade are every bit as innocent as the women and children killed in the A-bomb attacks. Estimates are that Around 500,000 American soldiers would be killed or seriously wounded in an invasion. Every American soldier was an innocent man, defending his country from the Japanese who brutally attacked st Pearl Harbor. Do the lives of these innocent men not matter to you? This perfectly demonstrates what's so screwed up about liberals in America. They would literally rather send many more of their own countrymen to get their arms and legs blown off and killed, rather than kill the enemy. It's sickening, awful and evil how they would gladly sacrifice more of their own innocent fellow Americans to save the wives and children of attackers. Send 500k Americans to get murdered by the japanese, plus their dead, or kill 250k with the a bomb.

The choice is clear once you have the facts. Of course maybe you don't think it matters if American soldiers die. Maybe you think it's better that they die than the enemy. Try telling that to the wife of a soldier lost in battle. Try explaining that to a kid who wonders where his dad is. "The Japanese who attacked us at Pearl Harbor and want to kill us are more important to keep alive than your daddy".

You see think pictures of the a bomb with horror. And rightly so. But you forget the horrors of Okinawa. The terror of Kamikaze pilots literally suicide bombing the Americans.

The a bomb was not only better from a military and casualty standpoint, it was better for Japan in the long run. It completely broke the back of their military empire in a way that not even an invasion could. It was complete and utter defeat that crushed their delusions that they would gain greatness through military strength. That enabled them to move on and rebuild focusing on the right thing, economic power

Something you think could make a million bucks. That will give you motivation to finish!

If you don't understand CPU cycles, your application might get a teeny bit slower. If you don't understand security, your application could get hacked! It's definitely nice to have a good auth framework, but I think security is important enough that it's worth taking 1 hour to learn how to do it right.

Honestly, I don't think there is a real shortcut for in depth knowledge of how secure authentication should work. I think if your going to be writing a program with authentication, you need to know what is going on, what the framework is doing under the hood. If you don't, you are likely to misconfigure it or trust it to do something it doesn't do.

Writing a secure auth isn't exactly hard, and there is good info on the web about it. It just requires time to implement and not taking shortcuts to do it right.

In node there are not really official solutions - it's just packages. Php has a nice password_hash function which hashes and salts your password for you securely.

the guy said that the differences don't matter. I was asking him to back that assertion up.
