If you pick 4 random words, the attacker would still need to brute force through (hundreds of?) billions of word combinations. That’s the point.

but iirc the bottom half has been sort-of half debunked

Any source for this? It’s literally just random words. Just pick from a large enough list and you’re good.

The new BMI, which is more accurate for very tall and very short people, gives you 28 instead of 30.6. Which is overweight and not obese. https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi_calc.html

I truly do not understand this… it’s a niche QA forum

What’s their motivation to do this?

I have it installed on a few of my machines but don’t really find it that useful. But then again that’s specific to my needs and usecases.

Potentially unpopular opinion: a bunch of rust replacements for the common terminal utilities: eza, bat, dust, fd, helix. Also fish and nushell, yt-dlp, and some of my favorite programming languages.

Do you still have native-level pronunciation and grammar skills in Cantonese? Forgetting words is one thing, that happens, and words can be relearned. I’ve lived abroad for 5 years now in my 20s, and even I’ve lost some vocabulary in my native language.

If you no longer know the grammar or the pronunciation well, then it’s a more legitimate question if it is your native language anymore.

Either way, you are some sort of bilingual. In fact, some people grow up like that where I come from: with two native languages, one of which is oftentimes stronger / more eloquent due to education, social life, etc.

This made me look up “whole word reading”, and it just made me irrationally angry. To be fair, English isn’t my native language and I don’t have a recollection of learning how to read, but “whole word learning” sounds insane. But like… Why would you do that if you are using an alphabet?

What the hell

Yes but this clearly wasn’t about that. If it had been he’d just screenshotted that part and focused on that. But he’s a weirdo so he screenshotted 5 years of content, anything that could remotely offend anybody, to make the maximum amount people mad.

How do you know that?

Humans in general are very hesitant to admit that they were wrong. Cult members doubly so.

It’s kind of a fashion trend, and internet porn made such a fashion trend possible by making it visible to more people. At least if you look at it that way, stark differences in behavior and opinion between generations seem completely normal.

That’s called being straight
