@MisterPositive I think you got this question, short and sweet brings it in ey. +1
May 15, 2018 21:01
Stay strong @DarkCygnus :-)
May 15, 2018 20:58
that's a bad feel mister positive, but ey it happens :p
May 15, 2018 20:56
I think I'm going to push for 20k points here in my spare time, I do like the general topics on here.
May 15, 2018 20:56
haha I guess we'll have to see :-)
May 15, 2018 20:53
You seem polite and reasonable from out interactions so far :-)
May 15, 2018 20:51
Some good advice
May 15, 2018 20:50
Everyone else wrote a single paragraph :/ maybe I'm adding too much to my answers, my smaller concise answers tend to do better overall
May 15, 2018 20:49
I feel like I went overboard on answer that question
May 15, 2018 20:49
Yikes

I very recently had the CEO of a startup send me a twitter DM, didn't know if I should be horrified or be over the moon

Hey masked man I take it your a naruto fan? Been keeping up with boruto?
May 15, 2018 14:23
lmfao.
May 15, 2018 14:11
How do you guys even find the time to answer question regularly, I just find myself answering the odd question on my lunch break.
May 15, 2018 13:50
I'm going to remove my comments as for the most part after doing more digging your answers are generally sensible and well informed and I don't really intend to join the crowd throwing you to the wolves.
May 15, 2018 13:44
That's a positive edit, I upvoted @RichardU
May 15, 2018 11:46
You don't have to keep pinging me :-), I just think that kind of attitude will push away users who may genuinely want to find a home on this stack. Do you specifically know why apaul has it in for you?
May 15, 2018 11:40
Also do you think you have some superiority over low rep users? Pretty childish statement coming for someone one trying to get power..
May 15, 2018 11:39
@RichardU I think you've misunderstood, I was challenging your statement. I wasn't exactly against you but some of the things posted by the other user seemed offensive and while browsing through some of your answers they just seemed off. I linked one I read.

woops totally thought I was in the cooler room, thanks for the heads up.
May 15, 2018 18:32
I don't work for SO but I get the feeling a lot of the people who work there are generally soft when it comes to upholding the foundations of what this site was built on and it's easier to blame the community of being hostile than it is to do a better job of moderating discussions. Not to mention within the tech industry if your not virtue signalling it's a great way to be tossed aside by the majority liberal group of people.
May 15, 2018 18:30
Well it's good you found a way to handle it, I just don't think we can rid the people making a fuss about it with a things like blog posts much like the no nice stuff. It's there in the rules, moderators and SO should of been enforcing it and they weren't. For me putting anything like that out in front of people is either a cry for change or pointing fingers.
May 15, 2018 18:25
but ey chat rooms don't make money for SO so I doubt it'll ever get the attention it deserves
May 15, 2018 18:24
I think those things are what it should be about for sure, closing a room should really be a last resort
May 15, 2018 18:23
Definitely it's definitely made me want to go into chat far less, half the regs in the JS room are just apologising over literally anything at all as they really don't want there room closed
May 15, 2018 18:22
There way of solving issues with chat is just to close the room, which given the fact they haven't cared in the last 4-5 years at all is just awful.
May 15, 2018 18:21
The one about chat enforcement was even worse as a whole, highlights all the negatives with no real direction towards solving things.
May 15, 2018 18:21
Personally all I've seen from that posts are negatives from a personal exspierence

Pretty stupid retort considering that people with autism are widely accepted and are some of the most professional / talented people at least in our community(software devs) .
May 15, 2018 18:18
If so that's ludicrous.
May 15, 2018 18:18
Because your autistic?
May 15, 2018 18:18
I'm a somewhat fairly regular person in the JS room which was targeted subsequently and it's a completely different landscape now :/
May 15, 2018 18:17
It sadly has brought a whole wave of people who seemingly don't want a conversation or debate. They merely want to shout at anyone who doesn't get behind them.
May 15, 2018 18:16
Pretty sensitive topic considering the recent SO blog post
 
Apr 18, 2018 15:22
I vaguely understood the reasoning for doing it but I think this fills the gap exactly.
Apr 18, 2018 15:21
That's a great example!
Apr 18, 2018 14:46
You'll notice in the Microsoft implementation they specifically haven't optimized the comparision of bytes, I think it's somewhat common practice.
Apr 18, 2018 14:24
thanks for the link I'll make sure to read more :-)
Apr 18, 2018 14:24
Oh right, it currently works. Though that could be replaced with a standard buffer, general good implementation means you should use inefficient methods to mitigate timing based attacks
Apr 18, 2018 14:22
huh? are you talking about my library?
Apr 18, 2018 14:17
If you think that's right I'll mark or delete the question. Though thanks for the information.
Apr 18, 2018 14:17
I can see where you coming from with the duplicate
Apr 18, 2018 14:17
Aye I saw I'm really familliar with the process
Apr 18, 2018 14:14
If not I can google it
Apr 18, 2018 14:14
Do you have a link handy?
Apr 18, 2018 14:14
Eventually I'd like to be able to provide a lot of what identity server does but in the browser or node, but for the moment it's just a little bridging library. I want to know why this method is better practice or more secure, I feel like the questions you've linked don't answer my concerns or question :/
Apr 18, 2018 14:13
In the node world normally you'd use something like bcrypt but that only returns back you a key and they don't add the encoding information as standard back, so presumably it's not used to verify hashes or not needed.
Apr 18, 2018 14:12
I'm working on this open source package that allows you to verify identity server hashes in your browser or nodeJS server github.com/LiamDotPro/node-identity-server
