  • It’s also important to note that you might come out ahead in learning those abstract concepts using a harder language.

    But my first language was Pascal. from a book stolen from my dad’s library. Then C++. I still wouldn’t call myself anything other than an amateur… I mean, my dad can do more with one line of C than most programmers can do in their entire career. (he really shouldn’t. but he does. Calls it “job security”.)


  • My guess is they mean, one capital letter, one lower case letter, a number, and a special character

    what’s always amused me about these rules is that they exist because people are dumb. Technically, they lower the difficulty of the passwords slightly. ( for example, knowning that one character is a number reduces it to 10 options in stead of 10+26+26+whatever set of special characters)

    anyhow. people should use password managers. just saying.
