CVE-2016-6210. ask sshd about a user that doesn’t exist and it says no instantly, cause there’s nothing to hash. [The solution is] sshd grabs some other account’s salt and hashes your password anyway
I’m not sure how this is relevant to what caused this bug. Seems to me like a random point that was added by the AI writing this blogpost without human review.
I agree with you. But I disagree on this rule avoiding confusion. I think it does the opposite. I think that’s why most speakers ignore it.
just because a native English speaker ignores a rule in their own language that doesn’t really speak much about the language, it says more about the speaker
It doesn’t. If the speakers of a language ignore a “rule”, that says more about the rule itself. Eventually, a rule like the one we’re discussing will cease to exist since it only complicates communication, as has happened to past rules and words.
I also have an issue with calling it “standard”. “Standard” is whatever everyone uses. Following rules that no one else does makes you sound robotic. It’s why so many guides on pronounciation in English fail. They go off of how the word is spelt and ignore how people actually say it.

This guy’s being pedantic. I say “a software” all the time.
It’s important to understand how a language works, but don’t let grammar Nazis trick you into caring about minor rules even English speakers ignore.

The real question is who’s willing to help develop this software if someone were to start work on it
Being lied to
And there is a last reason, which is less rigorous but matters to us just as much. We write software because we enjoy writing software […] We are not interested in optimizing away the reason we do this.
Becoming a furry just to get in a line of work is like changing religion for the community support
I can’t really articulate why but I do think this should be in /c/piracy
