| Comment | Post #290511 |
From 2003 to 2017, NIST's 800-63 pushed the bad advice they later repudiated. See [this WSJ article](https://archive.is/4xffa) (no paywall) on the history. That's why organizations that are slow to change and old systems without active development might still have the crummy old guidelines. (more) |

Do you want to add an explainer for `$'{status=}'`? It's nice for logging or verbose output. (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Are "strong passwords" at all meaningful? Passwords are annoying. Nobody really enjoys passwords, which is why "The End of Passwords" articles keep circulating. I'm looking forward to the day the prediction comes true, but in the meantime passwords are the most common way to do authentication anywhere with a computer. I made a chart t... (more) |

A: How to display overlapped content in an e-mail I don't understand your "Venn Diagram" explanation. Are you wanting the image behind the text? If you mean wrapping around the image, you can do this: Instead of cells of a big table, put the image into its own table and `align="right"` the table. Then text will reflow around the table (even i... (more) |

A: Can GitHub rewrite authorship of commits? It doesn't change commit data when you push. You have to set your local email address to the `noreply` one. > ## About commit email addresses > […] > > If you'd like to keep your personal email address private, you can use a `noreply` email address from GitHub as your commit email ad...

| Question | — |
Can GitHub rewrite authorship of commits? GitHub has a setting wherein they offer to "anonymize" your user email from, say, [email protected] to [email protected]. I presume this is to prevent you from getting spam from a scraper that reads the metadata on commits to public repositories. How do they do this without ... (more) |

A: What are the benefits of starting a Git repo with an empty commit? This sounds to me like someone had a problem once and they've decided upon a somewhat silly way to keep that from ever happening again. The big repository hosts have a different way of addressing it. They (offer to) make you a README.md and a .gitignore for the first commit and you can stem ev... (more) |

I haven't done this in LibreOffice, but I once [asked a Google Sheets question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/39044409/241211) somewhere else that resulted in a great answer. The formula there might work for Calc, too. (more) |

A: Command to format code from repo into single markdown file Sylvester's answer is great, but I wanted to point out that interpolation only happens in double-quoted strings (`"`), not in single-quoted ones (`'`). If you have lines that don't need any variable or command interpolation, you can single-quote and skip escapes: ```bash find . -name ".py"... (more) |

I had [a self-answer on GIS.se](https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/66676/20145) where I wanted to immediately tag as "Outdated." Thankfully, I haven't wanted to flag any of my answers as "Dangerous." (more) |
