"Despicable"? Are you sure that's the word you want to use? I'm not fully on Coda's side on this (it's a silly news site, and I've told more than one HN'er to just stretch SHA1 with iterations), but a great way to guarantee that I end up there is to polarize the discussion with comments like this.
It's actually people like you who create stupid flame wars like this. Do you actually have an opinion about bcrypt versus PBKDF1? Or are you just sitting on the sidelines chanting "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT"?
Incidentally: in the fully polarized discussion, Salvatore loses.
Despicable to just add "use bcrypt" comment without understanding why antirez was against it and not responding to his comments. There were several people on that thread who corrected antirez but did it in a civilized manner. I was specifically talking about people who just added "use bcrypt" and not coda
What is "people like me"?
I don't have an opinion about bcrypt v/s PBKDF1. I have an opinion about how people should provide feedback. I don't know where you get the idea that I'm chanting "fight fight fight". Exactly the opposite actually. Provide constructive feedback and don't just mindlessly litter a discussion with "use bcrypt"
Since you don't have an opinion about the actual subject we're discussing, you're really only here to talk about people. People I assume you don't actually know. You think you're contributing, but you're just like the kids on the playground taunting the two kids who look like they're about to fight.
You are just trolling. Calm down! I don't think you are even reading my comments fully.
Again I don't know where you are getting the idea that I'm taunting anyone. Also I'm not commenting on people but their collective behaviour. It is an important difference. You are just making baseless allegations.
"two kids" ? If you are referring to coda & antirez, I specifically said I was not referring to coda.
When five people show up on a pull request, out of nowhere, unsolicited, and tell me to use a library that I don't know well, and the first one of them is the author of that library, then I expect some sort of reasonable explanation beyond "use my library." Cargo-culting library usage is just as bad as cargo-culting functions or classes. Just pointing that out.
