If you have to ask… then you don’t know
I was reading some Proverbs (Bible 1) in a simplified translation and every second verse is a straight tautology. Better translations use phrasing and rhyme to hide it, but people love platitudes and will meme them into a global religion.
This was a good post, very informative. So I have a couple questions: how many Germans fit their “ideal” of 180 if it is a bit below average? Normal distribution, so median German will be average German I suppose, but is 2cm one standard deviation? And the same for Americans, is 6 foot eliminating 70% of the male population if it’s this far above average? Should the Germans pick 190 or 200 as their round numbers to have comparable proportions of “inadequate men”? Does picking a below-average number increase the impact on the smaller number of men who don’t pass the bar?
If you’re the only one using it, you could just publish the source and let us review it. Worst case we find some terrible flaw and you have to stop using it for a bit while you fix it.
But I can’t imagine any big vulnerabilities in a local frontend anyway? I’d be more worried about accidentally sending/resending requests and generating unnecessary load for the server. For authentication it’s hard to mess up as long as you’re not sending passwords to servers other than the one you’re trying to log in.
