Why HN links it
HN readers link these posts on AngularJS performance and ng-repeat's track by, and on password-cracking statistics from a set of 62k passwords. Commenters mostly cite them as sources rather than praise them.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
We knew this was a long time coming, and it’s finally here. The Angular Team has announced that they will soon release AngularJS 1.7.0, which will be …

What Hacker News says?
- Everything you need to know about Angular is explained in ng-book or the like. Trying to learn the framework by reading blog posts isn't going to work. There's just too much to know, and it's impossible to understand what's really going on unless it's presented in a logical and comprehensive way. - Angular isn't designed to render large tables. Go with DataTables for jQuery instead, or if you don't need all the fe…

HN discussionHowever, the length of the average password is probably closer to 8 chars ( http://www.codelord.net/2011/06/18/statistics-of-62k-passwor... ) at which point the time to crack a password drops to 84 minutes for SHA-1 and 30 minutes for MD5. Also if users aren't required to use uppercase or special characters, they probably won't ( http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/74164/www2007.pdf ), at which case things look a lot…

HN discussionIf anyone, like me, didn't know about 'track by' as a way to optimize ng-repeats, here's a couple of articles that explain what it is and why it's beneficial: http://www.codelord.net/2014/04/15/improving-ng-repeat-perfo... http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2556-using-track-by-with-ngrepe...

HN discussion"Operations" as opposed to "engineering" for systems admin. The "DevOps revolution" is predicated around increasing the amount of automation involved with ops, though in my experience that's 1) simply a continuation of long-time best practices and 2) often frustrated by the non-programmable tools employed in some "DevOps" tools (e.g., RightScale, which utterly lacks scriptability). More on RightScale, FWIW, somewhat…
