My bank requires your password to contain NO vowels. I always forget when I update the password (forced to every 3 months) and the error never mentions it.
I’m struggling to think why this would be a thing. The only guess I have is someone was told to enforce “no dictionary words in a password” and saw that as an ‘easier’ way to implement?
Same for C, & yields a pointer to a value, and * allows you to access the data. (For rust people, a pointer is like a reference with looser type checking)
my favorite name origin for a bit of software relates to the text editor nano. nano was written as a standalone clone of Pico, as a play on metric prefixes, but Pico is actually Pine compositor, part of Pine, an email client. Pine itself was based on an earlier email client called Elm, and has been attributed as various recursive acronyms such as ‘Pine Is Nearly Elm’
