A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Hi kind reminder password hashes.
For all no-tech-people: what? Please explain
If you're a company, you should save your users' passwords as "hashes" which is like a scrambled up version, so if your data gets stolen the hackers will have to unscramble all the passwords which takes a long time. Some naughty companies don't do this and save their passwords as plain text. The person above is presumably talking to developers to remind them not to be naughty
I'm saying that password dumps are usually hashed passwords anyway, so there won't be commas just base 64 along with usernames and other stuff that probably doesn't contain commas.
For the benefit of the person above you, thats not to say that hashed passwords are unbreakable, because hackers can build a thing called a rainbow rmtable where they hash a bunch of known passwords, words, and phrases, and then can compare their rainbow table agains a stolen hash to learn what the starting value might have been. Thats why a complex password is very useful
Not much of an Issue thanks to salting
Only if you dont make the salting or hashing wrong which happens far to often
This terminology is making me hungry
Tl;dr: parseley, hash browns and salt is good.
