Longer passwords provide a greater combination of characters and consequently make it more difficult for an attacker to guess.
Minimum length of the passwords should be enforced by the application.
Passwords shorter than 10 characters are considered to be weak (NIST SP800-132).
While minimum length enforcement may cause problems with memorizing passwords among some users, applications should encourage them to set passphrases (sentences or combination of words) that can be much longer than typical passwords and yet much easier to remember.
Maximum password length should not be set too low, as it will prevent users from creating passphrases. Typical maximum length is 128 characters.
Passphrases shorter than 20 characters are usually considered weak if they only consist of lower case Latin characters.
Too many options, not even counting other sections on that page I did not quote, so I went for the first.
To create an external link, usually to a page at a different website, enclose the URL followed by space and the link text in single square brackets (see examples below). When you save or preview the page, you will see a link rendered slightly differently than an internal wikilink. It may be a different color and/or be followed by an arrow icon to show that it may lead to another site.
The link will be HTTP or HTTPS depending on the protocol of the page currently being viewed (which could be different for different users). This is only supported inside of square brackets [ ]. Using “//en.wikipedia.org” by itself does not result in a link.
When searching text files on Windows, often FindStr is the only tool at hand. Given the MS-DOS ancestry, it carries quite a bit of history, so here are a few links on the quirks it has:
On the data team here at Stack Overflow, we spend a lot of time and energy thinking about tech ecosystems and how technologies are related to each other. We use these kinds of relationships all over the place, from making the user experience of everyone coming to Stack Overflow better by suggesting relevant content to helping our clients understand how to hire developers. One way to get at this idea of relationships between technologies is tag correlations. Correlation between tags measures how often tags appear together relative to how often they appear separately. You can check out one of the chapters of my book (written with fellow Stack Overflow data scientist Dave Robinson) for more detailed discussion of this.
Though 64-bit support was released back in 2011 with Delphi XE2, sometimes I forget which data type are native size and which keep their size no matter the compiler bitness (wiktionary/wikipedia).
