Why does JavaScript suck? The answer is simple: history.
JavaScript was created by a really smart guy called Brendan Eich
over a period of a week or so. He did it because Microsoft was
largely perceived as evil, and his aim was to create a programming
platform in the Netscape navigator. That way, the browser would run
everywhere, and the OS wouldn’t matter as much. HAHA! Down with
Microsoft. You can see how well that worked out.

Password generators are incredibly useful for those who don’t use the
same password everywhere. The issue is that everyone uses the same
password everywhere. Hopefully when people see how easy password
generation can be, that’ll change; there really is no excuse to not use
different passwords these days. @code{-mkpass} aims to be the absolute
simplest password generator possible while still providing the
functionality you need.ls

Two factor authentication is also something you should be using — and
something that is very easy to manage — and something that I will be
posting about shortly™.

p {-
The most basic usage of @code{-mkpass} is to just call @code{-mkpass}.
By default this will generate a 64-character password made up of random
printable characters. If you need to use specific characters (for
example, maybe you can only use alphanumeric characters) then you can
simply specify a
@code {
a
href="https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tr.1.html"
target="_blank"
{-tr(1)}
}
style range:
}
figure {
pre { m4_fmt_code(basic-usage.sh.gsp) }
}
p {-
You can also specify the length of the password using
the @code{--l} flag:
}
figure {
pre { m4_fmt_code(length-flag.sh.gsp) }
}
p {-
And that ladies and gentlemen, is the entire program. A nice minimal
tool that does one thing and one thing only, while integrating nicely
with the UNIX environment. This is (in my opinion), an example of
well-designed software.
