The #1 Rule of Cryptography[^]
This guy has been writing a series of blog posts and I think this one was mis-categorized. It is way too short to be an article so I think it should be another of his blog posts.

Agree. I've recategorised it.

Thanks for the report. I have sent the author a message about the links in the articles.

I see the classic review need message in the homepage (box on the right with article/tips list), but there is no link to the pages, just the name of the user which "posted" the article.
Seems like a bug of some sort for me... anyone else?

SQL Server Brute Force Attack Detection[^]
In the third paragraph, the text "... paid software solutions exists ..." is a link to a commercial product. Seems like it would qualify as spam, but the rest of the article looks useful.
Maybe one for @Sean-Ewington to judge?
Edit: The user has removed the link: SQL Server Brute Force Attack Detection[^]

What happens with article "Weiler-Atherton algorithm in MFC" by Petrov Vladimir: invisible pictures and broken discussion

We had a network upgrade this weekend that has caused some file system issues. They are working on it now and should be sorted out very soon.
[Update: all fixed]

Maybe @sean-ewington can have a word with him. It is a long time member with many articles so I decided to post it here.
In the C++ Tip: Erase-remove Idiom Revisited[^] he cited from the C++17 STL Cookbook without proper indication:
Quote: Deleting items from somewhere in the middle of an std::vector takes O(n) time. This is because the resulting gap from removing an item must be filled by moving all the items which come after the gap one slot to the back.
While moving items around like this, which might be expensive if they are complex and/or very large and include many items, we preserve their order. If preserving the order is not important, we can optimize this, as this section shows. That is followed by naming the author and the source:
Quote: Jacek Galowicz, author of C++17 STL Cookbook propose his quick_remove_at function for removing elements from std::vector by moving the last element to removed position. But the citing is not indicated and from reading it is not clear that it is a citation.

No, it is not OK unless it is for a download that you're already hosting on CodeProject. I've removed the link and warned the author.

Sometimes if a blog author changes their RSS feed our aggregator pulls in another. I've deleted the duplicates.

I appreciate the effort of the author of showing how to use the App in order to perform some rudimentary self-check on your own health, but the Articles is basically a presentation on how the app works, and the code itself is limited at 53 lines which just plot incoming data.
There is basically nothing personal, custom, in this project.
I was about to mark it as "Extremely Poor Quality", but then I thought it was better to see what other people think about it.

@Sean Ewington, would you please look into my reputation history. No big deal, but such an abuse needs your attention i think.
I'm sure it's an act of Hardevsinh Mori[^] who created different account as H M Mori[^] once the older one got blocked somehow.

Thanks for the report. The votes should disappear by the end of the day. If this happens again, please let me know.

It's totally fine if it remains there. I'm more concerned about the act. Thank you.

Article: SqlServer Clr functions utility[^]
I think, in general, we should have requested the author to fix the spelling and grammar before approving it. Any thoughts?
Example:
concactened, i setted , directoty, managment, This 3 functions, don t use it, have query more easy., Attacched

It depends.
And I think you know why.

For non-native english writers, like me, is not always so immediate. Especially if the article is long, and not made of just some chapters.
I would say that it depends on the quality of the article itself; I can easily go over some minor grammar mistakes if the article is in a good shape and has interesting contents.

Having a look at the code in this article the Sort method in XmlSorter is awfully close to the code provided originally here. Basically only the name of the first parameter is different...
Perhaps @sean-ewington could take a look?
