The second example given (extracting information from a web view) is also weird. The rust code has the exact same flaw as the java code, which is that they do not validate the source. I think the author didn't really understand the und

From what I understand, they only have to review/audit the times a gem was yanked, to see if it was a legitimate action. I reckon there is a lot less occurrences

`m` is not a legal value, should be either `min` or `mo` for minutes or months respectively. `s` is actually one of the SI base units: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units#... edit: actually, mon

We are using Clickhouse combined with GDPR's Data Deletion Requests. We store the user-ids in a separate system, and run the ALTER/DELETE statements once per week. Works pretty smooth, though I would prefer some more automation wi

Hmm.. not 100% sure but I see 2 bugs in the PHP script: 1. the src of the image in the HTML is the local path on the hosting server (it would become src="/var/www/nyt/nyt.jpg" ) 2. The v= parameter always uses

Ehm yeah. If it was groundbreaking. But there are 5+ other contenders in this field who are dealing with the same issues, and in some cases are fairing better. We are currently evaluating multiple NewSQL vendors, and it really does come dow

I would be careful to attribute framework decision making to careful thought. This is more the regular organizational dysfunctionality. Either: - The entire organization uses a single framework (and improves on it), which will lead to a bun

For what it's worth, ebay.co.jp is actually not running on their main platform. You can see the difference in the HTML code between ebay.com, ebay.de (both on the main platform) and ebay.co.jp (wordpress based). I actually don't e

I would expect to use the first day of a month as a default, just like when time is not specified it should use 00:00 as default. Taking the current time/day as a default sounds off. Probably hard to fix backwards compatible though...
