   Like the article said, you can't use it with function calls because empty() itself is a construct of the language and not a function. So, empty(someFunc()) is an error. You'd have to put the return value of someFunc() in a variable and test

   Better than parameter skipping would be named parameters so you could just do: function foo($a, $b="10", $c="5", $d="3") { /* .. */ } foo(5, $c="10"); That way $a == 5, $b == "10", $c == "10", and $d == "3". Much better and cl

   The two biggest issues for me have to deal with communicating with groups of people. First, I hate being involved with an email conversation between several people that lasts for days and you end up with a 100 email long chain. It's difficu

   Maybe they're building their own data center? Or really trying to expand into the enterprise market by going up head to head with Atlassian (expanding their issues and Wiki tools to complete separate packages). All speculation, of course.

   It's standard practice to encrypt your emails when sending potential security notifications to the party that you're notifying. Not only does it keep out prying eyes, it ensures the person sending the email is who they say they are.

   This type of redesign is not needed. Full redesigns are rarely needed. In my opinion, they should have spent several months changing small pieces of their site and testing how well people respond to the changes.

    I imagine things like this is a result of the account management part of LinkedIn being built years ago when we thought plain-jane sha1 was ok to use, and then they just never got around to using bcrypt. Ironically, the algorithm to upgrade

    I'll reserve judgement until the case is concluded, but something I see repeated with this is that they are a very diverse firm. That's great and progressive. It still doesn't mean something like this couldn't happen.

    This sites design is....not good. The font is hard to read at that size, the icons are blurry, the quotes at the bottom look like endorsements on first view. Needs some more time in the oven I think.

    Exactly. I love GitHub, but they are a bit pricey. If I can get a professional tool for $10 (I have between 1-5 developers) rather than $25 a month, I'm there.

    I think you have to assume worst case: if they have access to your database, they have access to your web root. It might not be the case, but you should assume that.

    I just switched from MySQL to Postgres for everything (as a result of seeing how powerful and stable it is at my full time job) and it is simply amazing. Easily one of the most impressive pieces of software built.
