Threads view! Yea, I think I just get anxious that I'm simply not being productive or earning my salary. Sometimes I worry that I won't get back into the zone or be able to pull off something to make up for all the downtime. I&#

I have similar work habit and, though I wouldn't say it was due to depression, I will become guilty and/or anxious when I'm in one of my low-productivity phases.

It looks interesting. I have to wonder if the sideways action of this ax is tough on the wrists? I know with a regular axe when you get a bad hit and the ax goes sideways, it's very unsatisfying - not to mention slightly jarring to t

I don't think he confuses the two - he talks about both in detail. The issue is with the concept if the flat interest rate combined with service fees and signup fees that make the advertised borrower rate misleading. But there is a li

It does because you were trying to insinuate that 1 hour delivery of food is a logistical nightmare. You probably are thinking more along the lines of Amazon.com and shut out of your mind that restaurants have been doing this for decades.

There shouldn't be a key baked into the app. Each user gets their own unique key. so the worst you could do reverse engineering the app is to steal your own key. There should never be any "master" key used for all users.

It is true you have to trust that the native app is not tricking you into thinking that you're entering your password on Facebook. But, at least if it's implemented correctly and not maliciously, the app doesn't ever see your

I think it's valid to ask questions like this. We get advice all the time warning us not to try to invent our own algorithms for certain things. Obviously if we all did that, though, we would make no progress as programmers. I'm

You're correct - you shouldn't ship an app with a secret key embedded. That would be a flawed implementation. It's hard to be specific without knowing what you're doing. If you have an app that connects to a third part

#1 is a fairly standard security concept used by protocols like oAuth or JWT. It requires an API key pair (public and secret key). The secret key is only used for signing and is never passed in the request. Used in combination with nonces

Using a standard library for authentication like oAuth or similar is generally a better idea than creating your own. It's also usually easier since you don't have to re-invent the wheel. Aside from that, I don't see a reason

My first introduction to ORMs was hibernate. I immediately loved the idea but to be honest it can be extremely frustrating to get things done - especially if you are good at writing SQL already. It can feel like handcuffs! I kinda suspect

In my case it just saves a lot of time on "plumbing" code. Having DB entities represented consistently as objects is helpful for doing all kinds of things. - having events fire on save or delete, hooks for business-logic validati

I use an ORM that does basic mapping but let's you write your own SQL to cover situations that mismatch (still contained in a data layer of the app). It basically just saves a ton of time and let's me write a REST Services in abou

I think those are all perfectly fair questions however I would take the answers you get with a grain of salt. I wouldn't expect an employer to admit they're 6 weeks away from going under at a job interview. Startups are risky and

Yea good point. They would probably be more likely to get their money back actually, but it won't be a massive payout.

I'm not really into trolling but I will admit it's funny too see somebody who takes themselves way too seriously getting strung along. Particularly if I find their opinions disagreeable. I don't really find it that interesti

Actually a lifestyle company is pretty much the term for any business that makes a great living for the owners and employees, but never results in significant profit for investors. Investors won't touch a company with a 10 foot pole if

My experience is pretty much the same as yours. I feel sharper in some ways. I definitely work much smarter than I did in my 20s by magnitudes. Although, mildly annoying, I find myself more frequently going to another room to fetch someth

I think universities have always been this way. It's ironic because they are places of learning and exploring. But only when the topics do not concern the running of the institution itself.

I've noticed the HN hive mind becomes interested in certain types of non-tech topics for a few days and then moves back to tech. I find the non-tech links to usually be an interesting diversion but I have to resist the temptation of ad

Not sure I agree about heroin being gentle and harmless, but I do think that making any drug illegal immediately creates a black market, which in turn leads to violence and powerful, wealthy crime organizations. I'm not sure where the

It's not really surprising to me. Oracle has been the DB system for enterprise systems for years - they have a lot of corporations running on their platform.

Well if your story doesn't seem to add up then you might find yourself explaining things. My point is really that there is no advantage to lying about being a student vs a rich tourist because they don't favor one over the other.

The other reason he will never, ever go back to the US is because he's likely on a watch list now and will be denied any attempt to enter. It's a shame that happened. The traveler has had an unfortunate interest in traveling to m

If you've been traveling to Yemen and Somolia and all over the Middle East to places that do not have good relations with the US - then it wouldn't be a terrible idea to "lose" your passport and get a replacement without

The border patrol could care less whether you are a broke student or a rich tourist. They are not interested in how much you plan to spend. So in that regard I would think you might as well tell them the truth simply because if you get cau

I believe as they say, 10 apprentices does not equal 1 master. When you work with any outsourcing company they have people of all skill working on the project. You will get their best masters at first, but at some point the "b"
