I hadn't read this submarine article before. This just blew my mind. I've got so many ideas for promoting my side business now.

I'm familiar with that process. I was trying to illustrate a picture of how a poor developer might stumble their way into this situation. It's technically possible to store the userid in the cookie rather than using JWTs, but obvi

I'm hesitant to agree with you because it happens so frequently. I'll admit that I've had my share of receiving newbie bashing. More often than not, I feel like talking with those folks and explaining to them that they should

Have you considered making the question the first line? I think I understand your reasoning. If you lead with the question, then write a bunch of stuff. When they finish reading and get to the end, they may have forgotten the initial questi

I think the feedback was, this looks like a very simple (but possibly useful) app, it should not have such heavy dependencies.

In my experience, many tables don't have a userid on the table that would be associated with the user. It would be a table join or two or three away. So the developer may think it is safe to say select value from stock positions left j

I'm in CA, single earner family, we don't pay even half of my salary in (property/income/sales) taxes. I'm not sure I agree with your sentiment. I suppose if you decided to buy a property that was more than you coul

Thank you for the excerpt.

I prefer to use `ls -lah` which always shows the dot files. It sure would be nice if these were placed in a different folder. Maybe ~/.../ to put all the things. Sure, cat ~/.bash_history would need to be cat ~/.../

Yes, we're quite familiar with MS license audits and the auditors don't even know how everything should be licensed. Good point, thanks.

I see these comment sections get somewhat rowdy and negative. Anyone care to comment on the other side of things? Are there any "it may be down, but it is up quite often and saves us heaps of time and labor, totally worth the occasiona

My brother-in-law lives in LA, and parks there every day. He honestly tries not to get parking tickets, but he's been towed once or twice because the street wasn't clear. I know he isn't intentionally trying to break the law.

Sounds like advertising. I don't want any ads in my imgur feed. I don't want any ads in the magazines I _BUY_ I don't want any ads in the movies I PAY to go to watch (trailers and "buy candy and popcorn clips"). If

Thanks, some sales, some support, some customer inquiries. We've looked at salesforce, but that got a no. I'll check out the other links you've provided, thank you.

Another unfortunate factor is.... if you take the plea for 2, case closed. If you don't take the plea, then that makes a lot more work for everyone involved (justice department) to take it to trial.

Heh. This is a copy/paste comment from the last dozen leaks.

What's worse about dev is that chrome auto-forwarded to the https version even if you were using it internally for testing using your hosts file.

I'm a coder DOING some of these conversions. I see both sides of the coin here. One additional point I wanted to mention is that once we have done one or two, or a dozen of these conversions, we start to see common themes. More often t

I think you missed the point. The comment you replied to is stating that excel does not have these things. Proper software engineering will have these. Excel is fast, but also easy to repeat a mistake. With unit tests, software is much less

What you have written here is what I came to logically myself as well. However, it would then be more difficult for someone in Sacramento to ask someone in San Francisco what time the train leaves. Plus, all sorts of similar issues. Mental

Lawyer for the U.S. business I work at said that we can look at it more in the coming year since he suspects it won't come to life in its current form for the exact points you make. Guess we will see. I'm all for individual rights

I find searching for things with go quite often brings up what I need anyways. When I'm unsure or hit a snag, I'll include the term golang. Have not had many problems searching for stuff.

I felt the same way you do, but then I stumbled across this article: https://medium.com/code-zen/why-i-don-t-use-go-web-framework... And, I really started digging into the native http support. Go has a lot of really ni

I sometimes feel crummy to force my preferences on other developers I bring on board. For example, most of my work is PHP, so all of our repo's use spaces, and braces on newlines. When a new dev comes on board, they must follow that fo

Hm, so for someone who eats frozen pizza and fast food on a daily basis (because of the convenience), would Soylent be a step up from that based on your comment?
