    Yes, it's supported. It's one of the "initialization" options when you start a new game.

    I'm kinda curious why none of the third party app developers considered selling Reddit requests as in-app purchases – just charge the rate Reddit charges.

    I think so? PostgreSQL is very well written software AFACT. I've run into version incompatibilities before, but it was my fault – they were expertly documented in the release notes…

    Sure – and fail to meet their constraints

    Is that even true? I don't think I've seen or read a direct apples-to-apples comparison of the two. There could be all kinds of reasons why that is tho (if it is in fact the case).…

    I wouldn't think using "standalone" versus whatever would make much of a difference. If you're using a hosted DB service, you're (probably) stuck in needing/wanting to rehearse usi…

    What's the structure that your custom DB uses?

    I've found, repeatedly, tho that this is the best way to really understand the common pitfalls without just receiving them as 'holy writ'.

    Sure! I'm guessing we have different 'threat models' in mind. From my perspective, I know _I_ am a moral and ethical person and therefore won't "execute an action against the user'…

    A 'user' can do all of the things you mentioned, e.g. "insert random HTTP headers", given that they have access to all of the stuff your code does too, so any code, of yours, that …

    That's weird. I'm pretty sure routing numbers (the bank portion) in the U.S. are all public anyways. I've been routinely looking-up my bank's routing number via Google for a while!…

    I think I do that, on the off chance that a person might have multiple listings, and my general preference for precision. I probably also figured it'd be easier for them to know wh…

    He doesn't assume that "robotic life form[s]" would be more likely to perform future space exploration. He's written (before) about why he thinks that's much more likely.
