"Did they implement defenses against common web vulnerabilities like SQL injection?" Prepared statements has been available with PDO since 2005. It might very well have had bugs, b…

I agree though I would add that much of this is because android "won" linux on embedded. Today it (unfortunately IMO) seems far more likely that a hobby ecosystem is going to trick…

It's called a "dark pattern" these days. JustFab is a prominent example and has been discussed on HN.

While I don't agree with all their decisions I think it safe to say that the only reason stack exchange has really good answers to overly moderate in the first place is because the…

"Guess what, you start shit, people react, you make enemies." Since you are now essentially making threats I can no longer in good faith continue this discussion.

"You called me ignorant directly and you started it" I didn't call you ignorant, so much as your argument that involved currency and north korea. But I realize it's a fine line and…

History is being made wheter you like it or not.

"Who said that was the achievement?" Anyone who understood what was being achieved. That doesn't mean that a single achieve or being first in itself is that meaningful, but it's st…

What complete drivel. How do you even figure that a masters degree would take "nearly a decade". A bachelor + master is five years in Sweden, before the Bologna process the equival…
