Assuming that r contains XML and this.hardErrors[i] is already escaped for XML safety, that is probably what you'd expect to see a code-generated XML generator doing, as well as hand-generated XML (if generating text directly and not an intermediate abstract representation of the XML).

#53In few words - whole Polish voting system is dead now and the votes are counted by the people. What is more interesting: in the tender for the software started one company and of course won it - random case? I don't thing so.. greets from Poland:)

I like to believe it was the only company crazy (or inexperienced) enough to participate in a project of this scale on such a short notice. Which would be a sign of maturity of the Polish IT sector.

#55The government messed up the public procurement. They wanted to have the system done in a very short time (one month?). Only one company submitted an offer.

LOL, really belive that? Sorry but IMO it was set - app costs was around $120k so..

Electoral voting system written in PHP. Sounds like a good idea.
It is amazing that I knew your comment was sarcastic. But, a computer parsing this sentence would never be able to tell. This is a reason that humans are special :)
A computer programmed to deal with sarcasm would contrast this statement with (local) popular opinion and deduce from the large contrast between the certitude of the statement and the popular opinion that this statement is either sarcasm or obliviousness. I think exactly as humans do. It's not that sarcasm is hard to detect for computers, it's just that it's hard for computers to collect enough contextual information to judge the validity of any statement.

I don't think an application written in PHP makes it inherently insecure. Maybe if you're talking about some 2004-style PHP with magicquotes and register globals enabled, but not in 2014 with a modern stack/framework. You could write a shitty ruby app just as easily as you can write a shitty php app.
Writing your code in PHP, no matter how good of a programmer you are, makes it more likely that your natural level of mistakes will insert security issues into the code, especially when compared to a language with even basic features like static typing. I'm not saying this as some idiot who thinks PHP is bullshit and for noobs, I've worked on pretty large sites using PHP and I have a pretty deep understanding of it.…

While I'm inclined to agree, this is a self-defeating premise. If you're "so good" of a programmer that you do not make security affecting mistakes (i.e. one of only a handful of PHP programmers I've met), then the probability of inserting "security issues" into your code is still zero, regardless of language.

Good. :)

I don't understand your reply. No one is good enough to write code without bugs.

This is congruent to saying, "Whitelists don't exist. Everyone implements poorly scoped black-lists."
