I would guess that desktop computers are just much harder to fence than, say, TVs, and that you're just a bit paranoid (I don't blame you, considering the situation). A smart thief would also be wary of LoJack-type software on th

This is dangerously vague. Scenario: "When I try to push, I get an error message" Answer: "...you must force push (-f) your changes" A newbie could follow that advice and blow away their teammates' commits. Bette

My experience matches this observation. Working with a much larger company as a vendor, the difference becomes magnified (e.g. LargeCo wants meetings meetings meetings all the time, even when the same information could be communicated in a

Coding. Essentially, time spend in a text editor / browser window combo, developing new features and new products. Recently I've been working on mobile apps so there is also a bunch of testing on the device as needed. I persona

How would you suggest that they verify that you are who you say they are? If they didn't have some form of verification, anyone could sign up for an account saying they were you, and cancel or redirect any packages going to your home.

Were I to choose one for a new project now, I would probably go with PDO simply because of its generic nature and support for prepared queries with parameter replacement. Mysqli apparently has this too but bind variables are somewhat diffi

Too bad. Please pass along to any PHP developers you know! (Just curious, do you not do backend development or is there something specific in that list you don't do / like?)

I don't have a bachelor's degree at all (I have an associate's) and I am working as a professional software developer for a startup, so yes. I recommend you do some freelancing as it's potentially the easiest way to brea

Agreed. The sane alternative is to extract specific, expected inputs to scope once they have been filtered and escaped. Any API I've written has this sort of validation built-in.

Most WYSIWYG stuff I've used (long ago, mind you) was quickly not granular enough to be worthwhile. Very often I'll be working with HTML that is any of these: - initially hidden - meant to be rendered as part of a larger whole -
