I would suggest using HTTPS on your main domain. While you do include an iframe from a HTTPS source for the form that asks for a credit card, someone could MITM the main domain and replace the iframe source with something else, and the user

If your application is a well-behaving application in a well-behaving environment, then it will most likely run in a reasonable amount of time. Furthermore, if you leak a few mutexes, it's not really a big deal for most applications. I

I have noticed an increase of reviews that typically contain a subject of "<Number> Stars", and either no review body, or a very short review body, such as "good book". I too hate reviews like that, but I think it&

Sometimes review abuse is more subtle than the example in the article given. I found a recently published technical book on Amazon, which had a couple dozen five star reviews. I read a few of them, and it seemed great. The author's bio

The article is good, but I was bothered by the post title. In this case, "science-based" seems to mean that the author merely presented her claims with a logical argument. An example from the article: But it’s not a good idea to

Without seeing the prompt they gave you and not knowing the context you would have gained from the technical interview, we're all just guessing here. My guess is that they were expecting a much simpler application for a simple problem.

Why did you need to install VS on the build servers? It is not needed to build web apps. My current company (a .NET web shop) has a strict rule of "no VS on the build server". I know that it's needed to build some things, lik

I wish there was a way to filter by full-time vs part-time/intern. Filtering by country USA, a plurality of developers under 25 are making under $40,000. I am assuming that a good portion of them are interns.

Strictly speaking, you are probably right. Outlook has often been bundled with the higher tiers of the Microsoft Office suite and omitted from the lower tiers. But Outlook Express and Windows Mail? Certainly there are many home users using

There are ways in the .NET framework to read an entire file with one line: File.ReadAllText("file.txt"). And the System.Net.WebClient class provides ways to make simple HTTP calls in much fewer lines than WebRequest does. Likewise, Python h

In English, the grapheme "d" very commonly represents the sound /d/. Likewise, the grapheme "j" in English very commonly represents the sound /dʒ/. Additionally /dʒ/ is a single distinct sound. There is no /d/ sound in /dʒ/. It's an unfortu

This may be a bit tangential, but may I ask what led you to decide to learn web programming? My background is in web programming, though I have much less programming experience overall than you (~5 years). For me, I feel like learning C/C++

I don't think the first statement is a valid argument. One could instead note the number of jobs offshored between 1994 and 2012, and see that the unemployment rate has increased from 6.6% to 8.3%. That's not to say the original comment is
