Have you tried what you are suggesting in practice? I have never succeeded in getting any raise unless I had a concrete actionable BATNA, i.e. a competing offer.

Mission? Loyalty? Company values? Which would do you live in? You are speaking as if the companies are doing a favor to the employees by giving them a job and the employees are at the mercy of these companies. Being employed with a company

Your comment proves the point of the article. As long as the management refuses to pay a salary that is at par with the market standard, the only way to get paid as per the market standard is to get a new job.

That's pretty much the point, isn't it? If I need true multithreading, then I am forced to write an extension in C or offload the multithreading work to another process (such as RDBMS in your case). It would have been nice if true

Let us take it case by case. Case 1: Have a child. Take care of the child until the child is an adult. It has an irreversible effect on one's lifestyle and schedule. Even after the child has grown up, the parent and the child are still

I don't see how Roe v Wade contradicts the claim that "having children" is "considered good". Roe v Wade is about abortion, i.e. a situation that applies to unwanted pregnancy, something we are not discussing in thi

I don't think this list comes anywhere close to having a baby. None of the items have a 100% probability of causing irreversible life choices. For example, the choice of performing a crime may not end up in conviction, the choice of dr

Can you provide us a list of those 12 other irreversible life choices that you can count? I am genuinely cuious to know what other such life choices are there that I need to be careful about.

Can you explain in what way is it easier to reason about separating the search operation from the validation operation? I can argue that it is easier to reason about simply hashing and then looking up because once hashed, the lookup does no

by foo101 10y ago
If that's the case, then why not hash the entire token and store hash(token) in the database. Then you can just query for: SELECT tokenid, userid FROM password_reset_tokens WHERE hashed_token = :hashed_token AND NOW() < expire

> If your database's primary key is 32 bits (SERIAL in PostgreSQL, INT(11) in MySQL, etc.), you want at least 8 bytes for the selector. 32 bits = 4 bytes. How can we store a 8 byte selector in a 32 bit integer then?

Why is the author using a convoluted scheme of splitting token into selector and verifier, and then storing hash(verifier) in the database, why not use a simpler scheme of accepting username and token from the user and storing hash(token) i
