So how long after a link is submitted here at HN can the OP alter the title? Last night when I commented, the title was something along the lines of: > The new ‘Pay with Stripe’ button is gorgeous But now this morning, it's: > The n

Yes, but the guy I replied to said he scrubbed it, which implies that they did not prevent anything from being logged, but instead they cleaned it up afterwards. Thus the reason for me saying what I did.

PCI compliance largely requires that this such data never exist in the first place. Perhaps you can get by with scrubbing after-the-fact if the disk is encrypted, but logs are still "data at rest" and on an unencrypted filesystem I don't se

I wouldn't go so far as to call it gorgeous, it's just an extension of the default Bootstrap theme[1]. I guess if your site is using the default Bootstrap theme, then that's great, but in and of itself it is not eye-catching IMO. 1. http:/

Don't all modern browsers warn of (or block) mixed HTTP/HTTPS content?

Yes, I think you missed the live event where this was used as a deck to go along with a presenter -- which, of course, is notably absent here. I'm fairly certain that those abbreviated bullet points were extrapolated on when the presentatio

If only MS would invest more into improving their products and less on advertising, then they might not even have to advertise. Google's search wasn't really advertised, it was just the best -- so naturally, users flocked to it. I really th

Are you being cheeky? At least 2 of those are PHP-based...

Another glaring issue: they make the assumption that email === webmail. While this may be mostly true, the fact is that many still use POP email, and so what, you're to setup a POP account on whatever machine just so that you can access a w

I think a major problem would be one of the most-common use-cases: you're away from your PC, and want to access their site. To do this, of course, you'd have to get an email sent to that machine. Then, you must login to your email on that s

Ignoring something in a public forum like this won't simply make it "go away", though. There are 100's if not 1000's of eyes on this already (and likely 1000's more now that it's being shared on news aggregators).

Furthermore, to the sit-in analogy, I would never have heard of this "grep -R" bug if not for the novel protest medium. I think this alone gives credence to its effectiveness.

Same question I asked below, but: how did you play it on your resume? Did you just put "hiking in Europe", etc.? I'd love to do something like this, but I'm fearful what kind of damage it'd have on my resume.

How did you play it on your resume? I know in some circles, having a lapse in employment in your resume is about like having a lapse in insurance coverage; e.g. it's a red flag and can really hurt your chances of getting the job (economy no

True, the audience has a lot to do with it, but just because something "works" doesn't mean that it's optimal. Take for instance, one of the 1st things many might use the site for: downloading PHP. There's a downloads page, and then there's

Ok, you're able to accomplish your given task on php.net; it's functionally complete to you, someone who has probably visited it many times. It really isn't a very high standard to find the only text input box on the page and type in exactl

It's like an unwritten maxim: the more technical a site is, the more basic its design. A corollary might be: the more in-demand (famous) a person is, the more basic their site will be. Here's some "homepages" from programming gurus: Dennis

I agree with you, and would add that the precursor to the modern full-featured browser-based WWW was a CLI-based web (Lynx et. all), whereby the only means of formatting text were akin to what you get out of a word processor (linebreaks, bo

G+ is not a requirement for Google Play, I have it disabled across my domain and still access and use the store without issue.
