maybe libraries are allowed, but I don't know any that can really turn this into a 30 minute project. And even researching libraries is hours of work :) If you have any suggestions for this on nodejs, I'll be happy to add it t

a nodejs solution was the requirement, but maybe if the org's leadership was comming from a Python/php background they might assume using a scafolding was a given. I don't know anything like django for nodejs though!

The instructions did not give an upper bound in terms of functional requirements, though the lower bound of "realistic use" was given! So yes, I would assume that includes things like full email validation round-trip too. Even jus

I was offered to interview at a company, they wanted me to do a coding "pre-screening" which consisted of creating a full-stack, and fully operational registration website from scratch. Maybe I'm a super slow architect and de

I recently switched to GitKraken from SourceTree. SourceTree has better features and workflow, but SourceTree performance is very VERY terrible. I'm talking 2+ minutes to wait for some operations to complete. Not sure why GitKraken ma

> So you and I get stuck with the fraud and they get paid, typically. Not true with credit cards, but very true with debit cards. Don't use/carry debit cards. have your bank re-issue you an ATM-only card instead.

I don't think this is related to Amazon's SLA. I had this happen to me too, but the package was marked delivered 2 days before it's expected delivery date, and was actually delivered 1 day prior. So yes, strange it's

Camps 1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive (well, except your inflammatory "naively" comment). Rest/JSON is a well understood, broadly adopted, low friction RPC format. NoSQL is not always MongoDB (for example, Google Datastore

As I said, I use recaptcha to prevent bots, which would also include preventing phishing. Ultimately, if you are writing A SaaS you have to roll your own at some point, but I agree it shouldn't include things like key derivation functi

password rules are enforced client-side too. You are right that a determined person could circumvent the client-side validation, but my thinking is that if someone really wants to do this, it doesnt really hurt me any. FYI I also do recapt

Glad to know that my self-designed system pretty much matches this "10/10" scheme :) the only difference I do, is I perform the Sha512 hash client-side, so that the user's plain-text password isn't sent to my server

Simpler than China vs communist, I see it more as a bureaucratic red-tape thing. For example in Thailand I see Guanxi all the time, granted that it's firmly in the Chinese sphere-of-influence. But I bet if you go to some Central Ameri

The Post's Article is saying that Snowden is responsible for leaking legal and secret information. As you say, the Post is responsible for publishing it, but the Post's actions do not absolve Snowden of his responsibilities. I did

absolute need for consistency is rare, unless deal with anything remotely similar to "financial transactions". Thankfully the author's premise of "NoSql == inconsistency" is wrong in at least one case. Google Cloud

if I understand the concept correctly, basically it's wrong because your index/seed values will be much more complex than the data you are supposedly extracting. So basically you have to already know the data you want in order to

thanks for the details, though my rant is more about this behavior in general, and not so much about this specific instance :)

A rant: I hate the "in crowd" subtext that goes on with all these postmortem posts. People in-the-know know what company and people are being discussed in these posts. Accordingly, "I know privileged information." banter

boo. doesn't include a comparison vs Google's NoSql SaaS offerings (Cloud DataStore and BigTable). i personally use Cloud DataStore and find it a great fit, wish there was some comparisons against it.
