It came from the same developer. The mere fact that he was that sloppy in securing a publicly-facing service to leave a vulnerability so severe and so easily discovered should have you asking: why should I believe that anything else in this

Beginners and also C++ programmers, expert and beginner alike. Even though it’s just as misleading in C++. This: int a = 0; int& x = a, y = a; declares x to be a reference, but y an independent variable. Similarly, a templa

Might have something to do with the fact that the dialogue was apparently originally written in Polish, which usually omits subject pronouns (they can be inferred from the verb form). If the translator was Polish, they might have carried th

BitKeeper has been available under Apache license for several years now. It's interesting that they didn't choose it. Not enough third-party use to justify adoption?

The Dat people are notoriously opposed to blockchain hype. That doesn't mean you should actually go build anything on top of their projects (for reasons to do with what the top post in this thread touch on—they don't know much ab

I considered, especially since this is a Show HN, to not say anything and let it slide, but considering the potential long tail for negative effects, where web dev circles are already filled with mildly annoying falsehoods and crazy beliefs
