Who said anything about course locking? Most databases support row level locking (think lock user row so each user cannot submit multiple orders at the same time). And I think you are misunderstanding CSRF. As the name implies it is protect

The problem isn't idempotency as that just solves the problem of multiple synchronous submits (If order submitted what happens if order is submitted again). The real problem is the asynchronous nature of the web where both submissions

I made a similar comment elsewhere in the thread, but lets assume it's not the Chinese government and it's something accidentally deployed or a hack by some unknown entity. Why is the code still running a week later? It doesn&#x27

I think the thing everyone is forgetting is that if it isn't state sponsored/approved then why hasn't it been turned off (as far as I am aware the attack is still ongoing). If it was a hack, surely China Unicom should have fi

Where in London are you and which provider are you with? Pretty much all cabinets in London now support FTTC so it should be pretty easy to get 80/20 and plenty of ISPs are offering unlimited FTTC for around £20/month. You might w

What surprises me is that this contingency was not already in place prior to the Columbia accident. Was it budget constraints or did they really think it was that unlikely that a shuttle would be rendered unable to return from orbit and nee

Just to comment on your example, that method shouldn't exist as it adds no value to the codebase - it is purely redundant code. Especially if you were to rename it to convertTextToUpperCase. The only situation where the method would ma

The top answer to this question on Quora is the best I've seen. http://www.quora.com/Engineering-Management/Why-are-software... What really surprises me is that everyone accepts that there have to be estimates. While estimates are useful
