That's really just a question of trust. If you know what Composer is, you trust it. 'apt-get install whatever' is just as magically scary and dangerous.

They could have encrypted your password and decrypted it for that email. Still poor practices but there's nothing here to indicate what your title states. The bottom of your article also suggests people use MD5 and salts, so clearly you are

Another day, another "Problems with PHP" article. Seems like everyone has to toss their hat into the ring. If someone were to write a "Problems with PHP and Proper Password Hashing" post it would be #1 for weeks!

I have no idea what your product does and I'm not inclined enough to sign-up (especially with my facebook account) to find out more. Why is "@bubbles" all over the place? You don't even own the Twitter handle.

Because the people who ran the product are more useful working on other projects than pursuing something the company clearly felt was a failure.

Umm, unless they edited it since your post, 2^30 bytes is the correct definition of a Gigabyte. edit - Oh you're being pedantic about GB vs. GiB. Too bad in computer science, GB /means/ GiB. Besides, for folks like you, you get get a "free"

@ankrgyl > every statement was executed in its own transaction. I do not see any begin(), rollback() or commit()'s in your code. According to the mysql-python docs, http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html#my-data-disappe... , auto

You seem to be missing the main reason why people have an issue with MemSQL. The issue are quotes like this on your website and video: "MEMSQL IS 30 TIMES FASTER THAN MYSQL." It's an extremely invalid and biased comparison. You're quite lit

> If you want to throw an anchor behind a speed boat, you can do it, though we don't recommend it. So, what your video is saying, is that your speedboat is 80,000 faster than MySQL with an anchor attached. Seems like a fair comparison.

Haha, was just going to say the same. Got some "error establishing database connection". Looks like we broke his server.

Yeah, he could most likely get away with charging higher. How do you suggest a company test out pricing though? I mean I think that's exactly what Amazon has done and they get criticized for doing so (since they do it in a A/B fashion) I gu

So, basically, your gripe is their billing contains line-item entries towards phone service. If they were to simply not show you these and instead have: "DSL Service: $40. Taxes & Fees: $7.99" you would be happy? The same provisioning t

Would need to test it to verify but most companies based upon user-generated content will swap out your affiliate ID for their own. If not, they should be starting to do so :)

Great article but I have to wonder.. is it actually relevant today? With the huge demand for engineers and the utter lack of even somewhat qualified engineers, I wonder if people actually are still having a tough time landing a job?

What makes your job board better than all the others? Reach out to people posting jobs on other boards telling them about your site. Reach out to tech recruiters telling them about your site.

Something is broken, at least for me. It always resorts to XHR-polling instead of websockets. http://pure-waterfall-1016.herokuapp.com/socket.io/1 Always returns xhr-polling method which really isn't ideal for this.
