elliptical··on Ask HN: Found security flaw in site, what should I do?
In the age of any website getting hacked, take your steps carefully. But then dont make a business of this discovery, but assist. go ahead inform them by phone call, keep logs of your conversation.
elliptical··on Q for Programmers: Why search for code, when you can sweat and code yourself
Radical: There is policy followed, do not use code from the internet, just write your own code. Forgetting the above, I just want to know the psychology part, on why would someone keep taking libraries from the internet, after being repeatedly said not to do so
elliptical··on Bump – useful technology or another redundant service?
Redundant..they should have got it live 8 years ago.
elliptical··on Q for Programmers: Why search for code, when you can sweat and code yourself
Not when you have suffered a hack. You could pull a code out from google, it would be safe, but certainly not from anyone.
elliptical··on Textify: Convert images to HTML text
And the purpose?
elliptical··on Who is the better coder, the one who hand codes or relies on the IDE help
That is sometimes, assuming the scenario for an interview.
elliptical··on Who is the better coder, the one who hand codes or relies on the IDE help
Correct..Using an IDE for coloring, matching, highlighting okay. But using an IDE such as DreamWeaver and rely on its coding structure and when asked to hand code, wonder what the syntax of the mysql query statement should be, is not very welcoming. If this is the case, they cannot properly debug a code written by someone.

what is your opinion?

If it is the testing process for an interview then?

hmm...even if they cannot code or remember the syntax without the help of the IDE?
elliptical··on Who is the better coder, the one who hand codes or relies on the IDE help
I asked someone to hand code. This guy was so used to Dreamweaver, that he could not just remember certain code, like mysql query. But on the DMW, he was fine, clicking away, getting stuffs done.

So the best coders are hand coders?
