"When I started to develop this tool, I just used SQL, because it was the only database I knew"

You may want to correct that.

golgappi··on Hacked Celeb Pics Made Reddit Enough Cash to Run Its Servers for a Month
Exactly. Even if it was more, the article seems to be extremely eager to blame reddit with excessive maliciousness just cause reddit deleted the subreddit after 6 days and not immediately. Any regular site member knows that any subreddit that violates the rules is given one and only one warning. Once TheFappening released all pics of all celebs on the first day, nobody was sure that one of them was a minor. A day later reddit gave the warning, and all of the minor celebrity's pics were "more or less" removed. Aside from the minor's nudes thing, so far the reason for which the subreddit was banned aren't part of reddit's policies, which is probably why they decided to let it run until they started having legal issues. What here is so malicious that it suddenly makes reddit worthy of an article-full of criticism on a major tech magazine? I don't know.

sure. In simple terms, is there a way to browse recent pasties and set duration of a pastie?

This seems tempting. But i can't live without gaming on a big screen :(
golgappi··on Show HN: Netcat-based command line pastebin
This looks like a fantastic concept. My only question is in most internal pastebins you can see the pastebin history on the client end. In termbin its a single div. Is there a way to make that happen here?
golgappi··on Show HN: Famous Outfits
I'm wondering too. AFAIK the culture of entertainment/fashion channels, celeb journalism and tabloids are much more rampant than US than any other nation, which is confusing too, since I haven't seen anyone pick up those magazines when waiting in line for grocery checkouts :/ Something is not right

Not to contradict the views in this article, but I wish we had more female hackers. They could then leak pics of male celebrities and women could benefit from leaked nudes for once. Yes, we need more female hackers.

OMFG is not a standard abbreviation. If you are making a tool that can be used worldwide, best to stick with words and slangs that are universally known.

Moreso, best to stick with terms that are acceptable to people of all cultures and backgrounds. The word 'fucking' may be a light-hearted slang to a 20 year old american, but it may just be offensive to someone older living in the UAE.

Professionalism, though not perfect, does in fact help in making people from various background agree and understand good ideas by being austere, simple and well-defined.

golgappi··on How to Keep Photos of Your Naked Body Off the Internet
When you open most accounts these days they ask for your cellphone number. Why then is two-factor authentication not enabled by default?

IMO people are lazy. If two factor auth is enabled by default, even if it irks them most non IT people would not take the pain to disable it. Same lies true the other way round.

golgappi··on Sorry About Your Startup
"Then don’t put it online. We love you, but we’ve heard it already."

I don't come across much unheard of articles on the internet as it is. Why so critical of this subsection of articles that you're going as far as telling them not to put their stuff online?

Read it like what it is - a blog article. Its not a technical paper or a journal submission that should be rejected on grounds of incorrect assumptions/conclusions, error in experimenting or something that's previously done.

golgappi··on No skin thick enough: The daily harassment of women in the game industry
I guess you read what you want to read :)

It's just like any other IT guy's day. Go to work, do your job, fuck up a bit, say sorry, give others a hard time when they fuck up :P But seriously, no difference apart from the fact that I can see men at work are very cautious around me as far as cracking jokes is concerned. But I can't really blame them with all these sexual harassment out of nothing stories floating around everywhere now, can I?

golgappi··on No skin thick enough: The daily harassment of women in the game industry
as an anonymous woman in tech, I guess what he is trying to say that women need to stop thinking that all the unfairness in the tech world is directed to them. Men suffer too. Yes, women mostly suffer because they are women and because stereotypes suck. But that doesn't mean that women should be segregated as a group that is the only victim of harassment.
