In 16 years, this has only happened once. I had an application running on 64-bit MySQL. We had a legacy app running on 32-bit Oracle. New CTO came along and made me switch the new app to Oracle since he didn't want to support two DB platforms. Didn't have ORM or Stored Procs (MySQL didn't support SP at the time). The SQL wasn't that complicated, but it took me a week to convert the whole thing. Downgrading to 32-bit DB slowed it down considerably. I left the company once the update went live.

I only use 1password across OSX, iOS and Windows. I share my vault via Dropbox as iCloud doesn't play nice w/ Windows yet. You can add custom fields into login records to save your 2FA stuff. Just flag the field as a password and it won't show in plain text until you "reveal" it. It's one of the few of these kinds of apps that are being integrated with other iOS apps at the moment (e.g. eBay, Uber and Disney). Safari already has an extension for 1password. I just tell it and Chrome to not ask to save passwords and log in via the extension.

So a company that no one cares about is purchasing another company that no one cares about?

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

You're the only one that can answer that question. Is it worth it _to you_ to learn with those old school restraints vs. modern architectures?

How about posting a direct link to the story? Oops, it's already been done.

You want hardware to swipe a card, that's compatible with tablets and smart phones, but isn't a dongle (https://squareup.com/reader)? Or, I suppose, their POS stand (https://squareup.com/stand)?

Do you just not want to use their software? You want to use the hardware with your own app on a tablet or phone?

There's a professor I know that claims he can get you back to 1994, but beware: he keeps calling everyone Marty and thinks there are people out to get him.
