Hash maps are O(1)

2FA wouldn't have necessarily solved this, if the hackers had access to an engineer's ssh keypair (e.g stolen laptop) they could clone repos as they pleased. 2FA isn't a silver bullet.

>Time to read up on some British History. The last time this happened

No it wasn't. This has never happened.

It's really hard to conclude that anything so tangentially related and which happened such a long time ago could possibly be relevant.

I am an EU citizen living in the UK for 11 years (my whole adult life) so this is from my perspective. The campaign and reasons given for leaving were extremely xenophobic. There was a lot of talk of EU citizens "clogging up" the healthcare system and emigrating to the UK to claim benefits instead of working. Almost none of this was based on fact but it almost certainly swung the vote.

Other reasons such as sovereignty were also given but most polls indicate that unhappiness with immigration was the main reason people voted to leave the EU. This in itself isn't necessarily xenophobic, but given the enormous economic benefits of immigration into the UK it's difficult to conclude otherwise.

This sort of article makes me angry. Facebook are trying to come up with solutions to fight a real problem and this person is just saying "I don't trust Facebook".

It seems from the article that security tokens were not unique and being generated with a 20 millisecond granularity, furthermore the security tokens were the only thing required to access files (no username etc).

If this is correct then this is astonishingly poor design and this problem was completely predictable and obvious.

This. As a Maltese person who has been following her for a very long time it is frustrating to see the way in which she is being mischaracterised in the international media. She was well known in Malta for making false allegations, character assassinations, mocking people from what she considered to be a low social status, publishing revenge porn to humiliate people and so on.

It seems unfair to me that you are being downvoted. I am a Maltese developer and my thoughts mirror yours. The international media has taken a slant on this (assuming that her murder is connected to the Panama Papers) which may turn out to be correct but is far from certain.

That's fair enough, but I think your personal circumstances are unusual (and unhealthy). For the majority of people sleeping 8 hours is practical advice because they work 8 not 12 hours, leaving them with 4 extra hours, which is enough time to go to the gym, spend with family etc..

How and why would you work for 12 hours in a day? I don't understand why anyone with choose that life for an extended period of time.

I'd never heard of that until now. Extremely interesting.

One thing I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned much is the Django Rest Framework (DRF). If you're building a CRUD-heavy website with very separate back and frontend (no django templates) then the fact that DRF can give you a big hyperlinked REST API for free is something I've found extremely useful.

I tend to use Django for big websites and Flask for small websites/microservice APIs.
