Q: Chain-of-Command/Responsibility pattern for my simple API. A good idea?

ahmedI need to write a simple API for a project I'm working on. This API will be used to perform some server side actions that were triggered by AJAX calls. To make things easier for me, I thought of using the Chain-of-Command/Responsibility pattern. Here are more details about what I want to do: ...

(In relation to a conversation happening in the comments of a different answer that had nothing to do with his original question)
can't get much more passive-aggressive than that
Especially on meta. best I can tell you get 2-3 hours of actual concentration on a topic before it becomes a free-for-all

@Ampt ironic how similar that situation is to one that recently played out in our meta. Part of me was tempted to open up the ion cannons and fire away. There's plenty of easy pickings to blast after. I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt. but sometimes you just need to be smacked upside the head and told flat out "No, you're wrong." When that message comes from outside the "administration" it can carry more weight. But in this case, I don't think he's going to hear it.
 
user41796
hey @WorldEngineer - how's the job hunt coming along?
 
user20683
@GlenH7 rejiggering my resume as we speak
 
user20683
then pelting it off to a new round
 
user20683
I think I've been go at this backwards but I have high hopes
 
user41796
@WorldEngineer bueno. Do you want more feedback? What orgs are you targetting?
 
user20683
2:22 AM
@GlenH7 Canadian and Northeast
 
user20683
local too
 
user41796
tailor your resume more carefully for the long-distance applications then. Their first question will be "why does the guy want to move?"
 
user20683
that question has a simple answer
 
user20683
girlfriend
 
user20683
want to be closer
 
user20683
2:24 AM
that easy
 
user20683
also I'm tired of this country
 
user41796
regrettably, you can't put "GF" as your reason to move in your letter. You can let it slip during the phone interview, but ....
 
user20683
aye

there in lies the rub

Canada's full-time hire requirements are a bit different than US, afaik. Something to research
 
user20683
I figure the best answer is this: I want to explore new horizons and push myself outside my comfort zone
 
user41796
The better answer is to lie a little. Not a lot, just a little.
 
user20683
the best lies are the ones that are true
 
user41796
:-) Pick out something the company does well. Build a storyline around why you're interested in that.
 
user20683
that was my original plan
 
user20683
2:27 AM
see I've worked a long time in retail but that's taught me something valuable: Infrastructure is KING
 
user41796
All of your cover letters will be tailored to each firm you apply to. But your resume should remain fairly generic for each
 
user20683
thus I can apply to companies that do services and spin it as such
 
user20683
right

I just finished a week during which my primary task was to complete a self-evaluation, the results of which will be reviewed and compared with my manager's own evaluation of me and the result directly correlated with my yearly pay increase. The result: I feel like I've been in a job interview all week for my own paycheque, and I'm currently getting ridiculously drunk.
 
user20683
it will likely remain almost the same, maybe change the order of technologies to match theres and the like
 
user20683
2:28 AM
once I have a job, the metrics begin
 
user20683
then when I need to do a self eval, I can do things like regression analysis
 
user41796
@WorldEngineer yes, that's a very good idea. Make it easy on them to say "yes, let's put him into the interview queue."
 
user20683
and make all those pretty charts for management
 
user20683
also spelling "theirs" would be good
 
user41796
@Brant Props, mate, Props. No harm in burning off the stress from the week
 
user41796

@WorldEngineer I'm laughing because I'm going back through my posts to see if I jacked that one up.

Actually, by "all week" I mean all of last week, and I'm still trying to deal with the stress

@Brant Victor Frankl's "Man's search for meaning" is currently putting a lot of that in perspective for me.

And I hate when I shut down chat like that ....
 
user41796
@Brant - at my last gig, the turning point was when they dumped the 4th FTE in my lap without even hinting that it may be too much. It didn't help that the 4th item was a reeking death-march. That's when I knew it was time to hit the open market and see what the next role had to offer.
 
Brant
Brant
FTE?
 
user41796
2:36 AM
FTE == Full Time Effort
 
Brant
Brant
Ah
 
user41796
Essentially, they wanted me covering 4 full time jobs. Without a bump in salary
 
user41796
I had been juggling 2 - 3 before that. None of which were super critical, so delays could be forgiven. But the 4th was super critical, and it lacked the gravitas to justify delays in the other 3.

@WorldEngineer that answer is so lacking in substance, giving something simpler tends to assuage curiosities: I dislike the city I'm in, due to <thing the target doesn't suffer from>. Or "I have friends/family there and would like to settle in the area as I've little ties here"
Simple, direct, and relatable.
Those reasons never got questioned in interviews the two times I got work cross country

Q: What To Do If I've Found a Vulnerability In a Possible Future Employers Site?

johnI've been self employed for a long time now and have recently decided that PHP development within a company is the route I'd like to go down. I had an initial interview/meeting yesterday with a potential employer and It seems like a great place to work... so I wake up today and start to do a bit...

security ethics vulnerabilities
Talk about a bad situation to be in
I might bite my lip until the interview process completed, if they hired me I'd point it out my first day as though I just stumbled across it, if not I'd point it out when they reject just because they should be notified. Frankly it's a bit of a huge risk to take telling them up front because a majority of places, especially large companies like he says this one is, would let that bubble up the management chain and non-technical people would be like "This guy's clearly untrustworthy!"
On the other hand, you probably should just outright tell them, especially given it's banking, and if they reject you based on that you really didn't want the job anyway
But then the guy says he wants to work as a corporate developer in PHP, so knowing everybody around him is writing security vulnerabilities is something he's going to want to get used to
 
Thomas Owens
Thomas Owens
He doesn't have the job yet, so "quit your job and get a new one" doesn't apply. Too bad.
 
Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens Heh yeah. Realistically I wouldn't want to work somewhere with such a large vulnerability if their reaction to it being pointed out was "Whaaat?? You Hacker! Get out!" and not "Oh crap, good catch! We're going to fix that ASAP!"

Sorting network
A sorting network is an abstract mathematical model of a network of wires and comparator modules that is used to sort a sequence of numbers. Each comparator connects two wires and sorts the values by outputting the smaller value to one wire, and the larger to the other. The main difference between sorting networks and comparison sorting algorithms is that with a sorting network the sequence of comparisons is set in advance, regardless of the outcome of previous comparisons. This independence of comparison sequences is useful for parallel execution of the algorithms. Despite the simplicity...

Not only are I/O operations performed concurrently with computing, but also, in multiprocessors, several computing operations are done concurrently. A major problem in the design of such a computing system is the connecting together of the various parts of the system (the I/O devices, memories, processing units, etc.) in such a way that all the required data transfers can be accommodated.

In a presence of a different claim, none of these answers help reader to pick of two opposing opinions.

Amusing bit from a question...

there's more than one way to do statement delimiters in python. In perl, there's only one (and obvious) way to terminate a statement.
