Wire it up to your bedroom light and you've got an instant DDOS alert system. Or a disco before it gets to that point.

That didn't stop a bunch of services selling 'free phpBB' installs littered with malware advertisements, to people who didn't know how to deploy a PHP app.

Honestly, although phpBB's design leaves a hell of a lot to be desired (messy, table-based, complex, not pretty), the benefit I see from this as an open source competitor is that it's Rails and MVC. This is a sight for sore eyes for someone

I agree, and it's easy to tell just in the way you can describe it. The first thing video/audio chat brings to mind to anyone is 'Skype in the browser'. That's still cool and there is definitely more potential than that, but just having a

Given this is ruby code, I think it's acceptable, and well-structured enough to be understandable. While the implementation itself might be a bit 'eugh' because of the meta-programming involved, there was enough thought put into code orga

Are you basing this on how often the vulnerabilities get reported and upvoted on HN? http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=dja... Django has had its fair share of patches. This is no reflection on the quality of the pro

window.setInterval(function() { $('img').mouseover(); }, 500); So you can catch the ones that haven't been created yet.

I really wanted to order a Nexus 4. I couldn't, so I got an iPhone 5 instead. I'd consider that a failure on Google's part, for a total lack of communication, and for seeming conflicts of interest when the same device is offered subsidised

To someone from the UK, 'Tealeaf Academy' implies that it's a school for thieves. Tealeaf being Cockney rhyming slang for 'thief'.

I think the example for that is bad, when you look at what it's trying to explain. def foo_matches? @foo == :bar end It returns true if it does, and false if it doesn't, as opposed to true or nil. Which is miles better than

I've encountered it once with a form, although it was a while ago and if I saw the code again I might be able to identify what was wrong. In that case it was probably a poor choice of element to attach to that caused the callback to be fire

Or reference HTTParty from git, which has been fixed, in your Gemfile: https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty/commit/53a812426dd321... Correction: Although this might not have much to do with multi_xml if that security risk isn't mitigate

We have those quite a lot in the UK (along various motorways), although they're typically only turned on when congestion starts to build up.

> The code produced simply doesn't matter. Bitrot is accepted. Nobody cares. It's a real bug-bear of mine that, in the profession as a whole, this attitude is rarely criticised, and sometimes even praised (especially on HN with the JUST

To be fair, prepared statements have been a solved problem in PHP for a fair long time now, and so it's totally okay to call out the notion of "quickly learning from mistakes" when a subset of that community still doesn't use or encourage

When I use these things (and even pagination sometimes), I might find something I like, but it's so easy to browse ahead that I'll skip over it in the hope that I'll find something I like even more further on. At that point, there's no easy

Of course. My main point wasn't the use of querySelector per se, but the ability to access the exact DOM element(s) you need without crazy querying or traversal. While the DOM API isn't perfect by any means, and jQuery fills that gap really

I totally disagree. They weren't thorough enough to really bother with much of the text anywhere, given the amount of lorem ipsum and many-gendered John Smiths. Content wasn't really top of the list of priorities, it seems, which I think

From the sounds of it, and in reference to everyone using the term 'patent troll' here, I think this particular instance could be more appropriately labelled as 'patent scamming'.

It seems easy to blame the magic finders for this (because they seem magic), or ActiveRecord alone, but really the problem is that 'secure by default' can trick you into thinking the framework will do it all for you. It probably will most,

I think it's nice that you can basically document the expected response, in the form of creating a type with a struct. In pseudo-code-ish: type FacebookUser struct { ProfileID int Name string .... } js

If it was in the UK it'd never happen anyway, unless the kid buys fake ID and sends the info to the network to enable adult content. "You must not use this phone to falsely identify yourself as an 18 year old."

I wouldn't be surprised if they were confusing to the smart kid who read them and found contradictory statements. Things like not using your phone in certain situations but also never ignoring calls from parents. I wouldn't do it. It feel

Ignorance may certainly be bliss but dismissing something because it presumably didn't happen in America takes that idea a bit too far.

You can also use Ctrl+T to get the status of a running command, instead of faffing about with pids and kill.
