Great link, thanks! I've been looking for something like this.

This. That's pretty much exactly what I did, although it was more like 800x because bitcoin. It gave me quite a bit of peace of mind to know that even if I was wrong, I was wrong in a very reasonable way and not completely out of the g

By the time I had Sun stock, I would have had to pay someone to take it. Still loved working there. I cashed out a bunch of bitcoin for what I thought was going to be a near peak price at the time, $800. Fortunately, I never agree with mys

> This is a new type of problem we as a humanity have never faced before, so we need a different type of solution. Could you elaborate on that? How is it a new problem? I would think it's similar to problems with hardware components

I'm another of the 802, I suppose. 802 Seems fishy.

I've been using a standing desk for about five years now. I generally use it for 8 hours per day. The only time I don't is when I'm doing a video conference and that's just because I don't have an external camera at

I really dig the prompts. That's a useful feature by itself. edit: and the timer!

I was working on a control system for cattle feed mills. We had to wire into the system sensor-by-sensor and actuator-by-actuator as they continued to make feed. We started out with the entire system simulated, then gradually ended up with

That sounds pretty spectacular, alright. Although, I can't help wondering what it would have sounded like to set the robot arms to playing the William Tell Overture as a restart test. I mean the cars were already messed up...

Holy crap! That kind of failure (where some governing component drops out) is one of my favorite nightmares. Did you add an RF meter to the design?

I'll kick it off with my own. I've had a few, but the most dramatic was when I once changed the wrong line in a configuration script and ripped a three ton(U.S) mixer out of a concrete floor.

I work ~85% remote for a Bay Area startup, and I'm sure every company is different, but I would say roughly 9-5 with a strong expectation that if something happens over the weekend or I need to be on a call with a customer in India lat

See my comment above, but it could be that there was a compromised app on the phone snagging SMS messages and forwarding them to the attacker.

To offer one alternative explanation. It could be that the victim had some app on their phone which was logging SMS. The exploit may have involved sending the SMS code to the phone and forwarding it to the attacker. It's possible there

I do. I have several top level folders, Daily, Reference, Demo and Personal, then few links on the bookmark bar for Production, Staging and Tickets.

I write a DSL now and then. I also wrote Toadskin[1]. This is a good reminder for me to rescue it from the Internet Archive and stick it in GitHub along with the fix for the bug in '[' that it looks like I never published. The rea

What a neat idea. I'll try it out.

True, but it's also an incentive. If there were a way to compensate app developers for actual productivity gains then the incentives would be more aligned. This may actually be possible for bigger ticket, B2B apps. Maybe some sort of s

Great idea. This could save me all sorts of wasteful dithering. Looks like it's broken right now. When I try to download, I get a file called "download.txt" which contains the text "Internal Server Error"

First impressions: * I love this idea. This is basically what I use Digital Ocean for, and this reduces the steps. * I would like to see bitbucket sign-in and keys support. * I missed the server name field on my first pass. My eyes were dra

That does sound better, and I left out the rapid counting. Good point.

Hi Hacker_9. In Texas, where I vote, the machines don't even print paper. We just have to trust that the machine correctly recorded our vote. The reasons for the machines are, 1. cost cutting over manual counts, 2. profiteering by well

Nicely Done! I played with a simple OAuth2 flow and it worked great. I'm going to see about using it for all of our documentation. Business is probably too steep for us and we wouldn't want on-prem anyway. A Saas Pro plan might be
