Has RoR really started forcing you to write unit tests? By the thousands? I've written several RoR apps in the past where I didn't unit test at all. Perhaps I misunderstood you.

Author here. This app is a sibling to my previous firewall, Radio Silence ( http://radiosilenceapp.com ). Quite a few customers have asked for a whitelist-based firewall instead of the blacklist-based one, so I decided to give it a try. Wha

That's actually a very likely explanation. Thank you.

Does someone know the reason behind the poor quality of audio coming from Felix? You'd think they had the resources to put in a decent microphone, and data transfer -- judging by the high quality video -- shouldn't be a problem.

This sounded awfully much like Apple's app store process. Different details, but a horrible and unintuitive experience nonetheless. Is it simply difficult to make a good developer signup workflow, or are both of these companies unmotivated

I think dragging from the dock always just removes the apps from the dock. At least that's the default behavior, and I have not found a way around it.

Reading the original "Show HN" thread about Bitcoinica is still haunting. So many predictions that came true. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2973301

On Safari, the whole top left corner is blocked by a sticky "floating" youtube video. The video can't be played or closed. All clicks fall through to the page elements under the video. http://i.imgur.com/54HB1.png

Does your rootredirect service actually attract paying customers? I'm genuinely interested to know.

I wonder if arbitrage trading is anywhere as feasible with the real-money auction house as with the play-money one. So far, I have probably spent more time in the auction house than in the game itself, buying low and selling high. Currently

Well, it does have a lot more plausible deniability than a straightforward backdoor. Which, of course, proves absolutely nothing.

Cracking the passwords from the hashes is not just fast, it's ridiculously fast. I can't believe a site like LinkedIn stores their passwords this way in 2012. guesses: 11516 time: 0:00:21:36 0.00% (3) c/s: 27126G trying: aptewwod - a

Thank you so much. I've waded through plenty of unformatted RFCs this week, and this is everything I've hoped for.

I sold each one of my towers at level 200 and continued to beat each wave, towerless. To compensate, it seems that the amount of money you get from selling a tower is nowhere near the stated amount :).

Has this been an actual problem for you? I decided to skip the chargeback shenanigans by offering my customers a no-questions-asked money back policy. So far, less than 1% of my customers have asked for a refund. I suspect that those who wa

The vulnerability probably also allowed the attacker to edit the created_at and updated_at columns in the ssh key table.

Making dozens of quick things to try them out (and then abandoning them) isn't such a bad strategy when searching for a good business idea. Obsessing over the backend of an mvp might be a net negative.

Covering the whole solution space would be an enormous (as compared to just huge) undertaking. But if you limit yourself to the types of passwords people usually use, you can prune it down quite a bit. The currently available databases are
