I've had a lot of success with denyhosts. As a bonus, all of my machines with publicly facing SSH synchronize the generated ruleset.

This feature actually came together very quickly and in large part due to volunteer after hours efforts. I miss code search too, but it's not fair to compare the upkeep of a production service to small one-off art projects.

I'm curious to see about the language as well. I'm visiting MUC next week (out from the bay area) and I wouldn't mind meeting some HNfolk, but I don't think my 5.2-word Deutsche vocabulary will cut it.

A friend of mine had his account marked dead for some reason. He had no idea and his comments and submissions were effectively blackholed for weeks. He eventually stopped participating much in HN because of the lack of interaction. Once I n

You do know that your Google searches don't go to Mountain View, right? Google has datacenters all over the world. I think you know better, and I'd love to see some actual numbers from you.

This is common practice if the queries appear to be originating from worms like Conficker, etc. Others have reported that this behavior of Chrome's can set off false IDS alarms for the same reason.

michaeldwan, why are you posting techcrunch linkbait here? Since you were quoted as saying that you know your exporter went over the API limit, this seems like non-news. It's unlikely that you were even blocked by a human. EDIT: it's pretty

So, per your admission, Microsoft's software monitors user behavior on a competitor's site (among others) and sends it back to the mothership, then they use that information to tune Bing's algorithm. How many of these data points do you thi

So the "hiybbprqag" thing was just a fluke, huh? Citation needed.

Good on you for citing ethics, but your point misses the mark. Modern Blackberries include components from Samsung, Texus Instruments, Marvell, Cyprus, Renesas, Infineon, and dozen of other companies that may or may not be "ethically" manuf

Today, Mozilla is using SeaMicro’s older 512-core machines to handle downloads of its Firefox browser Can anyone comment on the accuracy of this? "Handling downloads" is pretty vague, but still it seems like a pretty braindead job, and I

Nope. Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, 7, and 8 on Windows 2000 SP4; Windows XP SP2 and SP3; Windows Server 2003 SP2; Windows Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2; Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2; and Windows

If you're already using laptops in your practice, you might take a look at ElationEMR. I got a chance to try their browser-based app a few months ago and was impressed with how well they handle data entry. For all that I like my iPad, typin

It's also pretty great as a pre-commit hook (invoked on the CLI). I've only had 2-3 false positives in about a year of using it as such.

Well, in fairness, Heroku is now the Heroku for Python. The new Cedar stack (unofficially) supports Python, and some of the frameworks are already being tested on it ( http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_cookbook/dev/... ) I mana

Lots of the content (and most of the styling) was adapted from here: http://developer.fellowshipone.com/patterns/code.php I'm fond of the original because it also includes some great UI design patterns.

ØMQ came to mind when I read the doc, too, but: * UDP could be useful for hole-punching firewalls * In most networks, multicast traffic will be filtered at the WAN boundary * The nodes in most big DHTs aren't reliable anyway The eventing

by brandon 16y ago
Why, exactly? To your point, it uses UDP on a non-standard port; forwarding the traffic won't expose any of your existing behind-the-firewall services. Anyhow, one of the draws of UDP for this stuff is that it's possible to do clever hole p

I'd love to see a DHT network with some level of attention to durability . Having played a lot with Kademlia, the biggest bummer was that in practice, stored resources had a lifetime of about 4 hours max, and that was when the requester

So, again, I don't know anything about the device in question, so this is all conjecture... but : Even given that OTA flashing is possible, why bother? The device has no means of waking the user without a phone in bluetooth range, so what'

If you guys haven't already got a relationship with TÜV, you might consider talking to them about certifying your next revision. They handled all our regulatory (domestic and int'l) with a lot less difficulty (and deadline slipping) than do

There have been several schedule slips. A previous rant of mine details a few: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1758288 Addendum: I'm totally still buying it.

That's putting a lot of stock into the device itself. Conjecture: I think it's more likely that the device is something of an accelerometer paired with a bluetooth radio that can nearly continuously feed the phone/app with movement data so

by brandon 16y ago
The problem might not be strictly shipping related. Depending on the type of bluetooth radio packaged internally, the device may have needed FCC-type registration. Of course, an FCC ID is only good in the USA. In Europe, you need a CE mark.

I noticed a similarity, too. But it's just that, a similarity. Note that the Fedora guys superimpose an F over a tilted lemniscate where the MH guys are superimposing a plus. Nevermind the color differences and lack of a teardrop background

Well, this isn't the whole picture, but SHA is faster than DES. Certainly that'd be a factor from a brute-force perspective.

In this case, the key corresponds to the filename containing the migration statements. Further, consider if your company had three deployments of your product. One for bleeding edge testing, one for staging/QA, and live. You'd want the sche
