Atlassian uses a model similar to what you're describing. If you buy a license, you get access to the source code, but you can't redistribute that source code. I don't know if that can really be considered (as the author refers it) "open so

I've had several banks hassle me about my TIN, and was outright told that I couldn't use it to open an account because their system simply wouldn't let them enter the number because it was expecting SSN format. YMMV

Right, and that's the last release series that will support 1.8.7. Thus, you'll want Ruby 1.9 eventually. Besides Rails compatibility, 1.9 is faster, includes lots of nice new syntaxes and methods for doing things, better encoding support,

Minor nitpick, Apple has always taken a 30% cut of in-app purchases. Amazon never used in-app purchases for transactions, I believe they used to have some sort of in-app WebView that let users buy books on the amazon.com website. Apple to

Meteor is open source, and with one command you can bundle your app into a self-contained node.js app which can, of course, run anywhere you can run node.js.

Have you never seen a web site that uses a fixed width layout before?

Clutch has nothing to do with this though. It's ALWAYS been possible to throw a UIWebView into your app, load a screen from a web server that you control, and replace it with porn after it's approved. Clutch simply adds a few tools on top o

Am I the only one that hates the "cloud" buzzword? I'm trying to wade through the meaningless crud in this article, and I can't quite pinpoint what this article is advocating. It seems like he's simply suggesting to run your database, messa

His tone when he talks about extensions modifying the DOM of random sites, injecting CSS, etc was funny; almost as if they have some god-given right to control exactly how their site will appear on my computer. As long as I control the brow

Push notifications do not use UDID, they use a different device token.

Normally I'd prefer to be shared a Google Docs document by a coworker, but if they'd rather write it in Word and email me a .doc or .docx file, I have no problem with that. Gmail makes it extremely easy to view those files online, and it's

Not to mention the fact that the Nuclear (uranium) fuel cycle is much more established than the more immature and unproven thorium fuel cycle is.

There was an article on HN recently that demonstrated why vectoring is completely unviable for this: http://www.pushing-pixels.org/2011/11/04/about-those-vector-... In short, vector graphics scaled up simply can't compare to graphics that

I really like how they reveal this information when it comes to sorting email into regular inbox and Priority Inbox. It's really cool and useful to see why Gmail put a particular email into my priority inbox.

Sure, QR codes are always a "good use case" when it comes to this. They ARE faster than typing in a link or searching. Doesn't do much good when no one uses the code, though.

Especially when you consider the investment Apple has already made into web services that side-step the cellular establishment (iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Push Notifications, App Store, etc). They don't need cell towers, everything works

It wouldn't be possible if you government didn't cooperate. They're just as much to blame in this case.

This is fantastic! I can't wait until it's extended with more gestures for next track, etc, but this initial version is so awesome! Nice work.

I personally love the syntax of Objective-C. I find it very readable. I wish I could use it more often.

And it looks like a fantastic WYSIWYG editor, at that. I'm definitely going to replace my hacked together contenteditable editor with it.

This is NOT a vulnerability in Rails. If you've ever used Rails, you'll probably be aware that it has several features for preventing things like this from happening (attr_accessible, attr_protected, etc). GitHub failed to use those methods

This sort of behavior shouldn't be rewarded, though. He publicly exploited a 0-day vulnerability. He should've responsibly disclosed it to GitHub, and instead he revealed it to the public.

by cmelbye 15y ago
The Rails team essentially argued that it isn't on them to secure sites built with Rails. Rails provides tools to avoid this, and GitHub chose to not use them, so this is a vulnerability in GitHub. They should be using attr_accessible, and

If we're discussing how adults act, then I definitely would not refer to reporting a crime as "tattling" (I might expect that from a child in Elementary school, though). Zero-day attacks are extremely irresponsible, and this is probably aga

I'm confused, you say that it would be difficult to accurately picture search traffic, then you say that this is a clear milestone. Also, I'm sure that the grandparent comment poster is relaxed, it's rather condescending and irrelevant to t

GitHub's API can do low-level modifications of git repositories. It probably supports JSONP.
