No one ever considers the volume of photos and documents we are now creating. My parents probably took dozens of photographs when I was younger, and kept maybe one or two albums. Nowadays, most people have hundreds if not thousands of photo

Bingo... pretty trivial to stick an `rm -rf /*` shell call somewhere in your code. Not sure what difference it makes whether it's in a package manager file, or the code. Lesson... read the code before running it. Title of the post

As someone who keeps both fresh water and salt water aquariums, it makes perfect sense that this is completely plausible. I think most aquarist are well aware that bacteria are the most powerful thing in keeping our aquarium ecosystems in b

But this article does not analyze that. It's only scanning CVE's and most have already been patched when the CVE is issued. Of the 53 mentioned for Rails for instance, all have been patched. This article is incredibly misleading.

Bitcoin can already support retail confirmation within seconds without risk of fraud. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Myths#Point_of_sale_with_bitcoins...

Indeed. In fact those changes are known to decrease security. Those aspects of bitcoin where chosen on purpose and for good reason. People seem to make it out as though the bitcoin developers didn't know how to make faster confirmation

But each slice of pie is infinitely divisible, or nearly so, so it makes no difference. At the end of the day, the currency will hold some amount of economic value. For bitcoin at the moment, it's about $10 Billion USD. The total gross

Errr... you just said that $1000 buys you .10, 1.97 and 15.83 (those numbers don't even make sense anyhow), which means that .10 bitcoins equals 15.83 dogecoins in value. So what difference does that make... I can still spend 0.0001 bi

Exactly this! What the heck would you do with $150 million in cash... stick it in a $250,000 FDIC insured bank? Most people with this level of wealth diversify their holdings, which makes the total amount less liquid, but much more secure,

I get the feeling that most people commenting here haven't actually implemented an API that is under heavy use and has strict security requirements. One of the main problems with Basic Auth that the author fails to mention is that if your p

Data warehousing often involves star schemas, which means lots of joins in your queries. I'd love to see how a real world OLAP tool performs on this.

It's the same type of irresponsible behavior in any industry before it's regulated. If you can get away with building crap for cheap, why not. Here's my longer response: http://tumblr.crazydogsoftware.com/post/27412353720/when-the...

What process would you recommend? The process was pretty open market. Anyone was able to apply for a gTLD. Running a registry is not cheap or simple. If the price for application was lower, every Tom Dick and Harry would have been applying,

I wish people would inform themselves before blogging on topics they don't understand. ICANN has a dispute policy in place for this. Any community group can dispute a gTLD application that is targeted at them. So ".authors" can get together

`git tag -s` is all that's needed. The primary problem in your horror story is that you GPG signed a commit with a tag when you shouldn't have. When you tag with GPG, you are saying you do trust the history. You didn't review the commits

I agree that computers should have intuitive interfaces and should bend to people rather than the other way around. I also think that most computers should and will be more like iPads and iPhones, essentially smart appliances. However, just
