Specifically with SSH, I always recommend this: No passwords. Ever. Turn off PasswordAuthentication in sshd_config. Use SSH keys instead. Personally, I think if you're running SSH in this mode, it's safe to run it on the default p

You have a funny definition of vaporware. There's active work happening in public in the neovim repository, and a summary of the work to date here: http://neovim.org/news/2014/june/

Sure, I get that. However, I don't seem to have any viable ideas for a profitable business (or if I do, they don't come to mind when I'm in the mood to build something). :/

Very very very difficult. If you have to ask this question, you don't understand the monumental amount of work required. That's really blunt, but that's kind of how it is. A better, cheaper option would be to purchase a Cubes

While this is tangential to the topic, I would argue that there are better uses of time than figuring out how to get past a paywall for some article I likely won't remember in a week anyways. If it's really that important, I would

That's great, but is it really so common for HN readers to have WSJ subscriptions? I mean, unless people are upvoting things without reading them... It just seems unusual that so many WSJ links are getting to the front page lately.

The gist of the idea is waffle.io for estimation, time tracking, metrics, and invoicing on Github projects. It's a pretty critical need for my current day-job employer, and there's nothing else out there that fills this role, so I

Books like this scare the hell out of me. People can't even seem to use tried-and-true crypto libraries without screwing something up most of the time. Now you want them to write their own? This sounds like an absolute disaster waiting

I'm not sure I necessarily agree with the idea that these tools need to change. They seem to work well, and there's a huge variety of tools to choose from so everyone can choose the one that works best for them. I would, however,

In most enterprise environments, you have your choice between .NET and PHP. Given the option, I'll take PHP, thanks.

This. Laravel is vastly superior to Kohana in every way, and Laravel uses some of the Symfony components under the hood. If you want something a little more CMS-ey, Drupal 8 is being built with Symfony components as well, and provides a rea
