For Ruby I definitely recommend RPush: https://github.com/rpush/rpush . Helios hasn't been updated in a very long time and has a massive list of unresolved issues.

Nice to see more open source push notification tools, and the quality is generally getting better. The main drawbacks to PushServer seems to be that it's not cross platform, and it doesn't interact with Apple's feedback servi

http://www.isrubyfastyet.com/ seems to show that Rails+JRuby performance remains disappointingly bad. The memory usage is kind of nuts too, not sure why it's so high. Edit: This page explains the high memory usage and

It's nice that all these hosting companies are dropping their prices so much. However, I've found it extremely hard to compare them against each other. I wish someone would put together a site that compared each cloud provider whe

The reason for the large number of transactions is that so many people are mining Dogecoin. Most miners automatically sell their mined Dogecoin for Bitcoin, and new Dogecoin blocks are mined roughly every 60 seconds. Several pools have as m

Piracy is actually very high on iOS, especially when it comes to paid apps: "when Wind-up Knight for iOS was a paid app, the piracy rate reportedly went 80%" ( http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/07/piracy-rates

Agreed. The headline is misleading. The game only briefly broke the top 100 in 8 countries (out of 138), and the highest paid app rank it ever reached in the US was 216. Source: appannie.com

It's actually very possible for hackers to still decode many of the passwords. An attacker could simply put together a dictionary of 10,000 common passwords then hash them against each user's salt value and see they they get a match for tha

I remember being perplexed looking at the intrade exchange pricing during the last presidential election. I wasn't the only one. Nate Silver and Paul Graham wondered about it too http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/24/oct-23-t

Interesting. I didn't know that detail but it explains a lot. Hopefully it won't be too long until you address this!

The OAuth Spec actually does address white listing redirect_uri's. This threat is discussed in section 4.1.5 of the OAuth 2.0 spec here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-threatmodel-0... Oddly, Facebook has chosen not to fol

Doesn't this overlook the issue of Heroku's random load balancing system? This article seems to suggest that the number of Dyno's required for more load scales linearly with load but, as Heroku now admits, the routing is random and therefor

My experience with Coinbase has been amazing. I tried to buy Bitcoins around a year ago and it seemed nearly impossible to do with USD. Here's how buying them through Coinbase went... 1. Signed up and linked my bank account 2. Bought

This is clever. The Chrome team likely made a major oversight when they made the decision to introduce the 1;mode=block value for the X-XSS-Protection header. Interesting to see that Facebook responded by disabling the XSS protection header

I wonder what the most practical but effective defense against these kinds of exploits would be? Company-wide install of NoScript? But that wouldn't save you if a trusted site got compromised. Maybe they should prohibit use of all commonly

Even if you ignore Tesla's side of the story, the NYTimes infographic that was supplied with the article contradicts the contents of the article itself. The article explicitly states that the car fell short of range estimates on the final d

The NY Times article didn't pass the sniff test the first time I read it. If you look at the map on the article, it clearly shows that the writer chose not to charge in Manhattan when remaining range read 79 miles and destination was 73 mil

Has anyone considered that the LinkedIn hack (6.5+ million accounts, with passwords run through a non-salted SHA-1) could be responsible for much of this? I remember a lot of people having their Diablo 3 accounts hacked and their items stol

I've wanted to build a more generalized version of this in the past. Facebook does a poor job of reporting on many of their own API issues and it would be relatively simple to build a tool that called each API endpoint and validated that th
