   No clue, sorry. I imagine Google didn't bother renewing because they're hoping to get interesting data from Google+ users.

   You can choose which features you use. For instance, I've never used the single sign on/access token functionality. The reset password, account lockouts, etc. are awesome.

   I know they were profitable (heard from Twitter employees during lunch) in very late 2009 right after Bing and Google decided to pay them tens of millions of dollars each month for access to realtime Tweet data. They only had ~150 or so emp

   If you're not already, use Devise. https://github.com/plataformatec/devise It's ballin'. Bcrypt by default, too.

   Don't forget CSRF, and don't do destructive actions via GETs.

   Having only do follow links pointing to your site would set off some alarms at Google Search HQ...

   Is an exploit "malware"? No. Could an exploit be used to install malware? Yes. So, no, it doesn't count. iOS definitely isn't without security issues, but it doesn't have the same malware issues that plague Android.

    Just set the client and server defaults in my.cnf. MySQL has four places where encoding can be set: client connection, server, database, column. Setting the client and server in my.cnf covers everything.

    Threads are inferior to events for concurrency, but they're better for throughput. number_of_threads * thread_stack_size = sadface.jpg (when trying to use threads to handle lots of connections)

    They may have been correct in their actions, but they shouldn't have come across as being passive aggressive. This is why you don't answer emails/tweets/phone calls or blog when you're not calm. EDIT: Wow, these guys certainly aren't helpin

    Anything that needs C-like levels of performance in Ruby can be implemented in C. The C Ruby API is pretty straightforward. :)

    I don't think 60-80k for a senior/lead engineer is considered competitive anywhere.

    You can say "fuck" on this site. Also, the WTFPL is already quite popular.

    Especially since it's requesting offline_access. That's shady status for sure.

    Hmm, I don't see any way in my Linode account settings to disable these emails, and I never received any! That is disconcerting. :(

    Probably so you know that the output you received is definitely an IP if egrep returns 0. The script on the server could fail or return unexpected non-IP output.

    Yes, I have a machine in Fremont. How were you notified? Email?

    Linode doesn't notify their customers affected by outages, or am I missing something?

    Interpolation actually calls #to_s on the object, so if object.respond_to?(:to_s) returns true, you can use use it inside #{} in any kind of string that allows interpolation.

    Finland has successfully brought their economy back from the brink. They definitely did not do it by bailing out failing businesses. I highly recommend reading "The Information Society and the Welfare State" which covers Finland's economic

    The only problems I've had with Chrome 12 were random pages crashing (especially on, coincidentally, google.com). This was on Chrome 12 on OSX 10.7 I'll have to see how 13 behaves.
