The one "good" thing that comes out of this public exploit is that github was the target. Github is obscure enough to non-developers but quite well known in the development circle. This means if you are using github you probably have a damn

This is why I like python more than ruby. I feel like ruby has more magic and is harder to deobfuscate than python. This eventually bubbles up to how rails does things. Another note is CoffeeScript. I've looked at it but generally feel like

The first step is letting people spend their credits/karma. Then they can start selling credits. I know for reddit there are people selling accounts which can be used to upvote things all the way to the front page. I can almost see that hap

Is e-mail that freaking broken for everyone? I must seriously not have the same problems. With gmail spam filters and priority inbox the last thing I need is to visualize my e-mails in a twitter like stream. I can't be the only one one that

P3P is a load of garbage as it is implemented/written. There is no real enforcement behind it and it just causes lots of confusion. Seriously I have to go lookup what each of these acronyms are in order to figure out how my privacy is being

I think hackers by nature weed out non-technical people pretty quickly. I love hackerdojo and noisebridge. I think this post is great in that it highlights what it really comes down to: a misunderstanding on the person as to what a hackersp

Suppose you visit https://mail.google.com/ from inside a corporate network. Assuming ideal scenarios no one can snoop on your traffic between you and Google because of SSL. If a company wants to monitor you they have lots of options. One

I work with python daily. I find that when I first started I avoid a lot of the "fancy" constructs such as list comprehensions, dynamic arguments, and decorators as well as meta programming. The great thing is the bar to being effective in

Load balancers generally don't offer as much mitigation against DDoS as you think. The load balancer will probably fall over if the backend servers don't do so first. The sheer volume of seemingly valid traffic is what kills you. Which is w

How to do introductions 101: 1. Say something about why the person is here. Speak to their credentials and establish credibility. 2. Know your audience. Let them know why the person being introduced is important to them. 3. It's okay to mak

I e-mailed Path and they replied. The only thing I am worried about is how to verify my information is actually wiped out. And what about all my other friends who have me in their address books? How do I get rid of that? Zack S. FEB 08, 201

I wonder how slow you'd be willing to go. Would you be willing to pay $1 for 100GB if it meant waiting 15 minutes to load your tape? How about 30 minutes?

A very well written article. I've considered learning CoffeeScript but have decided for now to let things play out and focus on learning JavaScript better. There are a ton of frameworks for javascript (backbone/spine) that make it more bear

I love logic like this. You bought an Ecobee thermostat, integrated it with your access point, and made a SiriProxy plugin. This is awesome but think about it for the general consumer. They just want shit to work. This is what makes Nest di

I've used scss and less and I prefer SCSS. When I first started using less I found the javascript parser missing some functionality that was in the full ruby gem. Also, since I use django, I found integrating with scss much easier, especial

If the question is about architecture and design, whiteboards make sense. Drawing pictures, connecting things together, understanding the larger realm. If the question is about code give me a damn editor and I will show you what I know.

This happens more often than you think. Curebit just happened to get caught because the developer probably just copied and pasted the original HTML. And the fact that they copied from a ridiculously high profile site.

The quickest way to get started is to have something you want to build and then build it. Shoot me an e-mail if you have time. I have a couple of ideas floating around that might need some biotech experience. Would love to get in touch. My

This question is about managing risk. Risk of the person leaving is probably highest on the list. You see 2x or 3x the normal rate in consulting. You are paying for a temporary boost in expertise. Salary wise it usually doesn't happen becau
