Thanks for the offer, but it's really hard for anyone without access to the traffic logs to do much to help. The drill is usually: Site goes down Look at logs to see what's different Fix the bug, improve performance, or bl

We updated our FreeBSD base system to mitigate http://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-14:10.... I took the opportunity to also update nginx to version 1.6. I won't usually schedule time for cod

Late applications are still being accepted, and I just made one with a test account. Since I can't figure out what's wrong on my own, please get in touch me me at nick@ycombinator.com so I can see where we messed up. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the language in use matters here. Care to specify? For example, the answers for JavaScript and C# are not the same.

Actually, they're buying good teams with products that compliment or extend their current offerings. Loom on the consumer side; Hackpad on the enterprise side. I don't know their vision, but both of these make sense to me in many

I feel like you must have (accidentally?) withheld context. Since everything is open, you can presumably produce drivers for QNX, FreeBSD, or another OS of your choice. I'm sure you can also boot bare-metal into embedded firmware of yo

I hate that this is the top comment on something legitimately interesting. At a minimum email them , don't post here about it.

On this I defer to Daniel, and will help implement whatever he thinks is best.

I've actually been full time for 1.5 years now, but large parts of that were learning, chasing down theories, and fighting fires. For spam and abuse, I'd love to move the logic to a separate system where I can use resources less c

I have an Asus PQ321Q (4k @ 32") and it's what I've always wanted in a monitor. It fills my field of view and text is both legible and crisp at its native resolution. I can drive it with my retina MacBook Pro at 60Hz in Windo

In this case using nginx allow and deny statements was much easier than doing bit fiddling in Lua and returning 503s. Any time spent researching other options would have been time not spent determining the problem. Often getting to the root

I'd check out Meldium, but honestly the goal should be to not share passwords at all. Instead, use services that let you grant each user their own account. Otherwise you'll have to change every shared password whenever you fire

I thought that was the point of the Authentication Header Sequence Number and the sliding window? If you can tolerate occasional lost packets you can require they only increase and achieve complete protection, no?

Containers are great for isolating trusted applications from one another to ease deployment, but using them for multi-tenant security is ill advised. Since all containers share the same kernel, any local privilege escalation vulnerability i

No, they just open a new browser window to the binary download. It most definitely does not auto-update in place.

The same reason forms make your enter your phone number in a particular format. It's easier to make the user do all the work, and lazy developers can't be bothered to do simple things like strip all non-digits from a phone number.

I promise to do a post-mortem (with details), but from my perspective the issues that began on Jan 6th are ongoing. It's all I've been working on since then. Once I get a break I'll write a blog post about it, and try the Mat
