It's a security issue because someone can compromise google's CDN, or cache poison, or DNS poison/hijack that, and can inject malicious JS code into a large number of websites with one attack. If you're running a payment related it pays to

Generally you VPN in (using two-factor auth for PCI compliance) to a private network and can SSH in from there. Public facing SSH is generally a bad idea. Also it didn't seem like they had any firewall rules preventing brute forcing.

That's totally nutty. Not sure how they passed a PCI audit like that. In fact, I don't see that they are PCI certified on their site?

Ditto on both of these. Joker is great, cheap, and straight forward. EasyDNS has a very nice infrastructure (we use them as secondaries).

By not working you mean sites won't let you register with e-mail addresses ending in lhsdv.com? Or that they do, but there's some issue with 10MinuteMail.com itself that doesn't show you the e-mail? If it's the former, then not much I can

I launched it in November of 2006. The temp inbox market had several players in it already, and if I'd actually looked around at all I wouldn't have built it:) But it was just something to learn Seam and scratch my own itch, so I didn't e

http://10MinuteMail.com was written by me as a learning exercise. It's profitable and low maintenance.

Having been, the big thing I feel I didn't do enough of was networking. I met a few folks, but really could have done much better at introducing myself to new people and maintaining the connection afterward. There are amazing people there

I think the only reason we're using Crowd now is to map LDAP groups into Jira.

Obviously you don't know me, but the implication that I'm not a "good" programmer because I like some of the features that an issue/task tracker provides over a text file is silly. Jira + Mylyn + Eclipse makes identifying which commits wer

I'm not saying Rails does or doesn't handle this at all. I don't use Rails. I was just commenting that the parent response regarding 100k pages/day doesn't really mean that much either way imho.

by modoc 16y ago
While 100k views/day is good traffic it's generally not at the level where I'd consider it 'scaling". Unless you app is very complex or CPU intensive 100k/day should be achievable by out of the box settings on a single server. I've done t

While you aren't wrong regarding the parent comment, I'm actually constantly surprised by how in love with RoR the HN crowd generally seems to be.

Multi-factor is a big deal, especially if you ever want to deal with credit cards at all. We looked at WiKID (open source two factor solution) but building a LDAP backed VPN solution around it was going to be a fair bit of work, so we ende

I have a 17" MBP and a 30" LCD and I happily use an 11px font (Monaco or Manlo). 20px would seem silly to me, no offense. I have room for 120 chars, 120 lines, and plenty of space for tech design docs, API guides, terminals, etc....

I'm not sure I'm a "write it and forget about it" kind of person, but I don't want to have to spend time going back over an ever-increasing amount of existing code to fix stuff rather than writing new features/integrations/etc...

Personally I love Confluence and Jira. I've brought them in to multiple companies replacing things like Wiki products, Bugzilla, Mantis, Trac, SharePoint, etc... and it's always been a step up. Are they perfect? No. But so far they're t
