Exactly right re: doing it downstream (or in the case of virtual machines, outside of the guest). I didn't mean 'intend' in the context of unauthorised use, i was trying to differentiate between a 'single user' ( ca

Yes but even then you're still not protecting much by allowing HTTP... said user would still be able to download attack tools locally and use them. Agreed it will still stop a script kiddie (do ppl even use that word anymore? Showing m

I've never understood the compulsion to restrict outbound traffic on an internet facing server that you do not intend to be used by other (untrusted) people. If someone is good enough to own you with everything else locked down, they c

I'm really glad to see CoreOS taking this path, forged by the likes of VMware's ESXi and Joyent's SmartOS. It truly is the only way to run scalable infrastructure.

Really useful post, thankyou. Specifically for me, the part about wrestling with focus... I tried Pomodoro a while back but assumed it was something you just either 'got' or didn't - it didn't seem like something anyone

You might misunderstand what the purpose of HFT is - it's not about making a small margin on a huge volume of trades, it's all about order fulfillment (liquidity). I'll try and illustrate with a contrived example. Say i want

Admittedly OT, but how many of 'you' are there? You're answering with a lot of collectives for someone on their own :)

One of the things I love about the node community is the way it embraces the philosophy of Unix. To that end, I'll be interested to see how much adoption this gets - certainly looks useful, but it's doing a lot of things. Case in

Curious to know what you think about the Cumulus release - if I'm not mistaken, you guys are also 'just' Linux?

Not exactly, either the above or you can live in central London if you are on government benefits - the civic planning here is pretty messed up, I appreciate the idealism of forcibly mixing socio-economic classes by mandating council housin

Also mentions MongoDB making it into RHEL 7... pretty interesting as well, although I can't seem to find any other sources for that currently.

I don't think 'like only' reduces the breadth of communication that much more than simple like/dislike does already. Especially if only the net difference is shown (1000 upvotes - 999 downvotes says a lot more than 1 vote.) When I see artic

I can't quite understand how people in the US continue to get that wrong. There's a comment here that takes the care to capitalise it with an 's', so they have clearly seen logo.

Nothing grabs the attention of the average corporate IT worker like a certification program - be interesting to see if they can replicate the traction of the certification tracks offered by nearly every established enterprise IT company.

Sure, it's probably more prominent for someone like me who doesn't code for a day job. So it's not just limited to the context switching associated with syntax, it's the peripheral things like language / framework conventions, packaging sys

I recently built a HN clone (for a much smaller community) using exactly this. As a solo / moonlit act, staying in a single language had huge benefits for me. But I don't see the point of using an ORM with MongoDB... not saying ORMs are bad

Sure, but in this case it wasn't Linode who initially came forward - it took a public announcement from the intruders for Linode to notify us.

I really wish they would officially comment on the 'cover up' aspect. Security breaches happen, and are forgivable. But attempting to broker a 'silencing' deal with the intruders and hoping your customers will never be the wiser is not. All
