The update has quite a frank and an apologetic tone to it. Especially the concluding paragraph gives it a very empathetic touch. It must be truly tough for the ops folk at Linode to have suffered an attack due to a third party 0-Day exploit

I have used splunkstorm.com which is a SaaS and that can allow you to generate distributable reports.

While I see the point the OP is trying to make, I feel the article is not written in a neutral way, with whatever little knowledge of node.js I have. Isn't Node.js a platform? And JavaScript the language? I looked it up and JavaScript has b

This is so exciting. Just how a completely new user experience paradigm was uncovered when high quality touch screen devices like iPhone etc. first launched, this is yet another milestone in how we will continue to interact with the petabyt

An ex-colleague of mine used to put it well in saying: "It's best to be pragmatic rather than dogmatic while testing and pair programming."

Don't feed the trolls. It is best to ignore such hateful comments so as not to encourage them.

Nice read! On a slightly related note, I wonder why some cell phone service providers are dishonest about a "ringer-tone" (for lack of a better word). The other day in a poor cell reception area I placed my friend's AT&T phone next to m

I still find it strange at times to wrap my head around the fact that for decades we championed a distributed and an open world-scale system - The Internet. And now, we are going back to policies controlled by 'guidelines' and rules and ter

As someone who goes to a state university in the silicon valley, none of my peers have received any unpaid internships. The lowest paying internships that I have heard of are $25/hour.

Are you speaking about an api or a url pattern after the response has been received from a uri:search? I believe such information would be set by the responding search server. Also, if this thing kicks off in a good way, there is no reaso

All major search engines support https, which will become the norm eventually and not empower Google (or another redirector) to sniff packets.

clever code: keeping an empty todo commit in the repo tree. clear code: keeping a textual todo or org mode file committed in the repo. While this is another fun and a clever trick that can be done with git and it delights the geek within me

This is a great article. It is nice that github is comprehensively explaining how they are protecting user data to reassure their users. However, this is one of the rare blog posts that go on to educate the reader about the technical aspect

I would think it would also help in forging the right affiliations with influential alumni, especially in a large corporation. I'm only second guessing though, I didn't go to a top notch school and neither do I work in a large corporation l

Thanks for sharing your story. That's established credibility right there. You already had stellar open-source contributions which are probably more credible than an ivy league degree. I am currently in (a non-ivy) graduate school and shoul

This is a nice article giving an insight into how it is working for one of the most successful engineering companies of our time. However, the OP comes from a strong academic background and Google is quite hand-in-glove with premier univers

I feel that the magnitude of money involved should be weighed in this comparison. Instacart was talking about something like 70-odd people with about a $150 per person membership, which adds up to $10k. Whereas Heroku-gate is probably wor

This would help so much. I only wish the government were actually receptive of such suggestions. Basically, my future along with thousands of others is dangling on immigration reforms by the congress over the next few years.

I really hope the USCIS increases these caps in the coming years. It is incredible how much power the computerized lottery system wields to change the lives of candidates who file for H1-B visas. Source: I'm one.

These are great tips. And so is the other post about Git Koans posted here today. I'm a bit of a git fan and while such tips pique my curiosity and delight the git geek in me, is it actually wise to use these on a day to day basis at your j

This is a great product. First there was the native client era on desktops that involved twiddling around with swt, gtk, qt and windows programming. Then came the advent of webapps with more uniform abstractions of client side js frameworks

Reading inspiring stories like this makes me realize how much of entrepreneurship is about taking risks rather than hard work. Moving to another place with a few thousand dollars in your pocket, quitting a stable job without a firm idea in
