I winced at the last sentence -- "You’re not a teenager leaving your homework until the last minute. Professionals go hard early." I'm a graduate student who still leaves homework for the last moment sometimes. This mantra of going hard ear

However awesome bitcoins are, I wonder how much longer till wallets can be securely stored online, and the technology is simplified to an extent that my barely computer-literate mother can understand bitcoins.

It's amazing as to how ubiquitous email has gotten in the recent years in spite of being a relatively older technology. It was only a few years ago that you needed to afford the luxury of a blackberry to email on the go. And now we have ver

But what's the idea in that? People work out of coffee shops because they need a social place with other human beings around. Almost everyone has an internet at home, so they could always work form home rather than being cooped up in a car

When I look at such summarized reports of AWS, it occurs to me how mature and comprehensive their platform is. Does any other commercial cloud vendor offer such a plethora of services under a single unified umbrella for startups? Even their

True. It also doesn't factor in the fact that one may have the drive to work only for a certain number of hours per day. Let's say this number is 8 hours. One will work for 8 hours no matter what. Just because you saved 15 minutes, doesn't

I use GNOME. How would one go about switching out Swing for GTK while running a JetBrains IDE (or another application)?

True. I have somehow never liked how desktop applications written in Java turn out. I don't know whether it is because they don't use a native windowing toolkit or something else.

Yes, I think what the original article is saying is that the cookie could have been altered by a rogue browser extension/virus on a user's computer, which could be then potentially used to import a script from a different origin into the us

Isn't it a widely adopted practice to encrypt the content of the cookie before setting it? Of course it could still be tampered with, but not as trivially.

Probably not too relevant in this context of being cheated with a small amount for a large number of times, but if you ever feel that a company may swindle you for a larger amount unexpectedly -- you should use a disposable credit card (gif

I really like this site. As someone who will be interning in the Bay Area this summer, I will find it very useful if you guys could throw in a forum where folks could connect and find roommates and make friends with fellow hackers.

If you find an internship in one of the big names in South Bay, it is also a great idea to live in Sunnyvale or Downtown San Jose. The rates are quite affordable thanks to the large student population of SJSU. That being said, commuting in

Not only vim but also emacs. In fact, OS X affords an emacs readline-like capability throughout all text fields (just like bash). So you can use C-d to delete characters, C-e to go to the end of line, C-a to go to the beginning of a line, a

It's a scary thought that if all the computers in the world were destroyed in an instant, how long would it take for us to build a Core i7 processor. Decades?

As a grad student, this is especially relevant since I have three courses that are mandatory to getting the degree. One subject on "Enterprise Systems" was more of a history lesson in software, and another subject comprised largely of unpub

Sorry that came out wrong. I meant that if you're not using an IDE you're probably not a developer, in context of the parent comment to which I was replying. Your PoV does make sense and I agree with it.

Very true. If you are using an IDE, it already affords a great FS browser (like dired for example). If not, you're probably not a developer in which case the Finder is great!

by ultimoo 14y ago
Why do you say that Finder is an annoyance? I find it pretty great for sorting, searching or connecting over afp or smb. And while developing, I just use the Terminal with pushd/popd and dired.

Not sure about the structure of your database, but do you have any strategies identified for when maybe you will have twice the rows in your biggest table? Would it then take more than 15 seconds?

Great writeup! Loved reading it and adding this to my stash of known HA strategies. Did you folks also chart out historical traffic and carry out this migration when it was the most sparse? Like early morning on a weekend or something.

Nice writeup. Although I prefer to automatically configure using Chef, I didn't know of fail2ban and logwatch -- I will definitely look into those. Also, since this post is for beginners, you should mention about restarting the sshd over th
