sigh I was afraid it was THAT stupid.

Yeah, I'd say that anyone on Github that has somehow leaked keys is in for a nasty surprise (or has already received one)

Yeah, I'll discuss this with Amazon when they get back to me, but I don't hold much hope for a positive outcome.

I have a support ticket open with Amazon about this. I'm hoping not, but I have to accept a certain amount of responsibility for leaking the key in the first place.

Sure guess that could have been clearer. Unauthorized account usage used for mining litecoins.

Yeah, I've done that now, but it's 'after the horse has bolted'

'far lower that any developer (even junior) would consider an offensive offer for a mobile app' I don't think you have the story straight. Patrick didn't get free labor, he taught Grand so he could create his own app (an

If it was me helping, I could afford to invest a certain amount in someone and help them learn to code, but providing enough money for stable housing is probably beyond my capability.

Poverty (in the US) is rooted in income and intelligence, and income is tied to education[1]. Please explain to me how directly getting in and spending time educating someone is 'turning it into a game'. [1] http://en.wi

It seems perfectly reasonable to market this as aggressively as possible. It's not like he's rolling in money, and it's not like his mentor is taking a cut.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's a 100% reliable method though. Depends how recently the person has eaten (etc).

I have been thinking a lot about whether it would be possible to invest enough in someone that it got them off rock bottom. I guess this is proof that it is possible. It might be time to start asking the same question to some of the people

Nothing quite like trying to write a complex system from scratch to realise just how many giant shoulders you stand on every day.

FYI, You can still see the url of the user on bitbucket and from there still get a name.

I love the concept. It would be cool to see some form of mesh networking added to this as well.

I'm not sure that your assertion is correct. Employers are required to pay money into a super fund of your choice (or an employer default if you don't specify). You can of course contribute privately to this balance as well, and i

I'm going to echo a few other people here. You need to share more details (Location, etc) Zed Shaw may be the most famous, but there is a bunch of us that can do things to help. On the off chance you're in Australia (or if you jus

Is 2% good? 9% (soon moving to 12%) is mandatory in Australia. Yes we are an evil socialist state with good healthcare.

There are hard questions: Are you sure this is going to work? And then there are hard questions: Am I going to get my money back?

Or twitter. Honestly, It's easier than making people sign up for an account (safer too, since they don't leave an unhashed password in their database)

I do find it a little amusing that the author doesn't want to pay and doesn't want to do it himself. FOSS is two sided, this is the perfect opportunity to contribute. FWIW, It's really not that hard to build your own RPM&#x2F

On the other hand, I can imagine that there is a set of people that want to run client side and yet not expose even obfusticated javascript.

If you're going to do a few designs you could also just open a shopify store or something similar.

In a lot of ways the reviewers at these sites are similar to call centre workers. They're expected to maintain quotas. When you're trying to get through a large backlog reviews, that doesn't leave much room for tailoring resp

The currency may be P2P, but the trading of it is mostly certainly not. I wonder if it's possible to create a more P2P trading platform for digital currencies.

I don't mind a certain amount of advertising in Linux magazines because it lets me know that the company caters to the market in the first place (which isn't always apparent).

I used to be an avid Linux Journal reader/subscriber, but I ended up with a bitter taste in my mouth because they sold my mailing address to a third party (without ever asking). I've not picked up a copy of Linux Journal for the l
