Abundnce10··on Attack on DNS root servers
Do you have any links to resources on Botnets. It's an interesting topic that I know very little about (e.g. How they work, how they come into existence, how they're controlled/monitored, etc). It sounds like you know a decent amount about them.
Abundnce10··on Linux Performance Analysis
I had one of my EC2 instances (Ubuntu 14.04) lock up on Monday morning. I use it to run a Ruby on Rails app and to do a handful of ETL jobs. The website wasn't able to load and I wasn't able to SSH into the box. So, I went into the AWS console and rebooted the instance. This has happened 3 times in the last 6 months. It looks like the CPU spikes up to almost 100% around the same time when the instance locks up.

I'd love to be able to identify the root cause of the instance locking up. It seems like this article is more about the commands you'd run to assess the health of an active/working EC2 instance and not one that you're unable to SSH into. Any idea on how to identify the problem with my EC2 instance?

Abundnce10··on Role-based authorization in Rails
I've used Pundit in my last few projects and loved the simplicity of it. Would recommend to others.
Abundnce10··on Background Data and Battery Usage of Facebook’s iOS App
I tried installing Facebook Lite in the Google Play store but it says "This item isn't available in your country". I live in the US.
Abundnce10··on Verizon revives "zombie cookie" device tracking on AOL's ad network
Nice! I'm seeing an `X-Uidh` attribute in my request headers, is that the Verizon Zombie Cookie?
Abundnce10··on Show HN: Turn a Google Spreadsheet into an API
Perfect! That was the only thing holding me back from getting started. Nice work, BTW!
Abundnce10··on Show HN: Turn a Google Spreadsheet into an API
I see that you request access to 'view and manage' the spreadsheets and files in my Google Drive? Is this for each spreadsheet/file or just the one I've linked to the in URL?
Abundnce10··on Show HN: Live Simple – Tiny homes

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Abundnce10··on RAML – RESTful API modeling language
Are any of those projects open source? I'm looking for an example Swagger YAML/JSON file that includes authentication.
Abundnce10··on The Startup Founder Wealth Survey
Any other perks like this (business owner with no employees) I can take advantage of?
Abundnce10··on Show HN: Dcron – Distributed, fault tolerant job scheduling system
I have a bunch of Python scripts that run a various intervals (hourly, daily, monthly, etc). I have trouble keeping track of which jobs fail -- unless I notice an email doesn't show up, or a metric is missing. Is Dcron something I would use to keep track of my cron jobs and whether or not they ran successfully?

At this point I don't need my jobs to be distributed, I'm just looking for a way to keep track of them all and visualize characteristics of the job (start time, length, successful, etc). Ideally, I'd have a way to re-run the job within the UI.

Abundnce10··on WebRTC file sharing broker using Elixir Phoenix
> you're still trusting his server every time you run it.

Is there any way to initiate transfers between two browsers over WebRTC without the use of a server?

Abundnce10··on RobotJS – Node.js Desktop Automation
I've used Selenium a bunch the last couple months to automate daily/hourly jobs to pull data from 3rd party UIs that don't offer an API. I couldn't imagine not having a tool like Selenium at my disposal!
Abundnce10··on Major Flaw in Android Phones Would Let Hackers in with Just a Text
This has been my experience using the app. If that's the case, then I think I should be fine.
Abundnce10··on Major Flaw in Android Phones Would Let Hackers in with Just a Text
I don't see any option to disable it and I use it as my default client.
Abundnce10··on Major Flaw in Android Phones Would Let Hackers in with Just a Text
For TextSecure users, will this be an issue? Usually I'm prompted before I download a image/video. Do you think I'm okay using TextSecure?
Abundnce10··on Show HN: Q.uiz.me – Learning resource aimed towards primary school aged children
The different games are very clean and function as I would have imagined. Nice job! Can you describe your tech stack?
Abundnce10··on Ask HN: How should I manage recurring jobs?
Even if I use CasperJS I'll still need to use Python to connect to the GoogleAnalytics API, right? I guess I'm more interested in any alternatives to cronjob to managing/monitoring recurring jobs.
Abundnce10··on How a keyboard changed what I look for in an editor
Looking forward to this. Do you have any videos contrasting Keyboardio vs. the tradition keyboard, or do I need to wait until the campaign goes live tomorrow?
Abundnce10··on The next version of Safari will let users block ads on iPhones and iPads
Do you find your browsing speeds increase when you do this? I ask because I'm assuming the page loads faster without the ads but it must be offset (to some extent) by the VPN connection. Also, can you link to any examples on setting this up on an Android device?
Abundnce10··on Data Science from Scratch: First Principles with Python
Thanks, Joel! Just ordered a hard copy.
Abundnce10··on Super Mario 64 HD
Is that specific to just this game? Or is that the case for all games built on top of Unity?
Abundnce10··on Fundable Acquires Clarity.fm as Part of Its New Launch Platform, Startups.co
Is there any way to tell within Fundable how much equity the startup gave up in order to attain their funding goal? Referring to these examples: https://www.fundable.com/raise-capital
Abundnce10··on What does it take to run a web app with 5K – 10K users?
I agree, I haven't seen the "Wait in line for a free account" before. Can you describe this feature in more detail? For example, how long does a user have to wait, does it allow in more users as the size of the queue grows, etc.?
Abundnce10··on Ask HN: Socialize to make software
Same here. Let's hear more!
Abundnce10··on PresidentObama on GitHub
Imagine if we could analyze a current law (ex. Computer Fraud & Abuse Act) and tweak the parts that are being abused or used in a way that they weren't intended. Or each time a law is added (merged with Master branch) we could see who voted in favor of that law (i.e. greater transparency). Other countries could take our constitution/laws up to a certain point (commit) and then branch off and implement their own approach. There are many ways we could utilize git to improve how laws are created/modified/deleted.

Laws are just rules and processes humans have come up with in a best effort to guide society in the right direction, no different than code is just logic programmers come up with to direct servers and clients to interact in a desired way. We've realized the importance of version control in the software realm, it's time to take it's powerful properties and apply it to the political sphere.

Abundnce10··on Komanda: IRC Client For Developers
I keep an IRC client (Colloquy for OSX) open everyday when I get home from work. However, it crashes a few times a day and I think it's about time to switch. Is this a suitable replacement for Colloquy? Any recommendations on a better IRC client to use, web-based or OSX, are much appreciated. Thanks!
