Sponeon Ruby's exceptional creatures

On the contrary, I quite like how it's a very elaborate and useful ad. The link to the paid service is very discreet and the website provides real and free educational value even if you don't use their service.

Sponeon Hurl: Run and test HTTP requests with plain text

Can you elaborate on Rails' snapshot testing? Are you talking about VCR / webmock?

Sponeon Ask HN: Good tech talks on how analytics systems are implemented?

It covers all the basic needs, and even if you're not using Rails, I think you can draw inspiration from it!

Huh. I hadn't really thought about malicious actors using these vast password dumps to try and target users that are continually using weak passwords.

New hypervisors are powered by Intel Denverton CPUs instead of Avoton.
