Wow, that sounds nuts. What OS are you running? I've never actually seen this happen before.

"Mistake". It was likely just testing the waters.

Snuck in less than 48 hours before the federal election, in the media blackout[1] period that immediately precedes it. Disgusting.

TV Tropes (!) of all places has a great explanation, applied to comedy: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunny

How is it voluntary if everyone else is pulling crazy hours and you need to keep up (or pull ahead) to stand a chance of making the jump from Intern to Real Employee?

Directly from the article:

“Sure, you may not be achieving much by midnight, but do you really want to be one of the first in the team to leave your desk?” George Herbert at PolicyMic asks. “If you’re always the one who leaves first will your boss question your commitment when it comes to calculating your annual bonus or deciding whether to take you onto a regular contract?”

Apologies for the shortened title. I don't very much like either this or the original title ("Twitter Hacked, Thousand of account leaked, millions compromised by Mauritania Attacker"), but there's that no-editorialised-titles rule.

I don't know if this leak is legitimate. Has this been covered by other sources, or has anyone downloaded the dump to see?

If you are looking for Haskell, you can take a look at Fay (https://github.com/faylang/fay/wiki).

No, there isn't. And only a few domains get the full subdomain listed; HN used to get a ton of "(github.com)" submissions that were just GitHub pages.

It's an annoying bug, it keeps getting raised as a problem, but it's never been dealt with.

... But only in Bash 4. This doesn't appear to work with stock OS X (Bash 3).

The outer quotes aren't required:

  APP_ROOT=`dirname "$0"`

(See http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/varassignment.html#EX16)

Also, even if ^J or ^M were present in a parent directory's name, the command above would still work. Whitespace-like characters take some getting used to with Bash.

More that you have to memorise what the word is and what letters they're removing from it.

("Is it Lg, or Lrg? Err, hold on, I'll check...")

The pendulum is swung our way right now. Put yourself in the position of someone going for a job in a market that's tight and competitive.

(Like trying to rent a place in Sydney or NYC, they can discard you and there'll be plenty of people left lining up to take your place.)

If you emulate the way the MRI parses it, sure.

For example:

  # Is this some_method with an empty block, or an empty hash?
  some_method {}

  # Is this a regex or a comment?
  #
  # It depends how many arguments "whatever" takes, and you
  # don't know that until you run the code that defines it.
  #
  # Interpretation is implementation-defined. It just so
  # happens that the MRI determines that the below ISN'T a
  # regex because it has a SPACE character just after the "/".
  whatever  / 25 ; # / ; raise SystemExit.new;

I hate to break it to you, but everything you're using right now to send this information was arguably designed by nerds.

Why bother with session cookies when you can just throw up an official-looking login dialog on the google.com domain and just steal credentials from everyone not aware enough?

"LXC" (for LinuX Container) will get you what you're looking for.

I've had a Ubuntu instance running for three months now; no notification.

Page is blank owing to it trying to load socket.io (!) from http://localhost:3000/socket.io/socket.io.js.js

And http://cmj.io/posts/devs-make-capistrano-your-new-friend just doesn't work.

This just seems like a really poorly put-together custom blog. #-only routes, websockets for loading content, hostile error pages, etc. :(

Worse, a number of ISPs use Telstra's lines, eg. iiNet, Internode, TPG. I have no idea if that agreement also covered others using the same cables.

(Telstra was government-owned until it was privatised from 1997-2000, and as such has a monopoly on most of the phone lines; the government sets the wholesale rates at which the lines are leased to other companies. Optus ran a bunch of their own cables, but the coverage isn't nearly as extensive.)

  That's a myth, a pervasive one. I'll point you to one 
  source that debunks this, but there are many.

It's unfortunately compromised by some boneheaded things in the MRI implementation. Method caching is a great example: https://charlie.bz/blog/things-that-clear-rubys-method-cache

(Rails startup does a lot of the mentioned things, for example, but then so do a lot of apps' controller actions unless they're careful. The OpenStruct example is particular egregious.)

They are. (And generated behind the scenes by "attr_accessor :sanity", if you'd prefer the short version.)

The benefit everything-is-a-message is that you can swap out the implementation of sanity (or sanity=) if needed, eg.

Before:

  attr_accessor :radius, :diameter

After:

  # Refactored radius to be the new source of truth.
  def diameter
    radius * 2
  end
  
  def diameter=(val)
    self.radius = val / 2
  end

In PHP (for example), MyClass->diameter and MyClass->diameter() are completely different things. Any existing code (including code you don't control) needs updating to change references from the former to the latter when moving logic into something that was previously static.

This article is flawed by holding up those six lines in themselves as something great, but I think the point the author is trying to get across is valid.

I used it for a couple of years (2009 - 2010) after getting frustrated with Zend Framework's Java-envy and enjoyed it; it was the last straw that pushed me over to Ruby and Rails, though, given Yii's attempt at bizarro-Rails with CActiveRecord, and the problems with getting testing working properly.

I really wish they would stop using statics so much, though (eg. CHtml::activeTextField()); it's really inflexible, particularly when statics call other private statics with self::... making subclassing really tough.

Thanks. :-)

(I thought "speed of light" at first, but didn't think of a way it could be applicable.)

Sure. Except then you need to define c. Back to square one.

I upvoted you and I'm the OP. I couldn't think of a better title that didn't span an entire line.

("Use Incognito Mode when using a friend's machine or risk having your accounts stuck together"? Or maybe "Don't log into a Google account on a friend's machine without using Incognito"? It's a bit too late for me to edit, unfortunately.)

I think there are two lessons:

1) Use Incognito when using other machines, or

2) Don't trust Google with precious things.

It also has a VC culture of not funding anything that isn't pulling valuable things out of the ground. :(

I work at Bigcommerce. The development, QA, design and product teams are here in Australia; the sales, support and marketing teams are in Austin.

(There is some mixing, eg. a few devs in Austin, a few support guys here.)
