davman··on Paypal is not using an EV certificate
It looks like an EV certificate to me.
davman··on Ask HN: How to list an app that I've only maintained it?
"<Project Name> - Maintainer"
davman··on Valid.ly – Never send another OOPS message
Once I get on your site I don't seem to be able to get off it using the back button.
davman··on Show HN: MVP done, now what?
The idea of "serverless" apps really appeals to me. Where you can write your JS app and deploy it without having to own anything other than the domain.

This seems like it could be a key part but I'm wondering what other things a developer could tie into the get the entire "serverless" platform.

So I guess any 'database as a service' makes me think of Firebase, so what are your killer features over them?

davman··on Ipv6 traffic just shy of 10% of total
Just a thought, but try this; re-enable ipv6 and then add:

'options single-request' to the end of /etc/resolv.conf

Let me know if you try it and it works.

Eeek! I think I broke it :(

Maybe put a button on the site under where you can test it to report an inappropriate gif?

No worries I love it other than that!

davman··on Bored to Tears by a Do-Nothing Dream Job
Does this not grant you the perfect opportunity for personal improvement?

Work on some pet projects to keep your skill set fresh, and in an ideal world, come up with something that makes you money and you can eventually turn into your full-time job.

You can't drink a pint of Bovril.
davman··on Remote Kernel Code Execution Via HTTP Request In IIS On Windows
I couldn't find anything that wasn't just the report of a bluescreen.
davman··on Remote Kernel Code Execution Via HTTP Request In IIS On Windows
Yes, unticking that checkbox works for me instantly.

Ahh yeah, that should have been obvious. Thanks!

I initially configured rules (I was following your instructions) but I've now deleted the rules and still have the crash.

What is also interesting is that if I do this instead:

curl -v http://10.243.0.221/iis-85.png -I -H "Range: bytes=18-18446744073709551615"

(added -I), then it doesn't cause the crash.

I just get the standard "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you."

Edit:

Actually sometimes you get additional info:

Best I could do on a freshly installed Win2k12 with IIS was:

curl -v http://server-name/iis-85.png -H "Range: bytes=18-18446744073709551615"

Run the curl twice and the bluescreen happens the second time. If I don't request the image then it doesn't work.

I've not added any specific rules for output caching.

Edit: The crash screen is very dull:

davman··on Python vs. Ruby – The Workshape.io Smackdown
Unrelated to the article itself, but I have an ongoing issue with Workshape that I'm wondering if anyone else has.

I've currently got a 97 "match" with a position there, but I still get "There are currently no matches for your desired role". Does anyone else have this? Am I doing something wrong?

davman··on ForerunnerDB – Lightweight JavaScript Database with Persistence and Data-Binding
View source on this page has some lovely commented out insights...

"Plaid fingerstache craft beer" is probably my favourite.

davman··on Show HN: Browse recently expired, pronounceable domain names
I'm not entirely sure it is functioning correctly, I'm struggling to pronounce:

100% thlla.com 100% sohyw.com

etc. I like the idea though.

Also having issues logging in, same symptoms.
davman··on Panasonic and Tesla Sign Agreement for the Gigafactory
I need to do more research on the Leaf but yeah that is a close contender.

The Zoe is a problem. I love Renault cars, my Clio was my favourite thing in the world, but the Zoe has DRM in the battery which you have to rent from Renault for a fee based on your mileage, which as far as I could tell, worked out to more than I would pay in petrol.

I believe, although it may have been FUD, that if you go over the mileage you have pre-arranged with Renault, they will disable your battery remotely.

I briefly considered hybrids, but the question was concerning an 'electric car', and I don't really feel like hybrids fit the brief.

Like I said, this might all change with the Model 3, and I genuinely hope it does. I'm tired of driving petrol dependent cars, and I want my next new-car purchase to be fully electric.

Yes, I'm an entry-level SysAdmin

Well I live in the UK, I've specced out a mid range Model S with a few optional extras so this comes in at £67000.

Lets assume by some miracle I manage to save up a £7000 deposit, this leaves me with some £60000 to find. At a quick google around its pretty hard to get car finance over £25000, but lets have a crack at it and try autotrader. They'll only let me borrow £50k over 60 months which gives me monthly payments of £958.

My monthly take home is £1800, so that leaves me with £852 to play with, my rent is £450 and my council tax is £101, so now we're down to £301 and I haven't paid for my utilities yet.

So an electric car in my lifetime (or at least one with a useful range like the Teslas) is a distant dream. At least until the Model 3.

davman··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
This is cool, and I wanted to pay you money, but you only ship to the US :(
davman··on Show HN: It's Popcorn Time - Stream movies using node-webkit and backbone
Yeah... opened a VPN to a US box and it suddenly jumped into life.

edit:

Looks like it uses the YIFY database which is blocked by most UK ISPs.
