dorianm··on Inside Cloudbleed [video]
@dang (?) this is not a dupe, it contains a lot of various interesting information not only related to Cloudbleed, especially in the second part of the video when they eliminate all the core dumps (going as far as updating micro code because of an hardware issue)
dorianm··on Homebrew 2.0.0 released
I didn't know that was public. It's available at https://formulae.brew.sh/analytics/ for anyone curious

dorianm··on Helping to Build Cloudflare, Part 2: The Worst Two Weeks
I'm curious why those core dumps, lasting for months at least, were not investigated
dorianm··on A list of lists of interview questions
Looking at Rails, first list, first question: "What does ruby name refer to?"

I interpreted the question as: "What does ruby's name refer to?" so I guess the precious stone... but no https://www.careerride.com/view.aspx?id=2439

Anyway, this seems exactly what a typical clueless recruiter would ask and try to pattern match the answers to

I don't see any: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-9237...

Edit: it's "To be allocated": "[$TBD][900910] High To be allocated: Multiple issues in SQLite via WebSQL. Reported by Wenxiang Qian of Tencent Blade Team on 2018-11-01" (from https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2018/12/stable-channel...)

dorianm··on Show HN: Founders launching startups on Twitch
I just watched a random Stream and was happy to see someone livestreaming Rails dev (I find it very hard to find).

Last time I used Ubuntu it didn't have support for horizontal scrolling for instance and all the answers online were outdated dconf-editor paths
dorianm··on IP Geolocation Through Reverse DNS
> To aid reproducibility, we open source our entire approach.

Probably because it's a draft but I was not able to find any source code (looked up the authors github repos and websites)

Also the end of the conclusion is pretty interesting:

> Our future work will focus on combining reverse DNS hostname information with WHOIS databases and network delay to form a geolocation database across the entire IP space

dorianm··on Show HN: Search products and services
Thanks for the feedback. I made it to work well when users are in France but I need to make it work well for international users. I will think about what's the best way to handle international users (like having a default zoomed out map of the world).

How to use it is by dragging and zooming the map to look for markers that represent items, they are all in French territory for now.

dorianm··on Show HN: Search products and services
Made in two weeks with Rails, React, and Heroku. There are only ~1500 items but I'm planning on adding more, at least 10 000 by the end of the week and probably 100 000 by next week.

What do you think?
