I'm just another developer who wants to gain more knowledge.

mcorrientes··on Ask HN: Please help me with seo. 600k player statistics are not getting indexed.
Thanks for mentioning it. I wasn't quite sure, but we're probably not penalized, so I haven't done a reconsideration request. Apparently it's now indexing slowly again.
mcorrientes··on Ask HN: Please help me with seo. 600k player statistics are not getting indexed.
Thanks for the advice, I'll try it over the re-inclusion request.

My email is mcorrientes@googlemail.com
mcorrientes··on Show HN: Check for web application security issues.
I'm sorry if your scan might take a while, the machine just can't handle this amount of traffic.
mcorrientes··on Show HN: Check for web application security issues.
I'm sorry for the circumstances, it should work now.
mcorrientes··on Show HN: Check for web application security issues.
Good point. I'll fix that. Thank you.
mcorrientes··on Ask HN: What music do you like to listen to while you program?
Depends on the time and my mood.

I certainly wake up and stop hesitating after I turned on a fast track.

mcorrientes··on [dead]
Sure. Send me a email at admin@gotcha.io with the email address you used and I will remove everything associated with it, including the email address of course.

To our knowledge, the only way someone could access this information is if the web server itself is compromised.

We checked all entry points and are confident that no one will ever get access to this db.

Removing trap templates - excellent idea. Thank you!

Spam - good point. We need to work on verification. Currently, it only works 20 times per IP address. But that's 20 times too many.

Unfortunately, storing a phone number is necessary for this to work. We are open to suggestions for any better solutions anyone may have.
mcorrientes··on What technologies are under your site
At first I thought this was a copy of lineofthought.com, but it has been created in a way it can stand for it's own.
mcorrientes··on Ask HN: Should I sell my side project?
Riot Games just send us an email again, selling this product to someone who might spam around with this site,

is out of question now; especially after they contacted me directly and know me personally now.

Anyway thanks for putting my mind together.

mcorrientes··on Ask HN: Should I sell my side project?
no contract; just an invoice and half of the payment for the client

Bests max

mcorrientes··on Duke Nukem Forever: barely playable, not funny, rampantly offensive
I just finished DNF and I actually liked it.

It's not a game I would like to play more than once but in my opinion, it was worth his pre order price. I was entertained about 8-10 hours with mini games, some jokes and first person action.

There're parts which appear unfinished and can't be missed, but DNF can be a entertaining game if you can look over it.

mcorrientes··on Video: Google's New Sea-Cooled Data Center
The video looks a little bit like the open compute project video from facebook .

Isn't pumping so much water through the pipes less efficient compared to facebooks method of cooling air down by spraying the water ?

See fb method at http://livestre.am/wBjp

mcorrientes··on Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold
Too bad gearbox took over it, would have been better if 3D Realms could finish the game.

It's also disappointing they didn't accomplished a stunning graphic after more than 12 years of development.

Regardless of the graphic it's almost the only game of his kind and I still expecting a good gameplay with many jokes.

Hail to the king baby.

mcorrientes··on Pictures of I/O
For everyone who couldn't attend, you can watch it online. http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleDevelopers
mcorrientes··on LevelDB: a fast and lightweight key/value database library
sure, dependes of course if you're using redis only for a simple key value store.
mcorrientes··on LevelDB: a fast and lightweight key/value database library
Sounds like a possible redis or memcached replacement.

A performance comparision with memcached would be interesting.

mcorrientes··on SETI Institute suspends search for aliens
I feel really sorry about it and I hope they'll make it.

Maybe they should consider writing more appreciated applications.

They could write more applications which involve people for the AI search.

I don't know what could reduce time to find AI, but I would bet SETI could get many volunteers if they just would provide a social network application (e.g. facebook).

There must be more than just calculation distribution.

mcorrientes··on You Got NoSQL in MySQL: Memcached Plugin in MySQL Technology Preview
Sounds to me like MySQL is trying to keep up with mongodb.

A littte bit late but I cant wait for some benchmarks.

If they also going to implement sharding next time, they keep my primary choice for new web projects.

mcorrientes··on Why the password "this is fun" is 10 times more secure than "J4fS!2"
Using multiple words or even sentences as password (as described in the article) doesn't even work always, there are too many websites or application which have a password length limit.

I recommend to use a password manager, KeePass is quite good.

Good password manager should be able to easily generate a new strong and complex password every time.

Remembering only one password and getting rid of the laziness of choosing always the same password is another advantage too.

Even if a website that stored your password in clear text and someone hacks the website, you shouldn't have to worry about other applications or services you may have used with the same password.

My personal rule is to choose unique strong passwords (alphanumeric and symbols) with at least 9 chars.

Brute forcing a password with 8 chars was with my 5870 no big deal at all, but cracking a password with 9 chars is too expensive (ec2 gpu) or takes to long for the usual hacker.

If someone really brute forces my password, with gpu and a cluster support, damn, than he really deserve it.

But that's just my two cents.

mcorrientes··on How to hack yourself a standing desk - an illustrated guide
how long do you guys work ? This works for a couple of hours, but I can't imagine how it feels after coding 14 hours. Best could be to change after several hours between a standing and sitting position.
mcorrientes··on At work? Try this Hacker News homepage inspired by Node [SFW]
node.js looks really sexy, can't wait to become stable enough for a productive system.
mcorrientes··on Pick a number from 1 to 10
Even if people have to pick a number from 1 to 20, 7 would be the second most chosen one.

mcorrientes··on Pick a number from 1 to 10
i chose 7 too. But I would have chosen something complete different without a numblock.
mcorrientes··on A message from Comodo Hacker
He sounds like a douchebag because he thinks, he is awesome after hacking a CA.

The most stuff is just lame, but I still appreciate the way how he infiltrated the system.

mcorrientes··on Ask HN: What elements can I add to my website to make it more social?
your site looks really great, but I miss the feeling of (social) activity on the front page.

Sorting pictures by the last disovery or most liked photos with a small "time ago" field could give it a feeling of a more active community.

mcorrientes··on Taking over your code repositories with xss
that's true but especially code hosting sites, should be a bit more concerned.

Using a WAF and white listing parameters, may be a good start too.

Just another reason why I keep the code internal.
