oscardelben··on SSH Key Audit on Github (required)
I'd like to point out that this is not a rails vulnerability, but a mistake Github engineers made, which happens to the best of us. Mass assignment is a feature and I guarantee the problem has been know for years and Github engineers were probably well aware of it.

oscardelben··on The next SOPA
You can get started without waiting for everyone else, and when they'll ask you why you act that way you'll tell them. We can't kill that industry in one week but you and I can start today and more people will join later. That's what's happened in the last years.

Marry her.
oscardelben··on Being recruited in the USA
I'm going through the process myself, and getting to work in the US is extremely complicated. Whenever I talk with local people (even immigrants) how hard it is to get a visa in the US nobody believes me, but sadly it's the truth. Remote workers is not the solution though, you should be able to get a visa easily for a highly specialized job.
oscardelben··on Berlin VC invests in Italian startup. Is this the start of something?
If you're in Italy and want to fund your startup try contacting h-farm http://www.h-farmventures.com/

Disclaimer: I've worked with one of their startup but I know the place is great and they're more than willing to invest.

oscardelben··on The Real Reason Italy Sucks at the Startup Game
What's worse is that I never know exactly how much I'm going to pay (this is what my accountant tells me anyway).
oscardelben··on The Real Reason Italy Sucks at the Startup Game
Actually Italians have been huge innovators in history and still are in some areas, it's just the system that makes it harder now.
oscardelben··on The Real Reason Italy Sucks at the Startup Game
You have a point here, but due to the distribution of our (small) cities, we don't have many meetups here, for example. I love Italy's, just not for working.
oscardelben··on The Real Reason Italy Sucks at the Startup Game
I agree about the mentality problem, though I think it's mostly due ignorance in general and values that are often toward the wrong thing.

Regarding taxes, it's pretty ridiculous, I would never encourage people to open a business here if they can avoid it.

I'm moving to the US next year and I can't wait to stop paying the ridiculous amount of money (in proportion of what I earn) that I pay now as a consultant.

I think I can add another reason why doing startups is hard in Italy: finding a cofounder or team members. I've worked in one of the biggest startup incubator in Italy (h-farm), and I can say from experience that it's super hard to find talented people, and that makes a difference at the end of the day.

And that includes support.
oscardelben··on Introducing GitHub Enterprise
What makes github great is the execution and the community, I think any decent team could clone Github as it's now given enough time.

Looks useful to me! I would like to see when the tweet was made, a link to the actual tweet, and the option to change location/filter by keyword.

Edit: I see that you can already change location. Well done!

I really enjoy this presentation. If you want to learn C programming from scratch I also recommend to study Zed's book "Learn C the hard way".
