- Focus on solving problems not writing code. Many problems can be solved with a communication, long before you need to write a line of code.

I always thought this was the more nuanced but clever part of the operation.

That said, I would hate to have been one of the test pilots for the barrels. One of them bounced too high, and ripped the plane in half.

The main one in the article:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jnear/space/

"SPACE is a specification-free tool for finding missing security checks in Ruby on Rails web applications using a catalog of access control patterns in which each pattern models a common access control use case. SPACE checks that for every kind of data exposure allowed by an application's code, some security pattern in our catalog also allows the exposure. The user provides a mapping from application types to the types of our catalog, and then SPACE identifies security bugs automatically."

[I not saying I am an expert] It is always a problem to expose passwords. Sure they can't use it from the outside, but what's the point of even having the password if its public? The password is to prevent unauthorized access. If they are able to get to a box, and pivots, that password becomes useful to the attacker.

I am also here to answer any questions anyone might have.

I mean, that pretty much is the entire premise of C++. Which notably does have a full wrapped string class.

For anyone interested, in the very hacked together way, here is the code: https://github.com/sirwolfgang/unix-tweet

Basically, we send out N number of tweets at the same second by queuing up and spin locking the workers. The real trick is getting all the connection pooling so that you don't blow your connect limits on everything.

Because as much as spending 4 hours doing unpaid work may seem to suck. (Which let's face it, I do at least 8 hours of unpaid development a week on side projects.) It's a better and more accurate test of your abilities than doing what can only be compared to that of a trivia based game show.

Option A) Spend anywhere from 2 to 12 hours interviewing for a position with little to no break. While being asked to solve problems, that may very well actually be unsolvable, under the pressure of rotating team of people. And for bonus if you suffer from any sort of test taking anxiety in school you'll get to feel the blood drain from your prefrontal cortex, as your fight or flight instincts kick just enough to make sure that doing high cognitive work like programming is next to impossible.

Option B) Spend a few hours solving a hopefully interesting programming challenge at home where you're probably not wearing pants.

Looking at Waffle.io, it seems to me that they don't actually store any data on their end. Everything is managed with issues, comments, and tagging.

It seems like you build off the comments of issues, parsing for the :+1:, you could functionally provide the same tooling, but in the same additive way that waffle.io does.

Arrow keys work for navigation.

Title should be updated to include (2012) when this was originally released to the public, following a pervious leak.

I built this thing to send a Pi day tweet at the exact right moment (US 12-hour format, your local time PM).

I am one of the devs working on this project, would be happy to answer any questions.

Anyone know what it would take to convert to atom.io?

The biggest problem I see with this is that your not really getting a second pair of eyes when you pair program. You almost get second eyes. Even if the person with you is 100% engaged the entire time, you end up syncing your thought patterns.

For example, I once worked with a teammate for 9 hours to write and debug a physics system. After all that time solving the problem with him, I was solving the problem like him. We ended up writing this 900-line solution to our simulation that kinda worked right most of the time.

I went home and laid down for 30 mins. During that mental reset, my mind turned to solving the problem with my method of thought. I ended up sitting up and grabbing my laptop and replacing all that code with a 30-line solution that worked 100% of the time.

Code review allows someone to come at a problem with a different perspective to find issues, not more of the same perspective.

I always like finding stuff like this. Imgur has a really good ascii art job advert that shows up in the JS console.

Develop as part of an interactive experience by the agency CLM BBDO for yachtwear manufacturer Guy Cotten and released on Apr 24, 2014. The goal is to remind people to buy and wear lifejackets.

I think this might be a US centric article.

Your perception is wrong. Every year they do a census. Of the people who filled out the survey most earn under 100k a year, with the average being around $40k. To be 5% of the US you need to be earning 188k a year.

The whole situation is a mess, and it's made less clear by other camps. While some of the RV fortresses are exclusive houses to the well off, some of them pool the dues in order to pay for public arts and music infrastructure. Patrons are needed at a point to be able to support some of these art camps.

But even these art camps have a flip side. Last year I spent a lot of time helping out and hanging around one of these music camps. I even provided a multimeter which was needed to repair some of the lights. But at the end of the day, after making friends and lending my labor, there was certain internal events and things that were simply off limits to me.

It's true that some of these camps don't actively give or interact with the community, but the when they leave the camp and mingle with the masses they are effectively taking. Burning man is one of the few places in the world that you aren't rejected for who you are, no matter what. So by closing off your camp to others, you are effectively making people feel rejected. Which is much louder out in the dust.

In the US we don't have the concept of `plain meaning rule`. Which means many contract and some laws as draw up to be intentionally confusing.

Title should be updated to include that this system scans only via IPv4. Doing such a thing with IPv6 would be a little more surprising. (7.9228163e+28 times more difficult)

So you're saying that The Washington Post shouldn't have reported on Watergate, with Deep Throat? If you can't trust the people providing the news, then citing sources doesn't change that fact. This is why you have collaborating sources, this is why you vet stories, and this is why you build trust with your readers. They could have linked to their source, and still not NAMED the group. Its the name that gets added to google search, not the sources.

You report it, as news, saying "a hacker group". You don't have to report the name of the group. There's something called "Journalism ethics and standards", that includes stuff like not reporting a victim's name or in a lot of cases not broadcasting the videos terrorist groups send out.

You want to see something scary, start to look at how media coverage affects mass shootings. There is very strong evidence to support the idea that our current media coverage of making these people "famous" increases the deadliness of these events as compared to something like the North Hollywood Shootout.

This kind of stuff is really upsetting. If you don't want people to do this kind of thing, you have to not encourage them. Even if they are all arrested, others will see this. And think, Hey I can get a reward for doing this stuff.

A 10 sec look at their twitter feed will tell you that they are doing this primarily to make a name for themselves. They want to be famous.

Yet what does every single news outlet do? Plaster their groups name all over every story. Even the BBC goes to mention them by name. Which is only going to encourage this behavior.

Whoa buddy, let's take a step back. Are we even sure people fart more on planes. I have personally never noticed an increase in both producing and receiving such gases. And I think I would notice being packed in a sardine can with methane.

You have to adjust for cost of living. There is a lot of cost of living over there then compared to around Boston.
