I started one of my hobby projects ( http://gibsonindex.org/ ) because media and government organizations were handling cyberattack reporting/prosecution so poorly, but it quickly grew tiresome. So many hacks in 2014, th

See if there's one feature that you can target and polish better than their version. That can be your spearhead selling point. Edit: Just editing to comment on how full of "derp" this comment is. Reading comprehension fail on the original p

There are other ways to be different. Be friendlier (or edgier). Be more mobile. Be faster (see: Pinboard versus other bookmarking services). Be exclusive. Be more expensive. ... The last one is a hard sell, obviously, but said sale is much

There's something else that can do that: Revenue. But perhaps this is the wrong forum in which to point that out ;-)

I've worked on something for four years, then went to market it and saw that it had already existed for a decade. But, of course, I already knew that I was not unique. The reason I spent so much time on it is because I have a small but acti

"monetizing the platform" is probably the main reason it's always on. Heheh.

The next big field is going to be Potatoes, son. (But in all seriousness, the reason you see low-hanging-fruit being picked is because everyone is still trying to figure out how best to employ the internet - you're seeing microeconomies ris

Yay for Victoria/Vancouver Island shout-out - but I'm not sure that this is true in all corners of the world ... And definitely invest in better pockets, sheesh! :)

Well, think of the games - typically they need raw and low-level access to hardware in order to optimize the framerate and gameplay experience. But there are several technologies on the market right now that can actually deliver such experi

No. Native apps won't die. There seems to be an ebb and flow between "thin client" and "thick client" computing. Right now we're leaning heavily toward the "thin client" realm, with the emphasis on "Cloud this" and "Web that"; however, it's

I posted a note above that might help: apc.enable=1 turns on Opcode caching (when php-apc is installed), and apc.stat=0 turns off "stat" checks - this means that once a file is opcode cached, PHP won't even have to touch the file on disk to

Yep, this is exactly what I was wondering. Opcode caching is a key part of production PHP environments - in this case, since the code isn't changing, they should even disable the "change check" (apc.stat=0) as one would do in a production e

Maybe I'm unclear on the specifics, but it doesn't say what filesystem is used for the mounted striped volume. Could the choice of FS affect I/O?

Two potential points you could address: 1) The Use command can also perform aliasing, e.g. "use ExampleNamespace\subnamespace\foo as TruckNuts" allows you to alias the class to something else. This can help improve code readability. And you

It's a bit absurd. A chilling effect, even; now, instead of responsible disclosure (which weev seemed to think meant scraping 100K examples of the data and giving it to a Gawker reporter), we'll be left with irresponsible disclosure (anonym

The charges in the indictment seem ludicrously disproportionate to the observed impact. I mean, giving away your workplace credentials is beyond stupid (and highly unprofessional), but I think it doesn't quite rise to "30 years in jail" as

I would say that this is untrue. How much (or how little) people care about what you say is simply tied to what they've heard from you or about you in the past. A framework project helps with this, because it presents a history of your work

I use NetNewsWire (an iOS app) every day, and it interfaces with Google Reader very nicely. Very sad that Google has made this decision - I will have to look into the alternatives. Hopefully they are even better! :) Edit/Update: I'm probab

Checking it out - looks like your PHP lib doesn't explicitly declare CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, so that could be vulnerable to peerjacking. If I have some free time tonight I might be able to submit a PR for it.

That's pretty neat - it seems to only cover one aspect of what makes something a "cyber attack", though. Doesn't appear to cover things like XSS, SQLi, and other malware vectors - just network vulnerability probes and break-in attempts. Not
