I see. Thanks for your side of the story. You are a very interesting person! I'm going to read more of your site later.

Hey Homakov, I'm a big fan of yours. :) No, money wasn't being stolen, but the validation error meant that clients' money was being spent and not being tracked. The company had to eat the costs.

I just spent 15 minutes Googling this guy because his site in his profile was interesting. He humblebrags about employability, but he's incapable of finding work. He also makes bomb threats: http://blog.up.co/2012&#x2

I'd love to see a VICE-style documentary which interviews him and really dives into his story.

Have you looked at C++14? It's a completely new beast.

As much as I dislike using overly broad labels: Liberals tend to favor equality of outcome while conservatives tend to favor equality of opportunity. These kinds of diversity reports usually show that "white people are overrepresented&

No, it was a posting looking for "RUBY ON RAILS DRAGON SLAYERS" if I recall correctly.

Actually, I am reminded of an error that happened which was similar to this. After I left a past company, an engineer flubbed a validation which allowed a subtle bug to go undetected for 10 days which cost the company $500,000. $50,000&#x2

Any openings for a "zen master"? The most ridiculous one I've seen was "dragon slayer".

I ported a project to Rust and then ported it to C++14 (which is awesome!), but I only did that because Rust was in a state of massive flux at the time and I got tired of the project breaking every two days due to changes to the compiler&#x

It's not trivia. If someone doesn't know the difference, they're going to allow bad data into our database. Large webapps with poor model validations are security and maintenance nightmare.

I use ^$ vs \A\z as an interview question for senior engineers. Sadly, it filters a lot of them out.

The reason you don't get a reply (in the US anyways) is for legal reasons. If you say anything which could be even remotely (mis)interpreted as some sort of bias, your company could lose lots of money/time and potentially go ba

It's not people, though. It's bots! While changing the ssh port adds a comically small amount of security (if any), it isolates you from 99.99% of automated attacks and keeps those logs clean, so I'd recommend it for everyo

Changing the port to something other than the default (even to something obvious like 22222) will get rid of all the log spam. You could also use something like fail2ban, but changing the port is much simpler.

Great news, thanks! I apparently signed up for the Windows Insider program a few months ago. :)

I gave your presentation a quick look. Maxmind - good. Not like there's many choices here, though. :) Instead of "waking up to sync logs", consider using something like NSQ to emit events as they happen. You can scale the

I'll write a blog post on it later called "So you want to build a realtime bidding system?" and submit it to HN. :)

Yes, you are correct. The 300k was total across all datacenters. 85% of that was in the US, 10% in Europe, and 5% in Asia.

Anycast will spread incoming requests out to N physical machines, then you can do your layer 3 load balancing, then you can do your SSL termination and HTTP load balancing. We didn't use anycast, though. I suggested it to our CTO many

Maybe it's more specific... like a person from the "southern" USA meeting someone from Wales? They'd have quite a hard time understanding each other.

Should I just buy a Windows 7 license to get a free upgrade to Windows 10?

Thanks for the tip. I've been playing games on Windows 8.1 without any noticeable issues, but I will keep this in mind. I'll likely not upgrade this pirated copy of Windows 8.1 to 10 (since it literally only has Steam installed)
