Not quite. The essence of a double-spend attack is creating two transactions spending the same bitcoin: one to the merchant (call it A) and one to another of your accounts (call it B). You send A to the merchant and secretly submit B to ano

I don't know that comparing EC2 reserved instances to DigitalOcean is really "apples-to-apples", since DigitalOcean has hourly billing and no upfront cost just like EC2 on-demand, and unlike EC2 reserved.

I think the focus is on pedantic corrections that are entirely irrelevant to the discussion and serve only to make the commenter feel superior. For example, see this recent thread [1]. The first commenter proposes a device that would use a

A similar method is a "pepper", a form of salt common to all users and stored in the application configuration, allowing the passwords to resist attack even if the hash and user-specific salt are lost. The reason it's not often used is that

Well, not dangerous so much as will fail with a "Model instance is not JSON serializable" message. So of course you'll need to construct the list/dictionary representation of your data manually. A good framework can help with that, but this

It seems like when run on SCSS mode, it expands mixins before running the redundancy check. For instance, two of my selectors both include three of the same mixins, which end up expanding into 23 rules, and CSSCSS reports 25 shared rules be

You may want to mention that the Python library is not thread-safe, since it essentially uses a global variable to store the logged statements until the middleware writes them to the response. Shouldn't be a problem when used with a develop

It's certainly detectable with precise instruments, but it's not practical to test each and every bit of gold one acquires so thoroughly. Hence the opportunity for counterfeit gold that passes casual inspection and weighs about the right am

Tungsten has a density extremely similar to that of gold (19.25 g/cm³ for tungsten, 19.30 g/cm³ for gold), and is substantially less expensive. And tungsten counterfeiting does happen: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/tungsten-filled-10-oz-go

Memory corruption is generally defined as occurring when the contents of RAM are modified in a way not intended by the original programmers. [1] Under this definition, buffer overflow attacks would certainly qualify, as would this exploit.

I have a system exactly like this at my company, with a prettier UI on top of the SQL querying. I've been considering open sourcing it for a while; I wonder if there really is a demand for this, or if it's one of those things that everyone

Well, if they crashed on a certain block then the operators of the client would notice and presumably update to a newer version of the client. The problem in this case was more subtle: the old clients did not crash on the block, they simply

No. You would have 100% control of the subtree following that failing block, but it would be very quickly outpaced by another subtree that the rest of the network would be working on. You need to construct a block that close to 50% of clien

Puppet does have a single run mode of usage: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/apply.html I use it to manage just 5 servers, with a Fabric script that rsyncs the manifests up to the servers then runs `puppet apply` to apply the changes.

When run in client-server mode, Puppet will run every 30 minutes by default, overwriting local changes with the configuration on the server.

When defining our initial data schema, we forgot to put a unique constraint on user email addresses. There ended up being quite a few duplicates, so before we added the constraint I had to write a query to remove the duplicate users. About

When developing Javascript apps locally, I often use SimpleHTTPServer so I can access them through http:// rather than file:/// URLs, which tend to interact badly with the same-origin policy.

No, Django's XML deserialization is not used automatically. It is only used for mass importing objects to the database, which most sites would allow only admin users to do.
