This is awesome! Thanks for posting!

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 …

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" t…

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. ... T…

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…

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

I don't need marijuana for any of those things. Lucky me?

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 be…

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 o…

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, wit…

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 opc…

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 "…

ssh -D8080 -L3389:southkoreanupdatedistributionserver.kr:3389 -lfakeuser suspiciouschineseserver.cn Hey, instant proxy and remote desktop tunnel. I wonder what movies they have on …

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 som…

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 re…

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),…
