    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 …

    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 bom…

    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 repor…

    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 undetect…

    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 proje…

    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 n…

    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 coul…

    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…

    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 chang…

    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…

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