    The latest repository being used and advised for this attack is https://github.com/notification-on/gitcoin.com .

    Even more confusingly, "ate" is pronounced differently depending on the temporal tense: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/ate

    I don't compile my own software against glibc and run it in Alpine. As mentioned previously, this package was created ~ 6 years ago to run software compiled against glibc (that did…

    Ah, thanks for the pointer. The blog post referenced the Alpine package I maintain but was obviously implicitly referencing those Docker images.

    I don't provide "alpine-glibc" Docker images or containers, so I don't really know what you're referencing here. I maintain an Alpine package called `glibc`. Please enlighten me!

    Maintainer of the Alpine package referenced here. It's called `glibc`, makes no claims on Alpine Linux and certainly isn't a Linux distribution. You install the package in Alpine L…

    Maintainer of the Alpine package referenced here. The same name for what? The package name is `glibc`. I think you're confusing/conflating the source control repository's name with…

    Maintainer of the Alpine package you referenced here. I'm not a "them". ;) I don't see where "Alpine" is used in the package name, unless you're referring to the source repository …

    Maintainer of the Alpine glibc package referenced here. For some background context, this package was originally created to solve a specific problem long before Alpine provided gli…

    I'm assuming the author was referring to this plugin: https://github.com/smashedtoatoms/asdf-postgres

    Have you looked at the API documentation or user guides? It seems like you've commented on marketing aspects without looking at the product itself.

    Have you looked at the Haskell QML bindings? They generally work for cross platform requirements. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hsqml-0.1.1/docs/Graphics...

    What you are seeing/referencing is the output of commands during earlier runlevels; the X server won't start until runlevel 5 (number selected off the top of my head). That said, i…

    There's a typo on the README site that might indicate that they had similar ideas: `Google Analtyics`

    Sadly, this blog post appears to me as an over extrapolated version of "write tests for your code: you'll thank yourself later". I don't see what it adds to the topic, apart from a…

    I find it saddest to see a university graduate with an honours degree (cum laude for the Yanks) and majors in economics, philosophy and politics go straight into marketing. In part…

    Actually Facebook agrees with me so much that they rewrote PHP as a C++ macro called hiphop, and no longer use PHP. A specious comment - hiphop transforms PHP to optimised C++ and …

    As previously discussed on HN, Robert Eisele's fork of PHP (at v5.3.6) which attempts to fix many of the issues. http://www.xarg.org/2011/06/php-hacking/

    A large number of people have previously pointed this out. You're selling the virtues of mod_php, rather than PHP itself. As other have pointed out in this thread, you can easily c…

    Great work! I've created a WordPress plugin for this - it contains the JavaScript file locally to reduce the potential load on the js.sopablackout.org domain. YMMV. https://github.…

    Perhaps visiting the W3C website ( http://w3.org/ ) is a good place to start if you are looking to understand how the Web works. Learning to "code" is not a short journey for the u…

    the 'security' block should really be at the top of the README. lines like "fredit has rudimentary security features." just underline how much ruby needs perl's taint option. while…

    Using a search engine would give you numerous examples (c.f. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=php+security+hole ) Actually asking for examples sounds like a trolling attempt to me.
