It doesn't work that way. Rails is a major reason for the kind of push Ruby got.

There was a time when CGI and Perl were synonymous. You won't believe how many people have a similar opinion about JQuery and Javascript these days.

A few days back I wanted to use a object oriented language for a big project. Generally I straight away go and use Perl for all my experiments. But since this time I wanted Java programmers to be working with my project later I thought let me use Python as its more syntactically closer to Java. When I started coding, my manager peeked over my shoulder and asked if it was Python in which I was coding I replied yes. He immediately asked me to stop writing in it, as he thinks writing in 2.x is waste of time as it is going to go away, 3.x is not yet having all the libraries. And writing 2.x will force a huge rewrite effort later. I tried and reasoned enough to convince other wise. But alas, it didn't fly.

That is how it works with pointy haired managers. They read something some where and then hold strong opinions about a particular technology.

As programmers we can try and educate people in forums like these.

But managers don't read these forums. They are likely to read magazines from IBM and Oracle, where XML's are glorified and eclipse is presented as the biggest productivity booster ever. Unless we get a forum on such magazines, we won't be able to make much difference.

Flat Stomach Is Every Girl's Dream 
As we know that all women’s wants a flat stomach .For making their stomach in perfect shape they can also go for gym not for building abs but for perfect figure. The majorities of the female population don’t want to have men's abs, but would rather have a nicely toned belly that make them more beautiful.
Except that when he turned Wifi back on the problem would still exist. So it is not a fool proof solution to the problem.

> and how they should never have had such a vulnerable bug in the first place is even worse.

Bugs happen. Even stupid oh-my-god-i-can't-believe-i-did-that bugs happen. And they happen to the best of us.

However, when someone reports a vulnerability about my code to me or I discover a problem myself, the very first thing I do is break out the grep. I grep the shit out of my code. Because I am a human being. I am a creature of habit. And if I screwed up in one place, I promise you, I did it in other places too.

The problem? Github didn't do that. At least, that's the impression from the information coming out. The guy reported the issue on Friday, they fixed that specific instance of the issue ... and it remained a problem in other places. That is unacceptable and unprofessional. They should have burned the midnight oil and made sure the same problem wasn't prevalent in other parts of the code.

Having said that, I am a loyal Github client and will remain so. Every service provider I use gets a once-a-year-screw-up credit. Github just used theirs. Switching because of one incident is premature and will be sure to cause regrets.

One thing we are looking into is building a sort of roommate resume. We have data on how much you borrow from friends, how long you take to pay back, how often you do and don't do your chores, etc...

I find as I am transitioning out of college, I am about to move again to a new place and now I'll need to find new roommates. I personally would pay a fee to have access to good roommates to choose from, especially if its backed up by some sort of tangible history (badges, analytics, etc.)
There's also a lot of opportunity here to make a game out of something not fun. Game mechanics are perhaps a bit over done, but none the less, it could be fun to compete against roommates for the title of best roommate. Hell, we could even incorporate something where all the roommates take a pool ($10 each for example) and the roommate with the highest points at the end of the month gets it.
Ah, so there is something simple you can set. It would probably make sense for at least Google to set that attribute on their text fields if abuse of these diacritics continues to proliferate.

It is Thai character (so suea, ส) with vowel (mai taikhu, -็) stacked together several times. In Mac OS X stacked vowels/tone markers will never appear beyond baseline[1][2] which is "correct" since we don't stack them vertically beyond 2 levels (vowel+tone marker, or 3 if you count the lower part); on Windows and maybe Linux it will appear stacked[2].

I just searched for 'Visual Basic'... Salary Estimate

What you're not able to do a bing search for is how long-term these high-paying Visual Basic jobs are going to last. There's no future in Visual Basic because it's not for building apps in a mobile computing paradigm. It's an old-school desktop GUI paradigm, the paradigm that is quickly being replaced with mobile computing... where Microsoft is at an enormous disadvantage. Nobody is building mobile apps using Visual Basic.

>The entire MS stack has been abandoned by the next generation of innovators.

I appreciate the feedback! We are still playing with the idea of how viable this is as an actual business. For me this gave me an opportunity to escape from the more standard tasks of freelance development and a chance to implement all the new toys (MongoDB, Backbone, CoffeeScript, Bootstrap, etc.). That being said, I think there are some interesting ways that this could become quite profitable. If not, it's still a great way to put my name to something when applying to incubators on other ideas
Thanks for the praise!
Greetings, having lived with 2 roommates for a good time period, I was very interested checking out how you are trying to solve some of the issues surrounding it.

Here is my immediate feedback:

1. Overall looks good, professional enough to trust. (Personally, not a big fan of vanilla Bootstrap 2.0. But I'll hopefully be one in thousand users who even know what that is)

2. Awesome, a clear call to action! However, I was hesitant because besides a bunch of icons and paragraphs of promises, it's not tangible how it works and how you are solving issues better than a bunch of magnets, a fridge and small pieces of paper. Add a walk-through or at least a few screenshots.

3. Login with Facebook only (as noted by others) makes sense but I'm not a big fan of this being the only option. Case in point, one of my past roommates did not have a facebook account.

4. Join or create a "Room" -- Errr... This naming made no sense (to me) whatsoever. Why are you replacing 'shared residency' or 'house' or 'apartment' with 'room'? To me, this is silly and - in my interpretation - seems like an overly clever play on the words 'room' and 'roommates'. Unless of course, you think we all sleep in bunk-beds in the same physical room (which, if you live in New York City is a possibility).

Okay, so I am now on my dashboard, I understand that my other roommates need to be invited. Okay. Instead, I'd like to poke around a bit first. I'd like to schedule/add chores, some existing bills, todos etc. so that, when they join, there is something to use/look at. Hm, that doesn't work because of some before_filter requires me to have them join first. That's a no-go for me.

Right now, I still have _no_ _idea_ how this thing works, what kind of forms/options you are going to give me and if they apply to the specific real-world situation (since there was nothing to be seen or checked-out pre-registration).

Because of the requirement of invitation, I can't move forward checking out what it does, so I'm losing interest quickly and am bound to leave and possibly never return.

Keep up! Looking forward to the next iteration :)
Because most colleges teach "computer science" not "software engineering". Computer science is primarily about abstract concepts, and not so much about necessarily doing anything worthwhile with them

A computer science curriculum (even a theoretical one) need not consist only of abstract concepts. And it need not include software if the purpose is to have a theoretical curriculum. I've always been a fan projects whose primary purpose is to help you learn the concepts. My favorite courses have been of the type where the problem sets are: "read this paper; understand it; implement the algorithms; write a report with results and discussion."
I believe Google does track "click through - click back" timing, specifically to limit the impact of this effect. Whether or not it's effective is another question.
Well, it's actually a bit more complicated, because overflow: hidden doesn't play nicely with elements that change their size depending on how much content is inside them. But it could be part of an overall solution.

Terrible analogy. More like someone's automatic door lock is opening by itself at random times of the day, and the owner doesn't believe it, so you leave a note on the inside. It's creepy, but not wrong.

Of course, in practice no one is responsible for misuse of the DMCA. Google would have a better incentive to control misuse of any "correction" feature, but it would still probably end up being used to censor things occasionally.

It's a difficult problem to solve both because of Google's primary goal (provide an accurate representation of what people are looking for) and the difficulty of deciding who's actually "responsible" for a given category of content.
Internet Companies Suck at Feelings
Nobody tries to have these kinds of discussions on Facebook because it's obviously the wrong place (my mom doesn't care what I think of bit-shifting). Disqus is fine because it's in the context of the blog post. People have to seek it out. Twitter is fine because conversations are not globally visible, they are filtered by @replies to relevant parties.

Google Plus was seeded with Google employees and they are the most enthusiastic users so it is filled with these kinds of discussions.
So far it looks great. A full screen button for the videos would be nice, though.
I do. Well, not private messages, but the rest of it (including all the forks). Checked into branches of the git repository so any clone has all the data.

Or more specifically, since the public keys objects require an associated user, the old chestnut:

@user.public_keys.build(...)

.. where @user is retrieved in a role based manner (that is, you only get the right @user if you are authorized to get it.)

Ultimately, this is less an issue of mass assignment specifically and more an overarching one of allowing a user to perform an action in the guise of another. But, of course, these mistakes are commonly made by developers of all skill levels! :-) (me included)
You are not getting the point about this situation.

The rants that are coming in are not about what has happened, but what could have happened.

Imagine a situation if somebody had deleted all the data or worse committed malicious code to important repos. And then used it create a bigger mess later it would have been disastrous.

If this can't be taken seriously I don't know what can be.
I usually use "my_gmail_username"+service_name@gmail.com to subscribe. If they start spamming me then I redirect all the email coming to "my_gmail_username"+service_name@gmail.com to my trash.

Email sent to "my_gmail_username"+service_name@gmail.com is delivered to "my_gmail_username"@gmail.com, Anything after + is ignored by gmail for email delivery.
I really think the actual issue here has been clouded over by reactions to the way the issue was handled. Sure it wasn't the most mature and professional way of handling the situation, it was illegal and he certainly didn't need to take it to the extent he did - but he put the issue to the forefront.
Github responded well although it does seem as they were trying to spin it as though they had the situation in hand more so than I believe they did - but thats just me.
Long story short - github handled it well, but the real story is hugely popular (techy) news - cant ask for better community awareness than that!

Ask HN: Finding work for a significant other
Hello!

Long-time lurker - first time asker. Seeking a bit of advice wrt helping a significant other find a job.

We recently relocated from Chicago to the Bay Area (around August of 2011). The decision to move was largely my own and I perhaps softened the blow of leaving 'home' a bit by assuring my significant other that she'd have no issue finding something here in the valley. She's got a rock solid resume and wonderful dotcom experience - it seemed like a no-brainer. In fact, I went so far as to convince her to quit a great gig back in Chicago (knowing she could work remotely) because she'd grown a bit tired of it after a number of years - and the West - if nothing else - still holds the romanticism of a fresh start (at least for me.)

So here we are, six months in - and she's still looking for an opportunity. She's had a couple of interviews thanks to some of the folks funding our endeavor who were able to put her in touch with other portfolio companies but the consensus thus far has mostly been: "Your resume is great, anyone would be lucky to have you, but we don't know how we'd use you here." That makes sense, her primary experience for the past several years has been in a hybrid consulting/strategy/sales/marketing role - she essentially traveled around the country helping old media move advertising spend online. It seemed that most of the folks she was being lined up with were largely business to consumer which her experience didn't square with. Fine.

The crux of the problem - it seems - is that we haven't yet built a deep/rich network in the valley. I'm starting to build that network - I'm already leveraging my contacts to get a few referrals but by and large she's resorted to submitting resumes into the great resume firewall of consulting orgs which has yet to yield much.

So - I say all of that to ask this. Anyone have a strategy for helping non-hacking newcomers to the valley find work? One that keeps you from having to blindly submit your resume in a form post and hope that a human can discern what an awesome person you are on the other end?

Is it:

- Find meetups?
- Go to networking events?
- Live in LinkedIn and ask for introductions?
- Volunteer?
- Beg, plead?
- All of the above?

Let this be a reminder to you all. Build the hell out of your network. Build locally, and build globally.

Thank you HN!!!

PS - This experience has definitely started making the wheels turn. Feeling like I should build something to support folks out of network/relocated. A few ideas have crossed my mind. Now gotta put some fingers to the keyboard.
It was added in Rails 3.1.
The amount of bad press GitHub has received from this has blown me away.

If anyone should be getting flamed for this, it should be the Rails maintainers that weren't open to the discussion.
I can tell you of a public figure's kid in another country whose camera was stolen and nude pictures were put up of him in another country. Nobody knows who did it but the pictures are hosted outside the country on a provider who doesn't care. They do know that considerable black hat SEO was put into making this a #1 result for the public figure. (I apologize for being intentionally vague but this is a source of embarrassment to the family.)

Trolls can be assholes. Google seems to favor the troll.
OP here. I think the combo of one-click unsubscribe and not sending a confirmation is perhaps a bit aggressive, and maybe it should be one or the other. Though to be honest, I am thrilled if sites have any one of the 4 (and some do).
Thanks for the subtitles. They would be easier to follow if overlaid directly on the video. I understand the transcript is supposed to be clickable/seekable, so maybe have traditional overlays as a full-screen option.

Ah that's right, in this case he's trying to make something that belongs to him belong to someone else. Regardless, something like user_id should be protected and really if you're setting up a website whose primary audience is made up of hackers you should be whitelisting on every model.
Why? What's the point of suspending his account?

There are two issues with any exploit: (1) prevent future exploits and (2) making sure that whoever discovered the exploit hasn't retained any unauthorized access.

Fixing the bug addresses (1) and suspending his account gives them time to address (2).

You're right of course. I've honestly been trying to avoid the Rails community for as long as possible (I'd like to avoid being associated with anyone who would call himself a "Rockstar Programmer"), and with Rails being as big as it is, I've pretty much avoided Ruby entirely.

Given the progress in making of a LASIK machines, you should ask yourself: "Which LASIK machine is better?"

Doctor's work nowadays is just holding your head while the machine cuts the flap, burns your eye to the pre-calculated geometry and applies flap to it's place. And then a little correction of a flap, to make sure that it is in place.

So the parameters you should consider are:

- flap cutting method (by laser, sapphire blades etc)

- laser working diameter (should be more than your pupil's size, or you will have night and dim-light vision problems - halos)

- how calming the doctor is

- what emergency measures do they have is case of problems with the procedure or after-procedure complications.

You should get a good amount of pre-operation procedures and know of possible complications, and know, do you qualify for correction. There are a lot of conditions when you shouldn't have the procedure.

I had a high myopia. Really high, like huge glasses. I've made a wavefront-guided LASIK procedure three years ago, the most expensive one they got at the clinic. I have applied drops for one and a half months as per doctor's order and haven't used them since, I don't have the dry eyes problem. Drops, btw, are just antibiotics and steroids to speed up the healing process.

It takes time to get used to the new optics of eyes. I had near-sighted face mimics for about 18 months (you know that when you see a nearsighted person without glasses). I had sensed some fatigue in my eyes for an year. I still have halos at night and my astigmatism hasn't gone away completely. But I think, it worth the inconvenience.

I have a great vision, something like 20/20 by the measuring, but it's not like the one I had as a child, when I had a perfect vision. It's not THAT good, but it's better than glasses and contacts.

Think of LASIK not as a cure: it's just like a always-on contact lenses, but better. After all, it's just a cosmetic surgery.

One of my pet peeves is returning to a game later. So many of them have "tutorials" or similar initial levels showing you how to play the game. You come back a month or two later and have forgotten the finer details and there is no quick summary to jog your memory. You often have to throw away current progress in order to start from the tutorial again, and the tutorial is tedious because you have already played it.
