It's custom code which pulls the latest commit when github hook hits the endpoint. It's... a few lines of code.

It's only me working on this so I run the tests before each push but I guess running the tests on the staging env will be like a few more lines of code. I s'pose at some point I'd want to keep test results and I'll need a build server.
May be.

Forgot to say that I also deploy everything on heroku (for free) as a staging environment (before pushing to production).

heroku + mongolab + redis to go.

ah yes, and new relic for monitoring what's happening on live.
I get the idea of charging freelancers to cut out the really bad ones, but who's to guarantee the quality of projects/clients? If you had some sort of system that also filtered clients/projects, then I would seriously consider subscribing. You've got one side figured out, but you need to figure out both, otherwise you'll lose all your subscribers because of the crappy clients.

In addition to paying, you should also consider screening every freelancer and client/project (any increase in quality for either side of the pie is really important).

Aside from that, good job on the website!

Ubuntu Edge pledge graph - with estimations
Reminds me of my old Motorola Atrix [1]. It had a laptop docking shell that booted a restricted version of Ubuntu alongside an instance of Android. It was totally cool, and everyone that saw it was amazed. However, actual usage was another story. Tegra2 just wasn't powerful enough to drive Ubuntu and Android concurrently in a usable manner.

> That's basically the definition of financial security.

I feel like I'm in crazy town. What kind of definition is that? So, anyone with less than 15-20 million in the bank is financially insecure. Just like the article, which claims that "go[ing] out to expensive bars all the time in the City" is some kind of unfortunate necessity for people with high-paying jobs.

Is it just me or is there a serious lack of perspective going on here?
Indeed. As long as we're recommending Schneier's books, his most recent ("Liars & Outliers") would also seem quite relevant.

Mozilla was responsible for the original WebGL specification:

"WebGL grew out of the Canvas 3D experiments started by Vladimir Vukićević at Mozilla. Vukićević first demonstrated a Canvas 3D prototype in 2006. By the end of 2007, both Mozilla[6] and Opera[7] had made their own separate implementations.

In early 2009, the non-profit technology consortium Khronos Group started the WebGL Working Group, with initial participation from Apple, Google, Mozilla, Opera, and others.[4][8] Version 1.0 of the WebGL specification was released March 2011.[1] As of March 2012, the chair of the working group is Ken Russell."

Seems like it worked fine, so why not do it again?
Simple Ruby gem I was surprised didn't exist (that I could find): `validates_twitter_username`

Given user input for username, ensure it is valid. Two levels of verification - one would be probably regex based that the username matches twitter restrictions (valid characters, length less than 15), one that pings twitter to confirm the account is registered. Appropriate ActiveRecord errors etc

Good experience if you aren't familiar with packaging a gem and publishing to rubygems as well.

I'm wih you on that. While we're probably in the minority, at least in the U.S. PayPal is not a monopoly with Stripe and other services around, so I make it an effort not to use PayPal and it's easy to do so. I havent't logged into PayPal in years and probably don't even remember my password.

You're never somewhere where there's a TV screen with HDMI?

A bluetooth keyboard + HDMI cable can fit in my pocket.

EDIT: And part of the point is for this to eventually replace your desktops too, so you don't need to have everything spread out over multiple computers.
Granted. But how do you propose that AT&T would ever be reprimanded without someone like weev?

I strongly believe that weev should have notified AT&T before Gawker. But if they were unresponsive, as often happens, what then?
Absolutely. Almost any small business will pay $1-200/month (often more!) for anything that saves or makes them $500-2000/month in money. The key is being able to communicate and help them find and define the problem that can do this.

Walking into any small business and saying "If I could save or make you anywhere between $500 and $2000 a month, would you be interested?" without a problem identified to solve finds more opportunities than anyone can imagine.

The #1 cost in any business is labour, if you save people time, and create a business case of how many hours literally are saved per week, and how many dollars are printed.

Learning to add and create value, however is at the root of not being able to make money, and understanding one's own value, genuinely and bringing that to a conversation is something that's always worth working on.
Excellent, after the whole furore with Bercow it'll be interesting to see whether the defamation laws will be used to the same effect. That High Court ruling set a very clear precedent about what can and can't be classed as libel, and given that there was less actual libel in her tweet compared to this then it'll be like shooting fish in a barrel.

I still think the libel laws need gutting, but it'll be interesting to see them used to spectacular effect against someone who should know exactly how much trouble they'll get in.
His video shows that he filed radars on July 19th - the same day downloaded the 100,000 developer names and email addresses.

I hope he's arrested soon. This behavior does nothing to help legitimate business or the security community.

tl;dr no, there is no problem with it in the browser space

Step 1. Red Hat creates a CA and ships key with OS.

Step 2. Red Hat creates a keystore that allows any developer to add their own key.

Step 3. Package is created.[1]

Step 4a. Package is signed by Red Hat when they create the package.[2]

Step 4b. If 4a not followed, Package is signed by the package creator using their key from the Red Hat keystore.

Step 5. User downloads package.

Step 6. User installs package. Package signature is verified.[3]

[1] As with all Linux distros, packages are either created/approved by a distribution release manager or made by 3rd parties completely independent of the distro.

[2] Just like with browsers and certs, you can install a 3rd-party CA for a 3rd-party package if you want, but the key distribution is left up to the user to do safely. Most people don't do this.

[3] Again, just like with browsers and certs, a package signature is either signed by a CA or by a developer. If it's CA-signed, the OS already has the cert, and it is verified. If it's developer-signed, the developer's public cert is shipped with the package. Some crypto math tells you whether this developer cert was created by the CA or is a phony.

Red Hat can do this for virtually no cost; they just need to host a public web service that lets you create a signed key. They already host tons of free public services, so I don't see how this would be an issue for them. Not to mention someone could host a distro-independent service that does this exact same thing, and every distro could include its CA.

The only "problem" here is people have wacky expectations of trust. Bob creates a distro, Sally creates some software, and Frank creates a package of the software for the distro. You have to trust all three of them - which you can do by accepting all of their signed keys.

But realize that there is no "easy" way to trust Frank. Frank's essentially a stranger. We don't trust Frank in the browser world, so I don't know why we're expected to trust him with our packages.

"On April 8, 2003, during the US-led invasion of Iraq, Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Ayoub was killed when a US warplane bombed Al Jazeera's headquarters in Baghdad."

"Disturbingly, more journalists were murdered in targeted killings in Iraq than died in combat-related circumstances, according to the group Committee to Protect Journalists."

""Between 2003 and 2010 more than 30 Iraqi journalists were detained and held in prisons in Iraq by the Americans," she explained. "All of these journalists were arbitrarily arrested by the Americans, just as they continue to be arrested by the Iraqi government today.""

That was really my intention, but I could see sysadmin and such being part of the user base. I am not sure sure on Designers, but I wouldn't decline a job that has a designer focus.
It's telling how they mention incredible performance/power ratio only in passing, but focus their pitch on the unified architecture across different classes of machine (mobile to supercomputer), rather like Fred Brooks' 360 project at IBM.
It's certainly not a necessity, but in my experience and observations it's a strong draw.

Peer pressure, opportunity, and the pressures of the job (which makes you feel that you deserve a good time after all this hard work - work hard play hard) conspire to make it very hard not to indulge in an expensive social life when you're in a banking job.

Some people will resist that and save up anyway. Usually those who resist the pull the best are those with young children - another major financial drain.

I personally don't need £20m in the bank to feel financially secure, because I rely on my ability to earn more, and I account for that. £20m sounds about right if you want a very high likelihood of being able to retire on a perma-holiday for the rest of your life, though. I'd find that terribly tedious, myself, which is why I don't need anywhere near £20m!

Another egregious example of web people confusing "distributed system" with "supercomputer." This is in addition to the parallela people, who have confused "cluster" with "supercomputer." In both cases, network latency and FLOPS are wholly inappropriate for the nomenclature "supercomputer." Is it interesting work? Yes. But let it stand on its own merits, and stop trying to inflate the accomplishment by claiming it's got anything to do with HPC.

I don't think that bandwidth is the problem. Technical knowledge is the problem. See, someone (AAPL) designs a beautiful box that does what you want (call it Time Capsule) and all of a sudden, all that changes is the attack vector: The NSA/BND/... does not require the cloud provider to hand over the data, they just require a data collection interface on the box. Or a sync protocol that leaks or a master key since they're sniffing all internet traffic anyways. All you're doing is playing a game of whack a mole. What's required is a fundamental change in how secret services are monitored and bound by law and that's not something technology can do.

Great job on providing site for free for those posting jobs.

However how do you verify if the jobs or companies are legit?

The problem with companies posting jobs for free is that, it may attract companies who don't really value the developer's work, both in effort and monetary compensation. I have seen a lot of companies like that and companies that are legit and who really value developers don't really mind paying a fee to get good developers.

Congratulations on launching!

One quick potential problem I've found: it's easy to find out who the job is for by searching for a sentence from their post and finding other places they've posted.

I'm not sure how you're going to find a way around that unless you only show a unique summary of each post—enough to give a flavour and entice the signup, but not enough to give away who the job is for.

Or perhaps I'm just tight and others will be happy to pay for conveniences sake.

If you google, there are quite a few companies trying to sell the idea that now is the time for property investment in Detroit. Prices are incredibly low, there are quite a few people whose credit rating will not allow them to buy for a few years, and rent prices apparently haven't gone down.

Are they right? In general, I doubt it, but there almost certainly must be neighborhoods that will turn into nice small suburbs surrounded by nature that formerly was part of a larger suburb. Which ones is anybody's guess/a matter of expertise of property investors.
