Tried 3 times, got the locked out error. Got frustrated, said I'd fix it after lunch, went out to eat, came back about 3 hours later after a doctor's appointment.

My boss was waiting for me at the department door and I got sent back to his office for a stern talking to. I had locked out the production user from the database, causing every app in the company to go offline. I was then told to read aloud back all of the projected sales losses from that day as well as write a bunch of letters for our top sales people who couldn't make sales that day.

Wasn't fired (thankfully). Made it to a senior lead, so if I had to say anything, it's that the punishment really made it really drive home and I _never ever did it again_ . :)

As a customer, Rob, what would be a good avenue to notify you of issues like this in the future? Not every company wants to be front and center of what is essentially the news hub of tech people like HN for issues, so is there some way we can get with you guys directly to straighten security issues out, as well as some assurances as how you'll handle it along the way?

Thanks for your attention to the issue :)

I feel this is a bad way to approach it and a bad attitude in general. Showing people how this can be exploited (after responsible disclosure) is a great opportunity to spread awareness of potentially their own issues in the same space and create points of discussion. If a user feels compelled to do so, they can seek out the info. But to show disdain to the reader for their lack of knowledge comes off as unprofessional in spirit.

QT5 Webkit :)

But it's so much different now. It feels less like a well crafted experience and more just an alternative. It was always an alternative, but a complementary one at that. You could buy a hammer, but you could also buy this nice, shiny, beautiful hammer, weighted perfectly to swing like an extension of your arm, etc.

I started getting this feeling right around the first iPhone release after Jobs passed away. As much as I romanticized it here, I wouldn't exactly call myself an Apple fan, nor a Jobs fan, but the sort of impact and hype he could build felt a lot more exciting than Cook for me. And that kinda sucks because I know Apple has some great people with even greater ideas.

EDIT: And as antirez said above, you can WAIT to force synchronization to all nodes, so you would be pretty likely to fail over onto a node that has n-1 messages if it didn't sync in time. That still isn't guaranteed however.

1: Of course, other than leveraging existing CF knowledge.

I'm not excited about it as much anymore :\

As a child I had a pretty severe stutter which is not as pronounced now, and the feeling I got from that is the same feeling I get now as an adult with my reading.

I've not experienced the dream one, at least in any way that I can remember. I tend not to dream in general however.

And just like your second bullet point, on several occasions I've approved written material that was quite poor because my brain filled in the blanks with what I thought sounded nice :)

Hey Fabien, if you read this, you're super cool and you write amazing articles.

It'd be very easy to say "Don't spend what you don't have." but unfortunately many people need more than they're given.

I think it'd be really cool if you dropped some of the defensiveness and used your position to help offer some suggestions to the problem. I know it's hard to see it from other angles that may not directly benefit you, but it'll help extend a resource that might disappear if people disagree with it hard enough en masse.

I'm not sure if this article exists only for the money, some agenda, or merely fearmongering. But in any case, the fact that it is getting so much attention and this kind of reporting is considered good journalism is worrying to me.

By the way, this looks really nice. It's an electron app, but it references having "a small fast C core library in the style of Node.js and NGINX." Can you go into more detail about the architecture of this and how it's related to Node and NGINX?

I feel like a large part of the group making who believe Linux is gaming ready doesn't understand that angle.

In this case, I think a positive of some sort to give the employee a reason to reveal this automation. People shouldn't be afraid to tinker and learn in the face of punishment.

The columns aren't lining up properly and the bold yellow is pulling my eyes away pretty harshly.

But when I finally opened it up, wow. You can appreciate just how dense the information is. It really reads as if no sentence was written without some purpose of conveying information. Definitely go slow reading this series so you can properly ingest what's written.

At that point, Windows 10 became a liability, and that laptop still doesn't have automatic updates turned on anymore. (It still gets routine manual updates, but it's definitely not ideal.)
