anonfunction

That is correct, however the beginning of the file does have a signature: https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#signature-for-mp4

It does not what? Can you share quotes from the article or the translated article source you read?

Confusion:

Are you saying that ffmpeg doesn't detect file by extension?

or

Are you saying that ffmpeg won't execute the malicious code if it's found appended to a valid video?

It verifies that the beginning of a file is mp4 format. I'm actually running go 1.6 which does have the mp4 sniffing enabled.

Can the malicious video file be an actual mp4 file? We're accepting video and running it through ffmpeg, however we first verify the file is an mp4 using https://golang.org/src/net/http/sniff.go

That's odd because it's the opposite of the stated policy. I came to say that the original title and article, in my opinion, had a much different meaning and intent.

    Hacker News Title: Don't Configure Applications

I really like How to Disagree[1] which has this wisdom that I've seen ring true at startups, especially when there is loose terminology and no documented communication.

> More often than not, two people arguing passionately about something are actually arguing about two different things. Sometimes they even agree with one another, but are so caught up in their squabble they don't realize it.

Another great one is Startup = Growth[2] which is great for clarifying the term and setting some expectations to benchmark against.

This is awesome! I've always loved algolia and their passion. I use the hacker news search[1] all the time.

If you're a rubyist check out Lita[1] which is a ruby bot framework that has many adapters[2] to work with various chat services like IRC, slack, etc...

I've never heard of this game, maybe a description or link to a wikipedia page[1] in the readme would be good.

Here's a good article[1] I read the other day by the often exuberant Eric Elliott.

Edit: Another good article[2] that's also node specific using mocha, which I really like and is in my estimation the most used.

Here's a cool demo that is interactive: https://blockly-demo.appspot.com/static/demos/plane/index.ht...

Really like the announcement of botkit[1], I was just looking at adding a vote bot to our slack and only found a really old example that ended up not working.

I was also happy to see the reference to one of my favorite all-time movies, The Big Hit.

I recently switched from Grafana to Kibana due to the lack of different visualizations and sometimes data would not show up in the graphs, leaving blank spaces. The data was in influxdb. Nice to hear you're building your own project that gives you more freedom to build the best product you can.

Siege is very comparable but vegeta has a lot more output options such as graphs, JSON, CSV, etc...

Another tool I forgot to mention was wrk (and now wrk2) which are unique in that they are scriptable via lua.

I've used siege for a long time and never had any problems.

However, I'm easily tempted by the new and shiny which led me to find another great HTTP benchmarking tool: https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta

Did you create another API doc design? Are there plans to support the other specs like Swagger or RAML?

Chartboost does, along with their twenty foot t-Rex

This is exactly what I was hoping for.

I'll go with your setup because it's pretty much exactly what I had in mind and similar to my previous setup besides the mechanical keyboard and headphones.

Thanks for the very detailed help and providing links!

How long has he been in the team? If he's been with you longer than six months then I would offer a nice severance package.

Just tell him the truth, it's not that his work is terrible, but you need amazing. Let him know he'll have a great reference if needed and you're still his friend.

I'd love to have some sort of spec to implement this in Go. I'll just go by the source but I love the simplicity compared to the standard Linux commands.

In the demo I started typing United States and it was showing a bunch of other countries above United States.

Umlauts are the two dots above a letter, quite common in German I believe.

I use gometalinter which runs it through a whole suite of linters.

The scroll-jacking on that site is extremely frustrating.

I really love the developer command line in recent versions of Firefox. Shift + f2 brings it up.

Any plans to open source the code?
