dcu··on Introducing Rubinius X
...until people realize the mess that is node.js. I would rather say Rails is dying because it no longer fits the new web programming paradigms.
dcu··on Foxconn using forced student labor to build Sony’s PS4
I think Apple uses foxconn as well.

dcu··on Ask HN: How to find problems worth solving?
Take a look at this pg essay: http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html
dcu··on Ask HN: Help We're having a baby. Now what?
I recommend you to watch this TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/rufus_griscom_alisa_volkman_let_s_t...

you'll find good tips in there

dcu··on Authy: Faster Two-Factor Authentication
To know if your mac is support before installing the app run this command:

    system_profiler -detailLevel full SPBluetoothDataType | grep "LMP Version"
it should be >= 6
dcu··on Padrino 0.11.3 Released
I wish I would have more time to contribute to the project.
dcu··on LivingSocial Hacked – 50 Million Customers Affected
it's well known that many users pick passwords like "password", "123456", "qwerty", etc...

so I don't think cracking many of those passwords will be a problem

dcu··on Bughub: A native Github Issues client for Mac and iPad
is there a way to put an api key or something? I am not very comfortable putting my password on external apps.

I've some feedback for you:

- when opening a repository it doesn't list the private ones. (though you can open it by putting its name manually) - markdown rendering could be better.

Otherwise seems very good so far, If I find anything else I'll let you know.

dcu··on Trolls Are Ruining Science Journalism
...and hacker news.
dcu··on ActiveRecord Vulnerability - Circumvention of attr_protected
Looks like this is actually an ActiveModel vulnerability and maybe mongoid is affected too.

Just like when rails people said they had a vulnerability in action dispatch but it was actually a YAML vulnerability. (both used in a lot of non-rails projects)

So please don't overlook this issue even if you are not using rails.

dcu··on Stripe adds two-factor auth
Take it easy men, He already stated he was wrong. Do not punish him for wanting to answer fast and be open with the Hacker News community.
dcu··on Authy: One token to rule them all
You don't access the token from multiple devices, just one(your phone).

Google's secret keys are weak but Authy's ones are 256 bits.

And finally, Daniel was wrong about the key derivation, we are actually using PBKDF2. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

dcu··on Google Maps for iOS
Excellent! I am downloading the app right now
dcu··on HAML vs ERB vs SLIM in terms of render speed
this is unfair with haml, you have to turn on the ugly mode.
dcu··on Show HN: Share, rediscover and keep track of all the gems you find on HN
you are right and yes, it search the title and content.
dcu··on Show HN: Share, rediscover and keep track of all the gems you find on HN
not sure why it says that. we only ask permissions for HN: https://github.com/SocialHN/social-hn-chrome/blob/master/man...
dcu··on Show HN: Share, rediscover and keep track of all the gems you find on HN
it works in background, the code is in github: https://github.com/SocialHN/social-hn-chrome
dcu··on Show HN: Share, rediscover and keep track of all the gems you find on HN
yes, it relies on an external server. This is an app we built for our selves, it solves a problem we all have had before so we are not thinking about killing it. Besides, I am thinking about making it open source so people can easily deploy their own version on heroku for free, it's just a couple of commands.

We'll suport reddit once we complete the HN extension, this is our roadmap:

- map HN usernames (so you can find people easily) - import saved links - save link to HN discussion

thanks man, if you have feature requests please let us know. We are already working on a plugin for Firefox.
dcu··on Why critics of Rails have it all wrong (and Ruby's bright multicore future)
Escaping everything by default to avoid XSS attacks. that's a nice feature to have.
dcu··on Why critics of Rails have it all wrong (and Ruby's bright multicore future)
yeah already saw it, but why are these hacks needed in first place? I am pretty sure there's a good way to fix rails to load faster in a reasonable amount of time (again, I am talking about big projects).
dcu··on Why critics of Rails have it all wrong (and Ruby's bright multicore future)
heh. running specs requires to boot rails, starting the console, switching branchs, reviewing code, etc...

rails boots fast if you have few files but when the project is big it is a pain, it takes a lot of time to boot and it's not fun. That's why the article says rails is "a day job".

I just hope the rails team don't think like you.

dcu··on Why critics of Rails have it all wrong (and Ruby's bright multicore future)
For me, the biggest problem with rails is that it boots really slow on development so it's really boring. I switched to padrino a while ago due to this issue. Also I prefer padrino's router since it's more explicit.
dcu··on Show HN: We built a better solution for customer analysis and support
looks very good. I'd suggest to rework the video since I can't see anything. Also I would move the how it works section (http://lessneglect.com/customer-analytics#how-it-works) to the top of the page since it's the most important part you need to show to the people right now.
dcu··on Add two-factor authentication to your ssh in 30 seconds
You are not forced to use SMS, you can always use the smartphones apps.
dcu··on Add two-factor authentication to your ssh in 30 seconds
Authy offers apps for smartphones. I think you can see the Authy app running on an iphone in the video.
dcu··on Add two-factor authentication to your ssh in 30 seconds
Even if you restart the ssh server it won't prevent people from connecting to the server because SSH forks the clients.
dcu··on Add two-factor authentication to your ssh in 30 seconds
the problem is that google authenticator stores the seed in the phone(and the server) so if you lose it basically you lose the server too, right?
