You missed a few steps:

  brew install rbenv
  brew install ruby-build

Copy the line it gives you to your shell's rc file and source it/open a new term:

  rbenv install 1.9.3-p125
  rbenv global 1.9.3-p125
  gem update --system
  gem install rails
  gem install bundler # optional, recommended

When a new version of Ruby comes out:

  brew update
  brew upgrade

Then just rbenv install and rbenv global it.

L0pht testified before Congress claiming that they could shut down the Internet globally in 30 minutes back in 1998. If I recall correctly, it was through attacks against BGP/BGMP. I can't find a non-broken source link, though.

Huh, interesting. I didn't know it had all that stuff. Thanks for the info.

You could use a redirection service. If they actually follow the redirects to the final destination, you could simply inspect the User-Agent header and redirect their automatic checker to a different page. If they pretend to be a browser by faking the agent, you can create a page with a hidden form (method=get, target=your_affiliate_url) that is submitted using Javascript.

You can buy foreign Paypal accounts for $100-200.

I'd be worried if Apple didn't remove apps with known exploits. Those apps run on a device that could have a list of your contacts, call history, and other personal data on it. On a handheld gaming system, that stuff doesn't exist.

POST alone isn't sufficient. You need CSRF protection, too (which, in this case, would protect from same-site request forgery).

Picture being excited to watch Return of the Jedi and seeing how the Star Wars saga comes to a conclusion.

Instead of the Death Star being destroyed, the Imperial assault on Endor being stopped, Vader's redemption, etc., the story goes off on a wild tangent for the last 10 minutes and brings no conclusion to anything. Did the Rebels on Endor survive? Did the Death Star get destroyed? Did Luke defeat Vader and the Emperor?

Too bad. You never get to find out, and there's other non-sensical scenes with an ending on a different planet with zero relation to anything that's happened in the Star Wars universe to date.

That's Mass Effect 3's ending.

Frontrunning isn't measured in milliseconds. It's microseconds (and soon nanoseconds).

I have multiple friends working at Twitter. The frontend is still all Rails.

Try installing Ghostery. It blocked 11 external JS files from loading on that page for me.

He could roll Steve Jobs style and have no plate.

Frontrunning is definitely shady, but (from what I've read) only a small subset of HFT firms actually have the setup to do it. Those firms have custom FPGAs implementing the minimum amount of the Infiniband spec because anything else is too slow. They also pay a boatload to colocate their servers physically right next to the exchange backbones.

Most HFT is not frontrunning.

I've read some of their analyses before. Most people automatically associate HFT with the Flash Crash and claim it's bad for the market. The HFT algorithms pulling out of the market exacerbated the Flash Crash by drastically reducing liquidity, so there's some anecdotal evidence at any rate.

nginx was probably using around 20mb ram, too. 24gb is ridiculously unnecessary, but it was probably the least the author could get with the rest of the specs.

Isn't "large amounts of liquidity" enough?

I don't believe that's the reason. It's a relatively new phenomenon.

If you region-lock your games, then people in Europe/Asia can't buy the cheaper North American version and play it locally.

Make sure you set up your SPF record. It'll look something like:

  "v=spf1 a mx include:sendgrid.net ~all"

You can check your current one with:

  host -t txt yourdomain.com

Yours will likely differ based on your needs, but you need the include: for SG there.

Send an email through SG to a Gmail address and check the full headers. Look for spf=pass and that they're attaching all the DKIM info.

Agreed. It probably had more to do with the fact that their store, game details, etc. views were pretty complex. They seem to have solved a lot of that crossplatform pain by implementing most of that stuff using Webkit.

You actually can't downvote submissions at all. Your only option is to flag it.

Underrepresentation != racism/sexism/any other -ism

The overwhelming majority of carpenters are male. Does this make carpenters' unions sexist? Of course not.

I'd hire a talented developer even if they had green or purple skin.

You mean:

  brew install jack

Interesting, thanks. I was a dirty Windows user back then.

Every Blizzard game released in the last 17 years has been released on PC and Mac at the exact same time (as far as I can recall).

They already did the overwhelming majority of the work. Developing that kind of stuff is expensive. I've seen estimates of ~100MM USD quoted for the discovery of a new drug.

Do you really think a non-technical person is going to follow these steps? Excuse me while I LOL.

Ah, I misunderstood. Sorry.

That's the joke, e.g., "Ruby on Rails expert with 10 years of experience wanted"
