heroic··on Why we moved from NodeJS to Ruby on Rails
Exactly the point being raised i'd say!
heroic··on Why we moved from NodeJS to Ruby on Rails
The point is that the rack middleware would be called for everything, which is very heavy for something so trivial
heroic··on Why we moved from NodeJS to Ruby on Rails
Shopify is using rails. The thing is rails is bad when there are a whole lot of short life requests. This is what twitter had. The entire rack middleware being loaded for every tweet.

This is a great task. The world needs more people with the feeling of giving back to society.
heroic··on Passwords For Your Facebook Account
in that case all variants of passwords would work which does not happen
heroic··on Passwords For Your Facebook Account
You are right, but given the fact that most people still use very common words for their passwords, a 3 times increase is a very huge number. A recent story on HN stated the fact that passwords from sites that had their databases leaked, mostly consisted of dictionary based passwords.
heroic··on Passwords For Your Facebook Account
imo, their are comparing the hash of the 3 versions against a stored hash. This will help slowing down brute force attacks(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt), although it does make brute force attack 3 times easier, since now you can hit the correct password 3 times with the same set of characters.

They dont need to store your pasword in plaintext for this, but it does raise a security concern. 3 times the chances to have your password guessed by brute force!
