Thanks for the feedback! Part of our roadmap includes "server-side" observables. This will allow state to be calculated and cached on the server side, so that clients don't have to recalculate the state of the universe every time there is a page load.

I'm hoping the proliferation of self-driving cars in San Francisco will bring about some alternative to emergency sirens, but who knows.

An unfortunate side effect of the overuse of these emergency vehicles it that makes it difficult for residents to get a healthy night's sleep. Frequent sirens and air-horns are the number #1 cause of noise pollution in the Tenderloin. Many residents here are elderly and low-income and cannot afford double-paned windows and thick curtains to protect from the noise.

Summary: There is a bug in Airbrake's gem that will cause a connection-pool leak in multithreaded Rails instances. This leak will eventually cause your app to crash.

I'm posting this here because this is a very common configuration and I imagine there a lot of people dealing with unexpected Rails crashes that are hard to track down.

The bug is actually fixed in master, Airbrake just needs to push a new gem.

What do you do with the random tokens after you've generated them?

The author's proposed solution of "Encrypt then authenticate" seems pretty reasonable.

It looks like Flow should work to the extent that it can infer types from your CS output, but it will be tricky to embed explicit types into your CoffeeScript source.

You can probably hack it using the backtick operator though.

    `function foo(x: string, y: number): string {`
    x.length * y
    `}`

That "Focus Tools" chrome extension looks like it could potentially help me from getting distracted. Disqualified!

It would be nice if a lambda could respond to web requests. Maybe an Elastic Loud Balancer could be an "event-source".

I've used the Blowfish cipher to obfuscate database IDs into youtube-like URLs. Blowfish has a small 64-bit blocksize which fits nicely into a base64'd URL param.

All proceeds will go to wishbone.org. Wishbone is a great charity that helps send low-income kids in the bay area and NYC to extracurricular classes and activities.

I think you are underestimating how competitive the ridesharing market is.

If Uber did this, their business would get eaten up by Lyft and other competitors. There is very little to prevent users from changing ride sharing companies, so they must compete fiercely on price.

blockr.io is only showing one block more than blockchain.info.

There has only been one block mining in the last two hours. Something appears to be affecting the miners. Does anyone have any more info?

I went a "computer camp" when I was about that age. I learned a lot but also I got to meet and interact with like-minded young nerds. I really enjoyed it. Best of luck!

I also think it's interesting how TV and movies portray caring for gunshot victims.

In the movies, the first priority is to remove the bullet from the victim, usually in a dramatic and agonizing way. Once the bullet is removed, the victim is miraculously cured.

In reality, the first priority is to stop the bleeding. Most of the time, doctors won't even attempt to remove the bullet. The bullets are sterilized from the explosion, and you'll generally do more harm than good by trying to remove it.

Coinbase is hosted on Heroku. So you are also trusting that Heroku and AWS don't have any disgruntled employees with production access that want to be instant millionaires.

Thanks! Got it!

Thanks! The site is build on top of a JSON api that would definitely allow this. This is sort of a "proof-of-concept" version, but there's a lot you could build on top of the concept.

For comparison, this is Google's position on Prop 8:

The tech and open source community owes a lot to its LGBT contributors. When their rights are being threatened, we should be the first in line to offer support. That is why this situation is so upsetting to many of us.

Thanks man. Do you take BTC tips? :)

Thanks! Looking forward to playing

Derivative request: Can someone make a version that displays values in hex instead of decimal?

What does your stack look like? If you're running a ruby app, check out rack-attack: https://github.com/kickstarter/rack-attack

It was created by kickstarter to fend off these kind of attacks.

This is great! In the past, I've had to write kudgy scripts to do this. Two features requests:

  - Syntax highlighting on code blocks
  - Ability to insert page breaks

Great work!
