angelortega | 11 years ago | on: Why the name?
So "ruby" is not a play on "perl"? I don't believe it.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: A website that deletes itself once indexed by Google
grep Googlebot /var/www/log/* && rm -rf /var/www/site

If you are storing important info in $CLOUD, think twice.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: .Trashes, .fseventsd, and .Spotlight-V100
So that .Spotlight-V100 store some kind of index, probably binary. I presume that any Mac reads it on any arbitrary USB drive it's plugged in (or, at least, when a search is triggered). By creating a specially-crafted, corrupted index I see a channel for denial of service attacks.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: Why curl defaults to stdout
tl;dr Because the author says so.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: Apple: Don’t do math in iOS 8’s Notification Center
You are being mean to Apple on HN. Expect being downvoted and eventually hellbanned.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: TXT Record XSS
Because two half serious make a full serious.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: We’re heading into a jobless future, no matter what the government does
Meanwhile, in "first-world" places like Spain we're on the verge of starvation due to global unemployment and poverty.
angelortega | 11 years ago | on: Why Game Developers Keep Getting Laid Off
It's a strange language when "getting laid" and "getting laid off" mean such different things.
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: This website has a lot of unclosed h3 tags
It's hipnotic. I absolutely love it.
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: What to say when someone is being an asshole
tl;dr
Stop being an asshole.
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: JSON5 is a proposed extension to JSON
Commas and colons are unnecessary clutter in JSON, that's what they should change, not adding more complexity in exchange for nothing (dangling commas at the end? please). Quotes inside keys and values should also be optional unless they contain spaces.
JSON should be simplified (if any), not made it more complicated.
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: Mysterious Mac and PC malware that jumps airgaps?
It sounds like a hoax to me. Even the "Dragos Ruiu" name is odd enough to be an anagram of something.
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: Hostnames
I've always used demonic names: belial, azazel, asmodeo, belcebu, astarot, kali, oni, behemoth, baal... (they are spanishized).
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: Codex Seraphinianus: A new edition of the strangest book
Also take a look at Antichthon Universalis (http://triptico.com/artwork/antichthon_universalis.html). The artwork is not as stunning (far from), but at least it's a real cypher with real meaning, still unbroken.
angelortega | 12 years ago | on: Don’t email me
Email him.

Why would I want a square in my prompt?
angelortega | 13 years ago | on: How Apple's Obsession with Google Is Hurting Apple
Upvoted, if only for the "infographic" on Google vs Apple Maps. LOL!
angelortega | 13 years ago | on: Am I An Outlier, Or Are Apple Products No Longer Easy To Use?
That's another myth. Apple products had never been easy to use. iTunes is heavy and cumbersome and play lists never work as expected. Wheel iPods had erratic behaviour and its random/shuffling were crap.
And please don't start talking about XCode and development in general.
Things have worsen these times. "Acceptably understandable" is not the same as "easy".
