phsr | 13 years ago | on: Rails 4.0: Release Candidate 1 released
What features are you using postgres_ext for? A lot of the ActiveRecord datatypes support is handled by Rails 4.0 (arrays, uuid, ranges, inet/cidr and macaddr are in Rails 4.0). I want to submit some pull requests to Arel to add support for some of the datatype operators
PS: I am the postgres_ext maintainer

You can do that, but you perjure yourself in the process, and won't take it down permanently. I could take down Rails by filing a bogus DCMA, but I'd have a lawsuit on my hands if Rails decided to pursue it

If it's Xobni, it's been around since at least 2008, I wouldn't say the copied Rapportive

The comparable Dell panel was the same price last time I checked (which didn't have all the extra ports/webcam/speakers)

Thats the default option on store.apple.com. I jumped from AT&T to VZW, and they put you on the Share Everything with no other option

This is assuming that you believe that Anonymous got a hold of an FBI agent's laptop

With REI, I think you need to re-buy the lifetime membership if you do not purchase anything at an REI store for an extended period of time (IIRC, it was a year)

This would be better if it used a template file instead of forking a whole repo.

phsr | 13 years ago | on: Startup Hackathon labels developers as 'resources'
Potentially less than 50/50. The "entrepreneur" gets $1k, the rest of the resources have to split the other $1k. Doesn't seem that fair to me
phsr | 13 years ago | on: "Android ICS already offers more than what is coming in iOS 6"
Hell, the 3GS is getting iOS 6. What 3 year old Android phone will get ICS? Like you said, I'm guessing not many if any at all. Agreeing with your point, Android is heavily fragmented, with phone manufacturers having the final say on which software gets deployed to their phones. Many of them are going to use new OS version to force software upgrades

One way we are going to get around this is that we plan to have a golden .tmux.conf that we will all use at DockYard, so that any non-standard bindings will be standard to us

phsr | 14 years ago | on: Two decades of productivity: Vim's 20th anniversary
I don't see where Textmate and Vim differ in an aesthetic sense when it comes to working with the editor. The chrome on the two may differ, but when you use the same font and syntax highlighting colors, they are going to look the same

This one[1] has more signatures

phsr | 14 years ago | on: Stop the E-Parasite Act
There was actually a meta-petition[1] recently that was asking for the White House to pay more attention to these petitions, so it seems like these petitions are mostly ignored

phsr | 14 years ago | on: Sony Reports Massive Hack Attempt On Networks: 93,000 Accounts Affected Globally
I think the parent post is referring to the various Sony hacks that occurred earlier this year.
phsr | 14 years ago | on: Sony Reports Massive Hack Attempt On Networks: 93,000 Accounts Affected Globally
I think you read the article wrong. Sony is stating that they detected a large number of sign in attempts, which many failed, but 93,000 succeeded. The attempts were made using the data (they assume) obtained from the prior hacks on the various Sony sites. This is not a new breach, but a follow through with the data from prior breaches, probably due to the affected users not updating their credentials from the prior hack.
On issue that JoachimSchipper points out [1] is that Sony probably isn't rate limiting, or throttling login attempts, which is a security issue, as it opens up the possibility of brute force attacks
