NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "January has been a very bad month for Ruby on Rails developers, with two high-severity security bugs permitting remote code execution found in the framework and a separate-but-related compromise on rubygems.org, a community resource which virtually all Ruby on Rails developers sit downstream of. Many startups use Ruby on Rails. Other startups don’t but, like the Rails community, may one day find themselves asking What Do We Do When Apocalyptically Bad Things Happen On Our Framework of Choice? I thought I’d explain that for the general community."FeedUnfurl

NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "If it is, I have some questions about how IP works in terms of this song. It’s a cover of a Sir Mix-a-Lot song obviously, but I wrote a new melody for it, which this recording uses.

Favorite examples of mine include Twitter Bootstrap, Wowhead Tooltips, and my own Instapoppin."Unfurl
NotesBengazi was the "worst tragedy since 9/11"? Really, Rand? You really mean that? Worse than the Iraq War, school shootings, weather disasters, and the BP oil spill that happened since then? Really tired of the Republican brats and their hyperbole.FeedUnfurl
