How Homakov hacked GitHub and how to protect your application by Peter Nixey

##How Homakov hacked GitHub and the line of code that could have prevented it


Please note: THIS ARTICLE IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE GITHUB TEAM or in any way associated with them. It's simply hosted as a Gist because the markdown formatting is excellent and far clearer than anything I could manage on my personal Tumblr at peternixey.com.

= Geographic Searches With Postgres's Earthdistance and Cube Extensions
This program shows how to easily create a Postgres database that uses the Cube
and Earthdistance extensions to perform fast queries on geographic data.
Briefly, the problem this code solves is "show me all places within 50
kilometers of New York City."
