##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.

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
Author: jnthn <jnthn@jnthn.net>
Date:   Sun Apr 15 16:35:03 2012 +0200

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

console.log("got here");
var page = require('webpage').create();

page.onConsoleMessage = function(msg) {
    console.log(msg);
};


page.open("http://facebook.com", function(status) {
    if ( status === "success" ) {

# SSL self signed localhost for rails start to finish, no red warnings. 

# 1) Create your private key (any password will do, we remove it below)

$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.orig.key 2048


# 2) Remove the password

$ openssl rsa -in server.orig.key -out server.key

Installing a Gem on Heroku from a Private GitHub Repo

Sometimes you want to use a gem on Heroku that is in a private repository on GitHub.

Using git over http you can authenticate to GitHub using basic authentication. However, we don't want to embed usernames and passwords in Gemfiles. Instead, we can use authentication tokens.

1. Get an OAuth Token from GitHub

First you will need to get an OAuth Token from GitHub using your own username and "note"

 /*  Crowd Complete :: a NodeJS Snippit for Ranked Crowd Sourced Auto Complete (Auto Complete Artificial Neural Network)

 	 Usage:
 	 Requires a running mongo database (db_url)
 	 No solutions exist until you build them over time by 'feeding' the database with /fb.
 	 /ac?e=getAutocompleteSolutionsFromAcDatabase

     What is this?
     TL;DR - Google's magic autocomplete bar.

# Typically in Rails to use VCR we setup the RSpec config like so:
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.extend VCR::RSpec::Macros #deprecated
end
 
# This gives us access to the use_vcr_cassette method:
describe Reviewed::Article do
  use_vcr_cassette 'article/grill'

I use tmux splits (panes). Inside one of these panes there's a Vim process, and it has its own splits (windows).

In Vim I have key bindings C-h/j/k/l set to switch windows in the given direction. (Vim default mappings for windows switching are the same, but prefixed with C-W.) I'd like to use the same keystrokes for switching tmux panes.

An extra goal that I've solved with a dirty hack is to toggle between last active panes with C-\.

Here's how it should work:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'socket'

test_file = ARGV[0]

socket = UNIXSocket.new('testing.sock')

socket.write(test_file)
socket.close_write
