So "ruby" is not a play on "perl"? I don't believe it.

grep Googlebot /var/www/log/* && rm -rf /var/www/site

If you are storing important info in $CLOUD, think twice.

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.

You can probably still abuse NSDictionary, causing HashDoS (https://gist.github.com/dchest/4467707). I did it with QuickLook a few years ago; don't know if they replaced a hash function there.

tl;dr Because the author says so.

You are being mean to Apple on HN. Expect being downvoted and eventually hellbanned.

I honestly feel that there is very little bias in here. I downvoted the comment just like I would have if he had replaced Apple with Google or any other name.

Because two half serious make a full serious.

Meanwhile, in "first-world" places like Spain we're on the verge of starvation due to global unemployment and poverty.

i think saying that spain is on the verge of starvation kind of does a disservice to people who actually are.

there's no shortage of food in europe.

Saying Spain is on the verge of starvation is a bit over the top. It's true that we got a lot of families without income now, but that's not starvation.

It's a strange language when "getting laid" and "getting laid off" mean such different things.

Yeah,as a foreigner ,it's hard, never know what to put after a verb to get the right meaning,let's take "to go".

to go on,go back,go off,go around,go by

have a different meaning...that's the most difficult part of the english language imho,now you can use a different verb for each expression,but it wouldnt feel idiomatic.

At the same time,it makes english composable and easy to extend,it cannot work with my language.I wonder if other languages work like that too.

Most Germanic languages have constructs similar to English´s phrasal verbs. Learning them, for a foreigner, is really difficult (I know, because I spend most of my time teaching English to Spanish students). I actually just released the Android app I´ve been building to help with this. I didn´t think it was worthy of a Show HN post, but now seems a good time to mention it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phrasalver...

To compound the problem, "getting off" happens when "getting laid".
