Git from the inside out 10 years ago

http://learngitbranching.js.org/?NODEMO

I haven't seen a git article link to this amazing website recently. By far one of the best ways to teach someone git is to walk someone through git by executing commands and allowing them to see the visual representation of those commands.

There is also an amazing single-player learning mode.

Uber - Seattle, WA - Full Time

Uber has recently (3 months ago) opened an engineering office here in Seattle. We believe in owning things, and as such the engineering team here is focused fully on Uber's Scalability (think sharded database, service routing, service discovery, byte protocols replacing http, etc.).

The team is building out fast, and so far we have been putting together a great team of talent with a healthy mix of alumni from the area (Facebook, Foursquare, EMC/Isilon, Amazon, Microsoft, and several local startups). The working environment is ideal -- best ideas win, the tooling strives to let builders build, and individuals think of themselves as owners and not renters.

Come enjoy working for a hot tech startup at home in Seattle... help us build out our new office's culture... exposure yourself to amazingly tough engineering challenges...

Looking for:

- Software Engineers interested in scalability / distributed systems

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Redirect Vulnerability 12 years ago

The flow does not originate at your site. Your site did not create the redirect URI that is being passed to Google / Twitter in your example.

The URL is generated by a malicious party. The URL constructed (1) sends the user to Google / Twitter for authentication, (2) includes a return URL of your open redirector, and (3) has your open redirect send you on to an evil site.

Pebble releases SDK 2.0 with accelerometer and JavaScript APIs 13 years ago

Biggest wins (in my opinion):

- Persistent storage of up to 4K of data on the watch per app. Storage is a key/value dictionary. No single value may exceed 256 bytes. (Keys are 32 bit integers.)

- New JavaScript framework. Allows running of custom js in a sandbox on the Official Pebble Iphone app

  * Supports communicating (bi-directional at all times) between a Watch App and an Android/iPhone javascript companion app.
  * Supports HTML5 local storage (on the iPhone)
  * Supports location APIs (via HTML5 navigaor.geolocation)
  * Supports web requests (JavaScript's XMLHttpRequest())
  * Supports sending a simple title/text notification to the watch
  * Supports opening a webview on the phone inside the Official Pebble App and the ability to pass a string message back to the JavaScript app when the view is subsequently closed.
