Argo Tunnel AAAA Record

Has anybody else noticed that Argo Tunnels are suddenly creating only AAAA records? Given that I don't have IPv6 support at home, I suddenly cannot access sites that used to be accessible. Any suggestions/fixes?

Re:Startup CEOs: you are overestimating your tech talent on Friday November 08, 2013 @02:03PM (#6698364)
Oh, for sure - worked in capital markets and getting any integration between the different teams was an unpleasant affair. However, it usually wasn't due to a lack of talent, but due to politics or personality - somebody who likes to say "no" a bunch, or refuses to allow some other approach. Most of the devs were grumpy, but liked the steady pay and stuck around. Probably the root of the problem - if retention became an issue, perhaps things would change?

I was tired of last.fm providing me the same old recommendations, so I came up with findmusicfor.me. It's rough - only a few hours of coding involved, but thought I'd see what people think of it and ways to improve.
Re:Ask HN: When are you allowed to quit a startup? on Monday September 06, 2010 @01:48PM (#1667069)
If you find another position, take it. Don't try to use quitting as leverage to make things happen - even if you stay on, your actions will always be there, lurking in the background.

Yeah, that's the next stop. :) Thanks.

JPA-based JUnit Test Best Practices

This is a bit of an odd question, but it has been bothering me for a few months now. I have built a JPA-based web application using Wicket + Hibernate (built with Maven), and want to test the DAO layer directly. I created a specific src/test/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml file that I used for testing, but have been running into conflicts with WTP and the like. To get around these issues,...
