I've been using this method of deployment for several production sites for a couple of years now. I don't really see why rsync is better, or how using git is meaningfully different from having a live branch that you Rsync from. A

Here i am thinking it's the best language I've ever written in :-) I guess that's not really incompatible with still being "not a well designed language." When we're comparing ourselves to platonic ideals I gue

This is why you're going to start to see a shift away from centralized cloud applications like Facebook towards more federated models. The federated model is the only workable compromise between the security afforded by completely peer

I love making fun of it but of course I'm just hiding my admiration. At one point I owned an iMac G4 lamp-shade and it seems to hearken back to that design - especially the bottom vents. Ive and co clearly felt they had to come out wit

The line between 'seizing' widespread outrage and 'manufacturing' it is perilously thin.
