My immediate reaction is to recoil away from services that give away emails or phone numbers. I work for a contact info company and we've always been very wary of giving out emails, so seeing another company go ahead and be proud of th

Congrats on the 2.0! It's been interesting to watch as a project. Do you expect that as you stabilize you'll officially support more drivers? Or are you going to leave that as a community effort?

Worse than that, isn't it $0.10 per 1000? So $100 for 1 million predictions.

It does mean that every tool they've written to work with their stack now needs to have a Go equivalent. For some things, that'll be easy. It also means they now need people who know Go, which means any of their engineers can&#x27

Screens are >1080p in resolution. Do you really want all your videos upsampled?

I don't know about you, but if I was in the hospital with a resistant strain of staph, I wouldn't go for the gasoline or liquid nitrogen treatment. Fact is that MRSA and others just adapt too quickly to our antibiotics to the poin

It's running at 5 FPS for me on Chrome. 2013 MBP driving 2 non-retina monitors, lid closed. Seems to work a fair bit better on Safari for whatever reason.

Do you need research to appreciate vertical screen real-estate? I have two 16:10 monitors and love the extra space. I loved it enough that I then flipped one of my 16:10s into portrait. It's occasionally problematic in that pages I mak

Maybe because it touches on our own fears of inadequacy. "I mean whoa, if Zach Holman was fired from GitHub, what does that mean about me?" Of course, it doesn't mean much. Different situations, different people. I can't

It's easy to see how transactional email providers have made money these days. You pay them for 70% of the brain damage, then take on the other 30% for your own.

Sure, but at a few thousand visitors a month that clocks in around one request every 10 minutes or so. I'm not saying they shouldn't use Passenger or another production app server (I use Unicorn fronted by nginx personally), but i

Nope. You'll be fine on whatever you're running on. Even Webrick.

They do have more than 3 AZs. Our account has access to 5 distinct zones and I suspect there are more than that.

What @saryant said. In addition, the network isn't just up or down. It's varying shades (dare I say, 50 shades?) of down or broken. A single machine might not be accessible due to a switch issue. An entire rack or aisle might be c

That assumes the network is always good and services are up. Welcome back to eventual consistency (or none at all)

Agreed. It's only MITM if it's unauthorized IMO. If I deploy my cert to a CDN its just legitimate handshakes so I'm not sure where the man in the middle comes in.

I wonder how long it'll be before HHVM starts driving the PHP project, implicitly or explicitly.

So much of password hashing is a deliberate performance cost anyways, it almost hardly matters if your password passed through md5 and sha{1,2}. bcrypt will eclipse them all in relative cost, as it should be.

I've noticed on the propeller and nighttime sounds that there's a gap in their playback as the loop starts again that's honestly quite jarring. Especially when the propeller is the primary background sound. Even the fire has

Make it open. Then add warnings and void the warranty. If someone has a legitimate need to modify it they should be able. If it's that dangerous one would hope the care used in operating goes goes tenfold for any modifications. If it i

Our config was pretty standard for a few years ago (~2011-2013). RAID10 7200RPM disks, I believe they were Sandybridge, 32gb RAM. We did a decent number of updates/s. 10gen couldn't find fault with our setup other than our need to

Nothing that couldn't be done before with the CLI, but the visualization is nice for unbalanced leadership/assignments. It's also really nice not to have to generate my own assignments. Maybe I'll contribute a tool to do

What's a "very large dataset?" We started having issues around 100GB that forced an upgrade to SSDs. That lasted us til 2TB, at which point we switched.

State-sponsored CA perhaps? I'd be a little suspicious of anything too free like that. I hate to be too xenophobic but I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind.

But a noscript just tells someone that they are missing out on something. A "hey, disable noscript or enable JS so you can see the page." deal.

I think he means that you can cache the majority of the page (including the HTML template) and then substitute in just the data (usually coming from JSON). I don't buy that it's more efficient personally. I'd rather resend a
