The ugly caveat isn't VPC, it's EBS. This lands on the wrong side of pets-versus-cattle. AWS has been moving towards giving people what they want, but it's still best practice to use ephemeral storage and architect accordingl

The example was a multi-gigabyte CSV file. You just sucked the whole thing off the disk into RAM so that you could shave off the first line. If you're unlucky, you started swapping out to disk about halfway through.

I spent 18 months deploying Openstack inside a pretty broken huge company. Openstack is a disaster, because so many of the people building it have never used AWS and are instead trying to build "VMWare, but for free." Object stora

Absolutely backward. I'd buy a Chromebook in a moment if I was convinced that dealing with getting around the bootloader and putting real Linux on the thing wouldn't be a pain in the ass. I'll stick with >$200 eBay Thinkpa

Android 5.0 breaks the Nook app and Twidere outright, and damages F-Droid. It's also crazy-slow. Avoid, for now.

The bummer about the JVM is that the first piece of advice you get when things are going wrong is "you're using Oracle Java, not OpenJDK, right?" There are situations now where the JVM is unavoidable. It's an increasing

You can have pretty much the same UI in Openbox today. Openbox + devilspie + xcompmgr + rxvt-unicode + Firefox with Pentadactyl is perfect. Especially on a 1440x900 12" X200s.
