The flip-side to all of this indignation is that the company that is working to extend our police state to local government is using a human tragedy as a marketing effort. These guys are putting spy craft in to the sky and looking to hand t

A small startup that invests in some ops talent is going to run rings around a small startup that optimizes for developers. People think that staffing up devs creates agility and speed, when in reality it just increases product features. Sc

Two obligatory links. 1. Debian dev on the openssl mailing list if he can remove the code causing errors in Valgrind: http://marc.info/?l=openssl-dev&m=114651085826293&w=2 2. Developer with a @openssl.org email ad

It used to be when EBS wiped out it didn't respect the boundary between availability zones. Every AZ in a region would be lost in tandem. If they have managed to keep this incident confined to one AZ without trashing the whole region

As there is nothing remotely illegal or even nefarious about using a VPN, one can assume we've gone over the falls. The United States and its financial system exist to serve the interests of some truly disgusting people.

Correct. Don't use rvm or rbenv on your production Linux boxes. Use packaged Ruby there.

There is no problem. This spying is being done for economic advantage, not to "protect us." This information is being passed on to American corporations. This is very old news. http://www.commondreams.org/headl

This kind of work isn't informal. Economic espionage is a big part of what intelligence agencies are doing all day. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/070200-02.htm

apt-get -s install ruby1.9.1-full. A simulation-only dry run that will show you exactly what is being installed.

You never use tools like rbenv or rvm on production servers. They exist so that mac devs can be running the same versions of ruby found in the Linux distros.

Yes. Rubygems is the project that was run as amateur hour, not Debian. EDIT: And before anyone mentions it: http://marc.info/?l=openssl-dev&m=114652287210110&w=...

Because the FCC ruled that wired networks are subject to network neutrality rules, and that wireless networks aren't. Verizon has every incentive to move efforts to broadband wireless.

My reference to "signing up" means that I won't be entering in to a gentleman's agreement. I'm on good terms with reality.

I won't be signing up for this. Having an operations team that can keep things going through adversity is a competitive advantage that doesn't come cheap. Redundancy and ops talent cost money. If your competitor made a cost/benefit decisio

I disagree. EC2 is inherently unreliable, and so are consumer-grade desktops like Mac Minis. The strategy in EC2 is to be able to spin up replacements very quickly when your instances fail. The only strategy for a non-power-redundant, non-R

Apple failed in the server market. They have had success with the Mini. A Mini is cheaper than EC2, but that isn't the point of EC2. You don't run in EC2 because it is cheap or performant, you run there because you can spin up virtual mach

Apple runs massive datacenters. Because they own OS X, they can run it on whatever hardware they want. Is Apple running OS X in its datacenters? My understanding is that they are not. A server OS is manageable, can be run headless, and is

I do not doubt that some executive in the American auto industry JUST TODAY used hard drugs and alcohol in the office. The prostitution probably happened in a hotel somewhere, the accommodations paid with frequent flyer miles.
