Are you sure that was due to an Oracle bug? I heard of one eBay outage while watching a talk on ZFS that was due to misconfigured SAN volumes that overlapped and caused repeated data corruption in the Oracle DB, but wasn't related to any b

Xmonad is what finally made me decide to switch to Linux from OS X. I'd tried other window managers but none of them acted quite how I wanted them to. Xmonad with Xmobar and dmenu is an amazing combination.

I just saw a talk by someone from SEOmoz at the Seattle Hadoop meetup and it sounds like you have some really interesting work.

Do you have any data that shows the rate of homicides committed by "gun nuts" is higher than for other people? There are a lot of people in the US who like guns, but as far as I can tell gun hobbyists are much less likely to kill people th

Why don't you ask them for a refund and see what happens?

Cloud storage doesn't mean one gigantic filesystem. ZFS can easily handle as many drives as you can fit in one machine and if you scale horizontally then that's all you have to worry about. It also provides checksumming, compression, and

Akamai releases similar data in its quarterly State of the Internet report with download speed broken down by location and other data that it collects. There's quite a bit of advertising in the report, but it has some interesting informati

It shows how much the feelings about guns have changed over the past few decades. My dad used to bring his .22 caliber rifle along with ammunition to school everyday so that he could go hunting afterwards. He'd just carry it into school a

That makes Dropbox a lot harder to use because you now have to be able to decrypt your files on every device you want to use Dropbox on. I use Dropbox to have access to my files from anywhere with an internet connection if even I'm not on

The EU west region is just as cheap as the US standard, so if you want to backup off continent and not pay more you can. As far as the unlimited backup plans go, how does their durability compare to S3 or SpiderOak? It seems like if they'

The point of this is to make one image that is up to date and works well so that there's a good official choice. Even if you're fine with rolling your own, not having to do so really lowers the barrier to entry.

They weren't costing Amazon any money if they had excess capacity, but if those machines being in use prevented them from being sold to someone else then they did cost it.

Why are you tied to Java? Is there something about Smalltalk that makes you not want to learn it or are there other constraints?

It seems they didn't benchmark the network speed and latency, which is the big change from the rest of the instance types.

Once you get big enough you might be able to negotiate with Heroku for a better deal. They might not be willing to give you au better deal, but if you're already there you might as well try before going through the expense of moving somewh

One thing they really need to work on is book quality. I bought a Kindle book and there are so many errors that it's hard to read. I know the hardcover version doesn't have this errors, so their conversion process probably needs a proofre

Walking isn't always better, but it can be a viable alternative and there are options in between. As far as I know there is no cheap alternative to Oracle RAC, but I know that there are cases where using a combination of Hadoop and Postgre

It's unreasonable if it doesn't give you $250k + $50k a year in benefits and there are free alternatives available. There are some cases where it makes sense, but I think it's good to have a discussion about what kind of benefits it provid
