nigelk - yes, it think using Package Repos exclusively would be a win for Puppet. Fewer install options to confuse new users, simpler support model for your developers. BTW I do use your repositories. For me, they have proven to be more r

I recently switched to Vagrant Installers. Mitchell has done a nice job of isolating the Vagrant environment. The installer and Vagrant plugins work great, and it's a win to remove the Vagrant dependency from my project Gemfile. Ruby-bas

-> By your logic, Linux users are locked into a walled garden Linus Torvalds created. That's right. Linus defines what is possible. Witness the recent UEFI controversy. Had Microsoft (or Google) been in charge of Linux, you'd have to

Great for Adria: more blog hits. Not so great for SendGrid: a PR disaster.

> This isn't looking too promising.... :-( Well, perhaps this is a market opportunity. Many people need products that embrace the OpenWeb. Google was a good champion. But Google is an advertising company after all, and their primary b

Before Google+ came along, Google had many great products and embraced the OpenWeb. Now Google has abandoned Open Standards like RSS and CalDAV, and I think Google is more interested in building their own walled garden.

Looks to me like a PR disaster for SendGrid. Last thing I'd want is my brand to mixed up in gender politics.

No - I have absolutely nothing to be careful of. I'm not a secret front for an anti-Google marketing campaign. I'm just a dude who values the OpenWeb, and I believe that Google's actions w.r.t. Reader have damaged RSS. I don't like it, a

Yep. Emergency responders use the mnenomic "ABC" to guide their actions in a life-threatening situation: Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Infection is not on the list. Military sometimes uses "CABC" - Catastrophic Hemorrhage, Airway, Breath

Chill Stefan, then just get to work doing something you like. You've got skills to work in a great industry, living in a great place. Drop the negative inner voices, work hard, enjoy the fact that you've already got it made.

Not true. Even when the source-energy is coal, Tesla reduces net emissions a lot by eliminating the inefficiency of the IC engine. And when the source-energy is solar, net emissions are even better. :-)

I don't trust Chrome with sensitive data. It's not that Firefox is so much better. But Mozilla doesn't have Google's motive or ability to cross-correlate data-streams.

It might seem like common sense for the paramedic to rush. But in practice, rushing doesn't save lives. Rule #1 in any first-responder situation is to keep the rescuer safe. There are tons and tons of examples where rushing led to mistake

We need a generic pipe for internet services. Yes there is IFTTT and open-source clones, but they are not generically useful like the unix pipe on the command line.

Wow - I'm excited about the provider interface, especially for AWS and the other cloud services. Question - could Vagrant work with LXC?

If ChromeOS and Android merge, then a comparable is - Ubuntu! They would both have a mobile/desktop linux distro.
