I used to skip the lounge access also, but its a nice perk. It has decent internet, some snacks until I eat on the plane, and foremost comfortable seating. I don't like a lot of noise around me as well, so its a break from the rest o

PayPal isn't so bad--doing millions through them a year has caused no problems that couldn't be worked out. I looked at Braintree before the acquisition and they seemed really cool. I was able to hang out in their IRC chat room a

Yeah, its not in your terminal at all. Fails to mention dependencies.

I think this is mostly a solution without a problem. Just to hit a few points--S3 might (and I'm not sure I agree) be expensive. However, it gives you HA and multiple copies of your files on the backend for safety. If you're se

In the past years I've gone from a 15" MBP to an 11" MBA and most recently the 12" MB. I hate the MB. The key travel is way too short and have seen no signs of adjusting. The lack of expansion ports is criminal. Just

I work remote, and worked even more remotely for a year. Yeah, this was just a 2mo bit of fun. Great. But longer stays in Thailand quickly run into immigration law. If you're having power outages or brownouts, you want voltage regul

S3 is going to be a lot cheaper. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty reliable. Then you can look at cloudfront. And they did recently release cross-region S3 replication. Then you can be really safe and keep a backup copy at a w

This would be big for us. When we initially looked at the problem of sharing or keeping a large number of files in sync, the prospects were dim. DRBD? etc. So we ended up using Gluster. Gluster has been temperamental at best. We'v

I recently switched back to Firefox exactly for this reason. Firefox has tab overflow so that I can actually tell what an open tab is. Additionally, Firefox can be set to ONLY load the current tab on startup. Have you ever been to a hote

Any time I move, I try to divest myself of at least half of everything I own. I've moved with only what I could fit into luggage. The take on it that I'm more comfortable with now is--if I want it, I want something really nice.

So, you're an expert with Google's tools and want to set up a workshop... so of course your first choice is to go use Facebook...

I like spy.co. If you were planning to let that one lapse or had an interest in letting it go.

I use https://code.google.com/p/motp/ for 2FA. Google Authenticator used to be open source, but is not anymore. That frustrates me.

So because they studied CS they're qualified to design drugs? I didn't see any testing/trials in their plans. I also think the drug they're fighting is probably Modafinil--not Adderall. And I don't care how the j

It reminded me of Print Shop from the 80s. I felt an urge to print it out on colored paper to read. The web devs over at bloomberg must have plenty of cocaine.

I ended up using a Nexus 10 for reading technical stuff. The kindle is too small and you lose the page formatting. I really wish they'd bring back the Kindle DX format.

I'm not exactly on topic, but I hope you can forgive me touting my own project. I'm trying to raise money to fund the work necessary to get OpenBSD running on Apple hardware. One can buy an Apple laptop with cash in any mid-size

I like the popup that I get that asks me for an email so that I can be notified when this is released. It won't accept an email address. Finally went over to the Chrome store and got a lot more info, but I'm not sure I trust it

I think NPR covered this pretty recently. So, first you have a book salesman that comes in and sells the modifications from the previous versions--that its a better educational tool. They don't talk a lot about price, and they make t

If you're looking for secure backup solutions, you should also consider SpiderOak and CypherTite.

Yeah, this is one of the most frustrating things about Google. They're opaque to reduce gaming of the system, but that same quality makes it easy to accidentally choose something Google doesn't like. I'm going to stop short

At first I thought it was going to be a big deal, but I read a comment somewhere to 'chew' a little.. bite down on it. I was incompatible with Soylent, but 100%FOOD is awesome.

This is o true. We get a lot more sales from organic Google search results than paid advertising. It's no joke when you start spending thousands of dollars a day on adwords and still get nowhere near the organic results.

Beautiful, simpler? It makes noises and I couldn't guess how to get a channel list or what the next step actually was in 3 commands. If I had to guess, this mostly exists because the IRC protocol is easy to recreate. I'll stick
