No, I work for iovation. We do large scale realtime fraud prevention for many of the largest banks and internet businesses through a shared network of device reputation. There's a lot more to Portland than just Puppet, though we do use

I have been a loyal Evernote premium payer since 2009, and using it even longer. For a long time I recommended it to friends but since have stopped. I have developed some concerns with it over the years. 1. Fear of data loss... it's pr

Clearly this goes both ways. If I had a buck for every time I encountered a developer that was a douche to my dba's, I would be a very rich man. It's a two way street my friends. I think this speaks of an environment primed for de

I'm a big fan of fluid http://fluidapp.com/ which lets you containerize web applications into a single app like thing. Also for mail, I'm a big sparrow fan. If you need flowcharting/diagraming similar to Visio, Omnigraffle is great.

I tend to agree with this. There is a lot of work out there on the PHP side.

I don't use printed ones, but I do maintain a personal wiki where I keep all of my documentation over the years. It's extremely useful to be able to search my cheat sheets across my history.

I think this is a great idea, I can't wait to try it. Hopefully one of the big carriers doesn't kill ^h^h^h^h acquire them.

I was there for this presentation today. Interesting stuff. Looks like it could address some of the issues we are seeing w/ Cassandra today.

We are writing quite a lot more than 10GB per SSD per day on ours, and we have run into lifecycle issues. Of course, we are running a lot of these SSD's and striping across them with OS level raid, so we are doing a lot of write IO.
