I just spun up juju on AWS and was pretty impressed with how damn easy it was (the toughest part was looking up my AWS keys). Now I'm really excited to play around with it and see how it interacts with Chef.

I highly recommend Logstash and Kibana. The setup might be a little more complex then some would desire (but by no means is it difficult and both have solid docs), but the two are pretty powerful tools. 1 - http://www.logstash.net/ 2 - h

Another commenter's reply (which has been marked dead) brought up a great point about the value of this information for people in the future. I want and expect privacy now and for the near future, but when my (future) grandchildren's grandc

Seconded. Moreover, in Chattanooga, the cheapest/slowest option EPB provides is 50Mb, which is quite a bit more than the average connection speed listed for Google Fiber. I'm on that plan and the rate is usually closer to the 60Mb range; fa

Tasty bananas are to be had, you just have to look for them outside your typical grocery store. Many Mexican carnicerías carry a smaller species of banana that's more prevalent in Central America, and it's much tastier than the banana you'r

Indeed. Moreover, if the Backspace key (Delete on Mac) doesn't cut it for you, Alt + left arrow on Windows or ⌘-[ on Mac do the job just fine.

I have EPB Fiber here in Chattanooga, TN. I currently pay for the 50Mb service which usually runs on faster than that and is symmetrical. I started with 15Mb and since March 2009, they've bumped the speed up from 15 to 30 to 50. My friend

While I wholeheartedly agree that the actions of the customer are absurd, I would like to point out that in the US, courts have held that a tip is not "mandatory."

In most US states, 11 months and 29 days is the limit for misdemeanor crimes; hence the term 11/29 (anything more is typically felony).

Maybe I'm naive, but everywhere I've been employed, it's been an "at-will" employment where either party has the right to terminate the employment contract without notice (discriminatory termination notwithstanding).

I have a 3D TV and would probably watch some TV in 3D if it was available (I'd certainly give it a try, at least), but my content provider doesn't offer any 3D channels. I'm curious how many of the audience you mention could watch it if the

Fair, except that DI in Ruby is pretty dang simple. def some_method(dependency = SomeClass.new) dependency.do_something end I'd argue that injecting the dependency gives you even more expressiveness and improves readabili

Anyone know anything about DMCA Guardian? I've never heard of them. I definitely can understand how a company like this could be useful, but I'd worry about the means they use for enforcement.

Agreed. Moreover, the benefit is not solely derived by the private party. Assuming that a portion of the revenue goes to lobbying, then already the benefit is for more than just the private party. This doesn't even account for any tax reven

1. Where I'm from, I regularly pay a bill for my water/sewer usage, thus tap water is certainly worth more than $0.00. The funds collected are used to fund the operation of the water utility, not taxes. 2. I'm sorry, but I don't understand

Since I think accurate, up-to-date documentation is as important as existent documentation, I'm inclined to believe that documenting everything doesn't have to be started at the beginning, but I know the longer I put it off, the less likely

Curious as to why you think documenting everything from the start is counterproductive. Are you opposed to documenting everything or documenting from the start, and why? I mean, I hate writing documentation, but as someone who has had to co
