I don't get the need for Vagrant? Are you suggesting to use Vagrant solely for those not developing on a host capable of running Docker? If my host _can_ run Docker, what value do I get from running it inside Vagrant instead?

I'd argue that post-PRISM, there's a big opportunity to re-create self-hosted options for services known to be open books to the government. It might not be creative, but it does provides users a familiar alternative to storing th

This is scarily close to what China does. In China, the government doesn't really care about people complaining about politicians and the government online. However, if there's even a hint of a protest, out come the censors and po

Does this just boil down to encrypted shared memory on a VPS, on TOR, as-a-service?

The biggest reason IMO is lack of expertise - the average startup engineers will be less likely to have Oracle experience and skillset. Another reason is that there just doesn't seem to be a reason for the average startup to use Oracle

I've been through the same love/hate of using Chef, and have come to replace it with Docker. As a solo dev I have a bunch of services to configure and maintain, and Docker is incredibly easier[1] to work with in comparison to Chef

As someone who programs when the urge hits, rather than as a day job, I ended up playing catch up with Rails. Each time I went to start a project, there's be some new changes/features in Rails for me to learn. These days, I'm

The most common complaint I hear when I talk about Ruby is it's poor performance. The languages I hear mentioned most often (by the complainers) as alternatives include Go and Node.js. I've used Ruby for a few years as a part-time

Unfortunately, it's way to easy for a select group to ruin an article with their negative and factually incorrect comments. In particular for a science site, I think comments should be restricted, at least from anonymous drivers-by.

Doesn't seem to address my two biggest requirements (1) non-US jurisdiction and (2) zero-knowledge at-rest encryption. For me, those would be the biggest selling points for a new Dropbox-like service. Whilst they do mention they have v

The impression I get, as a consumer, is that I can no longer trust official statements from the likes of Google, Amazon, etc since they could have been legally gagged from telling the truth. I've lost confidence in US tech companies, b

To someone in Hong Kong, this doesn't ring true at all. iPhone users are abandoning the platform in droves in favour of Android, in particular the Galaxy line.

For moving away from Gmail, I'd be interested in solutions that help you data-mine ahead of time how many mailing lists/services/etc you have linked to your address. It might be easy to just "switch" one day away from Gmail, but it could ea

For certain industries, government is already heavily involved as a matter of national security. Energy, telecommunications, research, finance etc.

I'm aware of similar "briefings" happening in Australia. I think it's important for no other reason than security awareness. Often there are internal security staff in organisations who know just how vulnerable their organisation is to targ

After sincerely giving the latest Ubuntu a shot, I've gone back to Fedora (running a pre-release build of 17, KDE) on my Lenovo X220.

I agree on the higher res desire. It looks so great out of the box you just wish you had a little more screen real estate to work with...

Until a few days ago I was running Fedora 16 (KDE) on the X220 and it ran perfectly. Ubuntu 11.04 was why I moved to Fedora in the first place. On the X220, 12.04 has run perfectly. On the X120e however, which also ran Fedora 16 (KDE) previ

Ok, I've just tried my 12.04 / Unity laptop with my 22" monitor. The thing is, I have my laptop on the left, and 22" on the right. So I want to set the Unity launcher to the right hand side of my main screen, the 22" display, so that it doe

I've recently ordered 3x 21.5" monitors for developing with. It'll be interesting to see how Precise / Unity handles that setup. I have either Nvidia Optimus on my T420s Thinkpad or ATI 5970s to test with.

As someone who went to Fedora 16 after the initial Unity debacle, I've been using 12.04 on my laptops, and I must say, it's generally been a pleasant experience. I still haven't tried with multi-screens, so I'm not sure how well it works th

Hilarious. I think the Australian government is quite right in advocating against using US hosting where government or personal data privacy is a key requirement. If the cloud providers want the business so much, build some local infrastruc

I was considering Rails for a project but considered it overkill for my needs (small RESTful web service). I discovered Sinatra and fell in love. Then I discovered I could get the benefits of Sinatra, with a bit of Rail-like "magic" (helper

I agree on the haml front. Whilst long-term web developers will appreciate the haiku-like syntax, ERB is significantly easier to parse since it's HTML plus code. To use HAML effectively you ultimately need to learn to "read" a new language.
