   I have a production app that generates about 500MB of data per day. A small amount of that data needs to be kept hot in cache -- but the rest is accessed infrequently by comparison (but still in a manner that is aided by SQL). No problems

   The email sent to existing customers mentions price drops for certain plans (text below). With the few plans I glanced at for 2.0, it doesn't look so much like a price drop as it does a storage capacity and max connections drop. Produ

   Does anyone know if New Relic can be used in a more limited capacity with unsupported languages? I've been building an OpenResty/Lapis app (Lua) and would love to be able to get some visibility into my Heroku dynos.

   I've tried it a few times. I find that I sleep like a rock, but have a dull, throbbing headache in the morning. My wife swears by the stuff...

   Even without TouchID, iirc on previous iPhone models entering an invalid password 10 times would trigger a wipe. So not a new threat -- just balancing maintaining the confidentiality of your data with the DOS risk.

   Interesting. I've always had much better quality using Twilio to bridge to PSTN than through Twilio Client. I keep coming back to Twilio Client because the idea of a softphone (and a web based one at that) is so alluring compared to h

   Will you post links to some of these packages? I'm building up my Emacs Python toolkit after many years of being a Vim user (with liberal use of Evil mode of course! :-)

    I've been using CloudFlare on a project and have been mostly very pleased with it. The only persistant problem that I haven't been able to iron out is that some non-US users of my application can't get any of our javascript assets to load i

    At least for me, macros don't work in Bash vi-mode. Perhaps it is only implemented in emacs-mode? Or maybe it is the readline version I have in OSX.

    As a Vim user, I've always been drawn toward using vi keybindings in bash. However, as a Mac user, all of the Cocoa text widgets more or less support emacs keybindings, so having a working knowledge of basic emacs movement commands has been

    I've been a big FreeMind fan for years. Durring my wife's first year of law school, I persuaded her to try using it for one of her classes. She proceeded to quickly adopt it for all of her classes. Having a mindmap of an area of the law

    I wholeheartedly agree. The lack of transparency is CloudFlare's single largest problem from my perspective. I really wish the analytics package offered more than just a few pretty aggregate charts. Insight into failed requests to my bac

    My understanding is that drones are preferred for long term/constant monitoring. Spy satellites are not placed in geostationary orbit, so they only have a few minutes of exposure per day to a place of interest as they fly over. The Global

    I like to symlink to MacVim like so: /usr/local/bin/vim -> /usr/local/bin/mvim /usr/local/bin/vimdiff -> /usr/local/bin/mvim Then put /usr/local/bin higher up in my $PATH. Works like a charm.

    I've been learning emacs and hunting for the same thing. Aside from Viper mode, these two manual pages are the best I've found: http://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/emacs/Expressions.html http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/emacs/

    My favorite idiom when dealing with new cloud servers is: ssh-copy-id user@host-ip <Paste random password> ssh !$ Saves copying/pasting the host ip a second time. Trivial Bash trick I know -- but it is a time saver...
