Unless you're going to be wildly successful the moment you launch, you're better off picking one stack that you understand, creating a working version, then iterating to improve on it. If you try to do it perfectly or make it as f

Sorry it was perhaps a bit abrupt. Many people often feel that something's wrong with life or something is missing. A little voice in their heads comes up and says "maybe if I had X that'd fix it", or "maybe if I wa

If you pick up almost any book on eastern philosophy you'll find that living in the present is the key. Give up the future. It won't be how you imagine anyway.

Wrong. Your biggest problem is believing you have to improve yourself.

I think the architecture supports pluggable backends, but AFAIK mongo is the best supported (and is the only one I know much about). There is a backend for elasticsearch ( https://github.com/petrjasek/eve-elastic ) but I

You should check out eve ( http://python-eve.org ) - it's amazing for rapid prototyping (if the fact it requires Mongo isn't an issue). I'm building an AngularJS + REST server using Eve for the server. It has saved

It seems cpu.shares allow a proportional amount of CPU to be allocated, but LXC may use up to 100% of all idle CPUs. You can't specify a hard-limit of "only use 1GHz when I have a 2GHz CPU" apparently (according to here: htt

Thanks. I had seen packer.io but then forgot about it. I had another look at Docker in November and had issues installing what I needed via apt for some reason. It wasn't a drop-in replacement for VMs for several reasons (I wanted an a

They let devs ssh onto production boxes and do what they want?!?! "Things diverge pretty quickly" - I'm sure they do. That sounds like a recipe for disaster... Docker looks promising but until there's a way to allocate m
