Does anyone actually prefer coding to the IRC and XMPP protocols instead of the Slack API ? https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term seems more than sufficient to me, and hackable if I find an itch to scratch... Bet

I ran across this a couple years ago because Tumblr let you use a leading - for your subdomain... I remember being so shocked reading this thread, but clearly nobody on that discussion had heard of Tumblr at the time. Very surreal.

Apple was at Lucene Revolution in DC this past fall. It's a little silly IMO to extrapolate too much from a job posting -- Apple has had a large search infrastructure for a long time, as do most tech companies.

Ahhhh, I freaked out because I forgot this edge case: VPC vs Classic reservations don't affect whether you get a price cut or not, they only affect the capacity portion of the reservations -- being guaranteed to launch an instance of t

Here is one example: eye tracking could completely eliminate the need for alt tab or switching desktops. Put your keyboard's focus in a window by looking at it, and have it automatically recenter into your natural field of view. Stil

VMWare has this feature too, they call it vMotion. I haven't found anyone who could explain the resilience of vMotion in production use cases though.

Not in the compiler, but enjoy a Microsoft Research paper about Steno, a C# library that claims to be superior to stream fusion (section 8.2): http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/173946/paper-pldi.pdf In case anyon

re: storage capacity, does df -h report inodes on other OS? On Ubuntu you need to do df -i to see inode utilization.

Only thing I took issue with was "Instead, explicitly define your servers in your configurations for as long as you can." Maybe you can get away with this for a small scale deployment, but "as long as you can" sends a bi

Thanks for sharing! Here are my comments, mostly critiques but please note I really think you have a great start here. Nice clean interface, reasonably quick to use. Doesn't work with 1password. HTTPS isn't the default, and when r

I forked an extension released under MIT license because of this -- original author pushing shady updates. After I re-released it on the Chrome Store, now I get emails trying to buy "my" extension from me.

Why is line level profiling so non-existent for dynamic languages? Function level just doesn't cut it, esp. w/ the zillions of monkey patches in Ruby.

How are you deploying? You 'should' push a tarball to s3 and have web nodes pull it down. Red-black deploys via AMI changes are one way for sure, but those seem to be usually done via separate scaling groups entirely. Netflix ha

I like the general tone of this piece, but how many salaries are below market rate at a startup these days? The fringe benefits are pretty insane right now too. IMO, the biggest concern for an employee is dilution. Sometimes this happens

I had an excellent exchange with Chad recently on twitter (and then Github Issues) where we went through a transient GitHub OAuth issue that Github ended up acknowledging via email as being an error on their side. I feel much more confiden

Is this supposed to be a framework for collaborative editing and synchronization? I would expect a lot more examples around merge conflicts and locking if so. "Models are never locked" make this sound like it is just an abstract
