Actually it's been my experience that SSDs are less reliable than HDDs...

Where did it say these were mirrored drives?

It's very difficult to have your foot in both worlds and remain current in either. I did for a while, but I'm more firmly planted in the dev world now. So I can say, with some confidence, that they aren't very interchangeable.

This doesn't sound like RAID at all. How are you guys coming to this conclusion? At best it sounds like a server with a master/slave hard drive setup...you know, something from the early 2000s.

I would have to agree. But I would also have to agree that Heroku or AWS may have been a better choice than a 1&1 dedicated server in this particular instance. However, Heroku and AWS are no substitute for good systems administration.

Thank you. This was exactly what I was getting at. 1&1 is on the short list of budget hosts that are notorious for doing the bare minimum to get your money.

Well apparently someone didn't like my comment since it got down-voted. Whatever. As someone with a background in systems administration, it bothers me when this profession gets left out of the equation, far too often.

"The backup HD" doesn't necessarily equate to "that means you had a RAID setup". How did you arrive at that conclusion? Budget hosts are notorious for having little to no backup solutions in place simply because, well I don't really know

I mean that Systems Administration is as thoroughly exhausting a career path as programming. They didn't lose information because they coded something wrong or inadequately.

"We need to get programming talent on-board." Sounds to me like they still haven't learned their lesson...

In what way? They already have Intellisense and controls built into the IDE. Red Gate and Jet Brains just make them better IMHO. Some people prefer CodeRush and JustCode, although with my scenario in purchasing Telerik, JustCode would be

Well the issue that I see is that Microsoft has to attract more people to their platforms because their platforms are their "billion dollar" business. I fail to see a better way of increasing the number of users of their platforms, th

A more general complaint is MS's schizophrenic support of .NET. But, but, but, Silverlight.

by gregd 13y ago
Hell, since they've got deep pockets, I'd consider purchasing Telerik too and bake their controls into the IDE and still give that shit away for free...

One of the things that I've often thought MS could do to attract more developers to this platform, is to release the brilliant piece of software that is Visual Studio, for FREE. Not just the "Express" edition...the full blown "Ultimate" ed

I'm not seeing any word on their new pricing on the native apps. "We’re ecstatic to announce that all new users will only pay a one time fee for each Mail Pilot application that they download, with no recurring costs." I was an early adop

"It should be emphasized that a public bucket is not a risk created by Amazon but rather a misconfiguration caused by the owner of the bucket." So not really a hole so much as it's configured that way. Title implies that this is a breach o

All she did was report factual discomfort publicly. She didn't lie or slander. What she tweeted about was subjective discomfort, not factual. So all of the men in her tweeted photo, she didn't lie or slander?

They fired her because she could no longer be effective in the position they hired her for.

I'm curious to know whether you actually read their response. "To be clear, SendGrid supports the right to report inappropriate behavior, whenever and wherever it occurs. What we do not support was how she reported the conduct."

What value to you suppose she had at Sendgrid when she fucked up her current position, "In light of the events over the last 48+ hours, it has become obvious that her actions have strongly divided the same community she was supposed to unit

Please do not mistake the social ineptitude of others in the tech industry, as applying equally to the rest of us.

Does it really matter why she was fired? I don't understand why these two companies, SendGrid and PlayHaven couldn't have gotten together, with these two employees, and communicated about the entire incident and publicly come to an amica
