For a for-profit shop like Bitbucket, there's probably a business reason for that. I certainly don't have any metrics to back this up, but I can understand how they'd want to primarily appeal to what seems to be a wider git a

As someone who spends 40+ hours a week working with Python, I really like Go as a whole. I like being able to explicitly declare types, I love channels. It's way easier to deploy my Go apps than my Python apps (statically compile and t

I think the most likely possibility is that the telcos attack this to the point where it gets de-fanged or turned away entirely. Part of congress is already mobilizing against this movement.

I didn't think Oracle SQL server has CTEs, but maybe that's changed. Postgres CTEs are amazing, though. Surprisingly efficient for our particular usage case (threaded discussions that don't ever get too deep).

We started writing a threaded discussion system using these, but it ended up being much easier to use Postgres's Recursive CTEs. Highly recommend!

Was that Hosted Active Directory from one of the marketplace AMIs, or are they offering this as a built-in service now?

I still cringe a little bit when I see "Deskstar", but apparently they've turned it around in a big way. I'm still irrationally scared, though.

I don't think it's a performance and memory issue that the author is raising. Ruby, much like Python, mostly wraps some lower level libraries for game dev. In both cases, you either make sure your users have dependencies installed

After I say this, they'll probably have a huge EBS-caused outage, but it feels like EBS is much more capable now than it was even a year or two ago. The General Purpose SSDs and the Provisioned IOPS have more than handled our performan

Maybe they could rename to Nameaffordable. Amusingly enough, Googling for "nameaffordable" does, in fact, show Namecheap (for me): http://i.imgur.com/BCV8aXG.png I've been using Namecheap for a few years, and

It's not just the setup. For smaller companies with tiny ops teams (or a developer that also serves as an ops guy), RDS can save a bunch of time in maintenance/security/upgrade land. You are going to get decent to good perfor

This is a really slick idea. It'd be awesome if some ambitious individual would make this, but for Python. nudge nudge, wink wink .

To be fair, it took them ages to start getting serious about Python. It's still not what I'd call a first-class citizen, in that boto (even with paid AWS employees on it) lacks support for things like their ElastiCache discovery p

I can respect that. It's a somewhat unexpected development, and I don't think our usage case lines up with this, but I can appreciate the intent.

I'm having a hard time understanding what this does and what it buys me. If I am understanding correctly, they have added a new subcommand, but you pretty much have to make it do anything useful yourself (if you fall outside of their l

The fact that they're doing this with Jetbrains excites me. Potentially enough for me to take another shot at playing with Android development. The toolset felt so raw the last time I messed around with it (Eclipse+ADT days) that it tu

To clarify, I'm not asking for a monolithic stack. I like the modularity. It's just getting confusing to those that don't look at this stuff every day. It's more of an ergonomic issue than an approach issue. There could

You can try your luck on the reservation marketplace, but depending on your region, instance size, reservation duration, reservation age, you may not end up being able to get out.

I'm excited to see Docker continue to progress so quickly, but I'll admit to being more and more confused over how many components and services you have to contend with now. I'm sure I could sort out all of these names if I s
