I didn't notice the scoped keys before, but this would definitely be useful to us. Thanks for pointing it out.

We looked at Mixpanel, but Keen seems to be more in line with what we need. Thanks for the response, this is helpful.

Can anyone who has used or is using these guys share some feedback on your experiences? Also, if anyone knows of any other services that allow you send event data like this for later querying/analysis, I'd love to hear about them.

You can't look at EC2 as just a place to go for a VM. It's not worth using EC2 unless you either: A) Already have a lot of other infrastructure on EC2. B) Want to use the other services offered by AWS. AWS is a collection of servi

The only correct answer is: benchmark according to your specific application's needs, since your demands may be different than mine or someone else's. For more general benchmarks, this is handy: http://serverbear.com&#x

Apples to oranges. AWS's main appeal isn't VMs (EC2), it's the huge portfolio of other services you can make use of. Linode is more of a VM host with a few also-ran services that they are experimenting with (Load Balancing).

It seems more like a buggy OS that doesn't handle certain combinations of external monitors and GPUs. Let's call it like it is: 10.9 needs some fixing. Plugging in an external monitor shouldn't be a big thing. I shouldn'

It drives up subscriptions to Unreal Engine 4, so that's probably the primary monetization strategy. They won't make any money from players until the content marketplace opens, but this could do a lot to drive people to use and le

I think this distinction will be largely moved along by the people who contribute to their eventual content marketplace. If there's a ton of interest in commercial mods, then you'll see non-free mods, though the base game itself w

Not only is this a really awesome thing for Epic to do, it could have much further-reaching consequences than UT if it's successful. At the very minimum, it's going to be an excellent source of quality net/graphics code sampl

Yeah, bigtime. I'm not sure that would make for a quick, easy countdown list of a blog post, though.

The best way to get the Senate to make patent reform a priority is a Samsung-induced sales injunction on iPhones. The outrage would be immediate, and we'd have this resolved in weeks instead of years or decades (if we ever do "res

Unless your app operates at a truly massive scale with a very specific set of characteristics, this won't save you even a minuscule fraction on your total budget. Route 53 is dirt freaking cheap.

If you are using Compute Engine or App Engine, this would give you a cheap, API-driven method for managing your DNS zones, without relying on an external service (though, there is nothing wrong with doing so). It's also likely that Goo

Given their other Cloud-oriented offerings (Compute Engine and App Engine), I'm not so sure they are doing this to make gobs of money. It's a hole in their service portfolio that they are filling. This can indirectly lead to peopl

Seems like rust-http 2.x would work for this purpose. It's subjectively a much more descriptive name than "Teepee", too.

Indeed. Lack of MLB.tv makes this a non-starter for me. We don't have cable TV, but I love to watch baseball. MLB.tv lets me watch just about anything I want all year. Our Roku is basically an MLB.tv machine.

Does it matter? Politicians who do stupid things deserve this kind of negative attention, no matter how insignificant it is. It's a good thing that this is even being mentioned by some of the domestic news agencies. Even if nothing f
