Dev at HS, here. For our launch we prioritized the top SDKs our community requested. Those SDKs were Java, Ruby, PHP and Python. We know there are a lot of requests for a NodeJS SDK and are looking into how it will fit into a future release

Elastic beanstalk uses auto scaling groups which support as-put-scheduled-update-group-action in the cli or http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AutoScaling/latest/APIReference/A... to set time-based scaling.

Packer really belongs in that list, or will soon be a bigger part of it, imo. Packer is another HashiCorp (vagrant) product and in the same way vagrant lets you use your config mgmt to launch and provision a vm, packer lets you use your con

This just introduces additional tools/products to the stack, but you can use Ansible with the Netflix OSS stack, such that Ansible provisions your AMIs and Asgard manages auto-scaling and deployment (with very fine-grained control).

Supervised users are definitely awesome for kids, but I'm also planning to try it out as a replacement for my current /etc/hosts hack for keeping away from time-sucking sites.

This won't work for everyone or for every position, but I've converted to something more like: <Very position-customized and concise cover letter intro> Github | Blog | Project sites | etc. <Quickly highlight position-app

+1 My public stuff all goes to github, and my private repos are all on BitBucket; virtually no cost to me that way and I use each service as it's promoted (imo).

Usually they're hosted separately (some vps and tumblr in this case). So it's just a matter of the blog using the default mapping for it's logo to the blog site. The blog is generally completely unaware it's psuedo-parti

This is a great update, a few concerns I have: 1. The ever popular: logo link on your blog should go to www.lob.com 2. Is there are reason all of these values can't be loaded on the page? I don't know if this is load related, but

Use Asgard from NetflixOSS ( https://github.com/Netflix/asgard ). Shameless project plug: for anyone using Hubot, easily get Asgard up and running, then interface with Asgard via Hubot ( https://github.com&#x2F

This is a good idea. I seem to remember a couple similar directories, but am having trouble digging up links this morning. From an API-consumer perspective, things like verified user ratings, verified implementations/testimonials, upda

This is a nice solution for motivated individuals, and serves as a good practice tool for translators. I'm not sure which OS's come with Japanese characters installed these days, but I ended up here pretty quickly: https:/&#

This feels pretty polished for an early days project. My few initial nit-picks: The Help/Support feels a little buried within the FAQ section - "support" is in the menu, but Seller's Guide and Buyer's Guide seem imp

I'll go too: I've been building a Hubot script for interfacing with Asgard from NetflixOSS. https://github.com/imperialwicket/hubot-asgard I think the chatbot mentality is a good one, as it forces you to scri

You should make a comment with your starting proj, so that others can reply to that with feedback. This will keep top-level comments reserved for 'Show HN'-type data (except of course this comment), if I'm reading your instru

I don't think unguided is an appropriate descriptor for an evolutionary process (by definition or in the scope of PHP's history). However, your point about success is right on, and seems to fit the 'evolution' title and

How large? Piwik is really ancillary to the discussion at hand, but I often see the claim that Piwik can't handle busy sites, and it's important to quantify the claim. I've had success (and others report similar behavior) wit

by imperialWicket 13y ago
I'd say it's substantially different from hosting your own Piwik, OWA, or even something like snowplow - where you could elect to avoid IP storage. That said, those all entail a lot of work and/or additional cost. You're

This is awesome, and I really appreciate the effort toward privacy/transparency. Along those lines, supporting do not track is great, but why use GA at all? Just implementation ease? Is this something you plan to move away from?

I'll grant that there's a healthy amount of assumption in that statement, but I think it's pretty safe in the context of many of the more expensive channels. The channels where someone just wants a channel qua channel tend no

Unbundling is a stop-gap solution. The problem isn't actually as distilled as people not wanting certain channels. At this point, the problem is that people actively want only certain programs. This is where services like Amazon's

There are some good notes here, but they're relatively desktop oriented. For the truly paranoid desktop user https://tails.boum.org/ accomplishes much of this out of the box.

Searching for an address on ddg shows a map, it's just not a google map. It also has links to investigate the address at Bing, Google, and MapQuest. Also, you can use !gm ADDRESS directly, and it passes your data to google over ssl via

I haven't had reason to use it yet, but definitely a valid note. Thanks for the corrective note about EBS, and I'll be a little more cautious with my comments in the future (because I think your marketing note is completely valid)
