These are fine benchmarks for consideration, IFF you are interested in using AWS EC2 instances as a vps. This might not be a terrible endeavor, but it's really not the intended use. EBS performance is an issue - Yes it is, don't u

Totally agree. The only use I see is when you're simply searching for projects/solutions and you want to quickly ascertain popularity and language. That said, I'm not sure I'll remember the color-language relationships w

Ah! I get you - agreed. I think that's a decent solution, it just seems like configuring Chrome to use DDG as the default engine buys you a lot of those configurations in one change. Either way, good results.

These are good notes. You can quibble over some of the specific details and their assigned importance, but generally they show great logical enhancements. To add to the language bar discussion - I rarely care about the languages in my own r

I love this concept, we could use more approachable static-file-cms solutions for non-technicals. Without getting too far into a review/investigation, I do feel like a different name would be appropriate. It's already a language a

I've not investigated the how, or where/when/if data goes places, but consider: 1. In a newly launched chrome incognito window - login to Gmail. 2. Open a new tab and launch Google.com, search for "New Relic" 3. Cli

Correction - Chrome has this built in, with the added benefit of using your searches and browser history for the purposes of serving advertisements (and whatever else they want to use that data for). And yes, even in incognito, this behavio

It's a front-end that gives you one entry point for StartPage, Google, Weather, IMDB, Amazon, [entire bang support list]. Just a search = "keyword list" I want Google search = "!g keyword list" I want Google Finance

If markdown isn't your style: Habari or WordPress. If markdown is ok: jekyll/octopress. Pagoda ( https://github.com/alagu/pagoda ) seems like a nice addition to jekyll if you need/want online editing.

Great points. Something like logstash for logging (which supports graphite/statsd type output) is a nice addition to the logging setup. Also, for some apps deploying code during instance launch can be time consuming. Depending on your

DNS is a good solution here, but it also seems appropriate to highlight that you shouldn't need to be connecting to these instances directly. As others said, some type of configuration tool should be in place, logs should be centralize

These maps more likely prove that the cost of a device is directly related to the income of its user.

But they do not (yet?) support pull requests, so you end up with a number of disparate forks.

Colo is great if you do enough work to justify the cost. Most of the cloud free-tiers and low-end machines are far cheaper if you are just doing one-offs and short-term development work on projects. I've found that using the cloud forc

I haven't tried it (EDIT: it = cassandra), but what's wrong with Logstash + ElasticSearch? You get a lot out of the box with Logstash, and you could always push the community to build a Cassandra output plugin (or build it yoursel

+1 Tails is an excellent and active project, it will install on a flash drive alongside an encrypted storage area that Tails will manage for you.

Why would you put genuinely private data on anything other than a private server? There are still plenty of good use cases for rental hardware. Also, using services that provide ephemeral and virtual data storage seems like a decent way to

I think Kiln's wrappers for supporting Git and Mercurial on the same project are impressive, but I can't see a good business case for allowing that to happen within your organization. Personally, the Fogbugz flow and implementation is way t

GitHub definitely has more users (4.4m claimed https://github.com/features/community ), but I meant the social interaction capabilities and features that GitHub offers. GitHub is much more organized around community and public feedback (se

I think one of the big issues with JIRA is that it's configurable enough to be a project management tool. It's a really great issue tracker (IMO), and I think when you aim to use it as more than that (involve proper releases, milestones, sc

I use both regularly, and while I definitely see areas that I like/dislike in each, I don't really see it as so one-sided. Care to elaborate on exactly what aspects cause such a dramatic swing for you?

Github has the social aspects nailed down, but for small teams or personal projects, I don't hesitate to use bitbucket. Particularly now that you can use HipChat for free on small teams, hosting with bitbucket and managing your project excl

These are appropriate considerations to have; and the concerns about performance are very well-founded. Nonetheless, the values I see in EC2 and AWS come in the API, role management, and the centralization of services. Being able to automat

I'm not directly associated with Piwik, but your complaints are valid. The Piwik project recently moved to Github, and some of that transition is lagging as most effort goes to the code itself.

It was always pretty clear that the early costs represented ingredients only, and the ingredients themselves have changed over time. There's also processing, containers, shipping, etc. when you're interested in someone making it for you. Th
