   Good thought. I believe SRP is patent-encumbered.

   Yes because the government should control and approve where I donate my money. That seems free.

   I like SSH personally.. how else do you log in to figure out why your production instances quit logging (or anything else). I do appreciate the logic behind this, though... what he really seems to be saying is "turn off SSH to see if y

   I like SSH. But I'm the founder of Userify ;) http://userify.com Also, S3 buckets cannot scale infinitely. This is a huge myth http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2012/03/amazon-s3-performance-tip...

   I agree. Not to toot own horn too much, but I use SSH for everything, including backups, automated jobs, live log monitoring, etc. disclaimer: founder Userify

   Userify is awesome for this - disable SSH user accounts at any time and then re-enable when you realize you still need SSH to find out why your instance stopped sending logs!! ;)

   Check out Dome9. Amazing tool and I think they work with both AWS and elsewhere.

   I learned assembly on the Atari 8-bit (like the C64 and AII, all of which used a variant of the Motorola 6502) which had an assembler named MAC/65. MAC, of course, was short for macro. This was in the early 80's also. Good times.

    MySQL is ubiquitous, pgsql less so. Most cross-db tools start with MySQL compatibility first. Regardless of whether a given tool is better for some use case, targeting compatibility with the market leader makes all kinds of sense.

    Is it in fact sqlite? Is it erlang? What kind of network is required between nodes? Can I encrypt it via e.g. autossh on a particular port on cloud instances outside of an Amazon-style VPC?

    Only verdana is specified as a font-family for most of the white text on red. This is probably sub-optimal, consider Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;. (Also, font-weight: bold would help on the smaller text.)

    The fact that you would even theoretically be fired for expediently using a gender-specific pronoun is beyond ridiculous. Unless, of course, you're part of the political correctness secret police.

    I developed a system called Ad-Curve that helps you crunch the numbers. (I'm working on a better explanation, but in the interim check out the "Mendoza Pottery" case study which walks through the calculations.) It's real

    The Supreme Law of the Land is the Constitution, right? The Fourth Amendment has a few things to say on this. I'd strongly advise you to actually read it -- it's only a few sentences -- and make your own determination on what you

    There are no end-to-end secure systems. So you're typing this on OpenBSD? Sure, because that's secure. Your RPM's are signed, so you're pretty sure they're safe? Or you're using Funtoo or Arch and compiling fro

    You might be missing the point a little bit. You're correct, but end-to-end encryption is irrelevant if the operator changes the (e.g., Javascript) code in a webmail app and maybe even just for a single user. The trust model has to inc

    My guess would be SSL. Varnish doesn't handle SSL directly.

    cek is definitely right, but the point that I'm trying to make is that API's should be a building block as important -- nay, MORE important -- than OOP in the first place. Someone (sorry, can't find the reference) once called REST "what OOP

    Thanks johns! tl;dr: 1) Eat your own dogfood. Use your API to build your app. If you can't do that, your API (and app) is borken. 2) API's are a conversation.* If you don't build them, the conversation will continue without you. Somewhere e
