I agree with you totally. Maybe in that case you could depreciate the 'older' methods in time.

Scala has a lot of utility and I hope that people don't completely discount the platform entirely just because of these examples. Hopefully in time as the platform matures we'll see a better solution to the above.

I wonder if this was intentional?

What an awesome looking office. Sad to see it not filled with great people. I dont' see how MS can't afford not to fill that space...

This is hot! Needs logging facility too but otherwise I'm blown away!

I somewhat agree with you, but you have to admit when you see 'M$' you instantly gleam an assumption of what the person thinks. In that respect its high context, and like I said you have to admit that. Especially so if it illicits a strong

Hm... As an early Scala/Akka developer, and contributor I would like to see these issues addressed by the team because I'm seeing a lot of trac jacking going on. This usually only happens when there isn't a response to issues.

That is a lot of people... Yeah I don't quite see how you need that many... Looks like it would be very noisy too, headphones a must. This is how you typically run a 'sales & marketing' office in NYC, by being open. Just surprised to se

As is life. You'll always find people that oppose everything that makes you... you. Religion, politics (<-- oh and i think you know about that one), ethics, money, fighting (Boxing vs MMA), Operating systems... etc. For every several pi

I'll try to keep this very very short. Every one of your points is grounded in... fear. Fear of X, Y, Z. Just do it friend. Take the plunge, you'll end up learning a lot while engaging in great discussions.

Look, I do understand your point and that you want TC to be a "better source of unbiased journalism". But TC doesn't want that. They just want to make money. While once in a while you'll see a good article over there, they'll never be a NYT

TechCrunch is not some 'outstanding' reporting venue with a long history of righteousness. This is the internet, this is capitalism. Start your own 'Techcrunch' if you want fairness, no one is stopping you.

In that respect Dotcloud would need some more abstraction, almost fire and forget for some of this to be Heroku like. But, I love competition and these guys are living the dream. Hope they continue to kick ass and add features.

If you accept that any of your instances can go down at any time, you accept the fact all of them can be down at one (the same) time. You might think your safe with reserved instances too, thinking you've reserved the dedicated time with EC

Re-building by reading logs out from S3 can be very slow. It should be seen as a last ditch effort. Not really a hot swap, or fail over solution (depending on data size obviously). If you can't use any persistent storage, then these machine

by jjm 15y ago
Why would you want to take a chance on that? Every instance should be thought of as expendable. They can go down at anytime. EBS is really just like any other NAS/iScsi vol and it wouldn't be such a problem if they did what they're supposed

by jjm 15y ago
At any time an instance may become un-responsive and so will local storage, no? I don't see how this helps?

Pure opinion: That convergence might show that Amazon tried to do a failover on a DC level. Once they figured that wouldn't work or east was down for the count they just let it cycle to the ground under latency.

by jjm 16y ago
Everyone talks about SLAs but I believe it doesn't consider the fact that the EBS vols are still up (not on fire, and available) and are phantom writing or that the network is queued up the wazoo so writes don't even happen in a timely mann

by jjm 16y ago
It still has to be stored somewhere though right? If it's EBS you've just made yourself a complicated solution that will eventually fail all over again. No?
292.
by jjm 16y ago
I do not believe you could be effective by moving away from EBS, you know without giving up quite a bit. Doing things the right way with EC2 means using EBS. It's the brake caliper to the rotor. Sure you could have drum brakes but they're n

You understood what I was getting at. I would have offered the free plan to get the app polished (post 7 day usage pattern I described) but if your not exactly ready to field support issues that flood in, it could hurt a tiny bit. Can't wai

by jjm 16y ago
Just an idea, why not also have a free 1 client, 100mb account? I would think that this should get you some good user feed-back (past a 7 day usage pattern), and also eventually force users to pay up as they get more comfortable with your a

Just some thoughts: The further away you move from low level control for abstractness (read: easy) you give up just that. Control. One of the requirements for this abstractness is everyone has their 'own' ideas of what 'easy' is, thus you a

I desperately want an iPad competitor to come out. I don't own an iPad, but would like to make a purchase on a more open bit of kit. But the very basics are being ignored. Apple has spent time researching and has built a large team to put i

If he's dealing with EBS he probably doesn't want to use ephemeral and the fact that not persistent.

That is the exact reason why I am cross shopping as well.

How does Rackspace compare with say Joyent? I'm cross shopping for some more CPU. I've been a very long EC2 user/developer.

Possibly, the machines that got rooted were just the nodes running PHP code. Each 'site' may have database user/pass for their respective tables and not the DB root. However, if the servers that got rooted were the DBs then that would be ve
