I'd agree that in a perfect scenario, you should be able to push code at any time confidently. But for many companies and projects this is not really available. As well, in many organizations the person who has to fix broken stuff is n

With the new resolutions being pumped out on laptops, (2,880 x 1,620 for 15" Thinkpad W series) it was inevitable desktop monitors would have to catch up.

It's not about the load balancing software itself, say HAProxy or Nginx, but with ELB AWS autoscales and handles failover between availability zones. You could certainly handle spinning up your own LB instances, managing DNS/Elast

I wonder if this is a regional thing. Other than when in a group or when the driver was preoccupied on their cell, I've always made small talk with taxi drivers and uber drivers.

I've yet to try uber X here (in Atl) as there always seems to be an uber black far closer. I don't think I've ever waited more than 15 minutes. I'm seeing a few lyft vehicles around recently also. I do wonder if in ATL,

It's not just the pure numbers, but geographical and cultural range. 8 million people in an area (16k sqmi) smaller than the US State of West Virginia(24k sqmi) are going to have an easier time understanding and voting on issues affect

In many states, it'd be perfectly legal to tote a rifle in a downtown mall.

I would guess this is why amazon keeps expanding their distribution footprint so much. I would hazard a guess a rather large percentage of the US population is already in a 2-day ground shipping radius. In the past couple years, I can only

It's also not like this is new in the US, it's just becoming more affordable and easier to arrange. Private railroad police have been here since the time of Lincoln. Office buildings, hotels, and apartment/condo buildings hav

What I've found that works rather good is having your own internal IRC server, so you can have as many rooms as you need. Everywhere I've worked has tended to have rooms per group/project with the needed overlap. It's al

Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to compare actual crime rates, much less "crime risk for someone not engaged in an illegal enterprise" across cities. The FBI rates are calculated per city population, and fail to take in

I kinda wish it weren't so, but I've found that Facebook is the place to go for Restaurant info. Most all of the places around me regularly update their FB pages with specials, events, etc. The learning curve and processes to &quo

Is it just me or is this spectacularly creepy? "I bet you can't cyber stalk my friend! I bet you we can!" I could understand if this was at defcon or a security/privacy related conference and all parties involved were in

Seriously? You could also state "Unemployment literally doubles if you're Black or African American." ( http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat07.htm ) The way statistics on unemployment, earnings, etc by degree lev

Do you remove the battery from your phone before talking in person? The NSA could very well listen in to your phone's mic/s. Your phone probably has a camera or two. Even if you have no phone, everyone around you likely does. If y

Also, they can use fruit that doesn't look as pretty or is lower quality. Fruit used for juices are those not pretty enough to sell, fruit used for concentrate is those not tasty enough for "pure" juice.

It could make one wonder if there aren't NSA employees working full time as open source contributors to make sure open source encryption software (or even OSes..) remains un user friendly and out of general use. I would certainly prefe

Reporting can be surprisingly complicated. You can allow users to run raw SQL queries, or have a reporting interface that is basically is an SQL query builder behind the scenes, and have extremely powerful reporting abilities. The problem i

They are likely referring to the electronic article surveillance systems that many shops in the US use. They detect tags that are embedded in packaging, and now even inside products by the manufacturer. The only non-governmental metal detec

Boredom primarily, and a sense of competitiveness in trying to be the first to finish the test. Oddly enough, I get the same emotions filling out the patient information paperwork at doctor's offices etc.

I live in downtown Atlanta. Cabs are simply horrible here. I don't think I've ever called a cab that's arrived in under 30 minutes. Several times a passing cab has stopped, flat out lied and claim to be my driver, only for me

Until the NSA issue actually has an effect on the every day lives of the american population, it's going to be hard to get much support, when there are issues will actually make a difference in people's lives. We, the hackers and

Well, it seems many people are convinced this is just a clever cover up. To some, it must make more sense that the NSA, with limitless access to personal data, can't tell whether someone is actually plotting a terrorist attack or not,

"The JTTF" didn't interrogate anyone. Detectives from the Suffolk County PD, who may also be members of a JTTF and identified themselves as such, received a tip and followed up on it. What's misleading is trying to say t

Far better in my book. It means what likely happened is any one of her FB friends, or since the firecrackers were public, anyone else saw the image of fireworks and possibly other comments, became concerned, and reported it to law enforceme

The JTTF isn't an agency, it's a task force lead by the FBI in a local region with membership of local and state law enforcement. First one was in NYC, there are now task forces in most major metro areas. Most states and major cit

If someone had posted a question asking how to end an unresponsive ssh session, perhaps RTFM would be an appropriate response. In this case someone is sharing knowledge that could be useful to many people. Just because something is written

I feel like on the NSA issue, the mass public just doesn't care. It's too abstract. Until something like actual recordings or transcripts of everyday americans are leaked, "Joe the plumber" will still be thinking "I
