I've identified several technical problems with this domain, and this isn't an example of how to properly operate DNS. 37signals is setting an absurdly low TTL on these records (10 minutes; the answers never change, I absolutely do not und

A) My comment was very specifically focused on you, acting as a solo developer/founder, not a person you'd hire. B) A multihomed setup is not a black box of mystery, and is nowhere near as expensive as people are saying from the hip.

That's not an isolated occurrence. Most Web projects get it all the time from randoms, sometimes completely unaffiliated with the site in question.

At this point HBO is a favor for the cable company, not vice versa. Comcast's business would plummet if Comcast suddenly no longer had HBO, and Comcast probably knows it.

That isn't how your comment reads, particularly taking into account the second sentence.

Having administered several "standard uplinks" from 100 Mbit/sec all the way to multiple ten Gbit/sec links, I can safely say that if your transit isn't 99.999%, you need new transit.

I learned from trial and error and also on the job. In my experience, how-tos are typically antiquated or not terribly clear. My best advice would be to dig into ServerFault and Google what you don't understand.

He implied that Heroku is not his sole provider. I'm skeptical of that figure, too, as it's probably something on the Heroku sales site (99.7% to the 30-byte health check!), or it's manually updated, in which case it's probably rounded.

I think before you put an app on the public Internet for people to consume, you should be comfortable with everything you listed plus more. You might not be doing it for the app at hand, but you should know it at least. Especially if you're

If you are running an app that is utilized by more people than just yourself, there is never "a lack of dedicated operations staff". That situation simply does not exist in any known realm. In the case of a solo developer, you are the ope

That's exactly why you don't want to use those features, for what it's worth.

I'm sorry, but that's completely untrue. I can't speak for using Heroku specifically, but in the end hosting is just running an app. It's fairly trivial to make an app multi-provider these days through a plethora of methods. DNS and a low T

You're assuming, incorrectly, that cable would dump them as soon as they offered a Web option.

Google could store passwords in plain text if they want, because they're never going to leak. I'm only partially joking.

Not working at a startup is a waste of human potential? You're going to have to elaborate on that, as that's extraordinarily disrespectful to pretty much everybody else in computing.

"Other people in my class aren't doing what I want to do, and this saddens me." Startups aren't the One True Path of computing, and some people appreciate clocking out at a consistent time every day (or have an eye on a family, or whatever)

It was gone last night, before the LinkedIn news. I know because my session happened to expire and I noticed. At least 12 hours ago, possibly more.

The problem with voting with your wallet is that you and your friends are usually the only ones doing it. Feel free to vote with your wallet, but unless you have the momentum to overpower everybody else who consumes the show and doesn't car

I'm amazed Cloudflare got a response from Google that quickly. I'm a paying Apps customer and I don't see responses for 24 to 48 hours on security incidents, not to mention that Google doesn't have a stellar reputation when it comes to thin

Having used both, Ardour has a long way to go before it's remotely close to Pro Tools, even SE. I think you might see interest in the platform develop if there weren't dozens of distributions to worry about. The distributions hamper Linux

I read the comment threads and observe patterns. You are generally an obnoxious troll, enough that I recognize your name. Like I recognize tptacek as a security expert. You, in my mind, are burned in as "obnoxious troll". Other names are bu

I gave up this topic several hours ago, and you are just now commenting to scold me for it, and following me around to do so. For someone who self-describes as "not a troll," you sure work hard to look like one, based on observing you for s
