What type of support issues? I had servers with hetzner for years and I never had any problems, which also means I never contacted support, so I can't say. I'm trying to figure out if you were expecting support for things that mos

Don't think he was saying that stuff is shit. I think he was using the word the same way you might when saying "Boy, did I get a lot of shit done today!"

I know a simple blog isn't the type of site this contest has in mind, but a couple years back I tried to shrink my blog's homepage. I got some good feedback and was happy with the result. Since I go long stretches of time without

The point is that "small things matter." (1) For them, that was getting the speaker right. As for the references to RadioShack, I think he makes a good point: RadioShack was important in helping people build those small things. (n

Outliers exist, and you can build a team of them (it's been done, it will be done). The "trick" is to get people to "work" on something they love doing and are proud of. Also, and Carmack nails it, people are differ

I dunno, early Id Software seems like a good example. Personally, I think it directly relates to having people do something their passionate about. 20, 40, 80 hours...doesn't matter, getting a group of programmers excited and passionat

Only read the last one (since I was specifically curious about health). Mostly seems related to shift work "and the night shift"...which I'd say isn't directly related, but nonetheless interesting. Thanks.

Anecdotally, people who I've seen struggling with an 8 hour day tend to be less healthy (overweight, poor eating habits....). Whereas people who exercise more tend to have more energy.

I hear this argument/fact often, and while I'm certain that it's as true in the aggregate, I'm also certain that it ignores outliers. There are people who can be productive (and happy) working more than 40 hours a week

Quoting the article, quoting Carter: Libertarians argue that we have far too many laws, and the Garner case offers evidence that they’re right. And in the same paragraph: But fewer laws would mean fewer opportunities for

That's unfair to Techcrunch. Most countries have accepted China's claim for a while now.

Pets require a long term commitment. If you're buying one for yourself, you've [hopefully] put some thought into the implications. It's a lot harder to be thoughtful on behalf of someone else over that time period.

Your parent probably meant dirty in a very physical way, not, as you seem to have taken it, a demeaning way. I don't think of "dumb" when I hear "dirty"; maybe the popular Discovery TV Show "Dirty Jobs" is

Operationally speaking the single most important thing you should be doing is collecting application and system logs and having them easily accessible and usable (and check your backups every now and again). I say this with respect to the v

I don't think that's unreasonable. Honestly, there's nothing you can say to bring me 100% on-board. I'll never believe that someone's right to smoke is greater than my right not to be subject to smoke and that the b

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but if you really believe that as an absolute, how do you balance the harm to society? For tobacco, harm being costs for increased health care, health impacts on non-smokers, and frankly the simpl

I could cop-out and say "but if it costs you 10x more after the free-tier is expired, is it really free?" But I can admit that I forgot abut the free-tier. It's a good deal and a smart business move by amazon. Sorry.

If you come to the conclusion that the opportunity cost is too high for your team/company, fine...I can believe it....as long as you're also weighing the benefit of learning. All learning has an opportunity cost. I do believe that

Pick a smaller ec2 instance, and I'll find a comparable dedicated server that yields a similar price/perf gain (true, it might be more pronounced on the high end...). Your two side notes tell me that you're conflating dedicat

Again, this is demonstrably false. What's commonly meant by "dedicated hosting" is essentially the same service level you get from EC2 - they they care of the network and hardware, you take care of the software (1). The cost

As for performance numbers, you'll get better performance from a $400/m dual E5-2620 v3 w/64GB of RAM than a $1200/m c4.8xlarge. The E5-2620 will also include a lot of bandwidth (which alone could save you thousands of d
