My point exactly. That behavior shouldn't be considered special or google-esque. It should be business as usual.

I've reached the indifference stage of my relationship with Microsoft. They just aren't relevant to me. And I don't say that insultingly: tech is a huge ecosystem and there are more companies that aren't relevant to me t

Many companies claim that hiring is a top priority, but do little more than put up a JD in a couple places. They then complain about shortages. You need to actively recruit talent, which means understanding what you're looking for. Bui

Thank you. By the way, I like the app. First load must be hitting the network, seems like that could come from a stored cached and refreshed asap. Also, it would be really nice if you could archive or delete a message from the reading view.

Fastmail customer here. This is a perfect place to answer the question: it's visible, it's the right audience, and it's relevant. Talking about whether we should be using Fastmail at all is, to me at least, related to the que

ok, ok. I think I'm understanding. Let me propose a middle ground. First, you really have to split this up into two distinct cases. The most powerful/useful is when you create an interface in your package for a structure in a diff

Last time I was part of the process to interview devops, we asked this question (pairing remotely tmux'd into an ec2 instance). I think we went through 10 people before we found 1 that could do it. And, of course, when he did it, it to

The very point of an interface is to decouple the caller from all the implementation specifically because it will work differently between implementation. If you expect two classes to implement it the same way, you an abstract base, not an

From personal experience, I've seen a correlation between software companies that "outsource" their devops and software companies that write bad software. This is more pronounced the more "magic" you get (Heroku for

My point was that there was nothing stopping every other company from doing this. Not in 2006, certainly not in 2012. Some of those companies, then and now (??), are better positioned to truly drive towards zero because of how awful the pri

I agree that storage, which is to be the focus on this article, seems to be a race to the bottom. But when it comes to computing, EC2 and friends are still many times less efficient (price/perf) than non-cloud solutions (cheap vps&#x27

Agreed, and to add to this: To me, the most useful filtering for tech job boards is...."not California" and, to a lesser extent, "not America".

The Sputnik? Only available in limited countries -- not mine (at the time I was looking, or now) which is an absolute deal breaker. There also wasn't a 16GB option (also not for the air, but there is for the 13" rMBP) and the real

Battery's important. I'm aware of the keyboard issue on the Carbon. It worries me that they still have trackpad and keyboard issues in 2014. The X1 isn't the only one.

I've heard good things about the XPS. I travel a lot though. I prefer 13" and last time I looked, I found very little that supported 16GB. Also, again, with the traveling, battery life is huge. This might also sound lame, but I al

There's gotta be a lot of OSX users like me who'd switch in a heartbeat given better laptop options. I know they're getting better, but it still isn't that close.

The panic was that the situation would cause drastic harm, not that it wasn't a real issue. The fact that they fixed the problem is exactly the reason why it was overblown. (according to the article, anyways).

Seems to be a lot of things at play, but what surprised me was the ability to issue a modified part without a change to the model number. Seems like something that could be enforced automatically? Like a version control system? Are we runni

Yes, you're right. That was obvious once I got the data. I still thought what I had was worth writing about :) As you say, that grouping is arbitrary and, it was more likely to include packets that shouldn't have been included (

I recently discovered Vultr [1]. Slightly cheaper than DO with lots of location. I only had a couple instances running up for a bit while I benchmarked some code (I wasn't benchmarking them, so I didn't compare it to someone else)

No, I don't. Also, my view of Azure pretty much comes from experience with it long ago and a year-old Gartner analysis [1]. I can easily accept that Azure is very different than it used to be. I can also easily accept that it's do

The Little Redis Book [1] might be better. Redis is easier to pick up and probably more useful as it's more complementary to existing database options. [1] http://openmymind.net/redis.pdf

That might be one of the mistakes, but it isn't the start of the problem. Tangibly, it's either United States v. Microsoft Corporation or Longhorn / Vista. Intangibly, it's the attitude that permeated the company that sa

No, we didn't have memory leaks, but I do remember we had to build GM from source because the version in the ubuntu rep was old and it DID leak. For gifs, we used gifsicle, but we didn't support the full set of functions with it.
