Two different thoughts: First, It'll take me a while before trusting MS again (people often forget or don't know the depth of what the anti trust case revealed). But I can't even _start_ to consider it as they continue to be

Despite what DO said in their announcement, my experience says that Australian users are better served by servers in California than Singapore.

Something seems off with the routing. I'm on one of the big 3 internet providers in Singapore, and I'm getting a 300-400ms latency to their ping server (speedtest-sgp1.digitalocean.com) and to a droplet which I just started.

It also took me a couple seconds to understand what the parent was saying. He's saying that, if the concern is with inbreeding, why not neuter it [as you would a cat]. Which, to me, isn't a bad question.

That's about $13000 THB / hour. Considering that it isn't uncommon for junior programmers in Bangkok to make (and live on) 20-30K / MONTH....

Sure, I didn't know about that until someone else pointed it out to me just now. I agree it's a beautiful rendering. It's paid though. That point aside, Sneak said what I meant to. If the goal is to have 7 billion people usin

As you say, that extra detail makes it cluttered. I can only speak for myself, but having traveled to completely foreign locations, that extra clutter (that paradox of choice) just adds to the confusion and overwhelmingness of unknown terri

Learning more about OSM is something I've been meaning to do for a while, but I'll commit time and do it, because I think it's a great project. That said, every time I look at an OSM map, I find them uglier and far less usabl

I can only guess. Many of these are older than OpenStack by a wide margin. OVH in particular is huge, they own many data centers, thousands of employees...you just don't make that sort of switch overnight. The cost and risk might not b

Whenever I see a comparison to Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior, I wonder whether people don't understand antitrust law, what Microsoft did, or both. From a competition point of view, antitrust isn't concerned about wher

They didn't' say the chipset supported thunderbolt, they said the server did. That means the motherboard they are using has a thunderbolt controller on it, something like: http://ark.intel.com/products/71880&#

On the cheap end, you're looking at OVH and Hetzner. They've both been reliable for me, but I still wouldn't run anything mission critical on them (from anecdotes). Hetzner is Europe only, while OVH does have a DC in Quebec.

Did you guys look at bare metal at all? (either dedicated or colocated)? Spot gets you in the same ballpark of price on a "unit", which can be mentally deceiving since an AWS unit is pretty weak. In our experience with CPU or IO i

There are _a lot_ of dedicated options. In terms of price, Softlayer's at the high end. If Softlayer gives you a price/performace improvement over AWS of 2.5x, you can get another 2-3x that by picking a cheap (but not necessarily

In this case, that should be part of the hiring risk that the company takes on, else you're punishing the good developers, who presumably you want to join your company, for something they have very little control over. Tell your barber

It'd be nice if they gave an example of a trial beyond "work on engineering problems." What's the expected amount of time it should take to complete the trial? 4 hours? 4 days? 4 weeks? 4 months? There's a huge diff

I wish we could observe a parallel universe where Netflix went a different route and stayed with dedicated or went with colocation. I'd love to compare the outcome with their decision to go with AWS (minus CDN).

I looked at getting a Sputnik 3, but it's available only in select countries and 16GB isn't an option (nor is it for MBA, but it is for the relatively light rMBP). And I hate the Dell logo. In fact, I hate all text logos. It'

I guess we'll disagree about whether eliminating a global variable [in a multi-threaded language] is nothing more than "might feel a bit nicer". Same with using a class which specifically exists for testing. net/http wor

I find the use of httptest.ResponseRecorder as well as the proposed context pattern not very elegant. Just because go's HTTP entry point is an http.HandlerFunc, doesn't mean your middleware need to implement that same method. I&#x
