I'm really surprised to see Ruby so high on the list. I have limited experience with it myself, but I had the impression it was a generally well-liked language.

Don't have a blog post for you, but I'm pretty sure he's utilitizing Flask-APISpec ( https://github.com/jmcarp/flask-apispec ). I've been eying it for a while.

I drink 12-16oz a day. I avoid drinking more than that to avoid the health risks, like kidney stones. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to caffeine at this point, but I haven't been curious enough to test that theory. I don&#x27

I've heard this before. I think it's definitely possible that Spotify's revshare works out in favor of big artists, but I haven't heard an argument for that that didn't involve making broad, unsupported assumptions

I'm very excited about this. I've been eying HTTP EventSource for a while now, but there hasn't been a good solution for the backend broker. Kafka is overkill and Amazon Kinesis' pricing isn't viable if you have l

One thing that might help is that pytest can output test results as JUnit XML files, which many CI services support.

They have published post-mortems before, but the previous bout of downtime went unacknowledged. Maybe it's a new policy. Here's a postmortem they did several years ago: https://github.com/blog/1261-github-av

It already has that feature! Hit "New Plan", and then in the top right there's a link that says "Create Sample Plan"

I was really confused by this. Cloud vendors are not bring-your-own-IP AFAIK, how can they even get a non-virtual static IP addresses on the cloud?

Applying logic to pithy quotes is generally going to be painful, because there's tends to be a lot of implicit meaning. But let's have some fun and break this down. (Bear with me, it's been a while since I've done rigor

That is very attractive pricing. It looks like you don't even need to preallocate capacity, just read and write as you please.

I took a look at BigTable, as recommended by the article, because I was evaluating DynamoDB myself just yesterday. It looks like the minimum price for that is ~$1500 a month. Granted, you're getting what you pay for (3 nodes that sup

I had no idea Jawbone had a wearables line. I only knew them for their Jambox, which is a great product, but it's probably a tough sell now that there are innumerable competitors.

To clarify the parent comment, Varroa is a parasite that lives on honey bees and can spread diseases harmful to the bees. It's one of the suggested causes of colony collapse disorder.

It wasn't 26 people being surveilled, it was many people (hundreds or thousands) being surveilled in an attempt to track the 26 individuals.

He means that the cloud is so obviously expensive that any low-cost infrastructure must be running on bare metal.

The low cost is really impressive, especially given that the requests are relatively long-running (2-3s). Color me surprised that their use-case could benefit so much from Lambda's pricing. Obviously YMMV. Does anybody else have anec

The IAM authentication is really annoying. It's not supported by many client libraries, nor have I found an easy way to make arbitrary HTTP calls with signature v4. The only other options are completely public or IP-based whitelist, t
