   I agree with you 100%. For those of us needing to run MySQL, what would be the best ways to minimize the dependency on EBS and maximize HA?

   I agree with pretty much all of what you said about how a system like this should work. daemontools was next on my list of solutions to try out. I wish I had discovered runit before doing this rundown...my google-fu is apparently lacking a

   You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. A lot of these devops and sysadmin related topics can be difficult to break into...especially with the rise of PaaS.

   There are several other systems (including God) I still really want to evaluate, unfortunately I just haven't had the time to do so yet. I'll add a note to the post saying this isn't meant to be an exhaustive list yet!

    I used Instacart for the first time yesterday to have Trader Joe's delivered. It was awesome! Their website shopping experience could use a little TLC, but other than that it was solid.

    I wonder how much this proposal is driven by Ubuntu's push into the mobile space versus improving the Ubuntu project at large. Clearly it's possible rolling releases would aid both. I guess what I'm really asking is what are the possible ne

    A lot of bold claims here. It's unfortunate that the article focuses solely on the potential benefits of caffeine/coffe but glosses over the possibility of there being any risks associated with them. That being said, I applaud the author fo

    What exactly makes Khoi Vinh's website[1] notable? Not trying to be negative; I'm genuinely curious. I wouldn't have given it a second thought if I came across it in the wild. To my (untrained) eye, it's typography consists of a single font

    Thanks for the recommendation. Just glancing over the spec[1], I'd say there's a pretty slim chance I'm satisfying the entire thing :) Hermes is my first real foray into the XMPP/Jabber protocols and is definitely still a work in progress;

    I don't think I would consider this hacking your metabolism. In fact, as the author mentions, his metabolism actually seems to have "slowed down" since he feels fatigued more often than before. For a completely no-carb diet, this should be
