hah. why do people fall in this trap over and over again? if you can do basic math you understand that the cost of people is >>>> cost of the space. For small startups, one person can cost you more, per month, than all your re

In hindsight things are obvious. I think the way to look at it is from the point of view that people have before the event happens. You also weigh in all the warnings that you are receiving. No matter what you build, if it's complex en

the point is that there is almost always a non-zero amount of work you have to do to file your taxes. Depending on your situation the amount of work can increase. For a large chunk of people the IRS already knows what they're supposed

Once you put it online w/ public access I think it's fair game. I'm more in the camp of: don't put things you don't want other to share / look at online (yes, pictures of your kids especially)

IMHO Perl 6 will not catch on / be even mildly successful without a clear upgrade path from Perl 5. The ask for people to use Perl6 is a huge one given it's basically a completely different beast that just resembles Perl5. Without

Kinesis != Apache Storm The easiest way to think about Kinesis is a managed queue that can remember the history for the past 24 hours.

buying VW stock makes perfect sense. you look at what the value of the company is and when you see a large disconnect between the value and the stock price you buy.

this is awesome. as someone who wrote one of these (i.e. chip8 emulator) myself way back I am in awe about how polished this is. I think this is one of the best way you can get a hands-on experience on emulators the diy route. Awesome j

How is this better than going the Cloudformation route? (genuinely curios) Seen Cloudformation coupled with Chef or Puppet. I don't see why Ansible would not work in the later stages of bringing up the machines, but personally think it
