What sort of availability guarantees do you need? If you can tolerate a minute or two of less-than-full availability, Route53 DNS using geographical failover is a decent solution.

With 1password you have to have both the password database (one factor) and the password to unlock it. (another) It's not traditional 2FA but it fits pretty close. (a thing you have and a thing you know)

If you want to live in Manhattan, the Financial District is actually one of the more reasonably priced neighborhoods, especially if you want new-ish construction and amenities. It also has some of the best subway access. From my apartment,

I think you might be downvoted for talking past everyone saying that delivery trucks and fire trucks don't need parking spaces . There is a lot of street parking in the financial district, and almost none of it is ever used for deli

Delivery trucks already just drive on the sidewalks, and illegally parked cars/trucks already impede fire trucks and ambulances. None of those parking spaces are ever open to delivery trucks, they're occupied 24/7. Eliminatin

I live down here (a block up from Wall St) and the only place on Wall that I've had any issues with has been the barricades put up after 9/11 in front of 1 Wall that narrow the foot traffic down to a single (often covered in scaff

I run a pretty similar setup, but could never get z-push to work properly with iOS exchange sync. I spent a few days tinkering with it and trying to fix php bugs, but to this day I can't get search to work properly from my iPhone. Are

In the last two large NYC buildings I've worked in, the lights are on at all times. Even the "all off" switches leave about 1/3 of the lights on. The reason provided by the building owners has usually been fire safety re

I could have worded that better, I was referring to someone within the client organization adding on requirements arbitrarily.

This is a really good overview of some features that are common in enterprise SaaS, but I would caution against thinking that they're necessary to be successful in enterprise SaaS.* My experience has been that if you have a really comp

A few days ago I tried out an HTC Vive VR device with Google's Tilt Brush app. It's basically MS Paint in 3D. You hold both Vive controllers and have a brush in one hand and your palette in the other. I was amazed how intuitive th

I've been running a large ember app since the pre-1.0 days (2013). We made a few bad choices early on in how we structured our data models that were not the "ember way" and took a while to sort out, but overall it has been sm

I think support for cron jobs is coming soon, but the other challenge is that they're still working out the best way to allow apps to make outbound network connections. It's doable now, but requires administrator access.

Yes, though if you're just playing around with it, their sandcats.io service will provision you one automatically for free.

I was somewhat surprised at the level of secrecy around the location, given that it was a couple hundred yards from what I would assume were actual known targets. A stray bomb could have hit it totally by accident.

In my experience they're doing quite a bit to help people port apps. Every time I've posted to the mailing list or hopped on IRC, someone has been there to help out. The nature of sandstorm's security controls means that any

My company used WPEngine for a while until we wanted to move from a blog. subdomain to a subfolder for SEO reasons. WPEngine doesn't support this, so we decided to host our own. We are on AWS and have a pretty sophisticated Chef setup,

Depending on how much state your applications carry forward, I think killing the process is often the right thing to do. Otherwise, it's very easy to end up with connection leaks or just downright confusing state that can't always

In the US, a defendant who is acquitted cannot be retried for the same crime. So prosecutors would be unable to appeal to a higher court.

If that was the case, they could sell a TV with 5 HDMI ports with a Chromecast pre-plugged into one of them. But I suspect after a year or two people would buy a new $35 Chromecast, rather than replacing their entire TV.

Would it make sense to spin up a bunch of instances and then stop them, then manage your own autoscaling by just starting/stopping rather than launching/terminating? What's the downside there? You only pay for EBS storage, wh

It seems like the common thread between early risers and night owls is that they both find their most productive time during a period when people don't normally socialize, so that they can avoid meetings and have some 'maker time&

Regarding your first two examples, most new construction where I live (NYC) has switched over to a similar [0] which from my understanding is for accessibility reasons, and I suspect the second example is for the same reason. They don'

I should also point out that sandstorm only gives apps a single mounted directory that is writable and every "grain" (running instance of an app) has a download button that includes that mount point, so while sandstorm doesn'

This, to me, is probably the most interesting thing about Sandstorm as it relates to open source web apps. Today, I can write an open source web app and post it to github, but it takes someone with operational knowledge to deploy and run it

I get that there's a lot of complexity involved in running an airline, but none of those numbers are very big. In fact, they're pretty small. What specific tech challenges do you see that require building your own datacenter? My g

If your data isn't resource-oriented, you are probably better off without ember-data. We started off using ember-data with an aggregated stats API and eventually found that just using regular ajax was much easier. No hacks needed, just
