That's a feature, not a bug :-) I sometimes find myself needing to connect to any instance in a particular ASG, and I don't really care which one. This tool is built to solve that particular problem. If I want to access a specific

I suppose you could store a mapping of AMI IDs to default user names in the script, but this would add a lot of overhead when it comes to creating and releasing new AMI versions. How about using tags to store the default user name for each

I don't make much use of cross-account roles so I haven't added this yet. If you're interested in making a pull request describing how this could be changed to fit in to your workflow, I can look at adding it. https:/&#

Not quite - the animations would have been created "off-line", and included when rendering the scene. mparlane explained it nicely: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11294300 PS: Hi Paul, hope all is well :-)

There is nothing for HN to implement. The problem is not that scrolling needs to be tested and fixed in multiple browsers. The problem is that this site uses a JS plugin to modify the browser's default scrolling behaviour, and this plu

Great list - I didn't know about glob operators. That glob negation is going to be very handy. Re number 2: That works in plain old Bash too: ls DSC{100..200}.jpg

It's not really that strange when you think about it. We are animals that have biological urges. However, we are social animals that live in a society. As a result, we must balance our biological pressures with our societal ones. Let&#

I believe you misread the sentence. "> 30 years" refers to the length of time "the rest of the civilized world" has held these beliefs, not the length of a prison sentence.

Synapse is a service discovery framework. Essentially, it just writes HAProxy config files based on discovered upstreams - it does not receive any requests itself. The scalability is handled by HAProxy.
