   Author of the post here. Nice to hear more Joyent success stories! How do you handle load balancing?

   Author of the post here. I agree. But that has always been the case. My best understanding is that AWS focuses on system correctness and leaves experience to the ecosystem.

   I totally agree. Docker on ECS, with VPC for network and instance isolation, an ELB for load balancing and a Kinesis for log streaming is working extremely well. Docker is feeling really great here as common tooling between a development sy

   Hey, one of the authors of Convox here... Convox is a private app deployment platform that runs in your own AWS account. Instead of paying to use a multi-tenant, black box PaaS, you can have your own for a fraction of the price. Convox is a

   In the Container-as-a-Service there's also EC2 Container Service (ECS). AWS just did a nice technical deep dive on how their orchestration works: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2015/07/under-the-hood-o...

   This is at odds with the simplicity, but there's no question that an artifact of the enhanced version is important for publishing a slide deck. Quick tests with the Chrome "Print to PDF" and a "convert to PDF" extension failed miserably...

   My anecdotal response... I read the post, and decided I finally needed to see what the big deal about this video is. I did feel your reaction -- that he won't be hurt if I don't pay for it at this point -- and actually did search for the vi

   `envdir` [1] is a common pattern for maintaining environment with a directory of key/value files. If you use `foreman` [2] to manage application process formations, it will source a '.env' file before running. You could call either pattern

    The "shit work" essay was picked up by another writer I deeply respect, John Gruber, who quoted it and put it in the slug: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/11/03/shit-work So I'd say it did benefit. "Shit work" is an evocative image

    It only offers ClearChannel radio stations -- so no indie or non-profit. But "98.1 KISS FM, SF Bay's Old School" is a local radio station, no?

    I've only played with it for an afternoon, but this is a killer service. It offers streaming of local radio stations, complete with title, artwork and lyrics for what is playing if available. Then if offers Pandora-like artist based radio s

    RVM is hardly development ready, imho. Every week I run into problems/confusion with the environment it creates and expects. I would never put it anywhere near production.

    Sublime Text 2 is hot. It's already gotten some Lion updates like Lion scroll bars and full screen support. It's cross platform (Windows, Linux and Mac), but still feels excellent on OS X. http://www.sublimetext.com/2

    To me this sounds like the work of meth addicts (I have another post on the thread about this), but I do share your general suspicions. All of a sudden AirBnB seems like a tough brand to keep clean -- at any time a host or guest (or frankly

    I too would guess the guests were meth addicts. I had the unfortunate experience of moving in with some tweakers and some of these behaviors gave me flashbacks. It's a hell of a drug -- my roommate was once a normal young professional, but

    I'm familiar with these techniques from RVM, but for Python I've been content explicitly calling python2.5, python2.7, or python3. What else does this tool offer?

    It fits the window to the size of the content. Or something. Can't deny it's confusing and I never use it myself I'll have to give cinch a try, I've just gotten used to really janky window layouts in OS X.

    What do you use tiling for? If anything Apple is moving even farther away from tiling with the full-screen changes in Lion.

    Wow. Shell is my favorite programming language these days. For systems programming there's really no way to get terser or more accurate programs with a scripting language. Once they work, my shell scripts are essentially side effect free. T

    Just make your small projects public, and with a proper copyright. It's incredibly hard to get someone to pay attention to you and your code even if you want them to. Nobody will notice one way or another. GitHub is the Library of Alexandri

    Cute name and well executed project. But personally, Coffeescript -> Javascript -> HTML sounds way too indirect for my taste. I've seen this patter a few too many times at work now: the new frontend guy loves HAML, and he uses it on

    Nice. The state of the art here is to use AWS CloudFormation to bring up the instance. With CloudFormation you can specify the base AMI and other resources, such as an Elastic IP, and AWS will either bring up the stack or rollback the entir
