This basically states that Puppet is more established, which is an important point, but not exactly a conclusive "win" for everyone. Unless I misunderstand #9 ("explicit dependency management"), Chef does indeed have this. It has resources

I agree - if I saw "sponsored link" in a review, I would assume that the review itself was somehow sponsored. Perhaps some other type of notice would be more appropriate, but I can't think of what that would be.

Of course... right when I was getting ready to launch a site meant to evolve into an app marketplace. Leave it to Google's serendipitous timing. Fortunately this is a complex space with plenty of room for competition and complementary servi

You can observe this same multi-factor effect in restaurant or product reviews. When a restaurant serves one customer unsatisfactorily or a product is delivered in poor condition, the rating suffers substantially. This rating no longer repr

This is thought-provoking discussion, even if the concepts aren't particularly new. The web has a ton of disparate information, and we're always looking for better ways to organize everything. Some things that have worked well include searc

Morbidly fascinating, like watching a house fire. Kennedy's predictably snarky comments on the post make him sound like a typical troll and my interest suddenly fades.

The old-school brick-and-mortar attitude toward web presence is kinda what I was trying to imply by the vague "technical savvy." There's definitely a market out there that cares about small businesses on the wab, regardless of a business's

Just in case you haven't looked, delivery sites (e.g. seamlessweb, delivery.com) incorporate restaurant hours as a core feature. Not that they're great reference sources, but they're working with the same types of data. Restaurant sites see

This looks like an organized collection of bash scripts with standard libraries for basic configuration processes, much like the fundamentals of Puppet and Chef. This is great for simple initial setup (I'm sure a lot of us already have some

Additionally, this type of technique works great with content caching.

I meant no disrespect here - as I mentioned beans and rice are enjoyed world-wide, in all manner of different styles. I count a few varieties among my favorite food combinations. Thanks for sharing.

Beans & rice, a worldwide staple. Calling this "hacker" seems like a stretch though.

This immediately reminds of what IBM was making noise about doing around 2000: assigning partners and small teams, changing job focus every few months, and forcing more employees to work in a shifting open space rather than offices. I never

Reminds me of this, which also surfaced recently: http://www.seppukoo.com/ Also strangely well-designed for a simple novelty site.

This is an interesting and under-discussed topic (especially among designers), but there isn't a huge amount of insight in the article. Could anyone point out some good resources on threaded discussion design?

While I am swept up in the argument and the author has my head nodding along to each point, this is clearly an act of gross generalization that uses the worst of the blogging world as examples. A blog is simply a tool, or perhaps merely a l

The more thinking about community building and content moderation, the better. This is certainly thoughtful, if somewhat untested of an approach. This makes me wonder, could someone point to any essential (or particularly insightful) pieces

Wow, this API has been a long time coming. It looks to me like there are write operations for status, activity stream, friend invitations, and direct messaging. I'm not too surprised that LinkedIn does not offer all the contact details. Phe

Plug-sized servers sure are neat. They've been distributed widely for a year or so. But what makes it "cloud?"

The examples presented here could be handy for learning about Rails techniques or (in my case, at least) helping you re-evaluate scenarios in your own code. Very thoughtful presenation.

So they've created a Web front-end for the existing Q+A service? I seem to remember this already existing, but I could be mistaken. Perhaps this is more of a marketing move.

I think we're all well aware that typical users tend toward overly simple password choices. That's why helpful measures such as password strength gauges and password content requirements have become so commonplace. This is nothing new.

It amazes me that stimulants continue to be called "cognitive enhancers" or "brain-enhancing drugs." ...Really? Focus and persistence do not equate to intelligence. Not by a long shot, and certainly not at the cost of awareness and creativi

The concept of monitoring social site streams for dating/authenticity purposes reminds me of a site I heard about recently, http://ge.la.to/ There are many sites struggling to gain traction in mobile aspects of dating, and the problem is

I've been a musician for about 12 years. Lost focus recently; too busy concentrating on programming projects, and much of the work is remarkably similar. Mostly I've used Cubase for sequencing and audio (although I've used Pro Tools, Sonar,

While finance firms in NYC did indeed snatch up many bright technical folks, the same could be said for large software shops with NY offices like Yahoo and Google. The startup world here looks about the same as always - perhaps there's less

Things seem to perform about the same for me, but I'm noticing more of a solid overall feel. I think this has to do with polished-up graphic effects, improved animation timing, and fewer lock-ups or periods of inexplicable waiting.

I used the $29 upgrade from Leopard - not sure whether it would function as a full installer.
