Every trend in history has that seminal event that defined the future to come... If our spending habits are opened to advertising interests, I would consider that such an event and the beginning of a nasty slippery slope with unexpected con

Nick, I really appreciate the info and the links -- didn't know about the AUS gossip buzzing around AWS, that is excellent news.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a host with a nicely spread out global presence? I am aware of the big players (AWS, Linode, Softlayer, RimuHosting) but they all seem to have shortcomings that don't make anyone particularly ideal

Just a reminder to everyone that prices out the flat On-Demand rates of Amazon, a 3-year reserved instance price is 48% cheaper than OnDemand. So if you know what your deployment needs are, take the On-Demand price and roughly divide it in

Appreciate the heads up on Burst's network. I noticed their bandwidth for big chunks on dedicated machines is ridiculously cheap (40TB for like $100 [1]) but if the routes are inconsistent that doesn't help me a whole lot. Also noticed whil

I agree with you, but would point out that CmdrTaco hosts his new site (that got front page on HN a few times) on a Micro on AWS. He does a serious amount of caching (obviously) and offloaded all assets to S3, but it looks like it is still

This is an interesting and unique advertising opportunity for Scrolls to stay on the map and get attention throughout its coverage and eventual release. You dont need to try and dazzle people with screenshots or gameplay videos or demos, yo

There are some really nice work in this release like the compaction work and years of testing to help add to the stability that I think is makes a strong 1.0 release for the Cassandra team. I would like to see some more example data models

Agreed... very cool looking rendering but the response time is so slow I'm not convinced I'm doing anything until it appears like 30 seconds later.

Ok that is stunning but as far as the functionality it seems totally lacking... like they could do so much more with such a beautiful platform.

I'd be curious of stats via the API as well as stats you guys are processing on postmark as well. Not so much to change my life, but an impressive view into the life of a processing system. Starting with the type of stats you mentions is gr

Very cool guys, thanks for providing this. Would love to see some stats along with the service over time.

Looks really ambitious and look forward to seeing what you do. A bit of a chicken and an egg problem for me. You want me to put my business life under your roof but i have no idea if you will be around ina year or two so i am very hesiten

Was just going to post this link -- you guys put a lot of time into your AWS posts and they are excellent. You have a really nice/robust AWS deployment there.

ha, when I read that article all I had in my head was images of me doing death-by burpees and thinking "... I hope there are health benefits to that, because it really hurts..."

Right-o, that is the "tick-tock" terminology that I believe Anand popularized. They keep tech the same and shrink die (32->22) then in the tock, they keep the die size the same and improve tech. Then the next tick, take all that new tec

I know what you mean, there is all that nostalgia of going through that book so many years ago and learning the programming constructs that would benefit all of us professionally for years to come.

I wonder how many people here got to know Ritchie through "The C Programming Language", I am sure half of us have it on our shelves. It is amazing how many lives a single person can touch directly and indirectly. I hope Ritchie passed away

Do you have a link handy? I think you are right, I recall reading something similar that we were going to get huge power gains (like 30% improvement) for equivalent performance. That being said I expected Intel to fill up the high end with

I think the lack of delivered milestones and need for more money indicates that this team with the current vision will likely always need more money to deliver "the vision". I think of the group that got pissed off at the Twitter client a

Agreed -- it really seems to be a long term bet. They see the growth of hosted apps and cloud environments and I am sure that is making up a large margin of their sales (and have been for years). I think they are banking on dominating the m

No doubt they have some tightening to do, but they are always a generation behind Intel when it comes to fab; when they get the new architecture onto 22nm I think things should even out, but then Intel will be jumping to something much smal
