I think a budding entrepreneur should think a lot more than twice about starting a company, but at the end of the day this post sounds like trying to "time the market" which just isn't possible. If you want to be an entrepreneur, then you h

After about 10 years of not doing "rm -rf *" I finally did manage to hose an entire system when I entered the wrong directory (/) for script I had written to randomly alter files. 'Course it was on a test vm, but it was still pretty amazing

On one hand, I do feel like things are going fairly well compared historically, but it also, somehow, at the same time feels like everything is going wrong, and I'm not going to be able to have a job in my field very long, (retirement, what

Do you have your own linux distro?

I go home for lunch. So I wash my dishes at home because that's where I use them.

Pretty interesting. Might take a look at this. Monitoring syslog is a good thing that few do.

You make it sound like if you do one then you can do 100. Not the case.

I don't think using virtualenv to jam everything into a big deb file is really a best practice. But at the end of the day, I do have to do a lot of that with application deployment, but I try to only go as far as packaging libraries (ie. ge

I don't think they cost $20k now, but I don't actually know. That said, I have 3 in a big IBM server and the whole server, including the FIO cards was just under $60k a year ago. Maybe IBM threw in the server and external storage enclosure

I have 1.7TB of FusionIO PCI SSD at work and it's not even doing that much right now. These guys should open their wallets and get more than a little bit of SSD, prob PCIe, plus max out on RAM. 96GB is what most would start at now in a la

That sound pretty awesome actually. I'm surprised ssh isn't used more often to create things like this. Could be a big help in the virtual organization world of research.

I read that piece. The article made it sound like a super place to work...did kinda read like an ad.

Just used this today to create rpms from the rubygems-mirror and it's dependencies so that I could install on a redhat server and mirror rubygems.org for local builds. Worked great.

As far as I can tell, maven was invented for java devs to be able to download any jar from any where without any concern for where it actually came from or any requirements for it to be a replicable process.

Some standardization in terms of configuration is OK, but you're totally right that you don't want a bunch of "clever" configuration done by a RPM or OS level package. I haven't come across many "clever" RPMs in my time though. :) Mostly I

Don't forget that if it's a RPM that comes out of the process you can gpg sign it, and verify the files that it provided when your server gets hacked. Sure, yeah, you can do that with a tar file, but it's pretty easy to run one command on

I think this is effing awesome, and will be trying it out soon. Don't understand why devs use apt-get/yum to run their linux desktop but often code their app in such a way that it can't be managed with OS level packaging. Don't imagine a lo

I actually don't think it's that expensive per port, I'm not a networking expert, but I've done a cursory look at a few numbers and Arista is relatively inexpensive...maybe even very inexpensive comparatively. :)

While I feel that saying that massive systems fail in unusual ways is accurate, I also am concerned that RIM may not have the same technical prowess as a google or even amazon and yet in a way they are competing at that scale. Further, I gu

I am paying for it. :) It's not very expensive, especially if you pick 2/3 year options. That said, the interface is vastly inferior to gmail's, IMHO. What, no conversation view? I can't believe people still use non-threaded email views.

I recently picked up a fastmail.fm account and am forwarding gmail to that, in case gmail effs up.

I think that there should be more open source systems that do parity across serves versus replication. So to me this is great! AFAIK, something like swift suggests keeping 5 copies of everything, so if you want 1PB usable you need 5PB raw.

Amazon may be the 8000 pound gorilla, but up here in Canada people are still concerned about the patriot and other similar legalities in terms of storing our data in US companies or in the US. I hear this all the time, and not just public o

I run linux on my laptop full time, but that article doesn't really do desktop linux much justice. It's a softball article at best.

Wow. That last part "you failed to take initiative" or "You're not a team player" makes me sad. That's a fubared situation.

Also let's not forget SSL is kinda a mess. Not to say that VPNs aren't either though. It's tough out there. :) I'll be using sshuttle once I get our external ssh gateway up.

This is a great thread here. I think there are a lot of people, even institutions like where I work, that are looking hard at storage that isn't block based storage from some huge vendor or storage that ends up being $5000+/TB (looking at y
