I personally like it when the form inserts a space for me after every 4 digits and has a maximum length of the field set to (number of digits + spaces between). For some reason I rarely see websites that have such forms. Maybe it is actuall

I am also currently learning Haskell and went with LYAH. I think it is a good enough textbook to introduce the theoretical part while giving enough examples. My problem was that I was able to understand the concepts but couldn't write

You are right I don't have emperic data. Maybe I'm wrong. The reason I believe that retention is higher until you exhaust the cell cycles is explained in the article. For instance, the reason why the active temperature during whic

I want to point out this is worst case retention after the maximum guaranteed writes are done to the SSD. For a typical SSD that means 70TB to 150TB. An SSD which is not close to that level of writing will retain for much longer. My Cruci

Vultr, who have offerings very similar to DO, have a class of VMs called "Storage Series"[1]. In my experience their uptime is similar to DO and their performance is better. Might be of interest to you: [1] https://www.

You don't need to evaluate all permutations, at least not in detail as long as you know the main selling point of each. Go for the setup that has the smallest number of components yet is complete enough for your specific case. For me -

The usage of 3.4 is 16% and combined with the 81% for 2.7 that gives us 97%. You can't replace 3.4 with "any version" and keep the statement true.

ubuntu/trusty64 is the most popular box and is officially supported (whatever that means). Just install anything you need with apt-get - you can do it during the provisioning step on first run.

You could use some website which you connect to securely (CA signed) which fetches and displays fingerprint C. You can then compare it to A and B and the one which matches C is the "true" one. Of course the whole thing can be auto

That's why enterprise SSDs are rated at number of full writes per day rather than GB per day. If you are going to write at 400 MB/s for 24 hours a day then you need an enterprise SSD and not a consumer one.

I use DO and not Linode but would like to note that Linode is more expensive only if you use DO's $5 option. Starting from the $10/month option, they are very similar in pricing with Linode being cheaper in some respects.
