$357.95/43U vs $7.99/8U. Definitely a real rack is better but I'm unconvinced it's 8x better for the uses presented.

Following ICT tradition, the Enterprise Edition is more than three times as expensive, while providing less stability than two of the regular products combined.

> ... 20% more money while working twice as hard. The idea that there's such a correlation between pre-tax income and expended effort is...profoundly difficult to accept without substantial evidence.

How satisfied are you with Kerplunc? Their unmetered VPSen look like an incredible bandwidth deal, almost suspiciously good.

What would it take to write a Windows driver that pretended to be a monitor but actually multiplexed to an actual monitor and a x264 stream? What kind of bounty would be required to get such a thing written?

Edit: Rather than fighting with escaping code in HN, here are scripts to setup symfony and tornado examples: http://gist.github.com/275785 The symfony one requires some more loving to the apache setup which is well documented ( http://ww

> We also used the maatkit tools to verify replication integrity. I hooked up a 5.0.84 slave to a 4.1 master, replayed 24 hours worth of logs, and ran mk-table-checksum/mk-table-sync on the whole thing as a consistency check. Unfortu

Yeah, I think this would be a great idea. I'd like to see a set of traffic generators that exercise actual functionality not just ab/pageload tests too, that works more of the stack. It should be reasonably easy to automate a deploy/test ru

There are a couple of different fruits being compared (and maybe making this more plain would avoid this kind of critique): Apache, Nginx, the static servers are baseline connection costs. PHP, Jetty/JSP, Mochiweb templated are one tick up,

Considering the article is a concrete introduction to statistics with applications and is passionate about your last point you seem to agree with Zed.

So how is one to ever know that stats is beautiful if all they see is impenetrable jargon? Where is a good, free, up-to-date resource for doing what Zed covers? We're all busy, accessibility and immediate relevance are common and useful heu

mkdir can fail atomicity if non-local storage is involved: http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org/msg2... I still use it for the quick-and-dirty lockfile case despite this.

I literally just implemented a slightly beefier version of this for a project I'm working on so obviously there's a need. There's a python implementation (dateutil) of the icalendar rrule format which handles nearly arbitrarily complica

At the risk of being tautological: self control is doing what you plan to do. The exact mechanisms of avoiding temptation, laziness, fear, etc are orthogonal to results.

I'm not even sure that indirect is accurate. It's a different style of control, that's all.

These hit my personal sweet spot of presentation skill, speed and content nearly dead on, fantastic work! I would like slightly more real-world examples than adding even? constraints to addition, but I'm really just being greedy.

As the article said, if the recruiter is at that level of box-ticking it would be a major disincentive for me as a hypothetical applicant. Generally, from the other side a candidate not having experience in RHEL (our bread and butter distro

I don't know that this was an intentional design decision but being able to fail fast and return may enable more aggressive load balancing decisions. Ideally that should be tunable for different architectures of course but the sooner you ca

The issue, then, becomes training. As you say we're used to ignoring entire classes of alert so having a documented process for how to handle specific alert conditions and training with that process isn't comomon. Like any other skill, us

There's a vast overlap. We have free soda, I know how horrible soda is for my body, my teeth, etc and so I quit drinking it. The problem is I quit long enough to prove to myself that I could (about three months) and since then I've quit onc

Redirected to a virus scan site despite running Arch, I guess they assume all chrome must be on windows.

Speaking personally I don't think either of those conclusions can be drawn from this article, but nor do I think they're terribly controversial as broad generalizations. I would love to see more and better science on the topic but I think t

Your points about the vagaries of activism and its targets are valid and I agree. However, you're still asserting that an entire line of conversation is impossible or without meaning due to the presence of, as far as I can tell, a singl

She could also be a pathological liar, secretly a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man or the Emir of Groovefunkistan. Once we start discounting the facts presented as fact by a principal in the article we might as well just

That was a fairly minor point in the article to me. I believe the concrete facts of the experience are far more valuable than the few lines devoted to an, as you say, simplistic description of the broader problem.

I agree and I have explicitly not attempted to state a root cause (other than the tautological 'men and women are treated differently' of course) nor any suggested fixes. I do not, however, agree that honest discussion can't benefit. Most o
