Yup, points and kudos to them for engaging with users/critics. OTOH, still negative infinite points for even arguing when a maintainer comes in and asks to opt out.

You guys have a serious patience problem. Sure, it was a bit frustrating, but come on.

Security groups: yes. Why no stunnel on top?

Interesting bit relatively early in the video: the thief asks someone to watch her bag. I'm assuming the idea is that the person would then ask back, "and boom".

+1000 this. Having lived in both countries, I now think that the core model in France (like in most european countries) is basically good and needs adjustment at the margin to allow / stimulate risk-taking and entrepreneurship. The US

Off topic, but there is not always "two sides". There is a tendency to try to frame and reduce everything to binary questions... but the world is just not binary.

Congrats on the product! Just a couple website level things: - http://geocod.io/contact/ says DC but shows me a map centered somewhere south of Topeka. - Random $0.02 suggestion: stop using "ridiculous".

To your second point - I think you're right, but I think that pattern - the productization of existing technology - is a very powerful, positive thing. And picking the right abstraction, so that it feels - as you put it - brilliant (a

Maybe you want to tell the load balancer before stopping a service, and actually wait for it to drain before going ahead. Or you want to disable alerts for services while they're being restarted. Maybe puppet has hooks to integrate wit

Let's not forget that our understanding of the world, and of our own biology, is full of holes. When science says "glucids exist", that does not suggest that other molecules don't, but we (scientists and the general public) have a tendency

Come on, it's anything but simple physics. Macroeconomics has nothing to do with "common sense" family finance hygiene or the mind-numbing model you describe.

Looks great, but calling it a replacement for cron is like calling word a replacement for cat.

This! Curious for people's thoughts on whether Solaris's SMF (or its general model) fits this bill.

Interesting hack, sure, but "poor man solutions" would be interesting if "rich man solutions" cost too much. That is not the case here. For someone that can understand this, runit will take < 10 minutes to learn.

All that unix software was so great! Apache 1! Woo! bind! Yeah! sendmail! Nice! That's pretty much it! It never crashed and was so secure! Happy times! Trololol.

OVH is super impressive. I really hope they manage to get better brand recognition in these parts.

Diversity Visas specifically check for that though - you must show you have enough funds to get there and support yourself.

Can't tell if serious? A datapoint: I moved to California, from France, on a diversity visa. I have randomly met 3 other french engineers who have done the same in my first couple months here. In the worst case it's a tiny drop wrt. to ge

Nice! But really, if you want it to be useful, ship it as something people can run themselves, not as a service. BECAUSE PRIVATE KEYS.

I think he meant rebooting everyone's workstation - at 35K employees even a couple minutes per person is something you probably want to avoid wasting.
