How do beanstalk and opsworks relate to each other?

by tellarin 14y ago
I agree. I did the same, but to less people. It's just that I get this feeling that we're mostly preaching to the choir as most contacts (that would read it) already kind of know about these issues. Still worth sharing, of course.

As mentioned in the article, "...even if Pirate Bay loses the case, it’s a victory for their cause.” Too bad this news item doesn't get attention from a wider audience.

Amazingly detailed and layered! I'd love to know more about how it was created. Too bad I don't speak Japanese to ask directly. :-/

In Brazil, a new law can be proposed by regular people if it gets one million signatures. While congress doesn't have to vote these proposals (they can basically postpone voting them forever), some of these have indeed become law. The most

Re-print of this one from circa a year ago: http://swizec.com/blog/why-programmers-work-at-night/swizec/... I've been thinking on and off about this since I read it then; and I mostly agree with it. Except for the 'bright screens' cause.

They even shutdown many factories temporarily before the games. Guess many are back on. Also, the city (an many others) grew a lot since 2008. Lots more traffic, heating, etc. Not defending the government, but the problem has also grown big

It's not just Beijing. According to the polution ratings I follow, right now (it varies a lot during the day, it's 2AM here now) Beijing is ranked 16th among the ~50 cities that the government rates. The rating right now is also the same as

From what I've heard, the main issue with OS X is with Chinese input. MS seems to do a much better job there. I haven't tried writing in Chinese in a Mac though, so I can't say much there. But on Windows it works quite nicely (from the poin

I definitely agree that having the same OS on your phone and desktop has a lot of potential. But calling Win8 'amazing' on the desktop is a bit too much. It's about the same as Win7, with faster boot times and those kind-of-out-of-place Met

I live here, and I have to say this, the air even tastes awful! It's weirdly interesting to look outside and to see the streets almost empty and the darkened sky at noon. It was worse from Friday to Saturday, but is still pretty bad. Peop

Citeseer is an open indexer, collecting files from the web and making them openly available. Many of those PDF links you mention are the sources for its index. It is nothing like Springer, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, Thompson, ... websites. Pl

Nor MIT. Which actually surprised me a bit, due to the culture of hacks/pranks that used to be common over there.

Agreed. It's absurd that a simple civil matter is turned into a criminal one with a possible penalty of 35 years in jail. And this not even considering the recent tragic event. :(

Most of ideas there are either useless or not related to Gmail, but to Gchat. Nonetheless, merging e-mail threads and multiple forward really could be useful.

The Reproducible Research movement and the like have been trying to gain ground in many different areas since at least 2009 [1]. Too bad its adoption hasn't grown faster. Especially with all the recent focus on "big data", applied machine l

I don't think this is the right interpretation. I've replied with my understanding of it in more details to your other comment at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5030865 (in case other people want to follow the conversation).

Where did you guys get that info? As far as I know, it's always been that if you distribute something with GPL code, you must make the source available to anyone that requests it. Not only to your customers. One can change though, for the c

Indeed! Most of the pics show ugly aggressive-looking species, but the Hatchetfish ( http://i.imgur.com/hd53Y.jpg , http://i.imgur.com/lZuFS.jpg ) are the creepiest by themselves. Hatchetfish: ghost-dead-floating fish-heads from hell!
