I haven't used Atlas but I recall in 2013 mLab being a pretty solid experience. A lot of great features for a reasonable price. Anyone have an idea at what market share looks like for for MongoDB hosting these days? As an aside I recal

Almost exact same setup for me GA-P35 + Snow Leopard running tri-boot (Linux, Windows, OSX). I reclaimed the OSX disk as a data-only partition as it became seriously unmaintainable in 10.7. FWIW I've not had any issues upgrading Linux

Depends on the type of checklist. If it's something like a grocery list, etc I tend to use Google Keep. If it's code specific then one of GitHub's project boards. If it's going to require managing a team, keeping up on t

Hmm, at one point wasn't there a tight integration between Koding and GitLab? Or at least an attempt to make the tools more cooperative? In fact a Koding acquisition by GitLab seemed like a no brainer. FWIW ~2012-2013 there was Cloud9,

StumbleUpon was "unique" in the aughties sense of the word. Before Reddit and Digg made things Hot or Not this was the place to go for interesting content. It wasn't loud or or overly verbose; it sent you to great sites befor

Many thanks to Graham! search.cpan.org was invaluable during my college senior projects in 2002 and much more so in my first gig. Back then I couldn't imagine being a Perl dev without it. FWIW I can't imagine a better way to trans

I remember my Voodoo3 quite fondly. There was quite a performance boost in games based on the Quake engine. I also recall their being poor Linux driver support until 2005 or so. My Voodoo3 ran right up through CS v1.6 (albeit struggling at

Upwork can be a stepping stone for talented developers who don't necessarily have the exposure, community or connections and may not have the accessibility to compete in other market places like Toptal. In my experience Upwork support

The (original) iPad I received as an Xmas gift in 2010 is still alive and kicking. In fact it is the most robust piece of ("mobile") hardware I've owned since 2010; outlasting various iPhones, Nexus devices, laptops and other

Didn't Rackspace acquire ZeroVM during it's 2010-2013 SaaS buying spree? I'd anticipated seeing ZeroVM as some part of their "cloud" offering but it looks like it was rolled into OpenStack Swift. Has Cloud Files per

It's unfortunate there is so much wealth inequality but that's a bit of a separate issue. In certain situations there should be a threshold and that's why estate taxes exist. However a lot of us not only work for ourselves bu

Ideally the presence of the `WALE_GPG_KEY_ID` env var should enable encrypted backups https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e#encryption . Put differently to be a "successor" it needs to be a drop in replacement ;)

by upbeatlinux 9y ago
Wow, great work! I am definitely going to test this out over the weekend. However AFAICT the `aws.Config` approach breaks certain backwards compatibility w/how wal-e handles credentials. Also wal-g does not currently support encryption

Why not initiate a share buy back, continue to trim the fat and go private? A return to their roots is necessary rather than trying to balance the share holder value of their B Corp status.

You're probably right. I think I conflated "it's too time consuming and I'm not so ambitious" with laziness but the ops statement is hard to unpack in its current form. I'd agree that Upwork is hit or miss and

Freelancing takes some degree of ambition and if you're just starting it can be time consuming. What I'm hearing though is you want the benefits of freelancing without having to do the work of a freelancer? That's a huge fall

I don't think you should look at it from the standpoint of what's popular as it really depends. Instead take a look at the company, team experience, road map, learning opportunities, size and stage of company, etc. If you enjoy le
