I'd argue the other way, but things may be different for you, depending on a lot of things. :-) I currently have 4 running virtual machines on my Macbook Pro. Three running a pretty basic Debian install for testing (yay, Chef) and one runni

Superb! I've recently started with Chef and the learning curve is very high, especially if you're like me and haven't touched Ruby before.

If you're already on Linux, you could just chroot everything. But that can be a little b¤%&h to maintain. Any particular reason you need this? I use throw-away VM's that I can revert to a fresh state when I'm done testing XYZ. Also, wit

Also, that's the best way of putting of the problem for the future to solve it. We have really good ways of dealing with it /right now/, as long as people pay attention to it early in the process of building/creating/designing something. In

I agree with you, I was way out of line when I called him a lier. The fanboy-ism may be a little to strong in me. But, to the point, he never said how much traffic he was seeing, so in his case /any/ traffic could be deemed "a lot". All ser

I've been using it for years, as have my friends and colleagues, and neither have seen "a lot" network usage, at least not compared to what we're seeing downstream. Also, he didn't even bother to give us any more information on what he defi

For people outside of US, where we don't have service providers that screws us sideways, this is a negligible problem. But I can see the point for people who are routinely being scammed by their service provider.

Yes, by default Spotify caches everything up to 10% of your total free disk space. This is space that you are not using anyway, so what is the problem? It makes playback of music you've listened to in the past a lot faster, and saves you do

And this is why you never-ever want to release a good product to the US. If it works great in EU and the rest of the world, you can be damn sure that you will meet so much hate in US, for some obscure reason. Well - from a personal perspect

There are no upper boundaries when it comes to latency, but at some point your browser/whatever will start to resend the information, thinking it's lost. Typically you should have around 20-30ms within the same country, depending on peering

Well, ping is relative. In Norway we generally have around 6-8ms to Norwegian Internet Exchange, and typically end up at around 30-40ms to most parts of Europe. At some point distance will get you. Regular cobber is not actually slower, but

For the love of god, never ever let your private keys leave the devices they were generated on. That defeats more or less one of the key features with key-based authentication, you cannot easily remove access to a lost key.

When I cannot double-click any of the fields to select them for copying, it gets pretty useless.

Oh god - this will end up saving me $100 in under a year, just in raw cost of CD-R and DVD-R. What a great product! If they'd just stick with a proper key-ring; those damn things break all the time, I think I'm on my second or third USB-dri

Some parts of what you are saying is partially true, but first of all, it's yet to be implemented, and like in other European countries, it has been blocked by high court, or similar. But - linking to absolute bullshit sources that feed upo

Thank you, finally someone who managed to mention it. I was at some point thinking that I've misunderstood the whole concept of load, but now you just confirmed my initial doubt, they are trying to sell a product. How did this end up on HN?

This has nothing to do with lock-ins, in it's proper meaning. You can't just make up your own meaning on a word just to make your article ~interesting.

If you provided a good solution for taking backups on Linux-system my guess is that you would get a lot of customers like me. If I could easily apt-get some binaries, setup what folders should be backed up and run backups every X-hour it wo

Other web-servers are good, but not that good. People are over-optimizing where there are no needs. One could instead say that you should use a more modern approach to a web-server, and then Nginx or LigHTTPD would be a better solution. Per

Great article, but why on earth do you use American Carrier-names on the phones? It makes no sense for ... the rest of the world. I'd be a very happy chap if every article about mobile phones would use the manufacture name!

Yeah - the market is huge, but when it comes to adoption rate one should really look into Norway, Sweden and Denmark, where adoption rate of smart phones make other countries look dumb.

Just because you pay for a service does not automatically ensure that it's safe and secure. At best you're able to get ahold of 'real people' when shit gets down, but that is also possible with Googles paid solution, Google Apps. I personal

Or just the fact that they are overwhelmed by users requesting to get their accounts back. A two-factor solution is the only solution to the problem with password reusing that we've been fighting since passwords were first thought of. Peopl
