Do you know how powerfull the free gears are that one gets with each price plan? I have a fantasy basketball league that a few of my coworkers and I play and a free service would be ideal for that. Can the free gear (as a scaled app) manage a postgres database with around 600 MB, or would that be too much?
Cloud Foundry. You can try it through Pivotal Web Services or BlueMix.

It reuses Heroku's code for several buildpacks, particularly Ruby.

I know that it works really well because (disclaimer!) I worked on the Cloud Foundry Buildpacks team for Pivotal.
It's not exactly luxurious. Depends on what you want.

I, for example, want very much to to be an individual contributor who also does architecture and systems work on smaller projects. The more obscure and the greater the risk from defects, the better. Oh, and it has to make money as well.

If you want to climb the greasy pole and be a prime player on a high profile system then it's harder.
Uncle Ho was prepared to throw any number of people under the bus for a unified Vietnam.

Case in point: they had a policy of regularly making battalion strength night attacks on our fixed positions, deliberately sacrificing about a company's worth of men. It worked because it made our commanders unreasonably afraid of venturing outside at night.
I'm currently living without any refrigeration and it actually works better than expected, but the circumstances are admittedly somewhat beneficial for this lifestyle in my case (I rarely cook with leftovers and there is a supermarket nearby; I hate fridge noises).

There are plenty of foods that don't need refrigeration: Bread, butter, dried meat, porridge, tinned food, and various fruits and veggies are food for days. Here is a good overview [0]. I usually just eat some cold porridge with honey and fruits in the morning and then pasta or something from the freezer or at the canteen.

>Heh, of course. But right now it could be used as an off-label treatment?

Why bother? There's still fuck all evidence that it works. (Bear in mind the placebo effect is a large factor in all Parkinson's trials).

This is yet another example of overhyped crap science being posted on HN.
Agreed, this would be awesome.
> It means you're more vulnerable to your vendors quarterly earnings needs (price hikes), it means you're more vulnerable to vendor technology changes (lock-in)

So use an opensource PaaS.

I like Cloud Foundry, which I've worked on. All the IP belongs to a legally independent foundation. Some people like OpenShift, which is from Red Hat.

There's no reason to roll your own. Time spent half-building a half-PaaS is time that could be spent on developing stuff with user value.
> You have to create a god damn scheduled task to do Windows Updates over WinRM.

Aha. That must be why I could never get updates working with Packer/WinRM. It would take a very long time to do a huge amount of work then end up never quite finishing properly.

> And it takes ages for Powershell to realise the task is running, and polling the status of the job is a PITA.

OK, so not really a proper solution then. Oh well.

I obviously strongly disagree. If you're disarmed, you're barely better than a serf, you are most certainly "subject" to anything your armed government cares to now impose on you.

What stood out to me was that the measurement was taken against 20 tables.

That makes me wonder if a smaller number of tables would have hit contention even in a read only workload.

It's apparent that Nilotinib plays a role with Serotonin, which is of course implicated in Parkisons and many other neurological disorders, but I guess we are hung up on cute headlines and not the real story.

I can't help but think that for one, that has to be ephemeral, and two, it can't last. Those at least sound expensive, and at some point, firms which don't need it will rise.

I personally think the chattering classes bent that "Emotional Quotient" thing into common usage after the Bell Curve and this article is just more of that. Don't get me wrong; the EQ stuff is important but it's not likely to be what some writers think it is.
I'd try booting to recovery mode (Command+r) then go to Utilities and select Terminal. I think you should be able to reset permissions from there.

I played this game a lot when it was still early access. I thought it was pretty fun but there were some bugs at the time that messed up several prisons i had built. I gave up playing shortly after that.

I assume those bugs have been fixed though! I should give this game another go.
AFAIK you still have to run those on a jailbroken device, letting the kernel decrypt the __TEXT segment for you, then dumping the decrypted binary from memory to disk. Though every binary is encrypted the same, no matter the device, so supposedly there may be some key that you can extract to enable decryption off-device.
How's this for anecdotes? I'm an ex-Amazon employee and I've never seen anyone cry at their desk, and had in fact never heard of this happening until I read the NYT article.

If you rented from a "professionally managed" apartment company, it's not always so easy to tell that you're dealing with a broker when you are.

The company name in the fine print of the lease is probably something generic like UDR or AMC or Essex or "Home Properties, Inc" or "Equity Residential". These REITs are brokers: they manage multiple apartment complexes in multiple cities in multiple states: http://www.rednews.com/2014/01/top-10-u-s-apartment-reits-as...

These REITs are constantly merging, acquiring and/or swallowing each other whole, consolidating into bigger and bigger conglomerate brokerages. The bigger they get, the more they can throw their weight around and control rents. Especially in "trendy" markets.

They tend to spam craigslist. They tend to require lots of fine print and have fees for everything, with contracts that are far too big and lengthy w/credit and background checks, excessive deposits, always always pet fees, and always at least a year when you sign the dotted line.

It's pretty scary what's happening in this niche: it's like they've figured out the trick is to steal any savings you might be able to build (rent hikes ~8 percent or more per year), thus trapping people in rental hell.
The concept was well known and widely used before it was known to have a lowest possible value.
I hadn't heard of them until just now, but they look really sweet. I wish more companies would offer a NAS service, or a high-availability NAS service — would be nice for Gitlab instances, for example.

It's fine for regular loads, too, so long as they do regular saves to disk and have a high availability setup. Plenty of setups out there using in-memory, checkpointed DB's and RAM drives on reliable hardware without serious problems.
Well... More concisely, what I'm trying to say here is that often time we don't consider all the costs, just the monetary ones, which leave us in situations like the poster's current one.

He considered the monetary costs, but didn't think through what other costs are associated (time/stress/performance/etc) and has come out "on bottom."

It does make sense if you do a proper cost benefit analysis, to yourself, in this situation. Otherwise, he'd pay Heroku what they're "worth" and never have written this blog post.

>All the ones nobody wants.

Which, in the end, is all of them. All this crap about "jobs, jobs, jobs" just papers over the fact that people don't like working and never did like working, but treat working "full-time" as a hazing ritual for who gets to acquire certain levels of lifestyle.

Now, I'm sure someone somewhere is about to protest that they work very hard for their salary, and why should people who work less hard deserve as much, or even, if we count by the hour, more. But here's the facts: by the standards of the Industrial Revolution, a 12-16 hour workday, six days a week, is full time, so in fact you "hard workers" with your mere 50-60 hour weeks are only really working part-time -- such layabouts! Of course, pre-agricultural hunter-gatherers usually worked something like 3-4 hours per day, seven days per week, so indeed you remain a very hard worker compared to them.

In the real world's real history, there have been wide variations in the quantity of work people do to earn their share of the available technological bounty, so arguing that the growth of technological gives us a moral obligation to intensify the economically-compelled workload of the average person... doesn't make much historical sense.

Translational medicine is bench-to-bedside. This was indeed translational research.

This kind of medicine seems more like bedside-to-bedside, as in giving the cancer guy's drug to the Parkinson's guy in the next bed over and seeing what happens.

But actually there's some animal model research behind it from the same people in 2013, so they definitely did their mouse-homework and hopefully it will continue to show promise in larger trials. From their 2013 paper's abstract: "Here, we show that lentiviral expression of α-synuclein in the mouse SN leads to Abl activation (phosphorylation) and lentiviral Abl expression increases α-synuclein levels, in agreement with Abl activation in PD brains. Administration of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib decreases Abl activity and ameliorates autophagic clearance of α-synuclein in transgenic and lentiviral gene transfer models." http://hmg.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/05/09/hmg.d...

I had some trouble with the arrow keys - it seemed like I would hit it 3 or 4 times and only move once. Dragging with the mouse worked pretty well though. Also, holding down the spacebar and creating a stream of pellets helped.

Slightly off topic but very relevant:

A lot of products fail because the entrepreneur built a product that noone wants.

You'd be better off validating your idea before you spend any time building.

Analyse any existing products in your space and contact your target market and ask them if they want your product and if not, why not. You'll learn so much more doing this than you will spending 90% of your time building. :-)

I'd also add that building a pre-launch presence is essential. The more people you can get to sign up to your email list/social media accounts, the bigger audience you will have to launch to.
Check out LunaNode too. They're an OpenStack provider in Canada that let you not just spin up VM's, but also have your own virtual network, floating IP addresses, block storage, billing by the hour, and some other neat stuff.

I've started using them over DO & Vultr and I've been really impressed.
> The number of tools and resources Heroku provides is quite significant, and developing/deploying/maintaining similar solutions is certainly not cheap or easy.

This is definitely true, but I think one of the (unwritten) points of the article is that it wasn't always that way. Heroku has become more of a full-service offering, so it's understanding that they've gone a bit up-market in who they cater to, but it's a bit of a bummer for the down-market folks.

I think you're right that Dokku could be a great replacement for such people (thanks for your work!), but I hadn't seen Convox. Looks interesting, thanks for the pointer.

It didn't sound like he has come out "on bottom". Rather, it sounds like he's evaluated all the costs and decided that Linode fits his needs better.

The blog post, presumably, is because there are still things that he misses about Heroku, and so even though Linode has come out on top, he wishes that there were some sort of hybrid solution. That, and there may be other people in his situation that haven't yet made the cost/benefit analysis themselves and aren't aware of alternatives.
What are the advantages over built-in syntax highlight in sublime text?
Engines are relatively easily swapped out for maintenance, with most airlines carrying spares, but these engines are highly unlikely to be retrofitted to older generation aircraft; too many engineering and certification issues.

The engines will be somewhere north of $10m each, but since replacement of parts at required intervals will also cost several million dollars the airlines will look at total cost of ownership to take into account differences in frequency and cost of replacement parts, probably with a health risk premium for the new technology. Comparing that with existing models is more complex, and of course fuel economy savings depend very much on the routes you intend to operate. The engines alone will be worth more than a typical 10-15 year old narrowbodied aircraft (with its engines, midway through maintenance cycle)
I am not affiliated with it any way! I promise!

I just wanted to share it here, because I am sure many of you know what it feels to be overwhelmed by a browser session counting some 500ish tabs. Even when you just want to work on those last 10 active tabs and keeping the other 490 in an unloaded state (using Firefox tabs grouping hopefully), loading the browser is painfully slow, and running performance is so much heavily affected by that.

Given I am presently going through a test switch from Firefox to Chrome (I am sad about it, but can't afford anymore slow JS performance), I decided to look out for something similar to "All Tabs Helper" I was using in Firefox (which adds a thin bar below the address bar, where you have tabs for calling each group of tabs in session), but then I discovered this and... well, it's a game changer, you have to try it.

For additional sweetness I recommend it using with Lazy Tabs.

Hope it helps!
Could you compare/contrast MagicStack with PythonImproved generally? Would love to know if MS is strictly better.
Meth is just the moral panic du jour, before the 2000s being a long-term functional amphetamine user was stereotypical behavior for jobs requiring long-term concentration (truck drivers, pilots, double-shift factory workers, doctors, students, finance types, etc.). It wasn't even a controlled substance till the 70s.
It's still hard to come to grips with even just as an exercise.

We had similar difficulties in the Pacific in WWII with the Bushido Code. The reaction there was, shall we say, less restrained. Grim business, founded in a vehement racism as a central operating principle.
For the desperate, why not? Of course weigh the side-effects against the benefits. First try placebo, if it doesn't work then try the real thing.

How to Deal with Fear in a Self Defense Situation
I don't have any insight into the values themselves, but each of those are going to have such variances as to make any simple summary useless. Products just to get people to stop smoking are a huge market and many people fail in their attempts to quit. But many people never get hooked in the first place, and even long-term smokers stopping cold is not that uncommon. For alcohol, I've never known a non-problem drinker who couldn't give it up at any time (for weight loss, Lent, personal challenge, avoiding prescription drug interaction). Similarly, my understanding is that heroin is incredibly addictive for some people but not others.
In the USA the prisons are filled with drug users. They are forced into poverty after getting out because they have a criminal record and have a hard time finding a job. Many are homeless as a result.

People will use drugs even if they are illegal, and making them legal would reduce the prison overcrowding and would be a tax income for the states to pay for fixing roads and other stuff.
