Upon regaining access to our servers, Pingdom did not report the site as back up until 15 minutes later. In our configuration, Pingdom checks once a minute, from all over the world - which did imply a network connectivity issue.

Would love to know the root cause. Especially if international connectivity takes 15 minutes to come back. Maybe DNS related?

There's also the obvious risk with even using a single PaaS running on multiple IaaS clouds. If your account with the PaaS gets hacked, or they get acquihired, or whatever, you can be screwed too.

Figuring out exactly where to have redundancy in your business is hard. Especially because building something to be redundant imposes costs (more expensive, slower development) and sometimes itself is the cause of outages (lots of hilarious failover-related failures have taken down sites).

I'm sure we could have some sort of JSVM, we could even have some sort of bytecode for the HTML, but it would destroy part of what makes the web so great: it's openness. The ability to view the source of any webpage, and even make chances and enhance it locally.

There is also the fact that certain optimization can only be done by the browser if it has the actual source code rather than the compiled bytecode.
was just going to post, asking if something like this existed.
I agree with the general thesis of the article, but at least in the software industry there are two big problems with this reasoning.

The first is that, notoriously, if one programmer working 50% more time won't advance the project 50% faster, that is even more true if you try to increase by 50% the number of programmers. Software development is incredibly non-linear (and as a project manager I always have to struggle with my manager about this - it is incredible how much linear thinking is ingrained in so many people's minds).

The second problem is that, also notoriously, software developers vary incredibly in individual productivity, much more than hourly wages do.

So, where engineering (not just software) work prevails on other kinds of work, a few geeks working very long hours can really be more productive than more people working less hours. But this does NOT work in most other environments, and even in software development:

- there is a lot of repetitive work to do that real geeks aren't going to do

- there aren't enough geeks to do all the software development that our societies require

In the end, one size doesn't fit all, and solving this situation with regulation would be very difficult (even if some better regulation could help, especially if it could make unpaid overtime much more difficult/risky for employers). The best chance would be to have one or more very convincing examples, like Ford was almost a century ago. Any candidates?

You might be right. Apparently he "would not divulge his betting strategy" (http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/breaking/meet-the-bl...), which means we won't be able to even know if he is an advantage player or just got really, really lucky. Nevertheless, the article I just linked to says that $100,000 per hand is the highest maximum Johnson has ever heard of, so assuming he is in fact the only person betting this much, and since he claims to have bet that much only because he's using a mathematical strategy that puts the odds in his favor, a liberally applied combination of Occam's Razor and Bayes' Theorem suggests that the positive outcome is likely more than just luck but that the odds really are in his favor.
A Pi Story
That's not strictly true: you'd still like to get reasonably quick feedback, especially if you're trying to make a release.

It's also nice to be reasonably confident that your commit won't break the build, for which you should probably run a good chunk of the tests before committing.

There are some workflows (Gerrit springs to mind) where you can let the CI server work on your code without breaking anything else, but even then there's a cost to the context switch when a test failure means you have to return to a piece of code you thought you'd finished.
I think it will look exactly like it does now: like a brutal and dysfunctional police state violating the privacy and dignity of its citizens and locking them in cages for trivial offenses that harm nobody.

Lots of essential Python features are not part of the language, but belong to its standard library. The thing that makes JavaScript so portable is that it basically has no such thing (except maybe Date and Math).

So to make convenient use of Python in the browser (or even to be able to run currently existing Python code), you wouldn't just have to embed the interpreter – you would have to ship this huge library. And you would have to do that for each language you want to support.
Like AznHisoka said, there is a lots of apps that people need and want, but no one gives them attention, if you have a big company like Google, Apple .etc, you don't need something people want, you just put your name on it and it's sold. Just building something people want is not enough.
You need different regions for DR in any case. It's hardly unprecedented for network issues like this to take down multiple data centers in an area even when they're not part of the same provider.

(b) To make negatives:

Note: the answer to a question beginning with Does is always in the present tense, third person: Does he like the cinema? – Yes, he likes the cinema; or Yes, he does.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
I'm surprised no-one has yet brought up the issue of equality.

The US government has now decided that rich citizens get easier treatment than poor citizens - isn't this a moral issue? Shouldn't all citizens be treated equally?
The overall design lacks that "magic touch", for example if you go to support tab, creating a new support ticket requires one to click 'view' icon? Not very natural. Also there is no way to create a new invoice, and yet you are able to see them in the system. Same goes for assets.

Also when you log in, there is a notification at the top, the icon inside just doesn't fit - it's not aligned with the text and it has too much left margin applied. This pretty much goes with all elements. I'd visit themeforest.net and check some of the admin themes there, you'll notice that most of them "feel" right, everything is exactly where it should be.

Blonde Escort
I have found young businessmen have been the best clients for Blonde escorts, one of my most memorable clients being as young as eighteen.

I worked in Reno when Nevada became the first state in the Union to put a measure on the ballot legalizing recreational marijuana (up to 2 oz.), I think in 2003 or 2004.

It polled above 60% in favor, but when it came time to put down the bong and go vote, it ended up over 60% against.

I think it will definitely pass on the west coast some year soon, but the nation as a whole won't accept that and you will still have these problems when you venture into "the REAL 'muricah".
The Gentleman's Agreement
You have a programmer who works for 13 hours a day. That programmer does three days in a row of 13 hours. That's 39 hours, not including any travel etc.

Give / force them some time off before they can start another block of 40 hour work.

"Flow" is mentioned so often, but I'd really like to see some good quality research to back it up. For sure people feel like they're in a zone, but how much of the code produced in that time is great quality, and how much is error-strewn garbage?

The need for standard weeks is still pretty strong, but that's not insurmountable problem. Really, when people talk of weeks they mean "continuous chunk of work with no 48 hour break".

A bigger problem is making people think that 60 hour weeks is normal, or honourable, and that a 40 hour week is lazy or disloyal or unproductive or harmful to the company. That's not true, and it's possibly leading to early death of some people. It's certainly making some people miserable.
Macros make language design experimentation easier. This issue is not orthogonal to tackling the other issues the OP cares about.

There are good reasons to doubt the overall value of macros in production code - I won't argue this either way - but OCaml has had success by separating the macro expansion mechanism (camlp4) from the main language. People who want macros can have them, people who want a production language without macros can have that too.

Trying to be more like Wolfram imo, there's still lots of searches where Google fails for me, for example doing a search for "est time" currently gives the time in Eastern Kenya. Wolfram gives me the EST time in Australia (because that's where I am), if I change the query slightly to "east usa time" then in Google I get nothing, in Wolfram they show me the difference between the EST time in Australia vs the USA.

Yes. And it just happens that it's optimized for js and sucks compared to a lower level VM.

Not to mention the extra overhead, not having proper traces for exceptions, source-line equivalency on errors, etc.

For this reason I'm using a set of different VPS servers running on both Linode (UK datacenter) and Slicehost (US datacenter).

So separate datacenters, admin layer, providers and also important: billing.

Running a high available cluster in this setup isn't trivial though, mostly due to network splits. It works quite well for specific purposes where availability is more important than data integrity. (remote monitoring in this case)
iOS devices can render Infinity Blade smoothly. I don't think few shapes (probably automatically cached as a bitmap) are going to be an issue.

And I don't get why Apple bothers with CgBi PNGs, since endian swap on ARM is a single cycle instruction, and it's probably free anyway while moving the bitmap to the GPU memory.
Algorithm Finds Thousands of Unknown Drug Interaction Side Effects
AZs are supposed to be distinct datacenters within a single region. If all of your customers are in (e.g.) APAC, it's not unreasonable to put all your online processing within APAC, with high bandwidth connectivity between them and from each to customers. You might not be able to do master-master over extremely long distances for performance reasons under normal conditions, but you'd keep warm or cold backups totally out of the area. There are a lot of factors which go into the decision, but there are definitely times when 2 datacenters (often run by separate providers) with independent connectivity, but both within a specific distance, makes more sense than extreme separation.

It's sad how people knew how to do this stuff ~2002-2006 and then forgot it all (or just stopped caring) once the delicious cake of cloud appeared.

Sparrow seems to be going down the wrong path. They say they don't have server side expertise so they are promoting a solution that the iPhone clearly isn't meant for.

Simple solution, hire someone who understands secure backend infrastructure, wire up the push notifications, and charge a small monthly fee for the service. If they could convert a small percentage of their user base, they'd make their investment back and more.

I like working a lot, making great stuff. Some people don't. But that's not my problem.

Asking me not to work, just because some body else doesn't want to, is injustice.

I have faced this situation in the past. I used to get a lot of work done in my last company(I was productive and used to push crazy hours) and by that definition I was learning, making and getting a lot of recognition.

Soon a bunch of girls went and complained to the manager its becoming a one sided game. And the suggestion they gave to solve their problem was to stop me from putting those extra works. Now here is my problems, for whatever reason if you can't/don't want to do something big in life. I doesn't mean everyone should do the same to make you feel good.

This is more or less like socialism. You force the rich to become poor just because the poor don't want to be rich.

When Apple announced the various background task "modes" available (push, call placing, audio recording/playing, task completion) I immediately noticed that one use case was missing, and that's something like cron/at. Just like Apple allows tasks to run for a few moments for completion, they could allow tasks to run at scheduled times or intervals for a very limited time span, and maybe limit the number of apps/triggers allowed.

This would cover many use cases, such as alarm clocks, calendar notifications, and various poll-based background checking like new email count, maybe even headers fetching, while retaining control of watt usage.

In the meantime, I suppose Sparrow could integrate with Prowl.
The problem is focusing on what they're good at leaves the user with only half a product.

I've just downloaded the app and it's awesome from a UI perspective, but it's never going to be an option as my primary mail app in it's current form which means I really can't recommend it to anyone.

Yes Apple might change their policy on this but it seems unlikely, at least in the short term. I think their best hope would be a new mechanism that allows something like this in OS6 rather than Apple just going "OK" but pragmatically they need to be looking at what they can do rather than crossing their fingers and waiting for Apple.

Does anyone know if ops teams generally have to clear these sort of announcements with PR/comms? I assume they would, given how they get reported on.
Would love to see a writeup on how to set up boxcar for as a replacement. Maybe Sparrow should implement their push notifications by just integrating with Boxcar and making it idiot proof.
You'd be surprised by how much magic it takes to get non-trivial iOS interfaces really snappy, even on more recent models.
may st. ignucius bless your servers!
Actually, maybe there's a much easier solution: Integrate Sparrow iphone app directly with Boxcar notification. Plug my boxcar account in and they can handle the rest.
I was seriously shocked to see that the iPhone's native client leaked that bad. 2 questions:
1) Is it possible for an app to leak less?
2) Is the 'leakage' already commonly exploited by firms for specific means? (proving you saw something etc.)

If anyone could help, that'd be awesome!
It seems that the primary method of disagreement used by only-JavaScript-in-the-browser advocates is as follows:

1. Talk about the "open web";
2. Tell you to compile to JavaScript.

I really don't understand why this is considered a reasonable response to people who just want to build things with the language they prefer, without being treated as second-class citizens.
Any contention on this topic should be solvable in the market. Companies and managers that believe in the 40 hour week fight it out with companies and managers who don't. (This decision is made by managers - though employees have to agree) Different people have different amounts to give at different stages in their life. Let the market decide which approach is more enlightened, and let people decide how much they want to work.

I guess none of you has ever set foot in a coffee shop in Italy. Compared to that Starbucks is the most inefficient place ever.
I'd like to have hard numbers to prove that, but the sheer fact that one espresso is about $1 in Italy, the cost off coffee is comparable and the cost of land is much higher than in the US, makes me think that Italian baristas are at least twice as efficient.
