I did my trip last year. 21k and not a booking (not even planes). My only advice is:
do not plan things that much.

Traveling is not a job. It is not about filling up a to do list. Of course there are specific things you want to see, but you should not turn your trip into a real-world travelling salesman problem. We all know it is NP-hard.

Travelling is about living experiences, meeting people that move you in some weird way. Be flexible. Be open. Forget travel agents. It is a life changing experience. Good luck everyone.
"Changing the language doesn't bring anything." -> This is because the largest contributor to code quality is the coder. C is already a "safe" language as opposed to assembly or even writing the opcodes yourself.

"You cannot reduce risk, you can only replace it with another" -> I just ask you to think about it, try to have an open mind about what I may imply. I'm sorry for this mysterious answer but this is typically a topic over which we could talk past each other. The first time I was told you I had the same reaction until I had the epiphany about what it really means.

No, the reason it's illegal is because it's a fraudulent use of insider knowledge.

No, It's more technically the inevitable harm it causes the client (which is a conflict of interest). However, logically, If there was value being added, this could be extracted absent harm to client. But since there is no fundamental value being added [1], this is impossible. And so at a logical level, its like statuatory rape. Its illegal because its deemed no good can come of it.

Just because something has no added value does not make it illegal.

True. But Nobody is arguing this. There is a correlation/causation fallacy to be mindful of. There is alot of overlap (correlation) but its not perfect (~causation). This does not rule out that where it <is> illegal (overlap) the cause is related to the value added/not issue.

[edits-- to respond/clarify per new comments above]

________

[1] Front running in the "true sense" is this: client wants to buy X amount of asset Z for at the market price. places order with dealer [with our without a limit P]. Dealer buys X (or a subset) of asset Z cheaper than P and sells at up to P, taking the difference as profit with zero net/residual risk in the underlying. If the dealer did not intervene, the client would be better off. The trade is only profitable for the dealer because it is risk-less, but it is risk-less only because he has <information> the client <gave> him. That info was "given" under the presumption that it would not be mis-used (ie, by front-running, etc). Since this info needs to be given (1) for <any> trades to happen; and (2) is inherently subject to this type of zero-sum abuse; it is historically unethical/illegal/etc for this type of front running to be persued by licensed BDs (or equivalents). This is distinct from market making (where risk is being taken), etc. and other legitimate forms or speculating, etc.

I think Apple & Microsoft both are trying to move to yearly or at least two year release cycle. Windows and Mac OS X upgrade prices otherwise does not make sense compared to prices for 4 year cycles.

Lower prices with shorter release cycle = same revenue.
It appears that you are deciding a priori which activities are value adding and which are not, categorising those you have deemed to not produce value as front-running, and then tracking back by asserting that front-running is not value adding. In reduced form: assuming (X is A) and (Y is not A) and (not A is B) -> (X is not B) and (Y is B). Thus, one is fitting the descriptive (traders and VCs forecast and try to beat the market) to the prescriptive (since traders do not add value but VCs do the former must be front-running while VCs...are doing something else).

Fortunately, you are not alone in this error [1]. Unfortunately, it is still irrational.

I'm not trying to start a theological war about grep/ack here, I'm just mentioning it in case someone hasn't heard about 'ack' before and they (like me) might find it extremely useful: http://betterthangrep.com

It's grep, just better. It highlights the selected text, it shows which files, and in what line the text was found (and uses vivid colors so you can distinguish them easily), ignores .git and .hg directories (among others, that shouldn't be searched) by default, you can tell it to search, for example for only `--cpp` or `--objc` or `--ruby` or `--text` files (with a flag, not a filename pattern), and many many other neat features that I'm sure grep has, but you have to remember and memorize them. ack has sensible defaults.

Why ack? http://betterthangrep.com/why-ack/

manpage: http://betterthangrep.com/documentation/

Oh, and ack is written in perl and doesn't require admin privileges to install.

Work for a year. Travel for a year.

At least at first, that will get you off the ground. I did a modified version where I spent the first five years after school working mostly full time, then started doing 3 month contracts once a year and travelling the rest of the time.

That works better, since you need to put in some time to bring your contract rate up to something where you can take most of the year off and still manage to put away some good savings even after travel expenses.

We're finally getting to the point where it's possible to work at full capacity from the road. I do that these days since I need to stay connected to run my business anyway, but I'd still recommend just saving a pile of cash and going out on the road with no distractions.

See you on the road!

I remember reading this last time it came through. The only thing I'd differ with is the RTW ticket. Don't do that.

I always book a single one-way flight to start my trip. Bangkok, Cape Town, Cartagena, etc. Just get to one end of a continent and plan on spending as much time as you need moving across it.

Dates on the calendar are the biggest source of unhappiness when you're on the road. There's nothing worse than having to leave a place you're really enjoying because you have a flight to catch two countries away next week. You'll never expect to spend six months in the place you end up spending six months in. If you book ahead of time you're guaranteed to have to either blow off your expensive ticket or miss out on what would have been the best part of your trip.

Which is a good reason to get one now. I have one (running FreeBSD and ZFS), and it has been great. I does what I ask of a homeserver: it runs silently and is pretty good at saturating a 1Gb connection, the RAM really helps the performance. All at a great price.

They're fast drives but in the past have had the highest failure rates and firmware problems. Anecdotally Samsung and Crucial drives are much more reliable, while the Intel drives are probably the best because of Intel's verification.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but "no".

Whether or not a particular software can be used in a commercial context has more to do with licensing than how "full version" it is. In fact, even Trial versions of softwares can often be used in a commercial context during the trial period.

Versus, say, the full version of VMware Player, which while full featured and having no trial period, is prohibited via license to be used commercially.
Use virtualization (or LXC containers) for ease of management and to better allocate complementary workloads according to the resources they require and to how redundant you need them to be.

Chances are your physical boxes will have one resource almost always 100% idle and having your workloads virtualized allows you to better use them.

Also, virtualization allows you to more easily fix problems - you just delete the box and rebuild it from a base image and the packages you need. Reimaging a physical box is a pain.

Obviously, if you are into HPC and very low-latency, you need physical hardware. You probably need some specialty networking hardware too and maybe less OS than most of us would like to have. But then we are no longer in the general purpose amd64 box world anymore.

I remember one instance where we were having some trouble with one batch-processing workload. The amd64 box we had for that was not enough, despite having much more memory and processing cores than its peers. I suggested we moved the workload to an almost abandoned Itanium box we had played with for some time. The HP machine crunched the workload more than 3 times as quickly. I noticed the working datasets could fit completely inside its (then) huge L3 cache (16MB, IIRC) but not in the 4MB of the amd64 machine, more or less eliminating the external memory bus penalties.
You must be doing some task that I've never used my servers for if you consider a dedicated Atom somehow vastly inferior to a virtualized "real CPU". My servers are never CPU bound. They are disk, memory, and I/O bound, in that order. I couldn't possibly overwork the CPU on any machine I have...web service is simply not a CPU-intensive task.

Besides that, Atom CPUs are quite fast for many kinds of tasks...sometimes faster than a virtualized "real CPU" for server workloads, like serving websites, databases, and email. My servers at Amazon often have "sluggish" periods throughout the day, despite them being quite low-load systems; it seems to be because the other servers on the same CPU are working harder. Shared resources can be a curse, though I usually don't mind.
Wow...how noobish from both sites. Any person with access to search engines can learn how to do a DNS poisoning in a day. I would have expected some better protection mechanisms from such big-name services.

Nah, there is just a huge problem with externalities (see my comment on this below). It's actually important to understand where fundamental value is created and where its not.

Not trying to start a war here either, but is it faster?
No. This is so their technicians can easily log into your servers and solve problems if you need them too. Lots of their customers are newbies so they sell technical help as a service.

Heh. That's one way to look at it, I suppose.

Virtual servers on Uptano are managed via the web interface and each includes a public IP address. Most ISPs do limit IPs per server. Also, our limits are higher than pretty much anyone needs per server.

I'm not sure where a GUI comes in handy here - it's not like there's any good GUI (in the traditional sense) tools for fiddling with webserver config.

Even were I to want one on a webserver on the localhost I'd probably just install webmin or something, which you can do equally well on a VM somewhere else.

Do you know of any C ports of ack? Ack is beautiful and productive, but nowhere near as fast as grep (orders of magnitude slower, in fact).

gfind . -type f -exec grep -i mbr {} \; >| /dev/null

People use servers for things other than hosting websites, and I've seen my fair share of web services that do push the CPU for significant amounts of time.

But sure, for 99% of all websites, CPU is not the issue.

There are two non technical differences that I think are worth knowing about. Both are good frameworks although Rails is probably quicker to get started with I suspect it may be harder to become really advanced in.

1) Stability vs Development Speed

The Rails (and it seems Ruby) attitude seems to be that fairly frequent compatibility breaking changes are OK. Bundler and a well managed Gemfile (and probably RVM too) allow you to progress at a slower rate on any Gems that haven't been updated.

The Django (and Python) world seems much more careful about not making breaking changes. In other comments this thread the slow deprecation of old Pythons in Django is mentioned. For Python itself Python 3 was I think regarded as the one chance to break things before locking down compatibility to not change very much going forwards.

2) Documentation

I find the Rails Documentation pretty poor at the details such as explaining exactly what all the valid options are and their effects. Links to the source are often given in the API docs but there are often so many layers of indirection to drill though to find what options are actually supported that the value is limited. There are plenty of examples (e.g. Railscasts) to copy and learn from to get you going on hundreds of different topics but you need these resources to guide you through the massive universe.

Django is more traditionally thoroughly documented but without the really quick 'get something running in 10 minutes' guides. I think once you get proficient you could just look up what you need and it is all there for you but there is quite a lot to learn at the start.

So in my view:
Rails - quick start, learn by examples, lean on package management systems heavily.
Django - slightly slower start, properly documented in the details, stable long term platforms.

I haven't tested it and I might be being unfair but I have a feeling that Django's experimental non-production-ready release may be comparable to other web framework's normal production releases in terms of stability.

Although obviously plug ins and other components would also need to be compatible too.
