Go with a Lenovo as someone else recommended, or get an Asus G46VW; sadly twice your budget, but it's of amazing quality.
We use mongodb for the analytics as well yes. It's a less obvious choice there than for the CMS part, but it's a good enough fit, in-place updates can be really handy and we prefer not having 2 different databases.

We don't index custom fields and for queries where that would be required we do the actual querying with ElasticSearch, but for simple filters on a custom field or the like, Mongo does fine.
VMs are always an option, but I'm also an efficiency maniac, so running two OS's and the decrease in battery life that comes with that bothers me.

I guess the only way to combat this in fields where you aren't knowledgeable is to read many sources and synthesize your own conclusions? Alternately, you could accept that there are good and bad journalists, and trust some of them?

One month of no deploys seems pretty high for an organization that does upwards of a hundred deploys a day. 2 days seems far more reasonable for the organizational philosophy they're going for.
Is that a good example? It doesn't warn if the env isn't set.

Thanks for the response. That sounds like an awesome idea for a follow up post.
History is written by the winners. The Nazis as an organization committed atrocities, yes, and their leadership was responsible for that. To the millions of boots on the ground - in battles, not the relatively small number implicated in concentration camps - there wasn't good/evil. There were people we should shoot, and people we shouldn't. Blurring that line with tricks like those described puts non-combatants at risk, which is pretty evil.

Dropping a nuclear bomb on a civilian population is also pretty evil.
Adapting a legacy network to deal with growing pains is hard. Anyone who says different is probably lying, or hasn't administered a network outside of 'bedroom scale' previously.

Whilst everyone prefers to work with a blank canvas that is a rare opportunity, and one which still has constraints like budget limitations or "We need this by Wednesday!".

All vendors have their foibles. No vendor is perfect. Datasheets are rarely 100% accurate, behaviour fluctuates based on what code train/version you're running on devices. Network vendors are like everyone else - humans - so just like everyone else they break things occasionally too.

One of the best ways to mitigate this as demonstrated by some of the largest players is to have N+1 physical sites and to be able to control traffic distribution to each of them, including taking one entirely offline without your customers noticing that it's happened. It's also extremely hard to do when you start looking at how CAP theorem applies to your given application, and not just the infrastructure changes required to network it all together, but the application changes required to not have it just explode on you.

I believe that "all there is" that is observable could eventually be explained by science.

I have no reason to believe it. That is why I used the past tense, in fact. People often say "oh it's just X" where X has a lot of gaps and there is a tacit assumption they can and will be filled in some way that satisfies the question. I object to that. Often, what we calls physics today we often call fiction tomorrow. It even happens to Einstein and Hawking.

If philosophers can come up with a good explanation of qualia and consciousness etc

You have missed my point. It's not the explanation that I'm looking at. I'm looking at the subjective meaning a person finds in things. This is not a scientific question. If all there was to life is all things scientific I wouldn't care to be (or about being) alive.

But there is an understanding there that we can't model in physics or biology and may never. We can't model it in psychology to my satisfaction, a field meant to be on that very level. But in a subjective way, we do model it. We poke at it and get the answers we're talking about. It's so isolated to the inside that we find a lot more nuance in it than we have words to describe.
How much would it cost? And would I be able to transfer my Google number to my own setup (I have a really great vanity number and worked hard to get people to switch to it)? Also, would it let me do dial out with that number as well? How would the OS integration look like on iOS/Android? Could I get voicemail transcripts? Would setting this up use my "minutes" or "megabytes" on my mobile plan? If it's using megabytes how much would that be a per minute?

I am very happy with Google Voice so far, at least on an Android phone, but I from what I remember, iOS doesn't integrate with it as deeply. Also, I would love to be able to somehow ditch my "minutes" and only use the data connection for everything, but I am not sure if that's even possible today without carrying around a mobile hotspot.

Edit: also, GV gives me free text messaging. Can I replicate that with my own setup and how much will it cost? Do I have to use something like Twilio or Tropo for that and pay per message? What about MMS? Can I have those forwarded to my email?

If you choose to answer these, thanks in advance.

Edit 2: Looking at AT&T, they have decently priced data plans for things like tablets and gaming devices [1]. I understand that I can get a SIM card from them telling them I'll have a tablet on their network. Can I then buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple and do this type of setup you are talking about using SIP and something else for SMS and save money?

There is a great book out there called ' Against the Gods ' by Peter Bernstein. http://www.amazon.com/Against-Gods-Remarkable-Story-Risk/dp/...
It has the fantastic story of how a lot of mathematical computations are a product of the effort to quantify risk.
I'm not claiming that they should trust us. I'm only saying that it works both ways, and that we as business owners have a choice about whether to trust potential customers just as much as they have a choice about whether or not to trust us.

It might be anachronistic, but if a potential customer wants to begin a relationship with us with a lie, then of the two of us, I would think we have more reason to mistrust that individual than they have to mistrust us. Their mistrust is based on projecting bad behavior of other companies onto us whereas our mistrust is based on them actively beginning the relationship with a lie.

Of course, this decision may cost us some potential customers, but for now, that's something that we're willing to accept.

I should have been more clear - I meant for the phrases "what little empirical evidence I've seen" and "likely doesn't generalize to knowledge work" to indicate my lack of confidence in the little data I've seen. (Not to mention the fact that my entire post was just a question, together with links one discussion of a little bit of data.)

I'll take a look at your CDC links and see if they answer my question.

Incidentally, my apologies for not responding to your reply to me - I didn't notice it on Christmas afternoon and I just logged on today. I'll take a glance at what you wrote.

> Second, and related to the first -- this man did not act simply in reaction to his epiphany. He didn't simply swing the other way, as if to say "well now I'll be a jerk to everyone else to punish them." Instead, he continued to be generous and magnanimous, but he took responsibility for drawing and enforcing his own boundaries.

For a humorous example of the wrong way to act after this epiphany, see the 1942 Joe McDoakes short film "So You Think You're a Nervous Wreck".

For developers, what they need are good API documentations and code snippets that make sense. If you are going to show some sample, publish the whole thing.
I'm a little worried how these TLD's will be handled by some carriers. Is there any concern that there will be a fragmentation of the web by carriers or nations that will try to block access to the .gay or .sex or .xxx or similar TLD's?
Sure but isn't the blood connection here the major reason why we are even reading about this story?
Google doesn't make money on Google Voice. It serves the same purpose as GOOG-411 served. To receive and process a large number of voice samples (from voicemails) to improve their voice search products. There's probably some other pie-in-the-sky ideas for Google Voice, but that's the only one I know of.

(oh, I see you are with GitHub. Somehow I suspect you did not push for this downgrade.)

(followup to sounds: I'm not particularly pro cisco except that all-cisco lets you avoid interop problems. Since at least some of this is cisco, there's a good argument for all cisco.

I've actually used HP and Dell successfully for certain things, but only because I kept it as simple as possible.

In the past using other stuff was necessary at the high end, too, because cisco didn't provide 10GE very well, etc.

What I am against is cheaping out on your ~few aggregation switches, which I've seen other people do, when you're already spending good money on everything else. Maybe it's different once you get to Google or Facebook scale, but I've never been responsible for quite that many switches, and an extra $500-$1000 per 24 ports isn't going to kill you.

I actually prefer non-cisco substantially for routing and for security products.)
Well liquid soap does exist...

It's not just Ubuntu pushing Wayland, though. The Wayland project was started by a core X11 developer and seems to have the support of most X11 developers.
Good advice. That's close to what I've done all day. Lots of books too. It's been a good day.
Fox News exists because the other national broadcasters weren't serving half of the market. Not everyone is interested in getting the Democratic talking points of the day when they watch the news.

That's not to say Fox has a high quality broadcast. It doesn't. But it's no worse than CNN or CBS, and it's certainly better than MSNBC.
My mind is inclined to think that with the activity between ICE and the NYSE you're going to see either an uptick, or an outright explosion of developers writing software for trading commodities. Foreign Exchange trading is still the reigning king of developer friendly trading environments because of the nearly limitless platforms and systems for traders; stocks and commodities will soon join them (though there are already highly technical systems in place).

This last bit is based on second-hand experience: Forex traders pay good money for data in the form of dashboards and widgets. You don't have to write anything that allows the trader to actually make trades/open/close positions, but a personal friend took a few days off from his sys admin job to write a dashboard for the EUR/USD pair with technical analysis that can be published with one line of javascript.

It was licensed to a private client within a week for demoing purposes. He quit his job a few days after that and had sold 8 more licenses.

Great thread, actually. I'm curious myself, now that I chew on the question a bit.

The correct comeback to that would be to assert that such a demand is unnecessarily environmentally unfriendly since it encourages a usage that wastes more water. Green is very stylish, arguably more stylish than standard aesthetics.
Go back to the 'definitions' section. Dennett went by this (and similar formulations), and made a compelling argument. I would advise reading Quining Qualia if you are interested. I believe that is where he made the case so well. (You can probably find it on the web.)

The Chinese room is a frustrating argument, and I essentially agree with you on that.
Code changes are not the same as infrastructure changes.
Some of the best programmers I have met left higher paying jobs to do something that at least somewhat changes the world for better or helps people.

This is about the vertical within our horizontal discipline. Working at a marketing company will be very different than defense. Some people want to work with visually appealing things, some people will only be happy if their software helps people. Don't blame the CRUD (cleaver play on words though). If you are truly a developer and find the horizontal you love you will be glad to work on it's CRUD.
I imagine that as well, but it's easy to see that these are meaningfully different kinds of privacy at stake.
> Still, running both instances from a non-default HOME seems like sound advice.

Setting HOME to a new value means that ~/ will always be resolved to that value. I think that the far more likely result is that this will work as expected.

It fails because it's been designed by idiots, not because it's 'flat'
I'm so glad to see this post. I remember having a conversation with someone from Etsy at one point and they made an offhand comment about MongoDB having been a terrible idea with a hint that there was a longer story to it than we had time for. I've been curious about the story ever since.

Finally, some closure!
You mean a new Mac email client that isn't just a LaunchRock signup page & some tasteful Dribbble shots? Amazing :)
You're most welcome. :)
Your examples all have the content centered under a single column (which is a LOT of chrome), a flat design would have little to no margins.

DF (http://daringfireball.net/) even has site index which is another no no from a flat deign perspective.

Based on their feature list, it stores your email addresses and passwords encrypted on their servers, with your inky account password being the decryption key. The idea being that you can just login to your inky account on any computer and it loads all your email accounts.

Ask HN: Hacker approach to NON-tech news?
I'd like to be more informed about world news that actually matters in 2013. I'd like to waste as little time as possible sorting through the sensationalist stories, though I do want to stay aware of the headlines people are talking about. Any suggestions?
one of the networks sells with it as a selling point, or you can install the app. In London buses have decent bandwidth.
however there's no reason to believe 'qualia' aren't explainable

I think there is. 'Qualia' is, in my opinion, a useless term. Even if something is going on of that sort, many of the points in the common definitions distance it from science. The only connection with the outside world people seem to admit is that we are individually aware of it. I'm okay with the possibility that there is something removed from access like that, but I think something very different is going on, which we have a lot of misconceptions about.

A file named "secret_token.rb" looks to me like "ruby code to operate on secret tokens", just like a file called "sha256.rb" would be expected to compute hashes, not contain them.

Should have been called "secret_token.yml". Should live in the config, or even better, a "secret_config" top level directory, not a subdirectory.

Sure, GitHub is "heavily relied upon resource for the open source community" - but what is really the impact of their downtime?

How is email not cloud-enabled?
I understand they have a lot of nerd/hacker cred in and around the tech hotspots of the country, but GitHub is by no measure "big". The most recent number I could find puts them at 33 servers total. I've worked for non-tech companies that have that many as hot standbys.

One big recommendation I'd offer is to have a secondary network with as few moving pieces as possible (think a dumb unmanaged Netgear switch or two) to run things like heartbeats and DRBD over. That sort of thing should not be living on the same segment as your production traffic.
I would argue this is even worse for Django projects. Django secret keys are in the settings file by default, which definitely needs to be put under revision control.
Critical thinking (and reading and listening) is a state of mind. Its not so much disbelieving everything you hear, so much as looking at what is communicated as a set of data points and one of perhaps many conclusions.

I don't take credit for this insight, I believe I first heard it from Don Knuth when we were discussing a research paper. The process is to try to ascertain what is the data in the communication, which of the pieces of information were observed or came from unbiased sources. Next is to think about what data might be missing, so if you're reading a paper that says "all of the people in our study could explain complexity theory" what other things about those people might have been considered and weren't? Their course of study? Their interests? How they were chosen?

Once you have an idea of what data is present, and perhaps a guess at what isn't, look at the conclusion or assertion in the paper. One flag to look for is if some missing data that should have been available would materially change the conclusion. An example of this was watching a news story of a single mother of two who had been unemployed for over a year. The story concluded that unemployment benefits needed to be extended because people "like this" were out of work. And yet they never mentioned her job although they did mention where she lived. So a bit of web searching we can turn up other bits of information about this person. She was unemployed, had filed and lost several workmens compensation claims against her former employer, had no additional training or schooling past high school, and was terminated from her previous job under a cloud of poor accounting records keeping. Of course adding in all of the information to the news story would not have made her a sympathetic figure so it wasn't included. I don't doubt the news producer, if pressed, would simply call her "an example" of the problem rather than a specific problem.

So critical reading and listening begins with "What is this person trying to communicate?" and the second is "How hard or honest are they being in making their argument?"

Fair warning here, if you are in a conversation with someone and start probing around the data question they will get mad at you. (I won't, I'll just jump into my reasoning, but I have found that isn't the common response)

The risk of being a critical thinker/reader/listener is that you risk rampant cynicism. This is especially true around sources which have a long history of shading the data to make their point. If you are not careful you throw out good data. I find it is useful and fun to deconstruct a news story with my wife. As she and I think differently about things we always find questions the other person missed (not that we always agree that they are the right questions, but they do keep the discussion interesting)
Every time I've had traditional media coverage of a project I've worked on, I've made this resolution. I'm not at all ungrateful for the coverage - each time, it made a difference, and it's lovely to be noticed - but even Wired, which should be pretty good at this, got major details wrong. (To their credit, TechCrunch, RWW et al have always reported accurately.)

Journalism is really important, but it's rare to see it done well. I really like long-form journalism outlets like the New Yorker for this reason.
Warning half of the project owners/maintainers that this is a problem won't have a huge impact?
