Why would OpsWorks' choice of configuration and deployment management software affect your own choice, unless you want some sort of hybrid?

I think this will be a boon to AWS users who are currently deploying manually, but I don't think very many people who already use deployment/config management software will want to switch and rely on AWS.

We also decided to use Puppet, but I'm afraid this could generally change the configuration management world towards Chef.
That's what I figured. It seems odd that they'd be enforcing that approach from the start, though

The lack of VPC support and inability to configure custom security groups would prevent me from using it for right now. It seems like a good alternative to PaaS out there though, and I'm sure it will be rounded out with more features in the coming months.

(Note: I wouldn't see us using it in the near future anyway, since we already manage our machines on AWS with Puppet.)

OK, here's the expanded text for my comment (I didn't "show something" or disagree/agree -- I just provided reference):

No, I absolutely agree that would be a sensible and possible option, and I've read that the Swedish police have done it before in other recent cases.

I've not heard any compelling explanations why this hasn't been attempted, though IMO, Assange would be a fool to agree to it -- guilty or innocent.

On the other hand, there's little doubt that the attempted extradition procedure has correctly followed current UK law: it went all the way to the Supreme Court, and he was represented by absolutely top-class lawyers. So Sweden has the right to do what they're doing.

People have been extradited from the UK on 'European Arrest Warrants' for crimes such as drink-driving and theft of a piglet, with no prima facie evidence required.
Previously been in your position. I chose Chef.

I think you shouldn't worry, I wouldn't be surprised if they will support BOTH Chef and Puppet in the future - it's their best interest to support both.
I mostly agree with you, but I think their will be some confusion until we work this out. I'm not sure what Bret Victors refers to his work, but I found the similarities between his work and Chris's thesis to be very striking even though I'm sure they are independent. Perhaps we can harmonize or at least figure out what the key messages are to avoid confusion.

I think you want to provide feedback for each discrete or continuous action by the user. This is quite easy if we are relying on structured editing, but much harder for free form text. My current policy is to re-execute memoization units after each keystroke, though certain syntax and type errors can prevent the executed expression tree from changing (but then the feedback is a syntax/type error!). Getting live feedback also requires toleration to transient syntax/semantic/and execution errors, and to be fairly efficient. In this case, we should tolerate and react to '1' and '10', even if they lead to a program in a weird state (e.g., x - N, where N should be > 100), but you still want to show some kind of change. And this is where live programming is very different: the steady frame that we are viewing while editing should always CHANGE when we edit, meaning it should be focused on some execution result of the code being editing. Doing something without immediate feedback is being a sad panda.

That argument works for anything, as long as you can convince the browser vendors to implement support for it and provide it as an api. So I would argue that's much closer to the definition of cherry picking an example.
Virtual numbers to kill international call charges 
VIR2SIM extends any existing SIM-card with multiple foreign virtual phone numbers in seconds. The purpose of VIR2SIM is to offer an easy-to-use service for receiving calls from relatives, friends or business-partners from abroad. Virtual number ensures a local call for a calling party, meaning no long distance charge. The service doesn’t require any additional hardware, complicated registrations, agreements or ID authentications. Connect up to 20 numbers to any SIM-card within seconds – no matter where you are, using website or mobile app.

VIR2SIM users are able to receive incoming calls, place outbound callback from virtual number, connect and manage multiple numbers, browse calls’ history, import contacts, easily forward virtual numbers to another mobile or landline phone number with a single click. All functions are available on desktop version and on Android and iOS apps. Currently the service allows to connect virtual numbers from various countries including Russia, USA, UK, Ukraine, Austria, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, FInland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden and others, with more to come.
There's a lot of data in there. Some of it is going to be interesting. Some might even be useful!
There's a vanilla Chef repo you can clone to store cookbooks, roles, and data bags in source control [0].

For testing on local VMs there's Opscode's bento [1], which automates creating Vagrant baseboxes and running recipes. You can specify using Chef Solo to do this, which speeds up testing significantly as it removes chatting to remote Chef or Hosted Chef servers.

All of the most populous, productive area of China are concentrated along the coast and around the four main inland cities: over 3/4s of Chinese GDP comes from these, which cover relatively little area. China might be less vulnerable than the USSR was to targetted nuclear strikes, but I doubt it is less so than the US, and I doubt Chinese leadership believe China would have the advantage against the US if a military conflict turned nuclear.

The demo about the vm+server startup time is interesting, but I am glad to know about the way they use Nginx to proxy the request twice to do the provisioning of the vm+server.

I think I disagree with your definition of "edit". Perhaps this comes down to "chunking" in human perception and action. When I type 100, I don't consciously instruct my fingers to type each character, what I enact and perceive is the number "100". From this perspective, it seems natural for the programmer to control what an edit is.

I've heard VI users talk about edits in terms of breathing. You hit 'w' (or whatever it is they do), type in your edit, then hit escape when you're done. They describe this as natural in terms of breathing rhythm.

Of course in a performance context there is a more concrete requirement that edits need to be timed to happen in a certain way, and everything that happens it part of the output, so you want complete control over what gets interpreted when.. The temporal relationship between programming and output is different from the debugging case which you are more interested in. Both cases are concerned with liveness, but the constraints are different.

> It's a lot more useful to compare defense spending to the budget, not GDP

Different types of government will lead to the same expenditures being handled within the government's budget and not. US budget/GDP is low, so using that ratio instead makes it look misleadingly high (since you get to 4x it).

budget/GDP ratio examples: Cuba 86.5%, France 55.7%, UK 50.9%, US 23.6%, China 23.0%, India 17.5%

> US spent more than the next 13 highest spending nations combined

If you're comparing how countries allocate their resources, you divide their absolute numbers by the amount of resources they have (debt-to-GDP, etc).

By example: the US produced 46,500,000 tonnes of salt in 2006, and France 7,000,000 tonnes. US salt epidemic! But that salt production ratio is 6.64, and their 2006 GDP ratio is 5.837.

Citation?
Well, it is the way to that ultimate state, and this intermediate state is very useful.

btw, it is not about words or terminology, it is about what those words supposed to refer to.)

edit: lets make it clear.

Buddha taught the cause of suffering (four noble truths) and the way out (eight-fold path) which could be considered as an ultimate CBT.)

It is very important that Buddha taught the way, not the goal. He just claimed that he have reached the that ultimate state.

Zen as a teaching is based on Buddha's (which in turn were based on Upanishads and his own personal insights, obtained through deliberate practice).

So, Zen is also teaching of the way, not of the goal. It is even debatable if the goal is reachable by ordinary person, but it is obvious, at least for educated people, that the way is the right one.

There are countless examples in all imaginable cultures. Famous "Know thyself, conquer thyself" is the same idea.

my principal app is an Imgur(image hosting) Gallery viewer so I'd say mostly young people that do a good usage of social networks & media so people that usually "keep up with the technology".

In fact my usage statistics are the following:

Android 4.0.3 - 4.0.4
29.55%

Android 4.1
28.99%

Android 2.3.3 - 2.3.7
28.37%

while for the rest of the app in the entertainment category the is the following:

Android 4.0.3 - 4.0.4
29.76%

Android 4.1
15.31%

Android 2.3.3 - 2.3.7
40.07%

you can really see a difference but 2.x is still quite strong everywhere so it's usually worth to have some kind of support, even if the app doesn't run greatly users will generally acknowledge that they have a crappy device and not complain, for instance I' d say that 100% of support requests are from users with high end devices.

hope this helps

I think the big advantage here is really just how much you just get out of the box without sacrificing flexibility -- if you're deploying on AWS in the first place. This seems like it would also save us from writing a bunch of management scripts (around scaling, etc) which would be tied to AWS anyway (read: no inherent disadvantage since any solution in-house or not would require the AWS platform). I'm always looking for ways for us to reduce our code/services footprint and this would seem to do so without a huge amount of vendor lock-in.

There was a Chinese general (Zhu Chenghu) who has made several controversial statements to this end, including that initiating nuclear war would be acceptable in case of US intrusion in Taiwan (still considered by most mainland Chinese as a Chinese possession).

If it's not interesting I don't respond. If it's interesting I check out the web site and filter out any hipster shops, open floor plans, mandatory pair programming, Microsoft stuff, frat shops, body shops, H1-B shops, etc, etc. Then I look at pictures of people posted on those sites. Do I fit the demographic of the company? Am I going to be the odd person because no one there is over 20? Then I consider if the place would pay more than my current job. I check several salary sources, read the negative reviews, etc.

If its a big company, I read about the executive management and try to look them up on LinkedIn. If its a small company, I read their management bio pages and look them up on LinkedIn. I consider if any of the owners/founders were actually ever developers or know anything about software. Do the founders seem douchey or dumb? I try to find youtube interviews to get a feel of their personality and values. Finally, I give up and don't respond. The truth is I don't want to work at your job. I worked there or someplace like it a decade ago and I'm not going back.

Recruiters who want to know why or why not someone might respond need to consider if their opportunity is really a good fit for the person before sending it. Its really not my dream to be a JEE/JSP developer for acme whatever company. And I don't refer anyone because everyone I know likes their job or lives somewhere else.
