AWS re:Invent[0] is taking place this week, so there are a lot of news and announcements.

It works better if you do it the other way around ;)

sa-east-1 gets the short straw again.

> The service does not support any i2 and r3 instance types in the sa-east-1 region.

It's working for me...

I'd recommend Neil Gaiman; and definitely read Good Omens, a book that Terry and Neil co-wrote.

From their Twitter[0]:

"We apologize for issues with our static website, we are working on resolution ASAP. Thank you for your patience"

IIRC iOS 8 performs MAC address randomization for just this reason.

Looking at this from a country outside of the US, it's almost as if US employment laws were created with lots of help from large corporations who wanted to treat their employees like workhorses rather than people.

Will this be US only?

Yes! I'm from Ireland and we have the same. I live in Brazil now and it has been heavily influenced by the US trend of streaky bacon :(

It's true. There are some more in-depth details (with graphics and PDFs) here: http://www.canmakers.co.uk/education

Using a disassembler to get the "source" (deadlist) assembly code rather than stepping through with a debugger. The portions of assembly code in the article are deadlists

This thread is bringing back a lot of memories :)

It is, until you start replacing the word "phone" with "pocket computer". Our smartphones are now computers with phone call making abilities, not phones with some computing abilities.

I feel your pain. I'm currently looking for mid-senior Ruby/Rails devs in SP and it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

The problem is that the current "solution" is to cache based on the URL, which breaks if the URL is not accessible, as in this instance.

The suggestion solves that issue by using hashes of the files, so it doesn't matter if they are loaded from a remote/CDN URL or from the same server, they will be considered cached by the browser (and loaded from cache) regardless once the hash matches.

Most likely, not very.

Do you honestly think someone who wants to steal a computer will use their own access card?

I immediately dropped everything to read this blog post. I have been waiting for 3 years! I am fascinated with the data and science behind human behaviour, and their blog posts were (now are) always really interesting.

The irony of the main SysAdminDay site showing DB connection errors at the moment!

I use a Macbook Air, sometimes connected to a Dell 24" monitor. My next laptop will be Macbook Pro Retina.

And for any OS X user (* BSD based sed)

  curl -s programmerexcuses.com | sed -n -e '/<a.*>/{s/<[^>]*>//g;' -e 'p' -e '}'

  git commit -m "$(curl -s programmerexcuses.com | sed -n -e '/<a.*>/{s/<[^>]*>//g;' -e 'p' -e '}')"

It's not that it might not be perfect, but the fact is that if the experiment was run with incorrect parameters the result might just be plain wrong.

I'd like to see Chef/Puppet/Ansible build/deploy scripts for the test boxes, and the same for the box that siege was running from, assuming it's not a personal laptop (and if it is, it shouldn't be).

Benchmarks are hard, and it's a lot easier to be confident about results if others can easily repeat the experiments.

The question should not be "Why?" but rather "Why not?"

Apple?

Ok, I'll bite. What's a "sarcastic mustache"?

I would be very surprised if this is how it works

Wow. This is an amazing achievement!

To be fair, "reinstall Windows" is oft-quoted as the best solution to a lot of Windows problems too.

What should happen due to this outage:

Adobe Management: Oh no, our users cannot work. Let's remove the requirement for our software to phone home just to open/work.

What will probably happen:

Adobe Management: Hmm, maybe let's try to make our servers more available?
