ShaneOG··on How we spent $30k in Firebase in less than 72 hours
My company was part of a partner acceleration program, however you can apply to be part of the Google Cloud for Startups program here[1], without needing to be in an accelerator.

ShaneOG··on How we spent $30k in Firebase in less than 72 hours
A current happy Google Cloud customer here, who also received the Startup credits. When you have credits on your account none of the alerts or budgets work (at least they didn't when I was using it). The only thing you could do is look at your figures daily and plan/scale based on the running total.

> Imagine.. RDS is literally the ONLY place where you can buy a 10 GB data multi-AZ replicated, snapshotted and managed postgresql.

Not true. I was looking for a hosted Postgres provider and discovered these two:

But... why?

ShaneOG··on Realistic alternatives to Apple computers
That review is from May, so it's for last year's version. This years has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card.

Although I expect the battery life to still not be up to the MBP level.

ShaneOG··on GNU Terry Pratchett
I know I have :)
ShaneOG··on Apple just told the world it has no idea who the Mac is for

ShaneOG··on Massive Dyn DNS outage
A lot of the bigger sites are very slow from Brazil today :( And SP is also suffering from a lack of power in some areas. Happy Friday!

Commodore 64, using Commodore BASIC - I was around 9 or 10 years old IIRC (which I don't!)
ShaneOG··on Ask HN: How do you encrypt your laptops?
I did not know that, but at least they can't get my data. The machine is costly, but my work is much more so!
ShaneOG··on Ask HN: How do you encrypt your laptops?
I use Mac OS X FileVault2, with a firmware password. It's incredibly easy to set up and should be good enough to protect my data from the majority of thieves.

Coupled with encrypted Time Machine backups and Arq[0] I feel relatively ok about losing my machine.

ShaneOG··on Ask HN: Would you watch Infrastructure/DevOps Screencasts?
I'm interested
ShaneOG··on Rack: Open-Source PaaS on AWS
Tbh I agree that as a descriptive name it works quite well.

However, it will muddy the waters for people trying to solve problems in future. For example, this tag on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rack

ShaneOG··on Rack: Open-Source PaaS on AWS
It seems naming things is still one of the hard things in Comp Sci: http://rack.github.io

ShaneOG··on How Carders Can Use EBay as a Virtual ATM
I store all my card details in 1Password and thus my card number is always pasted and not typed.

Is this really a signal? I've never had issues with this.

Is anyone running Arch on a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13"? I've seen conflicting reports of things working and not working, which is making me hesitant to try (I want to dual boot Max OS X)
