friism··on Docker for Mac and Windows Is Now Generally Available and Ready for Production
Client Hyper-V actually showed up in Windows 8 [1], but only recent versions of Windows 10 have Hyper-V with all the features needed by Docker for Windows.

friism··on Docker 1.12: Now with Built-In Orchestration
Take a look at containerd: https://github.com/docker/containerd
friism··on Docker for Mac Beta Review
That's not the case - there's only one virtual machine shared by all containers.
friism··on Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
Hey, this might be unrelated but we had a bug on the sign-up form. It should be fixed now.
friism··on Docker for Mac and Windows Beta
Sorry about that, the form is fixed now.
friism··on Why Don’t the Poor Rise Up?
You're right, but still funny that the author feels the need to invoke the Census Bureau to back up that piece of arithmetic.
friism··on Akamai’s State of the Internet: Q1 2015 Report
The report is available for download without sign-up on Akamai's community site: https://community.akamai.com/docs/DOC-2245
friism··on Visa Systems Issues
I'm glad that they're at least prioritizing H2A agricultural workers.
friism··on Ship Code Faster: Announcing GitHub Integration GA
If the build fails, it won't be deployed and no rollback will be necessary.

With automatic deployments, if you have metrics or monitoring and discover a problem with a deployment, you can use rollback to revert. Just like you would have done with a release created by git-pushing to Heroku.

friism··on EIZO Announces Monitor with 1920x1920 Resolution
Perfect for Instagram.
friism··on From Fusion to Octopart and Back
Reminds of Seymour Cray's response on being told that Apple Computer had just bought a Cray to help design the next Apple Macintosh, and Cray then commented that he had just bought a Macintosh to design the next Cray. - http://www.computer.org/portal/web/awards/seymourbio
friism··on Introducing Heroku Button
Right now buttons only work with source code hosted on GitHub (although the button can be added anywhere). We want to extend that to other source code hosting services, though.

The challenge is that we have to resolve the [app.json][1] file to generate the deploy UI.

friism··on Introducing ASP.NET vNext
> I wonder whether we will be seeing a .NET web server for mac and linux.

The Mono guys already [have such a server][1], although I'm really looking forward to be able to use the Microsoft one to run on Linux and Mono.

friism··on Amazon ELBs are vulnerable to Heartbleed
We've posted a full update on the blog: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2014/4/8/openssl_heartbleed...
friism··on Mono 3.2.7 is out
These 3rd party ones are pretty good and recent: http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:t...
friism··on Mono 3.2.7 is out
You can run OWIN apps self-hosted on Mono/*nix. Here's my write-up for doing that on Heroku: http://friism.com/running-owin-katana-apps-on-heroku
friism··on Mono 3.2.7 is out
I've created a Mono buildpack for Heroku that runs MVC amongst many other things: https://github.com/friism/heroku-buildpack-mono
friism··on Git Push Heroku Master: Now 40% Faster
It's true that this is a problem if you insist on serving your CDN assets a custom domain CNAME mapped to CloudFront (i.e. https://assets.mydomain.com/). It doesn't cost extra if you just use the default CloudFront distribution URL, i.e. https://d3vam04na8c92l.cloudfront.net/stylesheets/applicatio...

This is not entirely clear from the Heroku docs, I'll ping the maintainer for an update.

friism··on Git Push Heroku Master: Now 40% Faster
At Heroku we now [recommend using AWS CloudFront][1] to serve assets, backed by your app running on Heroku instead of with S3. It's a much simpler setup with less state and fewer moving parts - and builds are faster :-).

friism··on New APIs to release code on Heroku
Hey there, I work at Heroku - we'd love for you to try out these new APIs, but also feel free to [log a ticket][1] and we'll see if there's a way to help you get faster builds.

friism··on Web Framework Benchmarks - Round 8
Also note that those tests have tons of errors, so they're probably not representative.
friism··on Reform Government Surveillance
I feel the same way, and have also been hoping for internet companies to put a stake in the ground.

On the other hand, it frustrates me that the tipping point for how Snowden's legacy will be viewed is action by a set of corporations, and not action by elected officials, the media, or an informed public...

friism··on Microsoft and Xamarin partner
This is a nit-pick of mine, but Mono seems to be always at the bottom of this benchmark: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

If you could share details on Mono tuning for server workloads, It'd be very interested.

friism··on Heroku WebSockets Now in Public Beta
It looks like socket.io has a `RedisStore` that you can use on loadbalancing setups without sticky sessions (like Heroku): https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO/wiki/Configuring-Soc...
friism··on Is Microsoft The Right Technology For A Scalable Web-Based System?
Are you getting good performance? Mono is at the bottom of most of the framework comparison benchmarks: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/
friism··on Tiny $45 cubic mini-PC runs Android and Linux
No SATA though...
friism··on Where to host .NET applications?
I've got a buildpack working for running ASP.NET apps (including MVC, and also straight-up .NET apps) on Heroku, running on Mono and Linux: http://friism.com/running-net-on-heroku

You can even experiment with the new OWIN/Katana stuff if you like: http://friism.com/running-owin-katana-apps-on-heroku

friism··on ZeroMQ instead of HTTP, for internal services
Note that HTTP pipelining will let you have multiple outstanding HTTP requests on the same TCP connections, although it comes with some caveats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining
friism··on $99 ARM-based PC runs either Ubuntu or Android
Exactly.

What I'm looking for is a board with a reasonably fast CPU (preferably dual core), SATA and a a PCI-E or USB3 port for a fast 802.11n/ac wifi adapter. PogoPlug v4 is almost there, but the CPU is too slow to sustain more than ~40MB/s of I/O.
