> accents, dialects, and degeneration and creolization. There are just as many accents and dialects of English in the Americas as there are in Britain. Even your term "creolization" comes from Louisiana. It's a matter of perspective and something that all language learners will have the face, the difference between 'standard' English/Spanish/German and regional variations both within it's originating country and from abroad.

I've only recently started using it but if you're looking for something similar but cross platform and open source I recommend: https://boostnote.io

All the core features you would needs from a notes app for developers. It even has iOS/Android apps.

Very well written article with some good advice. We found very early on the need for multiple AWS accounts and managing varying levels of access to all of them has been challenging.

I also recommend looking into using SAML with your own login provider, if you have one, to assume individual roles in AWS accounts.

I think what was meant was that a winning solution to Amazon's problem is probably worth a lot more to them than $25000 to them. Eg. cents saved picking item would rack up to millions saved annually. Amazon bought Kiva for $775 million.[1] a top rank robotic picking and packing solution would be worth as much too.

Quite nicely iTerm2 will catch when you attempt to paste new line characters and warn you about it. Mostly it's useful when I've accidentally copied an extra line, but protecting against malicious abuse is a useful plus.

> This is not a company where micro-aggressions will fly. This is a company where the first bedrock rule is that nobody gets interrupted, and the second is that everyone gets their say.

If you take the whole quote from the article, it doesn't seem like it would stifle honest conversation at all, if anything micro-aggressions would reduce open communication by making people believe their input is valid or wont be heard.

We examined both Kato and Slack for internal use at our company a while ago. I personally preferred Kato's split pane chat windows and handling of multiple team (which Slack still doesn't do right). We also thought it was more competitively priced. After we had made a case internally for team chat, we started a full department trial of Slack, at which point point our users became fairly enamoured with it, and probably unwilling to uproot and change to a new service.

I have a feeling this matches the world at large for Slack. By implementing a very personable interface users seem to grow a positive emotional connection to the service. This reflects in their usage which is also positive and casual, encouraged by features like custom emoji. All this comes together into not the most practical and functional features on paper, but definitely the most enrapturing user experience.

Let's say you had 10 or so APIs that you wanted to monetise. You might want to bundle these up into groups that you sell. You might want institute different pricing tiers for different rates. To have to bundle all that into each application (along with communicating things like rate usage between them) might not be very appealing.

I have used Apigee a bit. Amazon's product does seem to me a direct competitor to Apigee. For anyone already on Amazon's infrastructure it's a logical step to use another of their products than buy a service from a third party provider. Amazon's pay-as-you-go service is also very appealing as you might pay for a lot of features you don't use with a provider like Apigee.

We use Google+ as our company's internal social network. This is helpful because it maintains separation between personal social media and professional. Communities can be a great way to organise social event or share common knowledge.

Circles let you differentiate the content you share with work friends and wider colleagues.

I have absolutely no interest in using G+ for my personal life but it's a very handy tool for internal communication in an organisation.

Anything from shrturl.co appears to be blocked at work for me. So I guess we already don't trust it.

Where did you get that flash drive of Linux?

Hence the 'See all friends using the Bang with Friends app' incident.

The actual BBC article linked on boingboing is less editorialised and contains the actual quote: "In the most serious crimes [such as] child abduction communications data... is absolutely vital. I love watching, as I probably should stop telling people, crime dramas on the television. There's hardly a crime drama where a crime is solved without using the data of a mobile communications device."

While I strongly oppose any warrant-less surveillance bills. I can agree with the statement. Nothing makes me a sympathise with the police more than crime dramas. So much to the point where I feel some American TV procedurals are almost propagandist and a lot of people assume the police have more rights than they do because of TV. But this is reality and things aren't as black and white as that.
