Honestly, it seems to me you gave up pretty easily there.

I don't understand this idea that you should build a metrics system from components rather than use one of the end-to-end projects out there like Zabbix. Can someone clue me in?

True, "Silence" is actually a book: http://www.amazon.com/Silence-Lectures-Writings-Anniversary-...

I think (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ and ヽ(´ー｀)ノ need to be declared as constants in all logging libraries and used accordingly.

The idea is that one would live in Venus' atmosphere, not on the surface.

What financial risk, exactly? There's no upside to this transaction . It's almost a straight donation save for the perks.

If only you could do this on EC2. >_<

Does anybody really use them as workstation operating systems? Also, they don't run anything desktop-oriented that you can't run on Linux.

I love some of the lower-level tech that came out of Solaris, but NeXt was about desktop user experience rather than server stuff.

What exactly does that have to do with the erosion of civil liberties in Canada?

Or Richard Branson could look at it like a cheap way of financing a return trip from space.

Why do you need 8 lines? You just need 5 lines, and an enormous piece of paper.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch. I should learn to read comments first.

You are suggesting 'roll your own auth,' though. Which is more difficult to get right than most people think.

There's a false equivalence fallacy the author commits here where he assumes that the effort required to get a useful number of websites that also have Google+ pages to commit to embedding a specific tag is equal to the effort required to create this Chrome plugin that phones home, or that either of those two tasks could be accomplished by the same people.

I'm imagining a preprocessor now that requires you to prefix all language keywords with their French equivalents in a larger font.

Not many panels. Payware that was abandoned in 2006.

I think Core Data did that back when it was EOF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Objects_Framework

It was a work for hire. He got paid in lunch.

This thing doesn't really offer me more than my Honda Insight already does built-in.

I'm going to get a ScanGuageII soon: http://www.scangauge.com/products/scangaugeii/

When iOS launched, it didn't even have native applications.

I agree with a number of these, also want to add:

Brian Eno, any of the Ambient series

Either of the Fripp and Eno albums

Oval

Windy and Carl

To my thinking, auth is hard and the complexities shouldn't be glossed over. And you don't want to bog a newbie down by making them understand what rainbow tables and replay attacks are. So it's better to skip that and circle back around later once they get some familiarity with web dev in general.

I don't understand this point of view. Isn't that the type of thing a new dev is very likely to get wrong and get burned by?

Not that integrating Devise when you're new to Rails is all that much fun either.

I use version control AND dropbox. Version control for... controlling versions, and Dropbox for sync and immediate recovery of all my work files should something bad happen.

Which did happen about two weeks ago. My laptop let the magic smoke out, and my deja dup backup wouldn't restore.

"During the initial recovery, some of our nodes ran out of disk space. It's unclear why this happened since our cluster was only operating at 67% utilization before the initial event, but it's believed this is related to the high load and old Java version. The elasticsearch team continues to investigate to understand the exact circumstances."

This doesn't pass the smell test for me. Not that I know tons about ElasticSearch, but couldn't disk space have been consumed by failed replication attempts?

For a while, using OpenJDK was the only way to get proper font smoothing on Linux in IntelliJ. It doesn't display any warnings anymore and works fine with OpenJDK now.

Zing? Not that that really stands a chance of becoming the new standard because of licensing costs.

Why not build it on older, unused hardware, then. It's not going to help to have to go through all the trouble of getting something going on ARM only to have to start over on x86, for example.

Why ever put your date of birth on a resume? It just opens you up to discrimination.

IntelliJ CE has been open source for quite some time now.
