Wow! Glad that I am not the only one that constantly thinks about this when I am on an airplane.

That is why I stopped using Linode. It wasn't the fact they got hacked, as much as they minimized and lied about the extent of it.

I am a big JIRA fan, but lately they have dumbed it down to be very much like Trello. So I hope this gives me old JIRA back, built-in. Currently I have the "classic" workflow as an export that I can import. I wonder if they will try to push Trello users to Atlassian hosted JIRA Software with the simple workflow, or if they will combine the two like they did with Bitbucket and Stash.

This is my plan! What kind/size of boats are you looking at?

This was a fun read for me for much of the same reason. Alliance teleconferencing 0-700-456-1000 may not be there anymore, but there are still some old numbers that work. Here's a loop: 513-241-1018 - you gotta find the other end :)

440 Hz is also the standard telephone dial tone in the US.

I have high hopes currently for Plasma Mobile - https://plasma-mobile.org/

This is awesome, thank you! PHP may have started out as a "set of tools", but it evolved into a complete language. Like any programming language, you can write sloppy code or elegant code in PHP - with or without a framework.

Languages are foundations on which frameworks and design patterns can be built to solve common problems. The trap that we fall into is trying to fit all of our problems into those common ones that frameworks and design patterns solve. This leaves potential edge cases that become bigger problems.

PHP can be has hacky or as elegant as you make it. The versatility of that makes it a great utility. It also makes it very approachable. This is a big contributor to why it runs a big part of the web.

The place to start for Netflix would be some real account recovery. If your account is compromised and the email address changed, they set you up with a new one instead of recovering the existing one. They also don't credit you for any time remaining on your previous subscription.

Side topic: Have you ever done this just for fun on an old system or vm? It actually stops pretty early on once it starts into /dev - removing everything actually takes a little more work.

*weren't - I meant that Apple computers _weren't_ completely dysfunctional..

You can't compare the ST and C64.

C64's competition were the Atari 400, 800, XL and XE lines. Most games came out for both platforms. Atari's player missle system was both an advantage and a disadvantage in some respects.

The ST and Amiga were competitors but completely different platforms than their respective predecessors.

When you're talking Mac - the Apple II would have been the contemporary of the C64 and Atari 8-bit lines. There were games on Apple computers as well, but I suspect not as many. They were completely dysfunctional and the Apple IIgs was a really fun machine.

I use both of these services and Flowroute https://www.flowroute.com/pricing/pricing-sms/- Flowroute's pricing is really competitive.

Nexmo has great analytics that show failures. Plivo will just fail and not log it and not return a failure, so I'm migrating away from them.

It did start in the mid-90s with people buying and renovating townhomes on Milton and Liberty Hill. I'm sure the riots slowed it down, but the article does inaccurately assert the speed of the change as well as where it came from. A lot of the residential turn-around wasn't corporate sponsored.

Facebook gets an A? All the egregious permissions say "Not analyzed yet". In cases where permissions aren't analyzed the grade should at least be marked as tentative / incomplete.

Twilio is $0.0075 (.75 cents) per message, Plivo is $0.0065 (.65 cents) per message

...and I see many rate centers at .45 cents in Plivo

I generally use hyphens instead of subdomains for SSL certificate purpose and go general-to-specific in the order:

datacenter-application-environment-index.domain.com

example:

ord-web-prod-01.domain.com

For clouds I use the cloud and zone/region:

rs-ord-web-prod-01.domain.com aws-east1-app-stg-01.domain.com

Swappiness is not just about swapping. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10678 <- This is a great article on Linux swap and how it works. It will change your life.

The article points out that good managers don't make decisions based on politics. What I have seen is not only do bad managers make decisions based on politics but also ego. I have seen ego destroy startups and big companies alike. Many tech companies interview managers purely from a tech perspective and do not effectively drill down into the management side.

A good interviewer can get a sense for someone's ego vs. assertiveness pretty easily, but so many interviewers are looking at experience and skillset over character, personality and style. Experience and skill set are important but the other aspects are often overlooked. As an example, a hands-on development manager needs to not only be screened for the development chops but also if they are mature enough to handle the decisions that need to be made in that management role.

Their cache engine will love you for this!

I use ksplice to run my own OS & kernel on Digital Ocean, you don't have to stick with their templates.
