so true. just reading your comment was enough to make me feel frustrated and anxious.

you can do this pretty easily with bittorrent sync

We use this at work and it's awesome. Solved a lot of big problems and a lot of little problems, like "works on my machine but not prod" and rebuilding your dev env when you switch machines. etc.

The one thing that became a problem was managing vmware (the plugin is a closed source one, so it was hard to debug any issue that came up with it - easily solved by writing our own open source one)

berkshelf makes this a breeze, fyi. I do it for all of my AWS instances

whats "old"? they're pushing 20 years now. that feels pretty ancient in internet time :)

I keep bouncing between "this is an excellently executed troll!" and "…does this actually work?!"

Is there anywhere I can go to actually see NASA's (or CSA or ESA)'s "Lessons Learned"?

I'd love to track how they've evolved different characteristics of spaceflight/rovers.

to improve my KSP game, obviously.

thats terrible. starting in $PWD is the first thing I encountered that I loved about tmux as a multiplexer vs iterm

And now know why it's taken him so long to write each book

when you're scaling any given variable, the stock solution is almost never good enough. you end up hitting all kinds of limits.

Love FTL. I can't remember the last time I loved a video game this much.

Thanks for clearing it up. I knew there are technical/logical answers to all of the points people are bringing up.

Oh wow. I was being tongue in cheek about us techies, but looks like Netflix beat me to it here. awesome!

if only we had a distributed group of people, all of whom with a vested interest in figuring this out, that could help us with doing speed tests in variety of configurations…

hahahaha.

good one.

As fellow Ottawans, I think we all really appreciate hearing that. We all benefit from a stronger tech community here.

low... a good rough base for freelancing should be triple whatever the salaried hourly rate equivalent would be (i.e. $80k/year => $40/hr, so you should be charging $120).

I do give a break if I'm charging in bulk (i.e. I have a really long term ongoing project with you and we negotiate a different rate).

you charge $56/hr in a daily rate? O_o

brilliant.

The BTC support we offer is through a 3rd party merchant gateway. As a shop-owner, you are simply accepting payments via BitPay (our partner) which converts the BTC into a currency you find acceptable and deposits it into your accounts.

no, but I dont care if it's up as long as its not down :)

which, of course, leaves me hanging if the job queue is just not running, but thats monitored with runit which will issue an error if the service fails to start.

I like this idea. its the push version of the traditional uptime monitoring pull mechanism (i.e. ping endpoints).

not sure I'm a fan of using this specifically for background jobs though, as we have airbrake and splunk and other tools that detect these failures cheaply.

Wait. Santa's not real?

So? Dont treat the automotive market the way you treat the tech market. single companies have a much, much lower affect on the market when it comes to cars.

So what you're telling us is that being a whistleblower and fleeing to Russia turns out to be a poor career move?

this is why on Galactica all of their computer systems were completely disconnected from each other.

I've wanted this for a while, but I'm betting licensing is going to get messy there.

I'd be happy with just a "watch random shows from this tv category".

seriously? this is what Intro is? how is it not a bigger deal?people get upset over the littlest Facebook changes, but something this big barely shows up?

at first I definitely thought this was related to the old gnu bug tracker.

it doesn't have to be a pos! :) http://www.shopify.com/pos

obviously biased, because I work at Shopify. but this is a sweet product, and it works with your online store for inventory tracking, reports, etc.
