I used VNC a few times to connect to a Mac build box ( I only used Linux professionally ) and ran into a lot of problems with artifacting ( even on a dedicated Gigabit LAN ) or more annoying the remote service would crash and the only way b

Just as a historical note, I meant to type C Star ( C\* ) but HN's formatting changed c\* into C. C\* is shorthand for Cassandra.

Knowing some of the FC people first hand, MongoDB did actually serve them fairly well for a substantial amount of time. Until they started hitting max limits, it didn't really make sense to move to c . Going straight to C or somethin

I am starting to hope for a PyPy 2.8 or a PyPy 3000 that removes the GIL. Will have to wait and see how STM plays out.

You guys have been hiring consecutively for the last 3 months and the rejection letter for two of those months is the same formulaic response. Perhaps you need to refine what exactly you're looking for?

Just separated from a company over some employment contract issues. Taking it easy for the month and working on my own stuff, still I would be open with working on any cool idea's for equity or better money. Quick background on me: p

This is nice to hear, I suppose. I just separated from a company due to failure to pay/contract term violations and been thinking the odds of me finding gainful employment would be pretty low or non-existent until late Jan. Still seem

Tend to agree, but to be fair whenever a major site/service ( Reddit, github, netflix etc ) goes down, it is inevitably posted.

This is perhaps the most elaborate "fuck you" to asnine interview questions. Fizzbuzz was a great acid test but now a days people who can't solve `a = 1+2; a == ?` know fizzbuz somehow.

Vbox's "api" is kind of an abomination. Vagrant succeeds because it parses sometimes non-machine friendly command line executable output.

That's too bad.

Taking a page from something I learned from MySQL replication tricks, have you thought about trying a master -> inner slaves -> slaves out peers? Where there's one inner slave per datacenter/region. I know atleast with 1.2.

I have a widget like this for AWS+Virtualbox, it sorts all instances across all regions into tag name groups, by ip, by region, and by instance type. Unfortunately I know it only works for Windows and linux at the moment and my company has

Just got a client off a container based provider and it wasn't too great an experience ( dramatically slow networking, unreliable file I/O ). Granted I could, and can continue to, say the same thing about virtualization but virtu

Funny memory, at a startup weekend in a team as the only technical resource. Had my headset on but wasn't listening to music... was somewhat amusing as everyone passed out C letter titles for an idea that wasn't even implemented. Took my

I am not in anyway affiliated with GS/Escape and have 0 influence on their operations, but given what I know of them and that it only replicates what several other API libs provide, this DMCA seems really odd or a mistake? From someone else

Just in context of the subject, I bet there is an app to measure how burned out you are on apps.

I've been thinking of switching from being a software engineer to DevOps, would this be a good association in doing that? While I enjoy coding, I've found that most really challenging backend positions are few & far between. DevOp's se

A decade earlier I was into DIY car performance. I had a Nissan 180sx that was at ~220WHP and slowly tuned/modified it until it was at 380-400WHP. The car could easily kill it's driver if they weren't careful because it was really damn f
