This is a great callout. I think for a newcomer this is where loading an existing game (like Celeste...) and just changing sprites or updating logic gets you some of the non-built in features for free - but at that point you're more mo

It falls short on your 3d request, but for someone new to things I'd go down the pico-8 rabbit hole. There are some really spectacular (given the limitations) 3d games, but they're the exception. However, the IDE is built-in, it&#

Pairing A Patriot's History and A People's History makes for some interesting perspective. They don't really offer explicit points/counterpoints, but they certainly frame things differently over similar time periods

DevOps is a moving target right now, and a lot of great fundamentals are linked here already. I'd also recommend subscribing to, and reading old issues of: https://sreweekly.com/ http://www.devopsweekly.com&

I've got a 5 year old Leopard and a 1.5 year old Wild Dog that are perfectly satisfactory. I have a month old Oryx, and my sentiment follows the general comments - I'd probably spend just a little more to go Dell/Lenovo for t

If you did have an iTunes account, you were prime for an iPhone purchase. That demographic had a clean experience of buying a mobile device that was super-capable (someone could pretty much out-of-the-box sell you things, without having ask

Monetizing was Apple's success, but in the early iPhones, I'd argue it was a lot of carry over from iTunes. Apple forced you to have an Apple ID, and associated with the Apple ID meant they could seamlessly sell you things and cha

Not strictly related, but on your second point - http://www.libertypuzzles.com/ makes some really great puzzles that have very unique ("whimsy", iirc) pieces. I've gotten a few for my children and found that

Kiwi Crates (and Koala - haven't tired the older age targeting boxes) are excellent, our 4 and 5 year olds love them. The results don't have a lot of longevity, at least for the Kiwi crates, but they consume an afternoon+ and invo

I use a git hook that builds locally on commits to master (with some cleaning just in case I was testing weird things from non-master). I host on s3, but I don't think the s3 transfer vs github push is of great consequence here.

This is great supplemental data, much appreciated!

Lots of people are already using it, so it has familiarity (I was thinking more than pgbouncer, pure conjecture though). I think if you wanted to have the simplest possible solution, pgbouncer and postgresql-specific replication mechanism w

This seems robust, but feels like more moving parts than are necessary. I feel like HAProxy with PostgreSQL + Bucardo (multi-master + at least one slave) would achieve this, and net you fewer moving parts. Under what circumstances does this

Packer is great for generating AMIs, particularly if you're already using some form of config mgmt. It will let you tie in your existing puppet/chef/salt/ansible/shell/etc. and output amis based on your config.

This got me; often you want clock_timestamp() or timeofday(). I wrote about it, too - http://imperialwicket.com/postgresql-getting-now-in-function...

ELK and others have been mentioned and are great tools, but if you want a more simple solution within the Sql realm postgresql with table partitions works well for that particular problem. I agree with many comments that this isn't ide

Since logstash was already mentioned, it's worth putting https://github.com/elasticsearch/logstash-forwarder here, as the logstash team built it as a solution for logstash-type needs on systems that may not be abl

I made a data star supporting weather/water sensor data in postgresql that heavily relied on table partitions for handling performance [1]. We had it on pretty weak machines, replicated with bucardo, and never had any issues. It worked

That's a meaningful data point, and impressive! Nonetheless, I think Opera is exceptional for a few reasons and for a smaller dev, there's little practicality to J2ME. It's much more difficult to charge for or in your apps, a

Another huge challenge with J2ME application development is the marketplace options. Most of these are carrier controlled, and you must pass certification tests per carrier, per device in order to make your application available. While some

This isn't helpful. It's a perfectly valid question that even provides insight into some possible candidates. The candidates might not be the best options, but they commonly serve this purpose. What is it about RabbitMQ or Redis d

It does come apart (you can buy keys with key tools in accessories). Or you could get the ultimate with blank keys.

This is great, particularly based on some of the feedback in the comments. The diagrams seem differ from the recipes in a few places, I assume these are hardcoded at this stage? Once you get things in order for batch size conversions and cl

This is a pretty old article, and not much seems to have happened in LoggerFS development. Maybe log shippers aren't so bad after all?
