probably not a good idea to comment authoritatively on a company you haven't worked with, but no, kernel management is part of rackspace's job. performance and monitoring is part of their job. they have an SLA and this is absolutely part of

on a separate application and server, yes, and it seems faster than apache/passenger, but it still suffers from the 'passenger choke' where touching tmp/restart.txt seems to pause all web traffic for 10-15 seconds, so we never considered it

wow. what really impresses me is mint isn't an engineering company - they're a marketing company that put some ajax on top of yodlee. yodlee's been around for over 10 years and they never built a brand or a community like mint. mint is now

I would refer the high-speed-rail types to James Kunstler's brilliant post 'financial crisis called off' where he reminds us... We blather about high speed rail, but you can't even get from Cleveland to Cincinnati on a regular train - and w

part of me can't believe this was such an epiphany for this guy. i've found the best way to screen candidates is to just ask them to sign up on project euler and work through at least three problems, in any language, and mail me the results

ok, here's what i like and dislike about living in argentina and starting up a consulting business and building a product on the side. first, yes, it's cheaper, and yes, the wine i buy is better 100 fold than the states, and yes, i would sa

You've never read Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. He writes eloquently about how we seem to believe that the only truly real people are those we see on the big screen and if by chance we come into contact with one, we often feel more alive...
