It depends on the application(s) you wish to run on AWS. If your EC2 instance runs an HTTP server that is backed by an external database like RDS, your I/O bottlenecks is not the EC2 instance's disk. The article points out rather successful

We configure our production servers and push new releases there with Puppet. I like Puppet: its fail-safe and reliable. There is, however, one thing I don't fancy in it. Puppet does not support insecure client–master communication. Requirin

The article quite well describes some of the valuable features of a good login UI. The login page is (often) the first place a user encounter your site. If that page creates a sense of repulsion in the user or forces him to struggle, the us

Jeff, are there any plans to support mailbox provisioning? At the moment I'm using Rackspace's REST API to create a mailbox for our new customers. I like their API, but I don't like the fact that we have to communicate with their IMAP and S

I have been practicing ashtanga yoga 4-6 times a week for several years now. I must say that it suits well to a programmer. Even though I sit by the desk about 8 hours a day, I never have any aches or pains. The daily practice kind of moves

I remember when I purchased a shareware version of the first Doom. I ordered it by sending a post card to a Finnish game retailer. After a week or two, I received a few diskettes. I was thrilled: a new game was just delivered to my home!

Wave is built with GWT ( http://www.techworld.com.au/article/305043/aussie_devs_make_... ), which has its own JavaScript compiler. But do GWT and Closure use the same technology, that I don't know.

I'd introduce another perspective on rejection: having a rejective state of mind significantly reduces one's ability to analyse the situation at hand. It's about prejudices. We all hold a large amount of prejudices even though we would cons
