Agree. What is the point of using composer or any dependency manager if you check-in the vendor folder?

Focuses on food replacement cost of calories burnt, which makes very little sense since author at their own acknowledgement does not account for cost of maintenance on car or bike, or better health. If you're going to ignore all of tho

In a way, this is where it can help to have a developer day job with a salary or at least that mentality. Where commercial pressures and tight deadlines can light a fire under you to just get things done. In some cases these types of motiva

I second Mandrill. 12k free emails per month, $0.20 per thousand after that (and cheaper for very large volumes). This is for a shared IP address with other free tier users. You can add a dedicated IP to build just your own reputation for

Arg, I think I found a dead-end on mission 1. I had the heartbleed virus v1.2 and the mission called for v1.0 and so after installing v1.2, it no longer allows installation of an additional one or deleting the first one so now I am still s

I agree with both of these points. Also as someone else mentioned controlling how many ships to send out - I sent out my largest planet to capture a tiny one before I understood the mechanics - which brings up another point. To replenish a

Sweet, fun so far. I think the drag/drop background broke on reload for me in chrome? Can't seem to move map anymore. A little slower paced than expected, and a little labor intensive like farmville. Maybe some hotkeys to speed u

Unfortunately here in Louisville/Boulder Colorado, it's either Comcast or Century Link. I have tried both and done my own testing, and Comcast is still the best connection despite their price point. I could not agree more about l

These days I subscribe to training functional strength as described in this article (Rippitoe and stronglifts 5x5 inspired)- mainly for day-to-day injury prevention in normal motions like reaching for high and low cabinets, helping friends

Although, I guess there is nothing to stop me from running servers on Linode and continuing to use RS for Cloud Files/Akamai -- except for network speed of course. Linode can deploy to Dallas though, where I use RS so maybe the networ

Couldn't agree with this more. I cringe at laugh tracks that literally get set off after each line of dialogue in many exchanges, especially when it is not even a joke and not funny. Compared to that, SV is much much better in my opini

Rackspace cloud customer here… These Linode upgrades are very tempting to entice me to switch. I get I might not be their target market (small business with about $1000/month on IaaS spending) but there are a couple things preventing m

Yep, I was just hassling our billing SaaS provider about this, but then I looked into their SSL vendor heartbleed post, and their customers mention this in the comments: http://blog.digicert.com/2014/04/heartbleed-

What you probably want is to re-key your cert, do not revoke it. Revoking with some CA's (such as GoDaddy) means to essentially cancel the remainder of the valid date forever and requires purchasing a new cert to secure the same domain

Pretty much, except for the whole $79 additional cost of prime membership. =)

Yeah, this. The other thing the $.99 item with $5.99 shipping does is allow refund scams - you would of course be able to return this item, but only if you paid return shipping costs and then you only get refunded the $.99 item price meanin

I like the Rackspace cloud offering a lot too. We use it exclusively for our business. I see Rackspace as being in the middle of the spectrum if DO is at the bottom and AWS is at the top in terms of more features/higher price. Also the

I bought something from Target in this window with a credit card (Wells Fargo). I called them up to proactively report it stolen - the problem is they will immediately deactivate your current card and it takes 7-10 business days for the new

Thanks for the easy-to-understand take on the leader key. Not using the leader key is one of my known vim weaknesses I've been meaning to fix. I found your explanation and usage a great push into actually putting it in my .vimrc

One major thing no one ever seems to mention or realize about CFL bulbs is that if you read the fine print on the packaging, the life expectancy is based on leaving the bulb on for long periods of time like 3 hours per day continuous. They

The need to print in B&W is more about b&w laser vs color ink jets at the consumer level. Quality and TOC is so much better on a B&W laser than paying so much for color ink tanks if you do mostly info doc print outs.
