I have been working through this book in rust, and I have to say, the book is a real joy. Extremely clear writing, very good pacing, and excellent explanations of technical topics. If you're at all interested you should buy this.

Core Intuition ( http://www.coreint.org/ ), is a really great podcast by two iOS/Mac developers (Daniel Jalkut of MarsEdit fame, and Manton Reece of tweetmarker). Daniel's shtick is that he's a punkass, but it's immediately apparent that bo

In what sense is there less lock in with Brightbox than with EC2? I've run EC2 images on other IaaS clouds, and it's easy to pull an image out with ec2-download-bundle.

Yeah. It's just a Xen VM. I do this every month or so. You just have to make sure that you have a kernel and modules you can boot the image with on your local Xen host. This is pretty easy, you can do it with whatever package manager your d
