It's amazing that people are surprised at all when a combination of proprietary media-playback system don't work as desired. No snark intended, I've just not ever had a good experience dealing with a single proprietary playback mechanism.

Yeah, and I'd take $20k/yr + a winning Powerball ticket.

People are not mocking app.net for not being free. They are mocking it for being a generally silly idea borne of nerd-rage against 'the man' err... Twitter... wait, what?

The only bump in service we had was ~30s of downtime when our multi-AZ RDS cut over to the failover instance. :) I think we lucked out a little bit...

Amazon.com does not run on the same EC2 that you and I use. It runs on a nearly identical system that is isolated and private to Amazon. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in entirely different physical locations.

This is what reserved instances are for. You can by low use reserved instances for disaster planning.

Yeah, my ~20 instances are okay. I think we had a hiccup with our (multi-az, whooo!) RDS though.

We do the same thing for the same reason. Luckily we were able to split off a lot of our other content serving (same content, not to canvas elements) to a CDN which is backed by our origin servers. It's a little crazy, but is the best we ca

Related: custom SSL for Cloudfront. It's a real show-stopper that I can't serve Cloudfront over SSL via a CNAME.

They're solidly useful for killing apps that don't play nicely with CPU/background services.

Your two complaints are that 1) your phone is slow and old, and 2) a specific app is poorly put together. Somehow, from this, your conclusion is that the entire Android ecosystem is broken/worthless/something. That's ridiculous, to put it m

Hi, I use your fork of ShiftIt. It's great. So, thanks! I keep meaning to spend some time making it a little more automatic ala XMonad/TylerWM. One of these days...

It's mind boggling that people treat being able to consume (fettered or not) media as a god-given right. The suggestion here is that our best option is to 'be terrible' to old media until they understand what it's like to be treated poorly?

Why do we tolerate this behavior from people in our 'community' (or anyone really)? It's comically childish and infuriating to see it get a pass because 'oh, that's just their thing'.

We went guns-blazing from .Net on physical Windows servers to Linux/Mono/EC2. Mono performance is okay -- we still run a lot of C# utility stuff on Linux with it, no problem (build on windows, push to s3, servers self-deploy). Forget about
