I run mine as a NAS, and the performance is pretty terrible. The portability is great though! I'm somewhat nomadic at the moment so it's great to have a 1TB NAS that I can pack in my laptop bag (1TB external 2.5" drive + rpi:

Because everything written in Ruby is junk? This project can be used by any system that uses a cron-like syntax for scheduling jobs, regardless of the languages and frameworks that system is built with.

I don't understand why web professionals are publishing their work in .docx format, whatever the standard of the writing.

We certainly don't use Heroku for the price. I've got a fair amount of experience running distributed apps on AWS and I have found that Heroku do provide a lot of value-added services on top (from deployment to database provisioni

We find that neither New Relic nor Analytics gives the full picture: some of our pages are heavily cached, others (e.g checkout processing) are computationally expensive, database heavy and communicate with other systems (e.g payment proces

That really depends on your app and your caching strategy. If you are doing something complex or memory intensive (or your app is poorly optimized), or if your users are highly engaged, it could be in the low tens of users! If you are doing

Woah! So sorry to be treading on your namespace! I did a google search for the 'Dynosaur' and didn't get any hits if I recall. We will put our heads together and come up for a new name for our project later today. No offense

We haven't benchmarked against other autoscalers or done any direct comparisons. Our main motivation was to write something that scaled as we scale manually (i.e. when we get a lot of traffic due to press hits etc, we scale up based on

Good point. I am on GSM in the US but also prefer an international phone.

Yes, but it's a 3 row keyboard. I upgraded from the G1 (5 row qwerty) to the G2 (4 row, numbers-on-the-qwerty-row) and it's next to useless. As a phone, I need to use the number line a lot. As a computer /terminal, I need to

We just spent days moving stuff away from Elasticache due to memcached limitations, and would love to have moved to managed Redis. We're an AWS partner, with the highest level support contract and if we'd known two weeks ago that

Mongo got a lot better about reusing disk space in v2.2, if you are deleting from a collection. Still no compression or document field name optimizations though.

With Digital Ocean you'd need to install a software firewall on the servers themselves, there is no API-configurable network-level firewall. I used 'ufw' which was quite easy to get started with (on Ubuntu), and replicated my

Zoneminder grinds my dual-core Atom to a halt. Try 'motion' for a simpler system (well, simple if you like config-file setup) with about 25% of the CPU usage. Plus, the viewing interface is just 'cd /motion; ls *avi&#x27

I can't even begin to calculate the amount of time I wasted on Eclipse. I hated it. I tried to use eclim, which kinda work, but started crashing vim (infrequently) which is worse than not having anything. At least once every two weeks (for

Switching between tabs in the editor takes > 1s (on a core i7 with 12GB). That is enough to make it almost useless for me. IntelliJ community edition is much snappier.

I don't get it. Perforce is ~$200/seat/year. IDEA at $500 seems like a no-brainer compared to limping on with Eclipse.

It looks like it installs a separate non-conflicting package called wine-compholio with the necessary patches, and leaves your current wine installed. I don't really have any current wine apps to test against, but you should be able to try

This is true, in the Ubuntu packages this is printed to the default log at /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log. It is also abundantly clear from the documentation. I struggle to understand how one could deploy a new datastore in production without

Luckily my RDS wasn't affected, but ELB merrily sent traffic to the affected zone for 30 minutes. (Either that or part of the ELB was in the affected zone and was not removed from rotation.) We pay a lot to stay multi-AZ and it seems Amazon

CINT is really rather silly as the main interface to ROOT. ROOT is awesome, and huge, and you do need to use C++ to take full advantage of it, but it is also accessible from Python which is a far more sensible language to use in a REPL or i
