It’s comforting to know that even people who work at AWS will sometimes forget about runaway cloudwatch charges. it's not just me!

As far as your backend design goes it really depends on your scaling needs and how much of a purist you want to be about keeping your dependencies open source. If I was just trying…

this would be useful....if i wrote tests, that is.

I was being facetious. It's pretty clear they're running Arch; it says so several times in the image.

Say, which distro is that in the first screenshot?

Beats have always been in that price range IIRC. They were always marketed as a luxury product, just like Apple's stuff. I think Skullcandy aim to be more approachable.

I don't play Starcraft 2 much, or video games in general, for that matter, but I do enjoy occasionally watching SC2 casts, mostly out of nostalgia for the original game which I enj…

"It’s not farfetched to say that sometime in the near future, Amazon’s largest income share will come from their own in house products rather than their online retail sales." Amazo…

The only time I willingly do that is when I'm browsing the Web while drunk, and something about the page's behavior or design annoys me, so I'll casually open up the inspector and …

It certainly could use a bit more flair, I think. I chose to avoid that because the goal was to just have something tangible ready by the end of a weekend. I threw the site togethe…

If I had just put some HTML files on a shared host I wouldn't have been able to learn Angular and Heroku fundamentals while building it ;)

I'm easily amused by domain hacks, as I suspect most people are. I currently own http://jules.codes and I'm not doing anything interesting with it.

run `zcat /proc/config.gz > ~/kernelconfig` (i believe that's the right filename for the average Gentoo kernel; haven't booted Gentoo in a long time) and you'll end up with a full …

Most of these I already have. I use GNU/Linux at home and it's what I'm most comfortable using, but at work I need OS X for compatibility with Adobe products. Any software that mak…

Getting a vape has been high on my list of priorities ever since I've become more invested in my health, which incidentally wasn't a concern until after I began smoking regularly.

Yes, that was more or less my point. I'm wary of analyses of addiction that try to conflate every survivor's experience into a single, monolithic thing. There are similarities, to …

No, I was completely sober for a few years after kicking all the hard stuff. I acquired a taste for marijuana relatively recently, and while I do smoke quite a bit nowadays, I don'…

As someone who struggled with cocaine, heroin and prescription opioid addictions throughout my teenage years, this resonates with me quite a bit, but I'm not sure if I agree with t…

No comment on the game as I haven't tried it yet, but the scroll hijacking on the homepage makes it kind of annoying to read the text, expand/collapse FAQ questions etc., especiall…

Not sure about MINIX 3, but I remember from Andy's book that MINIX in general has been widely used for production code, typically embedded systems.

i have a niche humor blog on tumblr that makes about 30$/mo from adsense ads. not bad considering i was doing it for free up until recently.

This is very cool - I just figured out how to shrink the top strip to 25px from its original 45px in about 5 minutes. Very refreshing compared to modifying Firefox.

I work in an open office and my coworkers asked me to take my mechanical home (brown switches). I think it all depends on how tolerant your coworkers are. Edit: if you're careful n…

I own the previous version and it's lovely, but the multimedia keys and volume wheel on this one might just be enough to convince me to update. Shame about the price tag.
