Reserved instances are simply a pricing construct. You're paying upfront for up to 24/7 usage, but you're running on the same pool as the standard instance. Dedicated instances, on…

The R tutorial on codeschool.com is also really well-done, similar domain to matlab but not quite the same.

Patch was a competitor to Everyblock. EB pretty much pioneered this space.

Per another thread of discussion, apparently the rules of the GPL do not apply to the licensor, only the licensee. If MSNBC accepted OSS community contributions to the Everyblock c…

Thank you for the clarification. I've humbly been schooled in the nature of opensource copyright law. At any rate, I've started a petition to open up the source code and user-gener…

But this code is GPLV3. It's really curious how the source code became out-of-date. Isn't that a violation of the license?

The fact that this code is not current is extremely surprising, actually. It's GPLV3-licensed, so my somewhat uninformed expectation is that MSNBC would be obligated to open-source…

I do realize that the parts Everyblock codebase were released some time ago prior to the MSNBC acquisition: https://code.google.com/p/ebcode/ But the last update was June 2009, nea…

A recruiter phishing for hiring managers maybe? But I would suspect this is legit and totally above-board. This is part of what online communities are all about.

I'm still completely baffled that Dojo doesn't seem to get as much love as it should.

I love both Solr and ElasticSearch but the big missing comparison for me is: are there any books available? Or even comprehensive tutorials beyond the basics? I love ElasticSearch …

Thanks Jeremy, Shan and Mike. I'm continually blown away by the data journalism you're doing over at nytimes on the election. It's truly an inspiration.

Yup... https://status.github.com/

This is possibly the most important thing to happen to my frontend development workflow all year. Amazing contribution. Thank you.

Comic Sans also comes from a pre anti-aliasing era in personal computing. If you viewed it on a 640x480 display with no aliasing, it's actually slightly more readable than other fo…

MySQL is also apparently affected, according to the #mysql IRC channel.

This seems to be a widespread issue with Java and the leap second. Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook affected. Personally speaking, my pager just went off five times in the last hour. …

It uses backbone routers, so try something like: http://prose.io/#MyOrganization/my-repo Worked for me.

That's not really a productive criticism. Are there any specific issues you've had with Grails? Have you looked at it lately? It actually has a fairly thriving developer community.…

I don't work for websolr, but I do quite a bit of work with Apache Solr. I'd imagine Java integration is supported through the native Java client, http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj…
