This starts touching on theology. The reasons you explained are one of the main reasons I am a fundamental believer in agnosticism. That is, I believe we see reality through a huma…

I think you're on to something here. I wonder if a gradual loss of empathy is a product of the evolution of a first world country or advanced economy? People die less, and without …

One would think this, but: https://www.behance.net/gallery/35437979/Velocipedia

Disclaimer: Though that's not hard to measure, I did not personally measure it. All I can attest to is that in terms of the macro level of productivity, it was a better experience.…

I had the privilege of working in this environment and I can vouch for Chris here. The design of the Wildbit space works exponentially better than any open office layout could ever…

Yeah. :/ It happened to be at the same time I was getting things configured to connect to a new VPN that I hadn't used before for the first time. Until about 7am today my home netw…

CSSDEVCONF removes $15 off of the price.

Though on one hand I'm inclined to agree with you regarding Nagios, on the other hand I disagree. What you're missing is the concept of developer empowerment. I am a sysadmin / ope…

I'm sorry I used a term you don't like -- let's get past that though -- What about if the customer you speak of is the DDoS mitigation service? Even without doing this though, if t…

The problem here isn't whether companies are using DDoS mitigation services, it's whether they have ISPs null routing them. The weak point here at the top tier ISPs, not necessaril…

Exactly. Sometimes I feel like we're playing a game where we see just how many different ways we can regurgitate old ideas in the style of Patrick Bateman (emotionless, preachy, as…

Class. I don't care if people think your style is too harsh. You're here setting a positive example of altruism, and genuinely trying to help out a complete stranger. Props.

I really wish this were able to be run internally on my own server without handing these guys the keys to my castle. I'd do it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately that's not the case.

I have reviewed for Packt (for free). It was not a bad experience, and the book is now available and getting great reviews ( http://www.amazon.com/Git-Version-everyone-Ravishankar-…
