Our company is staffing up a full IT department right now. We don't even look at the education section. Oh? You went to school for 4 years for CS? Good for you. Show me what you've built/what you've d…

Is the distance between him and your team really going to be that disruptive if he/she needed to work from another country? Seriously people; this is Hacker News. We build things on The Internet. Sinc…

Goodbye cookieless IP-based metrics.

Great, fabulous, we'll stop airliner attacks. Does that stop anyone from attacking large, concentrated TSA security lines before checkpoints? Welcome to diminishing returns.

Surepayroll was acquired by Paychecx (and their customer service was pretty bad before they were acquired). Try ZenPayroll. Nothing but good things to say: https://zenpayroll.com/ …

Yes. I would trade 20-30% of my income to have more no-strings days off.

Want me to write a browser extension that submits such quotes to the Internet Archive in their WARC format? :)

Can't wait for another price decline in S3 (or even Glacier).
comment
S3 costs are internal costs within their datacenter; Cloudfront costs start to assume costs possibly outside of their control (i.e. vendors they have to pay for their edge locations).
comment
We've had the opposite experience. Akamai's NetStorage is a pain in the ass to work with vs S3. Akamai's CDN replicates much slower than Cloudfront (we've seen distribution/caching complete in secon…

Right. So why wouldn't I just pay the upfront fee and colo it myself without having to pay Amazon the upfront fee and the recurring hourly charge? Sure, you could argue I would have to pay to colo i…

As a VP of Operations trying to hire 3 support engineers right now, this post is spot on. I'm paying you what I think you're worth, and that's a stab in the dark based on what other support engineers …
