  1. Re:GitHub as an example on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Push To Production? · · Score: 1

    At bitly we follow a process very similar to github. One difference though is that we structure things internally as smaller services, and as a result we do deploys to smaller groups of servers at a time. Deploys for us are the one way we do state changes on a machine. This means that it encompasses more than just the code we write, it's also all of our configuration, system installs, crontabs, monitoring, you name it.

    Deploys are done through an internal web based system, and are run by nearly everyone that commits to our repository (designer, developer, or ops) and can be run at any time day or night. We have put a lot of effort into being able to do zero downtime deploys for almost all of our systems, and as a result we've pushed 8156 deploys in the past 12 months.

    ... danger ... ?

    Do we have people on the moon that I don't know about? What is this danger that they speak of.

    heh, I was wondering if that was sarcasim. =) Well it would have been posted anyway... just not as a reply to your post.

    It is sad though to see how little the most important document of our government matters any more. And I still can't get over the fact that it's also the simplest and easiest to understand. No means NO. (duh)

    oh well, sooner or later as someone else mentioned it'll be time to put the second amendment to the test and start this whole government over again. I just pray it's after my time.

    ummm we have one. It was important enough to be the FIRST Amendment, and also important enough to be written in plain english. It goes like this

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    I'm 23 and I feel the same way, so what's your point?

    I would love to see both candidates forget about some of the 'name calling' and just speak the facts, and let them fall where they may (we can make up our own mind based on the facts... and would like that oportunity). (There are times when this is done, but it should be more)

    We want to elect a president based on their ideas and opinions of the issues facing our country, not on how well they name call eachother. We already know enough about the candidates character and integrety, now we want to know where they stand on real issues.

  9. Re:The man has a point on A Six-Step Plan for Apple · · Score: 1

    And if you could *just* go buy a mac, what would be the point?

    Apple has done what few other companies can do (actually aside from game companies I really can't think of any other good examples). When you want to purchase a Mac you contemplate it, you save, you drule, and you will even happily drive 2 hrs to a apple store to make your purchase.

    The end result as far as having a mac is the same as it would be if they were cheap enough for you to suddenly go down the street and pick one up at best buy and be done with it.

    The point is, that because the price is high enough, apple gains a huge percentage of 'mindshare' if you will. You think about macs and lust after them more than any other hardware. Any new item apple comes out with, you start dreaming about immediatly. You are re-born into a mac-zealot! They may not make sales of you instantly, but they will eventually. I know many people who want macs but havn't been able to purchase them yet. This to me says that Apples marketshare is going up... perhaphs not tomorrow, but it's going up.

    I believe that these are things that apple couldn't achive if their price point was lower.

    I wasn't sure what your point #3 was about anyway (in relation to the topic), but I thought it worth pointing out where it didn't hold up to my line of reasoning.

    Ok, so talk about debunking, you added little of value. And the page you linked to about the box which may have held James, brother of Jesus only lends more credibility, against your claims, that the events in the Bible are true.

    "People thousands of years ago lacked [intelligence]..."

    And Da Vinci had intelligence 'before his time' which shows that intelligence is not related to the timeframe at all.
