The biggest problem with the spaces vs tabs debate is that editor presentation is still tightly coupled to file persistence. Imagine an abstraction layer created so that developers might choose to see what they wished, yet have files saved in a standard format it might negate some of the issues people have.
This is a great move. Unfortunately it's still in Microsoft Word format and there's no license associated with it. Would love to see this somewhere like GitHub, where it could be forked and changed by others.
Thanks, I've already tried that. My main issue is EBS performance when writing the dump file to disk. The backups themselves don't impact on database performace much, but writing up to 20 Gigs of a dump file to an EBS disk on a nightly basis is extremely slow. Maybe this Data Pipeline service will help bypass that.
Just this week I was looking for a better solution that would back up my RDS database to S3. I'm currently using mysqldump, but the RDS instance size has grown extremely large and so, it has become unwieldly. Hopefully this will help with that.
"11:03 AM PDT We are currently experiencing connectivity issues and degraded performance for a small number of RDS DB Instances in a single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 Region."
Given that my sites are deployed using Multi-AZ RDS instances and yet they're still down, this takes the cake a little.
"It's built with simplicity and power in mind -- The simplicity for a non-technical user to be given the reigns to deploy from a master branch to a "staging" server… or to a production server after any tests have passed."
I'm sure there's good reasoning behind wanting to give a non-technical user the rights to deploy code to servers, but I'm afraid I can't seem to conceive of them right now. Can you elaborate why you would want someone without the requisite technical skills deploying code?
There is an argument to be made that no guaranteed vacation days means that companies don't have to pay you for your unused vacation days if you leave or are let go.
I've always thought that using some sort of internal torrent mechanism would be a good way for applications to download their updates, especially something like Chrome, which updates quite frequently.
