DockerHub is down as well. DockerHub was down in Oct 2015 because S3 was down in US-EAST. They should have known to cache images in multiple S3 regions since then.

In the browser environment, people usually use quite a few inline anonymous functions. Javascript is great at this since you can define full-blown anonymous functions anywhere.

Python, on the other hand, is definitely one of the worst at this. You can only create one-line, single-expression anonymous function with its lambda keyword. Of all the languages you want to convert to JS so that it runs on the browser, Python is probably the last.

Yeah, but if your status page is made to be seen by external people, the right thing to do would be to monitor it just like if you were using it externally. There are whole slew of problems that wouldn't be exposed correctly if your monitoring point is internal -- like this exact problem, DNS, etc.

The reason I asked it because taxis have very different usage pattern than regular cars -- there might be extra operating costs (like extra gas, oil change, & service costs due to the extra range, and probably taxi operating license fee) that I'm not aware of which might weaken the analogy with the average car a bit.

I don't think Tesla would worry for Hyperloop in the case of SF-to-SJ type commutes -- BART and Caltrain would probably be the ones who should worry. In fact in the US, I don't think there'd be a case where Tesla would worry about Hyperloop at all, as it's pretty car-driven culturally and architecturally -- people in general are walking-averse and still need cars to get to places that are between "stations". It might be different in other places like Europe or Asia though.

With the addition of Hyperloop, Elon Musk is basically transforming transportation in all possible ranges:

- Short-range (in-city, cross-city): Tesla

- Medium-range/long-range (cross-state, possibly cross-country & cross-continent): Hyperloop

- Ultra-long-range (cross-planetary, possibly cross-galactic): SpaceX

There might be a lot of internal things that you don't want this "proxy" person to see & hear.. In that case, the Double is a better bet.

It's a nice fun little tool -- but it's rather inefficient in terms of the number of AJAX requests that it needs to do in order to fetch the templates. The rather simple linked page needs a total of 3 AJAX requests, one for each template. As your app (especially mobile apps) needs more templates, it probably won't be very performant. There's a reason why Ember and other frameworks prefer their templates to be embedded right in the HTML -- no need for separate AJAX fetching.

Facebook's New Feed 13 years ago

If anyone from FB is here: is the live news ticker going away? I can't see it in any of the new design preview pictures. I honestly love that feature and would hate it to go away in the new design.

Seems like Facebook doesn't turn on SPDY for all its CDNs yet. I only see SPDY turned on for sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net and photos-a.xx.fbcdn.net, which only serve a rather small portion of all the static assets. The lion share of its assets are mainly served through fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net, fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net and other *.akamaihd.net domains, which aren't SPDY-enabled currently.

Nope, I'm a developer and I fully see getting a Chromebook in the near future as I develop some of my applications through SSH on my remote EC2 instance anyways. The reason why I didn't get it just yet is because I wasn't too impressed with the 3G connection of the Google CR48 that I got a while ago. Once I see good 3G/LTE connection reviews of Chromebook, there's a high chance I'm getting it.
