Looks like they're starting a Pro version that requires signup/payment.

Re:Composer – Disable GC when computing deps and refs on Tuesday December 02, 2014 @12:13PM (#8688206)
You shouldn't be running composer update on your deployment, just composer install which doesn't take as much memory since it doesn't have to resolve dependencies.

The footer has links to Google. Unless Google is now doing movie marketing.

This is also part of another game that was submitted a couple weeks ago which was a recruiting game for GOogle.

Re:Autoscaling, Welcome to Google Compute Engine on Monday November 17, 2014 @01:43PM (#8619690)
It's like AWS EC2 Auto Scaling. GCP also has Load Balancing which complements the autoscaling feature, which is like AWS ELB.

You may need to tell your browser to load scripts over HTTP.
Re:Reqr.es on Monday November 10, 2014 @02:39PM (#8585734)
Yeah I would honestly prefer Apiary since it's more flexible.
Re:Reqr.es on Monday November 10, 2014 @12:17PM (#8584787)
It would be great for learning client-side development using React, AngularJS, etc. without having to use an existing API or building one yourself.
Re:Reqr.es on Monday November 10, 2014 @12:16PM (#8584778)
You can't. Looks like the response is hard-coded.

Would be nice to be able to customize keys, choose a format for a list of a resource, etc. so that if you use this in development you don't need to make changes for your "real" API if you have different standards.

Re:WordPress on Heroku on Friday July 25, 2014 @01:24PM (#8086313)
It's installed through Composer. In composer.json it sets up a custom repository to download the latest version of WordPress, and then uses the "extra" section to install it to a custom directory (in this case the public directory).

Right, but you can't use their logo, you need to specify it's a parody, etc. See: https://support.twitter.com/articles/106373-parody-commentar...
Re:Link: A fast and simple PHP Router on Thursday May 29, 2014 @12:48PM (#7817149)
Yeah I don't understand the use of statics here. I'm going to guess it's just so they can use the "nicer" syntax without having to instantiate a new object, which would honestly make more sense to me. That way you can inject a Link instance into your controller/views and just call `$link->route('namedRoute')`.

You have to mail it in, but http://modnotebooks.com/ will scan your notebook and digitize the contents for you.
At least some large cloud storage providers offer it. For example, AWS has Import/Export[0] and Google has Offline Disk Import for Google Cloud Storage[1].

You can calculate the minimum sample size needed to come up with that threshold rather easily. See: http://vuurr.com/split-testing-determine-sample-size/
Re:Denial of Service Attacks on Friday March 14, 2014 @11:46AM (#7399579)
One other problem is that if you're using a tool like Capistrano to deploy, you usually set your remote repo to Github. When Github goes down, you can't deploy until it comes back up or you set up your own remote server.
I've tried the last two major versions of PHPStorm and I just can't use it. On my Air with 4GB of RAM it struggles to even open a file. It's slow, sometimes unresponsive, and uses so much memory so my VM can't run on the same machine. If there was a 'Lite' version, I'd love to try it out. But the defacto PHP IDE can not run on my machine, which is why I stick with ST and plugins.

If you change the x-axis to be roughly the same range as on graph.tk, it turns out like this:

Re:Develop Wordpress plugins, themes with Docker on Monday November 18, 2013 @02:00PM (#6756139)
I also highly recommend using https://github.com/10up/varying-vagrant-vagrants since they bundle a few different versions of WordPress. It's mostly used for development of WordPress core but it's also great for theme and plugin development.
We just had the kittens at our office (they just left). They have 3 cars doing it, and we were only the second company to get that car.

One of them really liked me (Artemis). :)

Gangplank is great. I worked there for a few years up until 6 months ago when I moved to SF. I also know many people involved in Co+Hoots, and it's also a great space.
Re:Ggplot2 for python on Monday October 14, 2013 @09:27PM (#6550870)
Ah I think the reason why I didn't think I needed BLAS/LAPACK is because I install R on the server first which installs those as shared libraries.
Re:Ggplot2 for python on Monday October 14, 2013 @12:19PM (#6548092)
I think all you need is build-essentials and python-dev.
Nope. I've only seen one driver ever since I've been using it.
