Re: About Robin Williams' suicide

It's a tough issue to fully understand, Dave – but we should keep talking about it to understand it better. Death is one issue in which our culture does a poor job in helping us understand at a practical level.

Dave, I've had very similar thoughts as you, about this.
Consider the 200+ people who leapt to their deaths from the Twin Towers on 9/11 rather than be burned alive - they made a choice to go out on their own terms.
While this is an extreme example, it highlights how bad life can be compared to not living.
During POW training, one thing that's stressed, repeatedly, is that ever person has a breaking point.

That's very true. Everyday you can see what worked and what didn't.
A big part of my love for software development is that it's never complete. There's always more to do, design, learn, and create.

Yes, indeed. You can probably smell my gears grinding all the way to NY and back.

The podcast is a perfect companion for explaining Happy Friends. Thanks.

Amazon says the alerts don't work with spot instances.

I just read Part II of your story. Whew! I'm glad you figured it out.

I was wondering if it was possible to use AWS credentials to generate more AWS credentials using them via the AWS API (luckily, that's not the case).

Yesterday, I had the AWS rep walk me through canceling (deleting) the spot instances, so I'm in the clear.

Thanks so much for the follow up!

Do you use GitHub?

Re: [Scripting News]: April 11

Joe Moreno — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 14:03:21 -0000

Oh, that's not good. I just read your longer version. How do you think your credentials were compromised?

Ted,
.
1. How much was your bill?
2. How long did it take Amazon to settle it?

Thanks,
Joe

We are connected to the universe; in the past, through star dust and in the present through the earth, solar system, and Milky Way.

Has there ever been a prior situation like this in human history where technology obsoletes technology to the detriment of knowledge and information?

Best case I can think of are reel-to-reel, 8 track, cassette tapes, etc.

Very clean and clear rules. Now, when someone bitches, you can just point them to this post – smart!

Re: Google, Twitter and Facebook, et al have a way out

Joe Moreno — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 14:51:08 -0000

I like the idea of decentralization. But, when I try to visualize it, practically speaking, I picture BitTorrent or TOR where speed and quality of service is compromised, substantially, in favor of decentralization.

Wow, had it already been almost two months since we met up at the SD Tech Coffee Meetup in Del Mar? Hope your trip is going smoothly!

Re: Why Hard-Core Pornography is Bad for your Health, and other facts about Testosterone

Ok, got it! Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Why Hard-Core Pornography is Bad for your Health, and other facts about Testosterone

Joe Moreno — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:28:20 -0000

So, just to be clear, it's not the staying up late or porn watching that has the negative effect; it's actully the lack of sleep? In other words, going to sleep at 2 AM and sleeping until noon is better than eight hours of early to bed, early to rise?

Re: Posterous archive received

Joe Moreno — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:06:18 -0000

I just downloaded my Posterous archive.
I'm getting broken links in my download that are still live on my Posterous website.

Also, there's no mapping between their website posts (URL) and their downloads.
Best solution at this point would be to screen scrape my entire Posterous blog and save the static HTML and media.

Re: Posterous archive received

Joe Moreno — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:32:06 -0000

I'm downloading my archive now. Why didn't I pick Tumblr over Posterous all those years back? (Probably because Kawasaki was an advisor to Posterous.)
I have so much content on Posterous - I'm a little disappointed that I now have to find a new home. But, since I was using my own domain name with Posterous I'm hoping that it's not too difficult to set up, even if it's only a static website so my links don't break.

Re: Vine is interesting

Ahh, yes. You can review it. My mistake.

Re: Vine is interesting

Joe Moreno — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:05:39 -0000

The real time feature of Vine is definitely a shortcoming. You can't even review the video before deciding to post it to Twitter.
