dhendo··on The Next Generation (I3en) of I/O-Optimized EC2 Instances
Yes - the announcement for the older i3 instances (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-available-i3-instances-...) claims 3.3M IOPS (presumably on the largest size, with 15.2TB) So it looks to me like these are larger, slower drives?
dhendo··on The Next Generation (I3en) of I/O-Optimized EC2 Instances
Jeff - are the disks slower (but bigger) than the i3 versions?

It looks like the IOPS and throughput are lower at the top end (looking at the two release pages).

dhendo··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2017)
Fresh Relevance | Frontend Team Lead | Southampton, UK | ONSITE We're a SaaS based marketing technology provider working with some of the largest brands in the UK, Europe and the USA. We're looking for a frontend development team lead to expand our team and drive the future direction of our user-facing admin site.

The ideal candidate would either have previous experience leading a team, or be a senior developer with mentoring experience looking to take the next step.

Experience with python / django would be useful, but good HTML / CSS / JS skills are a must, along with a strong sense for UI and UX design.

Experience with SaaS / marketing technology would be a bonus.

This role is based on the green and leafy Southampton Science Park, but we also have offices in London and Boston.

dhendo··on Why did we switch from Braintree to Stripe?
We just moved from Braintree to Stripe (they changed their relationship with Adyen and gave us ~ 6 weeks to re-sign with their new merchant provider or move away). We do all our recurring payments on Chargebee, so it was pretty painless when we eventually got the vaulted details securely moved out of Braintree.
dhendo··on Ask HN: What do you use for recurring billing?
Yup, we've been using chargebee for about 4 years, can confirm they're great.

dhendo··on uWebSockets: Scalable WebSocket server library for Node.js and C++11
Fair enough. It is probably not a huge rewrite to give it a try.

I'm assuming it's not a straight swap for the `websocket` package? https://github.com/theturtle32/WebSocket-Node

dhendo··on NoSQL Meets Bitcoin and Brings Down Two Exchanges
Mongo does have document-level atomic update operators, such as $inc: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/update/inc...
dhendo··on Come on Amazon, give ELB some love
Yes, sounds like a good idea (if you have control of the DNS)
dhendo··on Show HN: AWS EC2 On-demand vs. Reserved Interactive Price Comparison
It would be interesting to see the current spot instance price plotted as well.
dhendo··on Who Has the Guts for Gluten?
My OH is a Coeliac, so I did the only thing I could do in the situation... wrote an app to make life a little easier to find somewhere to eat out. http://www.coeliacmap.com https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.djch.foo... http://www.windowsphone.com/en-sg/store/app/coeliac-map/2a29...

The majority of the reviews (user submitted) are in the UK, but there's some data in the US.

Hopefully will be of use to someone on here!

dhendo··on Low Power Server Monitoring with a Raspberry Pi
Yes, I was pretty lucky to pick it up the next day!
dhendo··on Lessons Learnt From Using MongoDB With High Volume Data
Yes... pretty well - caught a few issues before they went out.

Dropping the data - this is just the raw unfiltered stream. We save the interesting process data elsewhere and then ditch the raw events.

dhendo··on Bootstrap 2.0, From Twitter
Yes, it is based on media queries on the available screen real estate with differences as <480, 768, 980 and 1200px.

The phone will pick out the smallest one. Try turning the iPad into the portrait orientation.

dhendo··on Bootstrap 2.0, From Twitter
Yes, it looks like the docs are lagging behind the code. You just need to include the icon-something class in a tag.
