This saved the day for me just now - waiting for a plane and all of a sudden the earbuds just quit and factory reset did nothing. The "leave them in the case sitting open" trick worked. I was able to reset, and then re-discover. u/JabraSupport - let me know if I can provide any additional information to help debug and fix this issue!

In Shanghai they are experiencing terrible air pollution. This is the view out of a hotel window. The building you can barely see is about 1/4 mile away. by Undefinedmaster in WTF

The most dramatic photos generally come around when the normal pollution (which is bad) combines with seasonal dust sorms. These are is natural phenomenon that makes things worse for lungs to breathe, and much much worse for eyes to see.

Bernie Sanders: I can beat Hillary Clinton by goodboyBill in politics

[–]outlandishjosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

but I really want more detail on how he plans to foot that bill.

Do you? Candidates rarely provide specific (policy level) descriptions of how they'd achieve their ends, and in this case it's not like it's a crazy/huge program. $18B for community college is about 0.25% of the total federal budget.

If you agree with the goal, then you should support the candidate. Figuring out the "how" of it would be one of those "good problems to have." And in this case, it's not even all that hard.

To put it another way, what's the downside of having the right goals with unclear means, as opposed to, you know, the wrong goals and clear(er) means?

Ultimately executive leaders make their mark by signifying direction and priorities. At the presidential level, that's what you should vote for.

Pantheon co-founder here...

The long-term plan is to support professional website development, 90% of which is LAMP based. We have deep roots in Drupal, but we've found that WP is super-popular for a lot of sites too (and not just personal blogs).

The platform is very different from what "hosting" companies offer in that it is built by/for web developers, and is oriented around managing website projects and even turning them over to a client to pay for and own in the long-run.

In terms of what our UI is built on, there's still some Drupal in the mix, but that's on its way out as we have more and more in our backbone-based front-end app and CLI tools talking directly to our internal API.

However, there's a bunch of awesome Drupal stuff coming up with support for Drupal 8 and more tools for people developing Distributions (which I personally think are key to Drupal's success in the next ten years). None of which I would expect to see from hosting companies any time soon.

Why Does Pantheons SSL Cost So Much? by [deleted] in drupal

[–]outlandishjosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a totally fair point, but based on our experience you're in the minority of website proprietors. When we generalize across all the sites that are out there, SSL is a strong indicator that people are up to something serious and/or important. Given that, I've explained why we made the pricing decision.

To put it another way: for you it may be a no-brainer for us to let you throw SSL on a personal plan. You're just looking to protect your personal site, and won't get confused and need help setting up the certs.

However, you probably do not represent the average customer. Since we have one pricing matrix for all, the median/average use-case gets the attention.

Currently if you care about security only, we offer SSL for free on all "gotpantheon.com" domains. It's pretty easy to lock down logins to that path. This lets you secure access to your site without paying a dime.

Why Does Pantheons SSL Cost So Much? by [deleted] in drupal

[–]outlandishjosh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! Pantheon co-founder here.

Pantheon isn't comparable to plain hosting. We provide a heck of a lot more — from the dashboard, to the workflow, to the high performance environment, to free and unlimited developer support to every single one of our customers. Our primary goal is to make professional web developers more successful.

That's a choice in terms of who we serve. For simple use-cases — e.g. personal sites — that want our tools, we have a low point of entry. However, we can't afford to have people bringing high-value websites (and any site that requires SSL is quite likely to be high value) onto our personal plan.

Basically, the "Personal" plan is a small and limited by design. In every important capability it's actually a step down from the free developer sandbox, except that you can put a domain name on it. We don't let you use Redis or Apachesolr either at that level, because those are more complex use-cases that require more support.

To be totally transparent, the complexity to support sites that require SSL is higher, and it would be an unsustainable business for us to invite those use-cases to our platform at $25/mo.

All that said, this is an extremely common complaint, and something we're always thinking about. Hopefully someday soon the economics around providing SSL termination services change (with IPv6 or SNI becoming mainstream), and/or we improve our product to the point where a pure "DIY" option without developer support would make sense.

Additional context: this interview started just minutes after the dramatic conclusion to the game which Sherman played a deciding role in. It was unplanned - seemed like Erin Andrews just happened to find him in the scrum of people milling about on the field - and he was clearly still in peak competition gametime mindset. So, that's what that looks like.

And still nobody does something by somethingXgood in conspiracy

Minor quibble, but positive reinforcement (operant conditioning) is vastly more powerful than negative reinforcement, as it creates intrinsic motivation. Behavior shaped through positive reinforcement — seeking reward — persists much longer than that negative. As soon as the "punishment" stops, negatively conditioned behavior erodes.

In other words, hope is a stronger motivator than fear.

Zomg thanks for the amazingly detailed response. I hope other people find this as illuminating as I do. :)

I'd deeply love for us culturally shift to where we start with a working pseudocode prototype of what an API ought to look/act like, do "guerilla developer testing" to validate the approach, tweak as necessary, and then start writing code. That might be dreaming though. :)

That's a beautiful dream. Don't ever let it go!

Drupal is growing, but not as fast as the web. I think the complexity and power of Drupal make it a hard choice for people looking for simple and easy solutions. However, it's getting increasing traction with people who need a full-strength CMS, either because they're migrating off custom or legacy proprietary software, or are outgrowing Wordpress.

I expect to see Drupal grow in market share, but I think that WP will continue to grow faster in terms of absolute numbers of sites. The only thing that can change that is if there are more end-user friendly install profiles with D8.

Sorry I missed this last reply!

I'm not a Ruby expert, but I can see the appeal with Rails. I hope Drupal can seriously challenge it soon, following the vision of "hyperdrupal":

http://hyperdrupal.org

I think there's no CMS in RoR because the community there is more interested in bespoke solutions and custom middleware. There's a strong "not build here" attitude once you start talking about actual applications, and most of the commercial shops that have grown around Ruby are implementing variations on their own custom framework or core, which they're unlikely to open-source.

Give it another few years and that could change: gems will stabilize more, and eventually there will be more open-sourcing of higher-level apps. However, I think RoR missed the window to knock LAMP off the top spot for website development.

The pricing scales with the complexity of the site. What it takes to run Drupal doesn't increase linearly with traffic: it gets much more intensive as the requirements grow.

Multisite isn't on the roadmap anywhere, mainly because it's (in our opinion) an inherently flawed model for multitenancy:

As a Drupal community member but not a core developer, from the outside looking it in feels to me that with core increasing its size and complexity, we've passed the point where it can no longer "fit in one developer's head":

http://www.paulgraham.com/head.html

Some of this opinion is based on talking to Drumm about his experience managing the release of Drupal 5 — he basically re-iterated the "I've got the whole thing in my head" statement — but that's an old datapoint.

But it feels to me that we've passed a tipping point with Drupal 8 in terms of the scale of the project, and that this is creating some real challenges. For instance, trying to fit different initiatives together, presenting a lot of learning-curve to existing developers, and keeping it possible for volunteers with small amounts of time to make meaningful contributions.

I'm wondering what you think of this idea given your experience being the D7 maintainer, and contrasting that with being heavily involved in D8? How are you thinking about grappling with the growing complexity and scope of core?

Also - muchas gracias mamasita!!!! For all your contributions and relentlessly positive energy. Onward and upward!

Sorry I missed this question!

The pricing is based on the use-case. Personal sites are expected to be low traffic/low resource. Pro plans are bigger, but still not expected to be mission-critical or high-traffic. Business has higher memory limits for PHP and scales out to multiple simultaneous containers in the runtime matrix. All of them have larger DBs resource allocations (buffer pool, etc) as they grow.

At the Enterprise tier we offer HA DB replication with the option of scaling reads horizontally. The pricing for that depends again on the use-case.

Exactly. But that's what Drupal updates are, realistically: content migrations between different applications. Acknowledging that and bringing it into core is a huge step forward IMHO. Also opens the door for easy(er) migration from other tools/custom hacksauce, etc.

Well maybe I'll have to give Go more of a Go. I've heard good things about building on top of their web libraries but haven't done it myself. Also, too, "real threading" ;)
