can someone ask @gruber if he'd be interested in blessing a real Markdown spec with GitHub and Stack Overflow on board?

@mdmarra compatibility of what? this is all off the shelf, bog standard Intel / Samsung parts, same as everyone uses.

*another* GitHub outage? That's 3 days in a row now. This is a service I pay for and my business actually relies on. Not cool.

@mdmarra it's all just parts from the same factories. No need to be afraid, if you know what you're doing. BE STRONG BROTHER!

for reference the far less powerful 2009 Stack Overflow servers pulled 175w max, 1.55 amp. In 2012 it's 87w, 0.75 amp.

@rootwyrm virtualization pretty much breaks Turbo Boost, and often breaks downscaling of CPU clock to save idle power too. Unfortunate.

@rootwyrm you definitely need to read this post: http://t.co/hRwrkMww

@rootwyrm nope, valid kill-a-watt measurements with dual SSDs. Who puts spinning rust in a server these days? (Kim Dotcom maybe?)

so 5 of these 1U servers is 3.6 amps under artificial never-gonna-happen 100% CPU load, and well under 3 amps in real world use.

updated with measured power consumption on the 1U servers I built: 31w idle, 87w under artificial 100% CPU load. http://t.co/ylGzb3R1

@emrysx I don't disagree that bundling the soft keyboard would have been awesome. But not a huge mental leap from $30-$60 for ipad3 cover

@emrysx Well, iPad doesn't come with a cover. And 16gb is kind of a joke on a HD device, I deeply regret the 16gb iPad 3 we own.

I was worried "look for 30 secs, make snap judgment" would be unfair then I realized that's.. pretty much how everyone does it. :/

Judging Rails Rumble, there are ~340 entries. Guess I'll start by looking for 30 seconds at each one and making a snap judgment? #realworld

Every time you encounter Apple's horrible craptastic Java-Oracle based webapps, you can thank Steve's friendship with Larry Ellison.

On the other hand, Jobs was best bros with Larry Ellison, perhaps the most evil and slimy and enterprisey man in the world.

one of the hidden messages of Apple is that you don't have to be "enterprisey" to be successful. And thank god for that.
