What is luck really?

Determination + Opportunity = Luck

+ randomness

Determination * (Opportunity/randomness) = Luck

still no support on cloudfront or elb on aws

It's a poor workaround, but you can set your ELBs in TCP mode, and terminate TLS and HTTP/2 on the instances directly.

Of course; Amazon prefers launching dozens of new products every year to fixing or improving their existing services.

Challenge for anyone supporting SPDY today (which has a lot more users) is HTTP/2 and SPDY are somewhat incompatible, so you have to choose.

Support for HTTP2 is catching up pretty quickly though, just lacking some love in the default android browser.

http://caniuse.com/#search=spdy 79%

Isn't SPDY deprecated for HTTP/2 though?

Yes. Even if they support SPDY it will be quite useful - http://caniuse.com/#search=spdy

We have been using MongoDB since 1.6 and has worked well for our applications and have not encountered any major issues that would motivate us back to using MySql as our defacto DB.

Knowing the limitations and behavior of Mongo can go a long way in avoiding some of the issues people have encountered.

Definitely looking forward to testing WT and RocksDB in 3.0, beyond performance improvements will drop our storage costs with compression and for a indie studio every dollar counts!

Chrome has been making some pretty awesome improvements to the dev console as well as performance related to HTML5 on desktop and mobile.

Our game http://www.FreeRiderHD.com has always performed best on mobile and desktop through Chrome.

That being said the most recent stable build of Chrome desktop is constantly triggering 'Aw Snap' crashes without any crash data where the issue does not appear to exist in previous or future beta builds. Not just limited to our game as I have been experiencing crashes on Facebook and Twitter as well.

this is great news, thanks for linking the talk!

@rubiquity calgary is oil country that is why you are seeing higher prices

interesting site, plugged in Victoria Canada (city my company is in) and numbers seemed a little off for rent currently listed in craigslist. +170% on website more like +300% from quick look in craigslist.

also doesn't factor in time commuting, quality of life, avg hrs worked per day, etc... would love to see a pay breakdown $$ / hr worked (at office).

The data is crowd sourced so it may deviate, you can contribute your data to keep it aligned. Also the quality of life and commuting comparisons can be done from the pull down menu in the header.

interesting, would imagine that could deviate quite a bit then. for things like cost of coffee / meals i could see crowd sourcing but aggregating from an online source for rentals / housing sales would lead to much more accurate estimate as they are the bigger ticket items.

OT, but how is Victoria as a city to run a tech company in? I lived there nearly a decade ago and enjoyed my time - I still think about returning some day.

Please do. Everyone I know is hiring. We're hiring.

IBM research and that's about it. Maybe some small start ups but otherwise I recall its website shops.

This has changed quite a bit. There are a strangely large number of companies (both startups and a-bit-older-than-startups) doing various large data analytics type things. Also plenty of adtech related startups.

yes, in our experience building games this has been a major issue / concern for iphone players.

because for interacting with web apps those default browser buttons are just as 'dangerous' as ads for the user accidentally tapping them and navigating away from the page

have you tried it? don't be concerned it is very easy for a user to get the ui back by scrolling up. If you haven't hit any sites yet try ours here http://www.freeriderhd.com

before this change, playing our game was a real pain on iPhone this was a much needed improvement.
