@Undo So it looks like to me you run a RDS with MySQL & have it auto backup to S3? Am I right? Seems pretty simple.
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 That's not what I am doing right now, but it's probably what I should be :P
Right now I have MySQL installed on the Ubuntu server in EC2.
hichris123
hichris123
What's the difference?
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 So RDS has its own 'instances'. EC2 has its own 'instances'. Right now I have only an EC2 instance with Apache and MySQL and PHP on it.
If I were to do it right, then I would have an EC2 instance with only Apache and PHP on it, and have an RDS instance with MySQL on it.
hichris123
hichris123
Ah, that makes more sense. :P
You're easier to understand than any of thses AWS help thingys.
Undo
Undo
Probably :P

Hehe
Oh, I figured out a non-cronjob related thingy to do to Charcoal
hichris123
hichris123
Hmm?
Undo
Undo
We can make a thing to load in more comments without reloading the whole page
hichris123
hichris123
@Undo Is there any difference in terms of performance or anything?
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 Not sure.
hichris123
hichris123
20:38
@Undo YES!
Undo
Undo
I think RDS instances are EC2 instances without all the OS stuff, just pure MySQL optimizations.
hichris123
hichris123
Huh. Interesting.
It's like learning a whole new language with AWS. :P
Undo
Undo
It is.
But it's totally worth it.
(also, Google has its own compute engine. It's not as mature, though, and it's usually more expensive)
hichris123
hichris123
@Undo Me saw it, but it doesn't look like there's an easy way to do the MySQL and other stuff on it.
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 Well, if they just hand you a blank VPS (like EC2 does), then you can do just about anything with it.
Wait, I found a thing! cloud.google.com/products/cloud-sql
hichris123
hichris123
20:41
You have to pay, though. :(
Undo
Undo
True
hichris123
hichris123
Me likes free tiers.
Undo
Undo
Me does too.
They get you dependent on it, then they rip the freeness away from you :P
hichris123
hichris123
Yep.
I'm going to have to find that AWS $100 thingy.
Undo
Undo
I hope you do.
it's nice being able to play with stuff and know it won't come back to bite you in the wallet.
hichris123
hichris123
20:44
Yeah, as a kid without a job life's very different than for most AWS customers. :P
Undo
Undo
Hehe, yeah
Hey, maybe we can get SE to host Charcoal!
hichris123
hichris123
Hmm.... there's a certain SE employee in here right now.
Undo
Undo
Although they would probably rewrite it in a language we can't understand ;(
hichris123
hichris123
Like some MS language.
Undo
Undo
shudders
So maybe we should... hmm...
I know! We could accept 'donations' from moderators of sites. If they donate a bunch of money, they won't get as many flags!
hichris123
hichris123
20:48
Heh.
Undo
Undo
(hint: this is probably a bad idea)
hichris123
hichris123
That's good. :P
And then we just spam them with flags anyway.
Undo
Undo
No, that would be wrong.
hichris123
hichris123
Seriously?
ebay.com/itm/…
Undo
Undo
Heh, that's exactly what I got.
hichris123
hichris123
20:50
It didn't onebox... :(
We didn't have a giant Amazon onebox.
Undo
Undo
What they don't know is that it will probably only be valid for a few more months.
@hichris123 Yay for no giant oneboxes!
hichris123
hichris123
Probably true.
Undo
Undo
Ok, we must figure out how to make the AJAX-reloader gizmo.
hichris123
hichris123
Your turn to do it. I don't know anything about AJAX.
Though I could probably learn...
Undo
Undo
It's just a GET request in the jQuery
@hichris123 Kinda like this line
Just a .ajax();
hichris123
hichris123
20:54
How I'd learn it is just by copying and pasting code to do stuff.
So would we load it when the page is empty, or when 1 is handled?
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 I would say that we load it when the page is empty.
Because otherwise we have to deal with knowing what flags are currently already on the screen
hichris123
hichris123
Okay. So how do we detect that?
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 We can always show the button, and when it's pushed let's just remove all the flags from the page and reload them.
Oooh @hichris123 maybe free AWS money somewhere in here: aws.amazon.com/activate/…
> $1,000 to $15,000 AWS Promotional Credit
Good lord, that would go forever!
hichris123
hichris123
That's for startups in some accelerators/places, though.
> For startups in select accelerators or funds
Undo
Undo
We must figure out how to make me an accelerator, incubator, or seed fund so that you can be associated with me.
hichris123
hichris123
20:57
Heh. :P
Undo
Undo
Ok, I'm going to try to add the ajax gizmo
hichris123
hichris123
Okay. Have fun. :P

Ug, I'm not at a university @Undo.
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 Hmmm....
Undo's Flag Research Team?
hichris123
hichris123
Undo's College of Flags and Hacking SE

Hey, just get a grant and you can do it!
Undo
Undo
I probably could :P
The part about being accredited might be hard, though

I'm out. :(
I already did mine.

hichris123

@Undo Looks almost done to me?
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 Not even close. I can't get the jQuery action hooked up ;(
hichris123
hichris123
Oh. Okay.
So you mean when you click it it doesn't fire the jQuery action @Undo?
Undo
Undo
@hichris123 yes - can you see any reason why?
hichris123
hichris123
No...
