Evaluated it and a couple of others. Chose Bosun, never looked back, it's probably the only system with flexible and concise DSL for evaluating alerts (somewhat similar to R in spirit).

Riemann rocks, just not as monitoring system.

Same as ThinkGeek's one: https://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/moodinq-tattoo.shtml

How do you know actually? A lot changed in past 4-5 years, having a soldier with a black eye is a whole lot of trouble for commanding officers and they sometimes take ridiculous measures to prevent that. Of course it's not same everywhere, but it's army after all.

It's more like boredom and stupidity, but that's probably universal between countries.

There's a kind of similar trend in Russia.

Don't know for NGinx yet, but one can balance with HAProxy, e.g. create 2 backends for read/write respectively.

But isn't SPDY kind of deprecated already in favor of HTTP/2 ?

People should at least try to see forest behind trees. It's not only cows or only almonds. The reason land dies is very complex one, mostly because ecosystems become unbalanced through abuse by CAFO and unsustainable farming.

Still fun to read. Could anyone shed some light on author's background that led to this piece?

Just found it today, and it's great, but written in javascript, which kills everything that I like in Emacs (I mean Lisp).

Ok, but what's causing overeating? Viewing human behaviour as a sole function of free will is reductionist at least.

We've just finished migrating our ELK stack from cloud VPS'es to bare metal to cut costs. I was and still impressed how smooth that went including upgrading from 0.9x to 1.4

It's better because given the same input you always get the same output. For example, in Gentoo when one builds a package the final result depends on what's been built before. Or (killer feature for configuration management):

Suppose one has a resource for file in Puppet

file "blah" do source "yada" end

if you erase that resource, the file still stays there. With Nix/Guix anything not defined in configuration isn't present at all on system.

Another feature : one can install, for example, different versions of Python/PyPy/etc locally using the same package manager. Local and system-wide package share the same underlying files and don't interfere.

Rollbacks, very easy way to restore system packages/configs to previous working state.

Or one can even consider taking a shot at GNU DMD with Guix. Alpha-quality software, but it looks promising (at least for brave and true schemers).

We've had a 3rd party router configured to balance traffic based on even/odd last octet. Add faulty hardware and DHCP to the mix, and here you have really hard to debug problem.

What powerful features does one need in music player? Or, what features do you miss in OSS players?

Oh, I'm so glad they've changed the former name (was Nimrod).

And even Elm with Clojure/CLJS https://github.com/jamesmacaulay/zelkova

Contrary to latter is an example of Vkontakte russian social network refusing to block ukranian EuroMaidan groups. Which subsequently led to it's founder Pavel Durov resignation.

I have a strange feeling that paleo etc folks already know this for years.

Many think of it like "War and Peace" of 20th century.

Let me clarify a bit, I'm a former employee of russian telecom operator.

Almost everyone can file a complaint. Roskomnadzor's experts decide if it's valid (no court order is needed) then sends notice, and a site's owner has 3 days to comply.

Telecom operator doesn't have to block entire site, only the offending content. But, as you know it's not always possible due to, you know, https or absence of DPI hardware.

And almost all, I think, who filed complaints, tried to show the absurdity of the situation.

It's the essence of situation in Russia, government tries to do some "good", but even then it does it mostly horribly wrong. Incompetence is everywhere empowered by the fact that those incompetent people are here to stay.

Could you please elaborate on rolling over US allies, please? Which are those exactly?

You're being a bit irresponsible, people are not really the same after embracing Emacs. First you try to understand what's the deal with all these parens and year later you frown at almost everything that isn't Lisp.

I wholeheartedly agree. And there's also a rather well-known book by Daniel Pink "Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us". Money isn't the major factor in motivation indeed, but only if there's enough of it (to not think about).

I understand that there are different days, but is there a possibility, like 0% on hard days and 30% on easy ones at Google?

Every time I see a similar submission on how bad FOSS communities are, I can't help but wonder - what do we do about it then? People react violently not always solely because of their nature, but also because they don't see a reasonable way to change things. It probably would help better for Poettering to write a post addressing systemd criticism, maybe there is one, but it never made to HN for some reason.

I remember that russian specialists had actually offered help with that at the time.
