Re:Painless NGINX Ingress on Wednesday September 13, 2017 @11:02AM (#15238901)
Cool read. I don't use Kubernetes but I learned a few things from this blog post that are applicable to my ECS environment.

The NGINX config part is tricky and it didn't come to mind that many programs will try to be smart about machine resources and it won't work in the container world as expected. This was a good reminder. OP didn't mention what Linux distro he's using and what are all of the OS-level configs he changed in the end of the day; I'd like to see that (was there any config not mentioned in the post?).

It's awesome that OP had lots of monitoring to guide him through the problem discovery and experimentation. I need more of this in my ECS setup. I didn't hop on the Prometheus train yet, by the way.

In the long term, do you think Go will be a good pick compared to any other language with better bindings or even C/C++?

Zappa is web-specific (API Gateway + Lambda). Gordon seems to be more generalist: it's for whatever you want to run on AWS Lambda.

I saw this 360 feature on Facebook and I loved it. Thanks for the library!

Re:OpenRoss – fast, scalable, on-demand image resizer on Monday June 23, 2014 @11:45AM (#7932553)
We use Thumbor at Yipit, and we are very happy with it. One thing that was not mentioned was extensibility... With thumbor it's easy to create new plugins and filters to extend your installation set of features.

We had detailed how we scaled thumbor at Yipit last year: http://tech.yipit.com/2013/01/03/how-yipit-scales-thumbnaili... The blog post doesn't mention S3, but we have a storage plugin that reads from and writes to S3.

Good library! It saves me a lot of time when I need to stub requests. The best part is that it works monkey patching the socket module, so it doesn't matter what is used behind the scenes to make the requests.

Thanks for writing that!

Re:Ask HN: What music do you like to listen to while you program? on Wednesday December 28, 2011 @10:49AM (#3400107)
Is is proven that any music/noisy sound distracts your attention and you get not realizing some details that you would if not listening to music. The book "Clean Coder" has a section about it...

edit: it is true for most people.
