I have tried to find a CDN provider which would offer access control similar to Cloudfront's signed cookies but failed to find something that would match it. This is a major drawback with these providers offering S3 style bucket storage because most of time you would want to serve the content from a CDN and offloading access control to CDN via cookies makes life so much easier. You only need to set the cookies for the user's session once and they are automatically sent (by the web browser) to the CDN with no additional work needed

Thanks for sharing the post, it was intriguing. The detailed comments mentioned in `main.zig` and `build.zig` towards the end helped a lot.

Sounds interesting, is it open source? I am interested in seeing how the code layout looks like when mixing Zig and Elixir

Show HN: Control Node – Elixir library to build your own orchestration service

https://github.com/beamX/control-node

Hi HN, I am sharing this Elixir library which enables building your own service orchestrator. It's best suited for building orchestrators that need to deploy small to medium size of Elixir services nodes. It can also deploy services written in other languages (with some caveats).

Are you able to share which provider do they use for their rack setup?

This! One day laptop manufactures (excluding Apple) will understand that a vibrant colorful display is much desired by customers than a 1080p matt finish display.

Okay! I assumed it was part of some popular font out there. Thanks

I would like to know which font is this (https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/img/knowledge/glossary/terms/sty...) . I have tried to search but I am not sure how to actually find this info.

True, it has to be used as encryption cracking software! :D
Re:Firefox desktop market share now below 9% on Tuesday December 04, 2018 @06:01AM (#18598275)
Reading this breaks my heart. I have been a Firefox user for almost a decade now and I have good and bad memories with it. Since Quantum release my experience with FF has been nothing but exceptional. On a general day I have around ~15 pinned tabs and more than 50 other tabs open and FF handles it like a breeze. The memory usage is good given the fact that my workload is heavy. On a dual-core machine, I am able to restart FF under ~3 seconds.

I have read comments in this thread suggesting that FF's performance is not that snappy but I cannot seem to notice any difference. Maybe my dev senses are not that strong ... maybe the benchmarks do show a difference but I have never felt FF to be any less performant than Chrome.

I am tired of listening to people screaming their lungs out about privacy when their actions don't reflect their opinions.

That moment when you need to fix a product before you can get a date!

Anyways is it open source :D

Re:Getting started with OTP: creating process families on Wednesday October 21, 2015 @02:39AM (#10424013)
Process spawning is cheap in Erlang so you can spawn a new process for each incoming request. Cowboy does something similar to this. If you don't want to spwan a process for each request then you can have a worker pool (like poolboy) to respond to the requests.
I have been learning and using Erlang for quite sometime and it's syntax was one of the attractive part for me, short and concise. But it has always confused me why people keep praising Elixir for the break through they made with its syntax !
Yes, its a general purpose monitoring solution. Currently I don't have the permissions to change the description but will try to get it changed tough.
couldn't understand your idea. can you please elaborate ?
I also discuss the architecutre of Grapherl here, https://medium.com/@kansi/erlang-otp-architectures-grapherl-...
Grapherl is realtime scalable stats gathering daemon which can handle high amount of incoming data points (~1 million data points per minute per socket). It also provides a web dashboard that allows the users to visualize graphs for gathered stats.

Grapherl: Erlang/OTP based stats gathering daemon

Grapherl (https://github.com/processone/grapherl/tree/dev) is realtime scalable stats gathering daemon which can handle high amount of incoming data points (~1 million data points per minute per socket). It also provides a web dashboard that allows the users to visualize graphs for the stored stats. Try it out !
