I love SQLite (and use it in a large number of places in our application stack!), but I feel that it suffers from a case of bad defaults. To name a few: - Foreign key checking (and cascading deletion for that matter) are turned off by defau

AWS provides you with a number of DNS records for each NLB: - One record per zone (which maps to the EIP for that zone) - A top-level record that includes all active zones (these are all zones you have registered targets in, IIRC) The latte

Author here - let me know if you have any questions! (whether that's about using Supercronic... or making regular cron work in containers)

Yes, you're entirely correct; that's actually what I meant by "provided the Kernel can represent [it]" (albeit perhaps not very clearly!). Cheers,

(Note: the following is only applicable to Linux) The default for overcommitting on Linux is heuristic; it doesn't always succeed: if you try and allocate several exabytes or RAM, allocation will definitely fail (in fact, trying to

Unfortunately it looks like the distros have not been particularly diligent about releasing a fix via the security channel (according to the article), so this PPA is a workaround

Note: if you're using Ubuntu, there is a semi-official PPA that has a non-vulnerable version (2.7.3): https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

This means "install the `requests` package with the `security` extras. In this particular case, this installs 'pyOpenSSL>=0.13', 'ndg-httpsclient', 'pyasn1'. See: https://github.com/kenn

This principle doesn't necessarily mean functions should never return booleans, though. Booleans are used in a variety of (popular) Python libraries when checking whether a password is correct (e.g. Django's `check_password` ret

Quick disclaimer: I'm the author of Tini (thanks for the hat tip, by the way!). Note that for interactive usage, Tini actually hands over the tty (if there is one) to the child, so in that case signals that come "from the TTY&quot

While not as common as nounset and errexit, pipefail is a useful option as well (set -o pipefail). Using pipefail, if any program in a pipeline fails (i.e. exit code != 0), then the exit code for the pipeline will be != 0. E.g. pipefail c

Ha, interesting trick! : ) The GitHub API allows up to 5,000 requests per hour. I currently poll once an hour, so there's a bit of headway. If that becomes a problem, I think I can always space out checks for less-active repositories (

Indeed, not yet! Private repo support would require authenticating with GitHub, which makes the project a bit more complex. I definitely plan to add this if there's enough interest. There should be a link to a mailing list to be notifi

Ha, this is a great idea! I've added this now :). Just reload.

I made this mainly to scratch my own itch :). It's slightly more convenient for me to get a notification than to periodically pull repositories and check them for changes, but I understand that might not be the case for everyone!

Here's the email I got inviting me to re-post the story. That's all I know : ) Hi there, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10690114 looks good, but didn't get much attention. Would you care to repos

These are great points; thanks for your feedback! :) I'm trying to validate whether there's any interest in something this, so I definitely cut a lot of corners (e.g. the app doesn't maintain a copy of the repository — it jus

Locust is really focused on load tests (rather than acceptance tests). It's an alternative to ab rather than one to a headless browser. You definitely wouldn't use Locust to test a UI, or even to test your API responds correctly,

It seems like you're limited to 25 concurrent lambda functions executing (at least at this time). This looks like it's more geared towards enabling you to automate / orchestrate your AWS resources, that run customer-facing co
