Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Read it first when I was 16, at the recommendation of my literature teacher in high school. For the past... - darn, this was long ago! - ...more than 20 years, I've read it at least once a year, an

You know what would be amazing? Combining this with logic programming. (run 100 [box] (fresh [x y z] (randomo x) (randomo y) (randomo z) (locationo box x y z))) (Overly simplified and terrible DSL for it, but you get the idea!)

Is there anything like blessed + blessed-contrib for either of those? It'd be fairly trivial to write the bulk of potential-happiness in Java, if there was a display library like blessed + blessed-contrib in the JS world.

Author here. I'm running this in "production" (kinda, on laptop, looking at data from my own servers), and works for me. There are some annoying shortcomings, though, which I will fix, eventually. Among them is error reportin

Why do you need an URL shortener to begin with? (See http://joshua.schachter.org/2009/04/on-url-shorteners for some great reasons against them)

I remember http://lamsonproject.org/ being a python SMTP server library thing. It may be possible to piece together something based on it. That covers the SMTP part. Mind you, the git repo looks dead, with the last commit b

I assume this comment is related to the journal. The article is not. But, to reply: yes, many organisations have fully functional, well-debugged logging infrastructures. A lot of them also use binary log storage, and have been for over a de

I experimented with that, and heard others toying with the idea too. There are even products out there that do something similar.

Agreed. But if I keep my logs in a database, I may aswell use the database to query my logs, instead of grepping in them. (And voila, you have binary log storage.)

Why would I need to be able to parse everything up front? Taking the syslog example, that has a commonly understood format. As a default case, I can just split the parts and have structured data (esp. with RFC5424, where structured data is

With a binary log storage system, nothing stops you from browsing all logs that happened around the time of the incident. Instead of locating the files, you just tell the engine to show you the logs from that time onwards (or from a little

Please don't confuse log storage with log transport. We can transform the stored format into any other, if so need be. (For example, I use Kibana at home. Works great, though I have no text logs stored.)

The machines I'm administering will all log the same way, therefore, within that context, they are universal. We have well documented tools and workflows, so anyone new to the system can catch up and start working with the logs within

* Why would you need a proprietary tool? * What if they get broken? I don't want to look at them raw anyway. * Text logs are easy to corrupt as well. Oh, append only? Well, you can do that with binary storage too. And again, there is n

I've worked with a number of implementations, both embedded and others (ranging from a PC under my desk, through dozen-node clusters to ~hundred nodes). For most cases, binary storage triumphed. Most often, we kept text based transpo

My small system is usually two computers. Having a router/proxy/firewall box at home is not all that uncommon, and some examples I gave apply there nicely.

You're missing the point. I'm not using a custom logging format. I'm using binary log storage , with emphasis on the storage. There is a database and a search engine behind it. Logging format and log storage format are two v

Bringing a few extra tools for forensics should not be a problem. You bring grep, strings, less, and a bunch more to read text logs. Why not bring one more to read the binary dump too? I'm sorry, but I don't find the "but I c

Hy has macros, and they work fairly well. I'm using plenty of macros in Adderall, would not be possible without them. There are a few rough edges with Hy macros, mostly due to the underlying Python, but I at least, can live with that,

I have about a thousand lines of Hy in production, but sadly, that code is not open source. I am, however, working on porting a few Clojure libraries to Hy, those will appear on my github profile (github.com/algernon/) in the comi

I hate significant whitespace, and the syntax of Python (not enough parens; allows crazy oneline hacks with comprehension, yet still forces indentation otherwise; blindly following pep8 often results in horrible mess of a code, etc). Hy get

I've been using Hy for a while (in production too), and while it has its rough edges here and there, it is a million times more pleasant to use than python. But I hate python with a passion, so there's that. Bidirectional interop
