That's the plan! The incumbent SaaS providers are effectively charging a premium over the underlying storage. Their business is really reselling storage. Removing that premium via a self-hosted system then greatly reduces the need to s

Just to answer the question about what metrics are included, you can write and read any kind of custom metrics and log data from your applications, and have to build useful dashboards yourself. When first deployed, the user tenants (you can

Yeah, anytime I hear "on-prem" deployment I think of my previous experience with getting a product deployed across a lot of different K8s environments. At the surface there are ostensibly common APIs, but the underlying components

Hi, this is Nick Parker from the Opstrace team. I personally have my own on-prem arm64/amd64 K3s cluster, including a basic 4-node Minio deployment, so I’m very interested in getting local deployment up and running myself. We’re a smal

Ragel supports Go output. There's been some recent fixes according to the mailing list, so you may need to get a recent version straight from git: http://www.complang.org/pipermail/ragel-users/2013-February/...

So, I rarely see eg Java code that actually handles the exceptions it receives. Usually its just "Oh, I got an exception, so I'll print an error (or silently fail) and blindly keep going". Given this, I don't see how Go is any worse with

I would not be surprised if the patent office itself used this method for filing patent information in various DBs.

An investor is best served by keeping things as simple as possible. The most they should be concerned with is the simple ratio of stocks/bonds/cash that meets their risk tolerance and time horizon. This can be easily determined through some

I dunno, you can buy 5 $35 raspberry pis for the price of one $200 pandaboard. $200 approaches the territory of being plausibly enough to build or purchase a full PC.

I love my TI-89, which I got ~7 years ago for college physics/astro classes, and still use fairly often when the need arises, typically once or twice a month. I find the interface of a physical calculator to be far superior to a more genera

The result is a dramatically increased page load performance that only works between Chrome (as it includes SPDY support) and Google’s servers (which supports the features for Google sites.) Reminds me a lot of MS's strategy of adding inc

You'll be much better off if you're well-practiced in ignoring those people. I think choosing your tools solely out of trends and peer pressure would also send a message, but it wouldn't be a favorable one.

As far as I can tell the author's reasons for deciding to use C# can be summed up as "I'm used to it from previous work, and some useful libraries related to my project are available." Those are perfectly valid reasons, but they aren't real

This hasn't been my experience at all in my own work. While I don't subscribe to the extreme 'unit test every single function' mindset, I definitely find unit testing to be useful for checking the consistency of key functionality on a per-m

Whenever I get one of those discount cards from a pharmacy/grocery store (CVS, Price Chopper, Safeway, etc), I hand out the duplicates to random people just to stick it to the man. I do end up with 'interesting' coupons every so often. It's

FWIW the author claims this in the FAQ: This is cool and all, but you aren’t the owner of any of these logos. Aren’t you going to be in deep trouble? Trademarks need to be renewed fairly often. Even old logos from companies still in busine

These look great, though I'm not sure I can justify $25 each on tshirts.. Also, I think this is the first time I've seen a .biz that wasn't spam-related (or is it?!?!)

They're not seeking to modify the code for everyone, only to get a special exemption for themselves.

I think the degree of special treatment Twitter is seeking from SF is disproportionate to the number of jobs they actually provide.

Machined brass? That's gonna be heavy, and wouldn't any scratches through the finish eventually develop tarnish? When seeing the headline, I was hoping for something more like "John's Phone", except minus the flaws with its switches and but

With regard to 2, I don't care so much about compile speed (within reason) as I do about the speed of the produced binary. How fast is the output?

In my opinion, someone truly living an amazing awesome life wouldn't have time to advertise it on Facebook. But it might be that I have a different definition of such a life.

When Google first introduced their text ads, it was in an era when other ads were commonly popups, huge banners, and flash with sound. Their text ads were quite nice compared to the competition. They've loosened up a bit since then, though.
