Or you can view it as marketing spend. Getting lots of attention online from SWEs circa 2016 is far from a bad thing for a dev tools company.

That’s kind of like saying an IDE has no clear productivity benefit when authoring software. It’s an IDE for note-taking.

We're in a golden age of note taking so I'd check out some of the stuff in the "second brain" space. Obsidian, in particular, is like an IDE for notes that you can customize (e.g. note templates, YAML front matter, plugi

Going with the point re: cursor links, if your URLs look something like this then they would be shareable and more stable than page=11. ?startWith=<item_id>&sortBy=<alpha|datetimedesc|whatever>

A student or intern (first-year resident) doing your surgery in orthopedics would be pretty shocking. If that’s really the case you should be upset. In teaching hospitals in the US, orthopedics is a 5 year residency (after 4 years of med sc

I think you have that backwards. Asymptomatic infection with likely transmission (plus presyptomatic transmission) was a big characteristic of COVID since day one (and one of the reasons it’s so hard to contain compared to say, Ebola). Rese

AWS Fargate may be interesting as you can use containers but don’t need to manage VMs. There is support for scheduled tasks as well. I’d consider looking for convenience CLIs or wrappers on top.

Queue management, albums as first-class, actually useful social/discovery features—so much good. RIP Rdio.

FYI Kowloon refers to the peninsula part of Hong Kong which is incredibly, not to be confused with the removed walled city (the area of which is being redeveloped IIRC)

What kind of quality shoes? Good dress-y shoes can be resoled so they should last more than 4 years.

I used to like the aesthetics of naked domains but after having dealt with DoS issues and integrating a CDN, I'd say it's better not to use one for future flexibility. Since you (mostly) cannot use a CNAME for a naked domain, thin

Hey, I tried this out. There are some solid playlists in there. A couple things I found confusing: - I don't have flash installed in Safari (comes packaged in Chrome) and there was no explanation as to why music didn't play back w

We've had issues with saturated upstreams and then been negotiating new ISP connections. All the ISPs I've asked (Level3, NLayer, Cogent) won't put an active restriction to only CDN blocks upstream. The ISPs will help during

I see this issue a lot with blogs related to tracking companies (Mixpanel, for example). These companies are serving their blog CSS from the same hostname as they serve their tracking code, so Ghostery blocks it.

I'm not entirely sure why they say that since www.github.com is using Github's own BGP IP space whereas the CDN they're talking about is Fastly. In other words, github.com may not be on Fastly unless Fastly has built out sepa

You know, you're right but until I saw parent's comment I didn't realize why I found it hard to scan through the first page of the review. I wonder if orange is harder to scan through than a blue link with black text. And som

Hey, quick question: is there a way to make ngrok preserve the Hostname it passes to my local machine? E.g. we're using virtualhosts and I need the requests to hit my local host with the correct hostname.

It should be www., generally, unless you're a huge site and then you can do whatever you want (cf. Twitter) The reason I say this is for smaller operators who may not be running multicast'ed servers in 3+ geographical areas, then

This is pretty much Textmate to a T. Uses OS X conventions, heavily configured for doing real work out of the box instead of installing 10 packages, has a built-in system for language definitions and plugins. Auto-updates which will include

They tend not to post about interruptions on Twitter. In a lot of ways, they fail as an API-type service provider: * require you to use user:pass instead of keys * no historical service status page * poor notifications about downtime * uncl

No, not really. Sounds like you want to update the backend servers that your load balancer is proxying to while the load balancer is up? Can't you just create an internal network if you need IPs? I think this hinges on what you mean by the

I'm not terribly experienced with Nginx, but HAProxy was (and is) a load balancer first where Nginx is a server with load balancing abilities (same as Apache can, though it gets less love these days). HAProxy has pretty powerful HTTP suppor

Whoops! I definitely said SPDY and definitely meant the PROXY protocol ( http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt ) You can setup stunnel to terminate SSL then append this line to the request that's sent to HAProxy, which w

I actually think the basic docs are very good for going over theory. There's a more readable version of them on Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/haproxy-docs/wiki/HAProxy Beyond that, it depends how you're using (HTTP load balancing,

How much traffic are you pushing through it? I've been planning to set up stunnel + HAProxy on separate instances once we're comfortable going with 1.5, but am curious if we could get away terminating SSL on the same instance as HAProxy run

by scottbruin 14y ago
What exactly are you trying to do? Where in the chain are you hoping to terminate SSL? Do you need to inspect the traffic before load balancing it?

To add more, as well: we use HAProxy for deploying (tell it to take down nodes using the unix socket), we have it set up to meter requests to a machine just brought back online, and with one command we can route all traffic to a standby Apa
