Ask HN: Newrelic alternatives after free tier goes away
Hi all. I'm just wondering what some of you are leaning towards now that Newrelic is about to shutdown it's free tier monitoring solution...which depending on the project size used to be just fine (1 day data retention)?

Thank you.
But the idea is great. I bet it will reappear with success in the future.
I'm fairly certain the word is of either Persian or Arabic origin. It probably came to the subcontinent during one of the numerous invasions by Arabic or Turco-Persian conquerors in the Middle Ages [1]. You'd be surprised how many words Hindi/Urdu and Turkish (or Farsi) have in common.

You should write tests when building a project in a dynamically typed language to alleviate some paranoia anyway. As long as you have decent test coverage and use a decent linter/formatter such as StandardJS[0] or prettier[1], you'll be fine.

> Yes there is. The primary method of argument is proof.

Only in logic, I think. Is there proof in ethics? (which is not to say that I think it is an invalid field of discourse.) One can demand internal consistency in a philosophical argument, but not necessarily proof.

In the interminable squabbles over consciousness and the mind, the physicalists and the dualists each seem to think they have ruled out their opponents' position, but they can't both be right.

"The Dark Sky Places program offers five types of designations:

...

International Dark Sky Parks

Parks are publicly- or privately-owned spaces protected for natural conservation that implement good outdoor lighting and provide dark sky programs for visitors.

International Dark Sky Reserves

Reserves consist of a dark 'core' zone surrounded by a populated periphery where policy controls are enacted to protect the darkness of the core."

But not getting caught means you have gained the understanding when a situation is worth taking the risk. And this is something that you learn from experience and an important skill in life. It is not about cheating or the level therof. Only to understand situations where rules are in place and getting a feeling for when to follow them and when to break them. I think this is something very important to learn.
You know what, I actually hadn't' thought about it and I think you make a very good point.

Can't cite, but last I read was that rule of law in Saudi Arabia was very arbitrary. Like if you actually had the wits and bravery to challenge something you could easily poke holes in the states arguments or due process, such as family court judge may be deciding case law in unrelated matters.

Spoiler alert

They conclude that Switzerland is the best system in the world.

But different judges seem to have different priorities and it's clear that at least some of them are judging not the best healthcare system in terms of just cost or quality of care, but on how feasibly the foreign system could be implemented in the United States.

In any case, it's a stupid metric. Unless there was a single healthcare system that had the best healthcare at the lowest cost, which I think is the combination that most people are looking for, there is clearly no objectively "best" system. Even determining things like quality care in the first place is difficult.

Still, it was interesting to read comparisons of the various countries' health systems. It's a worthwhile read.

How do you think a lock-free map works?

Pretty much every fundamental lock-free data structure is built around pointers. It's true that a static array can work if you're willing to commit to a fixed size up-front (and pre-allocate that entire fixed size), but that is often too limiting for practical use.

> This is also ignoring the issue that global heap memory allocation locks anyway, so allocating a new object is already taking a lock every time.

Any memory allocator optimized for multi-threaded performance will have a thread-local or CPU-local cache that can allocate without taking a lock.
Lacking an exact measure that we can all agree on, "influential" is kind of subjective. So I'll contribute with my subjective opinion: Paul Graham's essays are (collectively) among the highest quality content that I have found on the Internet. They are the opposite of click-bait and attention-spam. I don't agree with everything Paul writes, but so far I have never regretted spending the time to read one of his essays. This is rare in today's Internet environment. I can only think of Scott Aaronson and a few others who are comparable. But to repeat myself, this is my subjective opinion.

I don't think dismissing something you know to be true as "business as usual" helps. There's nothing misleading about the title: they are suing to prevent disclosure. Just because the immediate notion of lawsuit that comes to mind is associated with recuperation of damages doesn't make the title false.

Sounds like reading white papers and RFCs to me.

The same. Just check how much transpilers and leftpad like libraries a JS Hello World app needs!

HHVM & Hack solved two big problems that made PHP difficult for Facebook and other large companies with large existing PHP codebases: Speed, and the lack of type checking

Now the PHP ecosystem is more mature – PHP 7 eliminated the speed differences between HHVM and PHP, and a bunch of static analysis tools find 95% of the bugs that HHVM's typechecker finds.

It makes sense that this would be an inflection point for the future of HHVM.

I hope that more features from HHVM make it into PHP core – especially property types and generics – because, whatever FB decides to do with HHVM, PHP is here for the long-haul.

I agree with this. But note that people disagreeing with the author's actions are not necessarily against the killing of animals that threaten your livestock: this is a necessary reality. The issue is that this author does so in an apparently irresponsible, inhumane way. It is not necessary to torture animals.

Really welcome, although per millisecond would be better.

It's now possible to boot operating systems in milliseconds and have them carry out a task (for example respond to a web request) and disappear again. Trouble is the clouds (AWS, Google, Azure, Digital Ocean) do not have the ability to support such fast OS boot times. Per second billing is a step in the right direction but needs to go further to millisecond billing, and clouds need to support millisecond boot times.

If you read universally accepted classical philosophers most of their work are not precise at all, yet they are widely recognized.

Actually, a lot of philosophy is "arguable". I don't think you can argue a lot with a mathematical proof.

And I'm sorry, but when Lacan compare the penis to square root of -1, it's hard to come back to scientists and sell the rigor of philosophy. Same when philosophers use and abuse Gödel's incompleteness theorems or the quantum observer effect to justify ludicrous claims.

Two sentences for better meetings
Colloquially, 'murderer' is a term used to emphasis the act of killing. It is only challenged when someone requires defending the actions of another by pointing out that murder is a legal term. An unnecessarily pedantic deflection at best.

People that use the term murderer already know that the state wouldn't get a conviction.
The problem is inside the lock-free queue. How do you remove something from a lock-free queue? Usually by reading a pointer to the queue node, then doing a CAS to remove the node from the queue. But another thread can remove that same node and free it before you can do the CAS!

If you're just using a lock-free queue, then the hardest part of the problem has been solved for you already. But the person who wrote the lock-free queue had to think about and solve these really tricky problems.

1) Caddy has never had OCSP outage problems. When LE's OCSP responders went down for a day a few months ago, Caddy was the ONLY server that kept sites online (unless nginx was explicitly configured for it; almost all Apache sites with it went down, including gnu.org).

2) Ours is the only LE client built directly into the web server, so "reliability" isn't really a comparable factor. By doing renewals automatically, Caddy's HTTPS implementation is more reliable and robust than doing it manually.

> I believe there's a gray, ambiguous spectrum of acceptability, and that somewhere down the line there are opinions which incite (or consist in) violence, which inspire malice, and which are overtly harmful.

That's the reason why we have free speech rights ( in america at least ). So that people can't use and exploit the "gray" as an excuse to censor everyone.

> A line between "disgusting, but acceptable" and "reprehensible" can carefully be drawn to not permit these terrible ideas to be promulgated.

If the ideas are terrible, they should be promulgated and shown for all to see.

Actually, technology makes suppression of speech easy.

Part of farming responsibly is anticipating these problems before they happen and knowing how to deal with them.

If you need to kill animals to safeguard your livestock, and you don't have a method of killing them humanely, then you have already abdicated your responsibility and shouldn't be farming.

> Our species has been killing animals for thousands of years.

Thankfully our species has made some progress over the last few thousand years, and most of us are lucky to no longer be in the position where cruelty is unavoidable in order to survive. A lot of progress can still be made, but we can't use the past to excuse the actions of the present.
> A BB gun should not be shot at anything alive. You will only injure the animal, causing pain and suffering.

Speaking as someone who has actually killed a possum with a BB gun, I agree that you should definitely not shoot it in the ass with a single-pump Daisy air pistol. However, a high-end, high-FPS, multi-pump air rifle is fine for taking out an animal that size, as long as you can get a clean head shot. I've actually seen someone kill an adult raccoon with one shot from a 20-caliber pellet gun.

Having read this headline I was hoping that they are doing something more 'vanilla': just good old Javascript for the core logic, HTML5 with data attributes describing the markup of an app and CSS3 to for styling.

Instead they announce switching from Angular to Web Components before they ship a stable version of their current framework. It's great for doing really basic applications - but if it's getting into serious business their framework is just too buggy and the incredible demand to rewrite the whole app in pure JS becomes overwhelming.

I disagree that Ionic has found the end of the framework churn. What stays is a mixed feeling of a click bait. At least to me.
SBCL is a very interesting compiler. I can only encourage anyone, who is interested in Lisp or dynamic languages in general to check it out. It always compiles to native code, and as the article has shown, you can see what it compiles to. That gives you direct feedback how good the resulting code is.

By default, SBCL always generates "correct" code. That of course means for a dynamically typed language, that it has to assume any type. Also, for integer operations, it means, still producing a correct result, even if the integers exceed the values which can be represented by machine-sized integers. As a result, the generated code isn't overly impressive in the beginning. But SBCL has very high abilities to reason about the code, including type inferencing. So, when you add a few type declarations, the generated code gets substantially faster, often matching and sometimes even exceeding what GCC produces for C programs.

My mom (who lives on the 300 acre family farm) was complaining to my first cousin (who holds several state bow hunting records and at one time had a hunting show on cable TV) about how hard it was to keep the raccoons out of her vegetable garden.

"They would have eaten a lot more raccoon than you do" was his reply. And he was absolutely correct. Coon, possum, squirrel, and groundhog were all on the menu in my neck of the woods well after World War II.

Yes, you can be the initial owner and then add other people as owners (or admins). From there you could downgrade yourself to a regular user - or if they're owners, they could downgrade you.

They could also kick you out. I've done this a few times today. We reserved a number of team names for known tech companies, and when they've asked, I've created the team myself, added a couple of their managers as `owner`s, and then they've booted me.

You can think of the team's sigchain as just a string of signed announcements. You can sign someone else in as owner.
