Ask HN: Satisfaction with Applicaiton Monitoring
I'm considering developing an application monitoring solution based on my experiences in a critical microservices infrastructure. Problem is, my anecdotal experience isn't everything. As a result, I would love to hear your thoughts on your current monitoring solution(s). What do you love, what do you hate?

Do you get woken up too much in the middle of the night? (Signal/Noise). Deployment success/issues? Cost? Do you care about egress of data to a 3rd party?

Thanks
you're not required to do humanities/liberal arts at US universities?
LXC is more natural if you expect docker to behave like a VM.
No, the Brit thought he was scheduling it for 3pm on his wall clock, because he thought "GMT means the time we use here in London" but London was actually using BST that day. Source: have seen this from many many coworkers who should know better.
I was referring to the “boot camps” that have popped up and not so much universities (where you are required to do those things, yes).
It's been a while since I played with btrfs but it was really nice to be able to dynamically add hard drives of any size to a volume and have the filesystem seamlessly balance the data between the drives with the requested replication factor.
In the US, lay people don't care about whatever formal meaning it has as a title. It's often used for any instructor at a college level.

(I guess not any instructors because there are TAs and the like, but people leading lectures or similar)
Different countries and different schools define "professor" differently. The lowest rank in the US is often called "adjunct professor", which is a part-time position with no research requirements. Adjunct professors often only have masters degrees, as well.

I don't think there's one single definition of "professor" that is true around the world.

The pausing solution is incorrect, but to say you could never use the word is also incorrect. See "keeper" such as "keeper return".
“A friend once asked me to watch a video with her that she was going to display on her computer using Netflix. I declined, saying that Netflix was such a threat to freedom that I felt uncomfortable with legitimizing it in this way.”
Did anyone think the op is intentionally mocking himself? or have I lost touch with reality
Why a disservice? Based on your comment that's not clear.
12 years ago, it was Kohl whom my 15 year old self found to be a starting point for new breed of politicians and the trend of "more populism with each election" that lasted to this day

I found a startling continuity in electoral platforms of Kohl-Chirac-Sarco. They had one thing in common: they did not really had anything constituing a political platform. They all had slight populist tones in their campaigns, well every politician have these, but what was more important to note is that they really had nothing else besides very weak, generic, politically-amorphous "we will spend more on this, less on that la la la."

Basically, their message to the electorate was nothing more than their smiling faces on billboards, and a promise of "more free bacon after you elect me"

And this promise of "free bacon" was only getting more and more accepted.

And with time, Western political cultures degenerated to a point where anything, but a discourse of "what kind of free bacon you want this time" became irrelevant.

The moment this happened, the clique I call "ultrapopulists" rushed on to the forefront. I think that was well expected: if all buyers in a beer shop are pathologic alcoholics, it makes sense to just to sell the strongest, cheapest, unrefined booze you have. In other words: alcoholics do not come to a liquor store for a craft beer. And the same phenomenon is now happening in Western politics
That second link you posted was excellent. It's a very cutting criticism.

"When the Analog Research Lab posts a picture of Dolores Huerta on the walls of a company whose engineers have no unions, it demonstrates its own power to transform the most embodied and institutionalized political movements into acts of decontextualized expression. On a poster, Dolores Huerta’s image becomes a sign, emptied of its history, and repurposed. A picture that might once have inspired marches in the street by impoverished farm workers now offers wealthy engineers an opportunity to celebrate the variety of identities their company embraces. In the workplace, that embrace may mean a more diverse set of em- ployees. Online, it means a larger, more varied set of communities and social experiences to mine."
This is sad. It should be an option when using 1x displays.
Right. A lot of emotional support comes from touch and tone of voice, things you can't transmit via text. In text, your tools are limited to choosing your words and maybe emoticons (if you normally don't use them). The former is more powerful than the latter, because it takes more effort, and what one needs to communicate primarily is proof that you care.

For example, if this person is expressing doubts about their ability to do something they must, maybe you can express to them why you think they are able by describing the positive qualities you've observed in them (you've taken notice because you care about them) that sets them up to achieving it. If you also think they're unable, maybe it's still a good idea to fail to learn from the experience. You can explain how this sets them up for growth. If it's really bad to fail, maybe you can somehow help them in the task. Even if it doesn't ensure success, increasing the chances a little is often great. Presence can also be very powerful, even if you don't do anything besides being there.

Another example, if they express regret over a difficult choice they made and later saw was wrong, you can remind them that it's not fair to judge their decision after seeing the results. After all, their past self couldn't see the future, and made the best decision they could with the information they had available at the time. The best they can do is learn from it and move forward from that point.

Anyway, originality is key. Otherwise, it seems like a generic copy-and-paste response, and that's not effort.

EDIT: added to the first example.
Lol if it’s not satire then I don’t know what it is
I usually return to it an hour or two later.
> How could we make different choices?

By exercising our free will. By having the courage to stand up and say, "Yeah, I get that we have a huge investment in Perl code, but Perl really sucks so how about we do this new project in Python instead? Or Scheme? Or Common Lisp?" Or, "Yeah, I get that we can get it done faster by doing it in Java, but that will incur a huge amount of technical debt, and also make it so that the really cool kids, the ones who get why Java sucks, won't want to work for us. So how about we make an investment in our future and try Clojure or Scala or Rust instead?" If enough people do that, eventually one of these overtures will get a green light. Whatever organization does that first will eventually accrue a competitive advantage, and that will in the fullness of time change the dynamic.

But it won't happen if no one even tries.

Which identifiers did it rename that you think should have been kept?
No, pausing will not prevent the word being recognized as a command in Voicecode. However, you can tell VC to ignore commands and just treat what's spoken as regular text. The command "keeper" will do this.
Yes, it's my own term. I'm still developing what it means to me. You can find my evolving definition here:

https://philosopher.life/#Applied%20Computational%20Existent...

Currently, it reads:

"Applied Computational Existential is the scientific method loaded with a profound respect for metaphysics applied to my fundamental existential problems. The goal is to balance my self-dialectic with empirical bottom-up reasoning and rationalist top-down modeling from a transcendental realist's position in epistemology and ontology. This is an assay in teleology based on the assumption that the physical world and my mind are almost entirely reducible to computational models while humbly accepting that the final telos of reality exists in metaphysics."
When the model predictions are deterministic and easy to observe, the null hypothesis is not needed. When model predictions are statistical, then, you want to answer the question: how "likely" is this model, given the data? Answering that with a probability (as would be done in a Bayesian approach) is hard because there is no natural "space of models" over which to compute that probability. So, in the frequentist approach, you check whether the data is sufficiently more likely to have resulted from your model, rather than the null hypothesis model. The "sufficiently more likely" is quantified by a p-value.
Ask HN: How to get a job without even getting an interview?
I'm constantly working on my CV and trying my best to write cover letters.
I know I have ability to impress most interviewers with my own way of thinking,
my technical skills, and 5-years professional experience.

The only problem right now is that I can't even get an interview. I'm pretty
sure this is just about me being a Turkish Citizen. I've tried to apply with a
reference, by online tests, etc. I currently have 130+ applied jobs in my list
and only got 2 interviews after which they found excuses about not to offer
because it's hard to deal with visa issues I guess..

How can I get over it, what are the ways to get an interview for a job with
visa support?
Facebook's guidelines were 25% confidence they could pass an onsite and they would be given one.

I'd personally rather give the candidate AND the company a chance at hiring a potential candidate than missing out on one. The longterm impact on your company is huge.
It's fun to see a bunch of super intelligent tech geeks talk about economics and social science.

seriously some of you have great points, and others are on glue.
Without giving us a hint of what those anti-patterns are, your comment is quite useless. There seems to be tacit agreement among most participants of this discussion that both Docker and LXC have their place, for different use cases. You seem to be saying something different. Could you elucidate?
Holding tight to 'all that legacy crap' is what makes Windows the de facto standard for desktop.

Despite people trying to insist on it being business practices from twenty years ago, the simple fact is that Microsoft dominated, and still dominates, bc of backwards compatibility, a lesson that Apple has never learned (or never cared to learn) and why they will never have more than a few percent market share on the desktop.

And despite the gossip bloggers constant nonsense, the desktop market is still be much alive and thriving.

While those are true in some cases, in others layers slow down the build process and increase the total download size. It really depends on what is being built and how it is distributed if layers have an advantage, make no difference, or are at a disadvantage.

Does anyone know exactly when Google decided to become the pearl-clutching Tipper Gore of search engines? We had a similar problem a long time ago with Google and it seems like it hurt our page rank at the time. There was nothing legislative that would have had any influence at the time, so it has to be coming internally, and from fairly high in the food chain.
My university had some 1 and 2 credit hour classes in physical education. It maybe required 3, I don't remember. But people took those classes for fun, to fill out a schedule, etc.
> No, of course not. If you phrase it like that, that is

But that's what it is, that's not just clever phrasing on my part.

> HiDPI won't just avoid a regression, it'll improve your experience, period.

I get that, but if I wanted to spend money on that improvement I would do that. The point is my choice is no longer between maintaining my current standard or upgrading, its between regressing my current standard or upgrading.
If you are building a small webapp where the difficulty is in WebSocket, updating a small user interface, etc... then maybe. But some sites require different things. You can't run a large eCommerce site with hundreds of sections/styles and not use CSS preprocessors or CSS architecture.

CSS could get more sophisticated than any React work. You can fix yourself with small patches but if you have thousands of pages this can't happen. It becomes suicidal and unfixable (you'll need to rework the whole CSS to SCSS and have a CSS architecture).
No, it’s just a title. Directional State University will have professors because they have a status hierarchy and titles are a significant part of that, and the total compensation.

As I understand the US system for four year universities

TOP
Professor with an endowed chair
University or Full Professor

Associate Professor (They have tenure and time in position)

Assistant Professor (They don’t have tenure. This is their first job and they want tenure here.)

BOTTOM
Visiting Assistant Professor (They got denied tenure at a higher ranked university than they currently teach at and want tenure at that university or another one of similar rank.)

Adjunct Professor
Someone with a non-academic job, expertise or position who teaches a university course because they enjoy doing so. Also a deluded holder of a Ph.D. who thinks this is still a part of academia. It is not. That is why it is below the bottom. These people are highly qualified, poorly compensated casual labour, desperately clinging to hope of an academic career after this makes any sense.
> But for all its warts and problems, if anyone wants to get rid of anonymity, then it's their job to come up with an alternative implementation. Part of supporting free speech is figuring out how to practically guarantee it in the real world, the rest is just wishful thinking.

I used to agree with this religiously. But now i'm not so sure. Anonymous speech is great for countering authoritarian regimes. It's great in China, Russia, North Korea. But those countries don't have freedom of speech in the first place. I'm all for anonymity technology there.

But in places that do have freedom of speech, what does anonymous speech really do for you? It seems to me that it mostly induces polarization. It encourages a certain kind of Overton-window stretching that has so far proved mostly toxic. I can't think of any examples to the contrary at the moment, though i'm sure a few must exist.

> Quick side note, but this is a very narrow reading of free speech that I expect many people would disagree with. The function of free speech is to facilitate a person's fundamental right to share and explore ideas. Limiting the power of the government is a means to that end, not the other way around.

Ok, yes, in a certain sense that is true. I don't mean "the reason people ought to be allowed to speak". But moreso, "the reason we ought to enshrine free speech in a constitution, making it especially difficult for even our democratic government to alter or amend". I think the reason you want the latter is because in a democracy, an informed public is essential. If the government has the power to limit speech, they have the power to reshape voting behavior in their own image, which short-circuits the meaning of democracy.
Genuinely curious if you know: Has there been any effort to revisit this in recent years? I'm curious given the rise of China + Russia in the Arctic and China's demonstrated belligerence in the Indo-Pacific. [1,2]

As someone with experience teaching younger people (middle school students) programming, I have also seen this three-way split, though it may not be an even one.

1. Learners who will succeed, regardless of the amount and nature of instruction.

2. Learners who will not be able to grasp the material, due to lack of engagement, interest, self-efficacy, or some other related factors that cannot easily be fixed in a one-to-many classroom setting.

3. Learners who will succeed with the right kind of instruction, but will flounder without it.

Effective instructors try to gauge who falls into the third category, and then concentrating their efforts on these individuals.

Back in the mid-80's my local CCs were teaching COBOL, JCL and Fortran. Probably because of that mainframe they had chilling in the server room.

Personal computer courses were non-existent, except for one day "How To Use Your PC or Apple" class.
So the Apple philosophy is, "when things get hard, don't bother, just walk away and abandon your current customers"? Sounds like a real winner.
> It's a weird quirk of web development, not shared by any of the other kinds of front end development I've been exposed to in the ~22 years I've been shipping code, that "pro" UI has to be done from scratch.

Back in the 2004-2008 these frameworks were not well maintained and their coverage (the amount of elements/styles) they have was very small. They also were, uh, pretty ugly. I think that what made my opinion about them at the time.

But things have changed. Bootstrap now is well used, maintained and you can purchase professional styles for it.
I certainly prefer Linux over native OS X as my development environment, if I ignore the issue of using the hardware.

In particular, with OS X I never need to worry about video drivers, switching dGPU on/off, etc. just to use my laptop in typical ways.
I concur. Abolish now.
It makes sense to pick a timezone that aligns winter daylight with working hours. Daylight is abundant during summer though, so switching is pure stupidity.
Pretty sweet. I wish this and the other 10 DIY/programmable mobile consoles would make it into mass market (toy?) stores. For years, this market has only been making circles in a tiny part of the geekosphere It’d be great to get it in the hands of everyone and then see what happens. Im sure you’ll get a surge of indie developers making and sharing games and kids in school showing off their latest creations.
I once interviewed at Apple many years back. Personal interviews with 19 people over 2 days! Well a few of them were in pairs (I presumed they were training their engineers to interview also.) I didn't make it through however not for technical reasons but cultural fit (maybe I didn't act fanatical enough about Apple products?)
> What I’ve noticed over the years is that if you allow yourself to get in the habit of writing quick and dirty code you learn the wrong habits and gradually lose the ability to write correct code for complex problems

As the original commenter who started this thread, I'd like to make it clear that I agree with you and I don't write quick and dirty code. Or at least very rarely. Even for stuff that has a very short shelf life, I write code that usually has very few bugs and that I'm usually proud of because of exactly what you said: I've done it so often it's a habit now.

I've always strived to write the best quality code possible within the constraints. Sometimes those constraints were even my own lack of knowledge. But after three decades of doing this I'm starting to think I'm actually getting to be pretty good at it. ;-)

So I wasn't suggesting to just write bad code in my original comment. Just to have a broader view of where quality goals sit within the many competing stakeholder requirements. A programmer who doesn't let perfect be the enemy of good is a better programmer.
If this trend is real it will be really good for social mobility.

You value precise and simple language, but other people value other things like clarity and brevity. It’s a tradeoff. Making something precise can mean adding extra words which sometimes, paradoxically makes it less clear and more difficult to understand. Even in extremely formal contexts like mathematical papers, it's inappropriate to be completely precise because it gets in the way of communicating ideas. And if we strongly preferred simple language, we would use https://simple.wikipedia.org/ instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/

The original statement is clear from context, since the literal meaning is semantically impossible (monitors are incapable of suffering).
All these recent news regarding patents are starting to worry me.
Companies can patent every little idea even if they don’t plan on putting resources to such ideas and prevent small companies from ever taking off ?
True, though certainly its employees are paying taxes. Netflix reported a profit of $558.9 million on 2017 and is on Pace to blow that out of the water this year. You're saying none of that was taxable? I get that there are plenty of ways to avoid paying taxes on profits, but really, they paid _nothing_?

It's all rather beside the point anyway. Saying that Netflix privdes no individual or societal benefit is just wrong.

RenderMan traces ray streams of a few thousands rays (at least not millions like Disney's Hyperion), right? Does that really help that much with reducing the shading costs? It probably makes a large difference for shading the initial hit point, but nowadays it's not uncommon to trace paths of more than 10 bounces. It seems very unlikely to me that it gives a significant speed-up with that level of incoherence and the high complexity of production scenes.
