What about http://cacti.net/ ?
With Weathermap plugin it is quite good thing for performance monitoring. THold and Monitor plugins are for availability monitoring and alerting. It scales very good with Boost plugin, I had 3000+ hosts, 60000+ datasources with total poll time within one minute.

Many prefer Cacti to Zabbix because the latter is clunky and confusing compared to Cacti's simple straightforward approach with plugins.

But I am actually wondering, how alive is Cacti now, because its releases are constantly postponed, and forum is not as alive as it used to be.
I don't doubt that these restaurants might have authorized these companies to do this by signing a contract that they didn't read fully or understand. It may have been completely legal, but it's still taking advantage of these restaurants' lack of internet savvy and awareness. I spoke to them and 4 out of 4 were not aware they had authorized anything and asked me to fix it immediately. Each case varies in severity, but all the motives behind each of these cases could have been done strategically and in a way that did not compromise the restaurant's website traffic. They could add online ordering to their website. Their profiles were hijacked for a side agenda of the company who made the site.
What about an influx of black males who work in tech, or an influx of white/Asian females who work in tech? Would these groups be less contributory to the "office park culture", and why?
The form of government is the same, but the Chinese don't appear to follow the same communist ideology that every other communist government did in the 20th century, or indeed the same ideology that they themselves followed from Mao to Deng.

You hear about "democratic socialism", which is a democratic government that implements socialist policies. China has the opposite: a communist government that implements capitalist policies. Considering the abject failure of 20th century Soviet-style communism, it's not a foregone conclusion that the Chinese will follow that example.

People who want generics, to solve real problems, in Go are trolls?

Gosh that word has lost all meaning at this point.
So Emacs innovation is basically at a halt, then.
Some of this list is just plain incorrect.

For example, Rangoon Ruby in Palo Alto is a pale imitation of Burma Superstar in San Francisco, a restaurant is openly models itself after.

Claiming that the best independent coffeeshop is in MV is really going out on a limb and ignoring the myriad of amazing coffee houses in SF - like Sightglass or Blue Bottle.

As someone who's lived in the city and in Sunnyvale and Palo Alto and Menlo Park, I pretty much agree with every that jwz has said and not much has changed.

It's true that there are some great places on the peninsula, but there's no critical mass. And often those places are in a strip mall and severely lacking in ambiance and atmosphere.
I believe that the best of the AR systems coming up (because, let's be honest, this is a kind of AR), is CastAR. It gives the wearer the ability to see any CG object above/inside a given physical surface. It works using projectors mounted on glasses and a retro reflective surface (I.e., always reflects light the direction it came) to produce an image that only the wearer sees, at a distance, without straining eye focus. The possibilities, apart from the marketed board games scenario, are endless and I can't wait to get my hands on one!
And to add to the point above, Yelp ratings are not well-normalized across markets. The things that people care about in the 'burbs is different than in the city and places get voted up or down for odd reasons.

For example, Joya in Palo Alto is a pretty amazing restaurant but only gets 3.5 stars. The Cheesecake Factory (which is a pretty crappy chain) gets a 5. This is not really good data.
Nope.

... and, honestly? Not much has changed. The cultural zeitgeist of both SJ and SF are very much the same.
seems a little sketch to me to be creating external domains which would be competing with the main website. like having bar pintxo's menu on a .org with google places linked to it and being ranked #1 on google. i don't see many restaurant owners agreeing to that. its one thing to have the menu under a subdomain its quite another to be competing for the same traffic. seriously?
Why 3D Doesn't Work and Never Will (2011)
>You don't need millions to make technology bets.

To become a household name as a genius capable of predicting the future you most certainly do.

>I'll tell you why. Things aren't so obvious when you have some skin in the game.

I'll tell you the real reason why: I make enough money to cover my living expenses, and that's about it. I am right about technology most of the time, but I don't have enough expendable income to afford ever being wrong. I'm not saying that I would be a wealthy investor if I obtained a few million dollars to get started with, there are a lot of other variables that determine how well suited a person is to that kind of work, and I'm fairly certain that its not for me.

I'm just saying that Jobs wasn't some kind of futurist demigod.
Wow, that's quite surprising! In Canada, I haven't seen a stovetop kettle in a while!
For me, doing what I love has meant learning a difference between "I love solving only this problem in this way" vs. "I love solving problems."

Saying I only love to solve certain problems in certain ways: .. greatly limits my ability to find something that I can be and stay passionate about, become the best at, and have enough of a financial engine to generate income.

Saying I love to solve problems, and learning how to solve problems.. is much closer to a sustainable first principle of "do what you love" for me. I can solve problems in many more situations. Whether it's helping someone solve a problem they've been doing manually, or a creative architecture.
Those groups are not emblematic of the startup culture. He's mentioning those races to make the point that the lack of diversity within that culture is so stark that membership in the set of startup tech employees virtually guarantees membership in the set of white or Asian males. He's not saying they are boring or undesirable because they are Asian or white.

If startup employees as a set were more racially/ethnically diverse it might defy that stereotype of uninteresting personalities. Or that might just decouple it from the racial predictability. Eg, in NYC I-Banking is a bit more diverse but still induces that same yawn -- in some people -- when you hear someone say that's the field they work in.

I see nothing that says that white and Asian males must be boring or uninteresting. This seems like as commonplace an observation as saying "when I go to areas of LA known for gang activity, I see many black and Latino males."

Scalatags 0.2.2 Released
Another restatement of the obvious. Hopefully the studies' data will help convince people once and for all that:

MONEY matters a lot, in all aspects of life: it makes people healthier (both physically and mentally), improves actual/usable creativity and intelligence, leads to better education and better social webs, ESPECIALLY when coupled with MORE FREE TIME (yes, it matters a lot that the Cherokee that got that money didn't have to spend more time working in order to get it).

Doing what you love matters, but until a certain wealth threshold, being better compensated for what you do (whether you like it or not) and having enough free time, matters more (an no, people that get more by working more don't get all the benefits of that "more" they get, it also matters to "get more by giving less").

I'm just confused at how having the Linode staff out of the office would have allowed the attack to go forward whereas having them in the office would have prevented the attack? Is there a Linode staff member who would have been watching in real-time for database connections to the server in question?

Perhaps the SWAT had nothing to do with making the attack easier, but was rather just something the attack did coincidentally as some kind of message or prank and has since taken credit for.
Is the only argument that Go users can come up with against generics is that they don't like the syntax?

Not really. If there aren't investors willing to buy your stock within a few minutes, there won't be any HFTs willing to buy either. HFTs just bridge that gap in time, for a fee.

I fully support language specialization -- that is kinda the point, it all ends up bits in the end. Rust is a completely different animal than Go yet I think both are awesome!

The idea that all languages have to cater to all people is silly. Generics are ALWAYS a trade-off. None is hard for developers, C++ style is terrible for compile (tons of code-gen, macro crap, duplication, de-duplication stages), and Java style (box-box-box-box) is slow at runtime.

The misunderstanding that generics are free and there lack of inclusion was an oversight rather than a choice is misguided. The Go team aren't fresh faced neophytes, they move with purpose.

Additionally -- if you want lots of features, there are LOTS of ways great languages for you! Leave the small, crazy cadre of people who don't mind C, think Lua is awesome and think Go is great to their (own) devices, we will be OK.
Not to detract from your point, but Burma Superstar has locations in Oakland and Alameda (Alameda almost never has a line) and Blue Bottle's roastery is in Oakland as well. Also Philz.

You could have probably gone with: a tribally (single culture or group) owned and operated business paying dividends to its members is likely to have different results than a welfare payment from a government where ownership is distant.

No. Google has a shuttle from there. Additionally, I know of one LinkedIn employee who live in Santa Cruz as well (but I don't think they have a shuttle from there yet).

A lot of confusion comes from regarding Clojure as a Lisp (in my opinion, to call Clojure a Lisp is the same fallacy as to call Ruby a Smalltalk) and especially thinking that Clojure is "what a Lisp should be".

On the contrary, beauty of Lisp comes from being accidentally discovered minimal set of unique interweaving features (very few special forms, high order procedures, list structure, to glue code and data together, macros, the way to use Lisp as a meta-language to itself, type-tagging of values, instead of declaring variables, and, the numeric tower, and lexical scooping, as recent addirion).

This set of features is very balanced and good-enough. Adding more "foreign" features actually ruins the balance.

Having "just this" and following the paradigm of layered DSLs embedded in a Lisp, popularized by SICP, lots of complicated things could be created, including CLOS which is nothing but a DSL (a bunch of macros and procedures).

This notion of what a Lisp is actually helpful to understand not just Clojure but also Haskell, which is, in some sense, also a small kernel based on Lambda Calculus and tons of syntactic sugar.

By adding more and more features without breaking the balance we got Common Lisp, while an attempt to keep the balance produced R5RS.

If we switch the perspective on what Clojure is to the notion of a scripting language for the JVM (a-la Ruby) with sometimes looks like a Lisp and sometimes behaves like a Lisp, but strictly speaking not a Lisp, because the unique balance was ruined by adding stuff, everything, it seems, falls into its places.

Arc is a dialect of Lisp, Clojure is language of its own, but marketed as a "modern dialect of Lisp", which makes no sense.
$90 isn't bad, I paid $200 for one that steeps the tea as well.

It costs that much because I'd rather pay $200 than spend my weekend making a kettle (producer surplus). Next thing you know someone will be wondering why drinks cost $10 for $1-2 worth of ingredients.

If you want to save money just use a pot and boil the water in that, it's not like you really need a purpose built device for boiling water.
My philosophy is it's not broken if I don't notice it.
A regular kettle is far more efficient.
I believe when we were first introduced to the radian, it was explicitly defined in terms of the radius, i.e. 1 radian = an angle whose arc length is equal to the radius of the circle.

Was a radian just defined as an angle of 57.3 degrees in your class? I imagine that would seem really arbitrary to students.

Australia is very authoritarian. They actually confiscated the guns. not just made them illegal. They threatened law abiding citizens with prison time for not turning them in.

Australia also makes it mandatory to vote. Any kind of forced action like that is very authoritarian.

That's the problem with pedantically picking apart everything they post. What the EFF does is not "stooping to that level" -- what the industry does is on a whole different scale.

Today, child mortality in Thailand is almost as low as it is in the U.S., and Thai women have an average of 1.6 children.

My wife dragged me kicking and screaming from Berkeley to Los Gatos in 2006. We lived there for 5 years. While San Jose has too much concrete, I must say I surprised myself by being deeply moved by the profound natural beauty of the valley, and even the suburban architecture there.

Suburban architecture is easy to ridicule (Kunstler does a good job), especially when you're a young professional looking for a mate. When you're raising two kids you start to understand it better. Today I see it as a fantastic setup -- almost utopian.

Sure, I appreciated being in the green and walkable Los Gatos downtown rather than San Jose proper. But the San Jose downtown is pretty nice! Not my type of scene, but it beats the zombies, human poo, getting mugged, ice cold fog, and dilapidated, frantic streets of San Francisco. Which is -- objectively, it must be noted -- a far better target for a nuke test.[1]
