Number of series: 158990 is displayed in the web UI. We disabled a lot of useless metrics in the node exporter. I think pulling works OK if you have a service discovery mechanism. We hook Prometheus to Consul. We have a mix of very small VM

Bob Iger's book - the ride of a lifetime - is also really good if you're interested in that!

Interesting, I have a very small team that maintains a lot of infrastructure including Prometheus. Setting up the monitoring for 5 datacenters, thousands of hosts and hundreds of services was maybe a ~2 weeks effort. We then organically add

> Datadog has incredible integration with clouds (AWS and other), databases (postgresql, mysql, cassandra) and middleware (haproxy, kafka). It can capture all the metrics from all these out of the box with minimal effort, whereas you hav

Yeah that kind of integration seems neat. We use ELK + Prometheus and it does require having Kibana + prometheus open OR building a dashboard in grafana pulling from both sources. As far as speed, I haven't had the issue with prometh

Do you really really really want to have a side project? As someone who works a full time job that I love but drains me, I need to be really motivated about something and curious about it to work outside hours! Right now for me it is Java+S

I don't get this impression from reading HN. I think how you interpret what you read can sometimes say much more about you than you might think! That said, in hacker news (like other social communities) people share the good parts and

From your posts your view of complexity seems very limited to the art of programming and making complex, fast and correct programs. Complexity for me is the software engineering part which the Software Engineering at Google displays reall

Can you expand? As someone who maintains a large-ish prometheus/grafana installation on prems I don't know what we're missing! We have a couple of custom metrics that we developed in prometheus and the OSS plugins/dashbo

That sucks! I heard reddit also does things differently when you're logged in/ logged off. I haven't had a bad experience with these platforms myself but it sucks that it is so bad for other people.

Are you sure there's not something wrong with your environment? Twitter has lots of users (me included) and is not a problem I have seen in any platform I access twitter from.

Software developers are hired by business to solve business problems. Optimization of speed is sometimes it, sometimes it isn't. I have worked accelerating algorithms in VHDL with a PCI-e interface, embedded linux without a MMU because

Which businesses are monopolies? Slack surely isn't. If there's a market for faster chat clients because that's what people want then looks like a business opportunity? FWIW all of slack competitors are also electron (rocket.

I feel you tried to be snarky and I didn't really follow even what you tried to imply! Regardless would like to have your opinion if you don't mind explaining it better.

FWIW I work in a place which uses a lot of C++ and cares a lot about performance. I have seen a lot of really bad Qt UIs as far as responsiviness. The Signal/SLot framework can get really hard to follow in huge code bases with lots of

It is really that complicated. They have a lot of features, integrations and platforms. I don't believe you understand how a chat client code base could be much more complex than Unreal.

Software is all about trade offs. I would actually recommend you the book Software Engineer at Google since you mentioned them so many times: https://www.amazon.ca/Software-Engineering-Google-Lessons-Pr... The first chapter

How can you compare unreal engine with electron ?! That makes no sense at all.

If slack were built in Qt it wouldn’t ever have hit the market or adapt to changes. It would be an order of magnitude more expensive too. Do you feel that you somehow know something that nobody else knows ? It’s all about trade offs . Being

Why so harsh ? If there’s one reality about software serving so many people with so many developers is that there will be bugs and blind spots.

I had that exactly experience with a start up and it was awesome! They also were very generous in the the time given to solve it (2w).

You could ask them to name an institution for you to donate money to. It would at least be something to make the world better :)

As someone who refuse myself I simply think it is a waste of my time. It isn't fun, it doesn't teach me anything I find interesting and it isn't a good way of filtering someone. I would rather be with my girlfriend, play vide

intelligence is multi dimensional. Even more so at a working environment. I can't believe algorithm intelligence is a relevant skillset for 99% of the projects. Including projects inside google.
