How do you actually asses that the cause of death is coal vs cigarette smoke vs car exaust? Is only cancer of respiratory system taken into account? Is a percentage of stroke victims also? How is that percentage chosen?

I've been using lately https://booky.io/ . I'm not affiliated in anyway with them. It's currently missing a global bookmark search though.

What field of programming have you implemented that? I'm curios, is it in kernel development, some DB design. Not trolling, just curios where that usecase where this would come in handy and why ask it if it's not a direct relation

Not to mention how hard is to have a standardization. Doesn't do any good if the data is not guaranteed to have been measured in somewhat similar conditions. Thinking about my cholesterol. I've seen so much fluctuation on my own b

I agree with what you are saying, however tape over the camera means you don't trust the OS or the hardware manufacturer with a console command like modprobe to actually do it's thing and disable the web camera.

Rather what the hell happened to the guy that had tape on his laptop camera and microphone. Suddenly he's got an always on listening device. How does one go from one to the other?

I lost it when the guy said don't use an IDE. What's the point of having a static type system when I can't use an IDE to see where a specific method is called.

I've found https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder pretty sufficient for this as it helps generate json logs with extra custom fields based on SFL4J log statements. You can use it's layout to sen

Funny thing is that I use Scaleway also, and did not have any problems registering a credit card with them. Since online.net and scaleway seem to be the same or related somehow, maybe they should copy-paste the CC validation code from them

Same for me. I wanted to use them two weeks ago but could not get passed it. I just gave up on 3rd card attempt. And btw why can't they support pay-pall? It always makes me uneasy to pass in the credit card details directly on a site.

Yes. Joke aside, at least in hiring people it should.

Well I definitely support the example of using Kafka for analytics with a streaming solution like Flink or Spark, etc. However I asked the "why not directly to ES" question because the example of using Kafka just as a layer in fro

DO has 5$ + VAT price for 512MB instance. I have no problem accommodating mysql + web on that.

Well ES is pretty fast by itself - lots of people use it to store log entries(ELK stack) and every log line triggers an indexing event in ES. Introducing Kafka into the mix just seems like an unnecessary complication.

by balamaci 10y ago
Well Logstash can output data into Kafka or ElasticSearch. So you could for example transform logs to json or do simple text processing in Logstash and put it to ElasticSearch for logsearching but you can also put it in Kafka and then have

by balamaci 10y ago
Hm but why would you not send it directly to ElasticSearch?

Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try this summer with xpra. Did not know about it.

I wonder how hard it's to program running a remote desktop connection to a desktop computer at home. I run Intellij Idea for java dev, so no way I can run on the tablet considering the battery drain. It would be nice to program in the

Yeah, code that anyone can read is so overrated. PS: Sarcasm.

I'm going more pragmatic and I think most of the bugs were/ are NullPointerException the kind that today's IDE(due to their maturity of working for years and years with the language) can now even warn you about, compared to o

Well I don't think functional languages are something new and by reading the latest death and doom I'd wonder how we ever got this far and why suddenly it's so much harder to do concurrency. I confess that I don't write

And to go even lighter I use pippo( https://github.com/decebals/pippo ). I like the modular way that allows me to tailor my apps to be <1MB final size. Really helps with lightning fast deployments on my many DigitalOc
