We're using Datadog to monitor job stats on a busy RabbitMQ host and it's fantastic.

Zarafa is excellent (and works with MS Outlook if you need that). Edit (to elaborate more): it's open source, has a very nice web ui, supports pop/imap/outlook, does activesync and mobile push, uses other standard opensource

United Artists sort of started that way I think.

Slightly OT but has anyone tried Marionette + React as a combo? Would be very interested to hear how smoothly (or not) it went.

With LEO satellite internet, would download/upload speeds be symmetric (like SDSL) or would uploading be much slower (like ADSL)?

You could try http://www.kima15.com although ceding 15% might be too steep for the amount they invest given you have a working, sellable prototype (I have heard Kima say they are sometimes willing to negotiate on this figure tho

No weirder than the one used by Dyn or Paypal. Click a button, receive an SMS with a code, enter the code and login. Voila.

I used to work for an air charter company so know a bit about biz jets. Stross is missing an important point: there are only a handful of heavy jets that can fly non-stop from LHR to SYD. The Global Express (and variants), Dassault's 7

To be fair, they have to leave some wiggle room while they investigate the extent of the hack. With a bit of luck just the hot wallet got compromised, they trace how, fix it and honour any deposits made to the that wallet before the breach

Hopefully most people learned from the MTGox fiasco and weren't keeping all of their coins on a Bitstamp provided deposit wallet (not that there's any indication at this stage that the bulk of bitstamp's deposits are under th

Sounds good but apparently the reality is a horrendous 'mish mash' of different tech stacks and fairly poor cross-group communication. Throw a marketing driven release cycle in to the mix (as the article implies) and it's no

A friend of mine has just joined apple in a systems role and can't believe what a mess it is behind the scenes. He described it as being like "1000 startups all working on their own thing but owned by the same parent company"

Nice work although I'd expect at least "cd home; mkdir test" to work in the terminal before claiming to have ported "all of unix" :) Edit: just noticed it does work in /tmp though! Difficult to know as "ls

Nope. You can use whatever packages you like. Those you've rolled yourself, standard python packages like psycopg2, redis-py etc., Flask community provided packages and anything in between. I'm building a fairly large webapp in Fl

That I would definitely agree with. France is much better for cyclists and motorbike riders.

Just came here to post that same comment ( http://www.economist.com/comment/2312452#comment-2312452 ). While it's surprising the Economist failed to mention this maybe the UK's and Sweden's approaches are

An easy solution to this is to have your scrapers on one network and a fleet of squid proxies on another. As and when an IP gets banned you just cycle in another squid instance on a new VM with a fresh IP (which can be from a completely dif

Or for scraping anything non-trivial, do it yourself with Casperjs, AWS/Linode/DO, RabbitMQ and a bit of monitoring/alerting from someone like Datadog. It will be cheaper and a lot more flexible. Edit: realised above sounds a

tldr; version: It reduces the number of network roundtrips (and server overhead) needed to keep clients in sync (great for mobile) and addresses the fragmentation issue between the various server & client implementations of the sprawlin

Hey raiyu Only just seen your reply now. I have no doubt you guys are going to keep on getting better and better and if I were Linode I'd be very worried. I should have mentioned too that it's natural for their to be a capability

Lucky you. I typed in "sardine" and got back a load of stuff about Trichomonas "a sexually transmitted infection of the urogenital tract". Which, thanks to the bot, I now know is a common cause of vaginitis in women. Gre

Their network is more reliable, their control panel is much more advanced and they offer a lot more capabilities (load balancers, longview, additional IPv4 addresses etc.). DO is great at what it does (I have 3 vms with them) but when you n
