The Art of Monitoring [1], covers most of these stuff in a unified manner. You are introduced to some basics (push vs. pull monitoring), then proceeded with simple system metrics collection (cpu, memory) via collectd, then goes to logs inge

Those who like clojure/lisp, can try with Hy [1]. The latest version removed Python 2 support, but previous versions would work on Python 2 and 3. Can directly run hy code, compile to pyc or readable python source files. For functional

Tech is usually a safe haven (of blaming) when someone needs to hide the malfunctioning system. I saw several cases where public agencies deployed tech not to make things easier for the end-user (set aside the talk they are trying to sell y

Pardon me, but a statement like this shows you either didn't use ElasticSearch/Solr/Lucene to extent to understand how it works, or you haven't used Postgres for serious full-text search. Every tool has its place. Postgr

I'd suggest you to check a book "A Mind For Numbers" [1]. You don't have to be science/math guy to read it, and it covers procrastination among other things. What I like about it is that many facts are backed by sci

Clojure has all sorts of facilities to do that (atoms, agents or refs). You can even listen for changes [1] and compare old and new values. [1] https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/add-watch

It's harsh to say this is due C++ fault, more likely due development culture and desire to be cool by using all the new cool features, without understanding benefits vs price. I was running medium-sized C++ project that included full G
