   I know that. That option is made very clear each time I click on upvote on an old story via an full screen info message. But as mentioned above, I want just one private list of upvoted stories. The changed interface is annoying and less use

   I am the only one that finds the recent HN feature change that makes it impossible to upvote older stories annoying? (I prefer to have all my upvoted stories in one list)

   "Proper monitoring and alerting" do you mean the Redis software watchdog? As a bit above you mention running it with flag =0 is generally not a good idea, and propose =500. Do you use it or something else for Redis production serv

    Super interesting lesson learned article. Will definitely try out Redis, if it could replace Memcached (though it works rock solid) or be used as queue instead of Kafka (I dislike ZooKeeper)

    Sadly it's true. Please allow stub articles and trivia sections. Or was the ban of trivia section a push for Wikia of the Wikipedia founder!? So many great articles eg about fictional characters of movies, etc got deleted. I mean it&#x

    I agree with you. Though, call it HTML5. CSS3 is OK, but so are Html tables. JS5 is lean and fine, I don't need the class syntactic sugar.

    Instead of VS try out IntelliJ IDEA with Rust plugin: https://intellij-rust.github.io It gives you the comfort features known from the IntelliJ platform and doesn't add phonehome telemetry to your exe files (like VS2k15).

    Is there an easy way to host a local DBPedia copy? Last time I checked it uses a little known database software. MySQL, Postgres or Lucene/ElasticSearch support would be prefered.
