   I've done a few similar minor-edits to maps and they're always approved. This ultra-localised data needs to be crowd-sourced.

   Check out the builds here [1]. I used this mobo for a NAS build recently since it has ECC support. 1: https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/fk98TW

   Creating your own base boxes is actually pretty straight forward since Packer. Maintaining them is admittedly a bit of a time sink though.

   So true. Being from the UK, I was used to seeing UV of 4 or 5 on the weather report. I assumed this was a 1-10 scale. Then I got to Australia and UV is 13 or 14! The US EPA scale runs to 11 [1]. [1] https://www.epa.gov/sunsa

   FWIW I have always thought this would become a problem for nodejs. Encouraging one-liner packages [1][2] is a recipe for an enormous dependency tree, and a totally impossible-to-manage security situation. Python projects I have recently wor

    The smell, the taste, the ceremony of habit. I enjoy these more than the caffeine. I would probably drink more, if the caffeine effect were less.

    Seconded. Running ShellCheck integrated with your editor (easy with vim/Syntastic) is really great way to improve your bash skills. It will highlight common mistakes, and their wiki explains each one detail and how you should use an al

    Great work! Could you comment on the difference between your offering with ListenBrainz and LibreFM?

    I've never seen that option before - I stand corrected. I'd be interested to see how having it switched on affects performance. Also I expect there are still few guarantees about data loss in the event of failure.

    RabbitMQ does not persist messages to disk. A common mistake with RMQ is treating it like something of a database. You would need to run RMQ in HA mode with multiple brokers to have any chance of not losing data.

    The free Microservices vs SOA book gives an excellent run down of the difference between microservices and SOA. It's really useful to have this in mind when having any conversation about microservices. http://www.oreilly.com

    Is that a product your company sells? Or do you plan an open-source version? Seems like there would be a lot of interest in the OS version.. Could be good for marketing ;)

    I just last week bought an ASRock C236 WSI [1] for £170. 8GB of ECC RAM was £80. Granted that five years ago I needed to pay more than twice that amount - so I skipped the ECC :p [1] http://asrockrack.com/general/produc
