It looks like Pipenv does not handle the python install itself or associated non-python libraries. With Conda I can tell it to install Python 3.6 along with FreeTDS (for mssql). Conda lets me do this in one environment.yml file and have it

My favorite thing about Brave on Android is that it is basically Chrome with ad blocking. Firefox with uBlock on Android becomes unbearably slow and chugs after using it for a bit on my brand new Pixel. Opera crashed on me twice in the span

No fix for 1.9? We are stuck on 1.9 because 2.X does not support connecting to more than a couple hundred hosts. This ticket has been open for about a year now: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/14143#

There is a local metadata API for Azure but it is fairly simple right now. Some limited instance info about your host ID, fault domain, and update domain: curl http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/InstanceInfo Poll

I firmly believe No-SSH is a goal you should always strive for but never actually achieve. There are always cases where you need to do really detailed troubleshooting that requires things like tcpdump, a debugger, or even running lsof (or o

That only works if I already have Chrome in the foreground. If I cmd-tab to another app to copy something, and then cmd-tab back to the Hangouts Chrome App to paste it but it actually just shows me my browser window instead. There is no way

Franz unfortunately frames the hangouts.google.com interface which has terrible bugs when multiple people are chatting with you at the same time. If you're typing in a chat window and someone else messages you, it pops over your curren

The latest YakYak release is only 50MB. YakYak has been running on my Mac the entire day now and it is only consuming 55MB of RAM. I tend to agree that Electron apps are heavy but it seems like there are ways to make it small like this one.

Strongly agree. I discovered YakYak a couple weeks ago and haven't looked back at the plugin or native apps. For those curious why people may not like the alternatives: Chrome Plugins/Apps: - Cmd-tab doesn't work properly wit

The best use of this is for saving battery life. Chrome will absolutely destroy your battery. You can configure it to auto-suspend tabs after X minutes of inactivity only when you are on battery. (Alternatively you can switch to Safari to s

Ansible has scaled really poorly to thousands of hosts for us. Things we have run into: - Running a job against a single host will finish in 3 minutes... running that exact same job against thousands will take well over an hour and max out

Outlook does have snooze/scheduling. Just curious, how is processing hundreds of emails in Mailbox or Inbox better than Outlook? Seems like trying to do that on a mobile device would be hard no matter what app.

Message searching for Gmail in Outlook iOS/Android is piped directly from Gmail itself. Your search is forwarded on to them and results are displayed back in the app. Immediate search results are from on-device and then filled with the

We most certainly are checking cert validity. It is possible your cert is self-signed, or from a non trusted CA, or expired. We also check for secure cipher suites and either fail or prompt the user to accept an insecure connection. We rece

Oakland is HUGE. You can't generalize it that much. There are so many sub area in Oakland that range from insanely dangerous and crappy all the way up to incredibly safe and beautiful (Rockridge, Piedmont). Also areas near Oakland like

Seconded! We use it extensively here. Really really valuable in our early days when we were first launching. As far as I'm concerned hooking into Sentry (or things like it) is a requirement for shipping and running a quality service. I

My point is I don't want to forget. It still serves a purpose. I'd get over it if it vanished but I'd rather it not. I'm sure there are other alternatives out there though. Speaking of... any recommendations? I just want

Strangely, yes. I still read it daily believe it or not. It's like a lighter version of hacker news or arstechnica. Ars and HN are usually too deep and suck away my time and brain power (in a good way!). But sometimes I just want to sp

We're going to be stuck with TLS 1.0 for a long time due to Android. Only Kitkat and above support TLS 1.1 and 1.2. Right now Kitkat/Lollipop around hanging around 50% market share for and it's only moving a few percent per m

SSL/TLS can only be configured if you use their "Web app" PaaS offering . If you're using plain VMs (IaaS) then there are no options for SSL/TLS. You have to do it yourself on your VMs using haproxy/nginx/

We only run Linux and use Macs. So powershell isn't an option for us. The SDKs for various languages aren't terribly mature either. I don't think any of them except the .NET one are 1.0 yet. Don't get me started on the B

Ahh you're right. Last week. Being restricted to the DS instance types is a little bit of a bummer though.

Compared to Azure, yes. The IaaS offering on Azure has many, many limitations. It is also very difficult to use. There is no general pool of servers. You have to cram VMs into these groupings called "Cloud Services" which are limi

It depends on the use case. For high level overview of systems you absolutely want fewer graphs. Agreed there. For deep dives into "Why is this server/cluster running like crap!?" having much more (all?) of the information ri

My brief experience with browser based rendering was not good. Our dashboard pages often have 40-50+ graphs for a single cluster. I found it brought all browsers to a crawl and turned our laptops into blazing infernos when viewing longer ti

I'd be interested in hearing how it performs when rendering a huge page of graphs each with dozens to hundreds of graph lines. Unfortunately though Prometheus lacks easy horizontal scaling just like Graphite. It sounds like Prometheus
