Who really cares about plain visitor counts? What matters are the user journey and segmented event analysis. You'll soon not care to see counts because it's not actionable at all.

I hate to see GitLab becoming mainstream if GitHub fails. We need a better alternative than a bloated one out of control.

Anyone can be ambitious. Without the right skill, it's just a failure.

The good old days when they boast upgraded hardware at the same price is over. Linode is done.

VPN means many things of which, you would be throwing away anonymity as you're completely stuck with a single IP forever which no one else will use.

For Linuxbrew, having packages installed under, /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew makes you wonder how much of the developer's mind is "works for me" instead of following more common sense conventions like at least pu

I'd take regular tabular view for logs like this, https://www.metabase.com/glossary/images/table/example-table... than this brain crushing string spaghetti view any day. https://grafana.com&#x

I think Vector really shines with its VRL language to parse and enrich data. It's well thought out with buffering for network errors and throwing errors on parsing instead of silently discarding. https://vector.dev/docs

Why do people like to stick to inefficient ancient method like grep for log viewing? Try tools like Metabase and see how it makes your log reading far better.

by mekster 4y ago
I've got that same logging backend and I use Metabase for querying. This is far cleaner and easier to use/learn than Kibana or Greylog. I've also considered Grafana, but it's not good for viewing raw logs.

What exactly does rootless achieve? Is it some slight security benefit as in running OpenBSD instead of Linux but no difference for day to day usage? What are the advantage of running Podman over Docker except Podman ecosystem is less matur

I would bet around $5k/BTC when it falls, as the crypto isn't fundamentally dead but a large portion of the cash value in circulation could turn out to be scam.

Your philosophy sounds completely weird that if someone works for an open source project, they have to provide everything free even for new stuff that required extra efforts. Free riding isn't always available. Have you helped the com

Is the only good usage of 5G to download movie on the way?

Wonder what the difference of electricity cost is between running your home router via 5G and wire.

Of course they want to push immature technology if it means billion phones will be set to be in need of upgrades. We all know high bandwidth and low latency are only required on very specific needs. We don't play e-sports and play 8k v

Not sure why people can live with columns that are added later in a very random order from a logically sorted order with dozens of columns when inspecting data. I've used PostgreSQL on a live system but switching back to MySQL on next

It astonishes me that people still don't see any value in distributed Blockchain but think it's only good as some sort of ponzi scheme. I'd like to see those people actually refute the technology being totally useless.

Bad advice. You don't embed same piece of code on every page request but instead you make the code cached on first download.

Sounds like lack of knowledge and experience to start glueing random stuff to make things over complicated.

You can put it in git by writing the defined functions in a file. You may use DB migration tools to run those. It's better because logics in DB cannot be bypassed. If you write a logic or check in, say PHP, and part of your app is run

It is JavaScript. I'd say less learning curve the better adoption. What do you suggest as a good language to use here?

I hope SurrealDB becomes mainstream. RDBMS haven't evolved at all for a very long time but only doing minor incremental improvements and consumers have to turn to complex queries as the principle never changes. It's time we get so
