Currently I use a variety of techniques for managing content I would like to revisit on the web. I do use bookmarks mostly for often visited websites and I always using syncing if possible with Chrome and other browsers that support it (Br

Then what is it? Please help me understand this research that proves my statement incorrect.

Your reaction to reading is just an emotional response. You need to get over the fact that you don't like to read and do it. Eventually it will come naturally to you. That's one of the things that I learned from a CSCI professo

There's some you can learn from videos and other tutorials, but really you need to read books. You need to read books and you need to write a lot of code. Coding teaches you how to be better at coding, but reading books teaches you w

It's a major issue for me because of the time investment required to learn the language (functional programming isn't exactly second nature to most programmers) and the need to design the monitoring system from scratch. Instead o

It's true, you can't tell if something is missing if it never reported. I guess it depends on your requirements. In a situation where your workloads are ephemeral you may not care as much if all of your services have reported as

Riemann injects expire events into the event stream when it doesn't hear from a service for a while. Each event has a TTL that it uses to figure this out. Then of course you can alert on the expired events or take other actions.

Yep, I think that is Riemann's greatest advantage. I don't like the fact that with Prometheus I have to set up some sort of service discovery mechanism. Right now we're using Foreman to manage our clusters, so most likely I

I like Riemann and actually read The Art of Monitoring ( https://artofmonitoring.com/ ) which was a great book. There are two big downsides for me on this one. First, you MUST build your monitoring solution from scratch and

Yeah, containerization is a good point. We've been starting to deploy apps on Docker within the last 6 months. What does Prometheus offer that makes it better for containerization?

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Briefly I would say that we care about availability more than performance, though both are important. We're running somewhere on the order of 2000 VMs w/ ESX with some bare metal systems runni

Yeah, should have made it more clear. Monitoring a linux-based application cluster of a couple thousand machines.

If you want something with good hardware support for Linux Lenovo is always my first choice. I have a Thinkpad x220 that runs Linux flawlessly. I've also got an ASUS UX305CA which isn't too bad either. The brightness controls d

I personally like https://www.codeeval.com/ . It's not competitive really, just solving coding problems. But I find it great especially for learning new languages or refreshing myself on old ones.

Having gaps on your resume isn't a big deal. If you're good at what you do you shouldn't have any problems. I have two 6 month gaps on my resume and it wasn't any problem getting my current job as a DevOps engineer. I
