Yeah - all of the "suggestions" are a bit weird. For example they say not use Grafana for OpenStack, to use Gnocchi instead. Gnocchi supports Grafana as a UI. (as do all of the other tools even mentioned on the page)

Yeah, this gets me too. Just because someone went to a training course, and now runs a standup, and use Jira or Trello does not make what you do agile.

Everywhere you see the word "devops" replace it with the word "empathy". That was the true meaning of DevOps - fostering empathy and communication between different groups, and to stop the siloed "throw code over th

AFAIK there was licencing issues with memristors - in usual forward thinking HP way, they exclusively licenced the tech to someone else, who did no work on it, so it was not ready for the machine. The IP is also a joint asset of HPE and HP

Well: A) - Full HD video conferencing for ~ 100 people is not cheap. At all. Bandwidth costs alone would be huge. B) - For teams that work together remotely, it is very important for them to meet in person from time to time. Communication i

At the time Mir was started, Wayland was not the standard (and lets be honest, still isn't - X is still the standard). "Use the standard" doesn't ring true when there is none - and having multiple projects do the same th

No, DNS round robin has ... issues. With SRV, you can set a priority, so it goes to a set of hosts first, then falls back. You can also weight traffic so that some hosts get more than others. (also host is actually an A (or AAAA) record - s

This is why I wish that as part of HTTP 2 they had allowed the use of SRV records and gotten it built into the browsers / clients etc. SRV records are far superior - its a priority and weighted list of hosts for a protocol, which coul

Yeah, docs is a good one. Starting out a lot of people dump info in a wiki, but as they get bigger, proper docs (with actual doc writers) is a must.

If any developer says code review is too "corporate", I would suggest that they need to try a different profession. Code review is an industry practice these days, and that is a good thing. I would say even for POC / MVP deve

Sure, gerrit has a learning curve. When you end up using it for a long time, going back to pull requests is awful. Its basic things: - history of a PR - I cannot see the diff of last version of the patch and latest - dependant changes - I n

Unfortunately, it only shows commits done via github directly - not commits that come in from other sources (I.E. if you have a gerrit instance, that mirrors to github)

not really. channels from other teams are hidden, and you can't tell if there is a message in a channel you care about, or a random / general channel, without swapping to that team. Its a pretty terrible design.

Open Source also does not mean free products and support. As a case in point, you were giving out about 2 different pieces of open source software in this thread. Neither of which you have to pay for. Both of which are complex system that h
