I think your parent is pointing out that the browser is the one that initiates the fetching of all of this content in the first place. So, there's no need to "block the server from delivering something" as it can decide never

There isn't a lot that peeves me more than working with developers with poor git commit habits. As someone who takes every commit they make seriously, it can really demotivate/depress me when I look at my team's git log and s

Azeralthefallen hit the nail on the head for the most part and I wasn't managing anywhere near as many servers s/he was. I had come from Salt prior to Ansible and there was a lot to miss.

> Why this over Ansible? It's a long story :) As someone who just spent the last year of his life using Ansible, something tells me I already know this story. I feel for you.

There's a great scene in a Parks and Recreation where Leslie (Amy Poehler) is on the local public radio station and they are about to go to commercial break. Before they do, however, they play part of a song from Nefertiti's Fjord

Is there any good documentation out there on how the Linux Kernel does git?

Can anyone comment to how nice or awful running some sort of Linux VM (maybe under Hyper-V) and using Putty to SSH to it for development on Windows would be? This work is promising, but doesn't appear "quite there", yet. I ru

So, after working with Ansible over the last 7 months, I've come to the conclusion that it's not SO bad (it is still bad) if you have some sort of frontend to it that builds your playbooks for you and then calls out to `ansible-pl

Well, of course, the "online mode" is an `nc -l` at the beginning of the pipeline.

I'm interested in knowing more about the Perl component. What can you say about that?

What I've always REALLY wanted to see with regards to SSH and the web is an implementation of the SSH Agent API over web sockets or something. That way if I had some Ansible scripts I wanted to run from a web UI (like something similar

I like to point people to the Linux kernel `git log`[1] when talking about the value of good commit messages. [1]: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master

I sort of "version" or segregate my $HOME directory into a separate Workspaces directory in my real home for which I then have a script to activate a particular work space. For the most part, this script just sets $HOME and execs

I like the way Google projects seem to use Google Docs for this sort of thing. I've noticed in the past docs come up for projects like Angular and Go. I'd like to hear more about some of these documentation policies if anyone know

I don't do Ruby anymore, but back when I first started I did a little side project with Sinatra and Sequel and definitely enjoyed it over ActiveRecord. As another user said, now that I'm a Python programmer, I have always been dra

I'm curious, does it run on AWS in the sense that when I launch an instance I might be collocated on the same physical machine as an instance doing work for amazon.com or do they have a separate deployment of the AWS stack in a dedicat

The README answers this: To learn Rust. Edit: It also mentions not being tied to UNIX and appears to claim it will run on Windows. That's certainly something.

I've talked to several developers over the years that dream of being a groundskeeper. A little about this. I worked plenty of my summers at a country club (my dad is a superintendent) and there is something to the work. There&#

You might consider taking a look at Twitter's pex. Python supports importing and running code from zip files. pex aids in bundling python code and its dependencies into an executable zip file.

So, like, what is a package manager and what does it need to do? All the distros have one. All the lanaguages have one. Why do we have so many of these things and is all the complexity necessary? All our configuration management tools try t

Any interest in opening that SSH implementation up to the world. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it and (maybe) even contributing.

OpenSSH is certainly the standard amongst SSH servers, however, I'm curious if there are serious alternatives that offer something missing in OpenSSH? I know there's a patch floating around that allowed some buffer to be configura

Interestingly, we do something almost identical using Salt for service discovery (hey, it's built on ZeroMQ, too). We periodically ping all minions and record some information about them that gets provided as pillar data such that we c

The problem with using something like YAML to configure (if you even want to call it that) Riemann is that to do anything useful, you're going to end up inventing some convoluted "language", anyways. I'd much rather spen
