11,503,776 | null | comment | blaze33 | 1,460,724,028 | Instead of doing system administration with root, couldn't we have a system user with the same privileges as root except it wouldn't have write access to the files of some users (like your clients) ?<p>So you could still rm -rf / all you want, delete everything but still have /home or /var/www content untouched.<p>We run certain programs with limited privileges to mitigates risks (bugs, exploits, etc.), why shouldn't we also limit the privileges of root to mitigates the risk of buggy system administration ?<p>Obviously having actual backups and testing your code before applying it to production is good practice but I feel like doing system administration with root while having potential bugs in your sysadmin code (as in any other software) leaves the door open to the next catastrophic failure. | null | 11,496,947 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,777 | null | comment | jurajpal | 1,460,724,035 | Thanks for your feedback! We chose chatbot as the medium only after carefully talking to our target audience and testing some prototypes with them last summer. They loved it because Sure gave them 2-3 curated recommendations, rather than an endless list of Google search results. At the same time, you can always ask for more options and start comparing them.<p>We believe that even navigating between product comparison tables can be simplified with a simple conversation. Sure aims to be so personal that you can ask the bot to compare different options for you along the dimensions that matter to you.<p>And when it comes to product and even restaurant recommendations, I completely agree with you that images matter and we're really excited about what the new chatbot UI on Facebook Messenger allows us to do and this is just the beginning. | null | 11,501,604 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,503,788 | null | comment | neverminder | 1,460,724,209 | > A process at my day job handles millions of URLs per day. As part of handling each URL, it checked whether the URL was present in the database, and then logged something if it was. This was implemented so that we could get interesting stats on how many of the URLs were already present at report time. It turned out that it was spending 30% of its time doing these database queries, there was still no automated process to generate the stats, and humans had long since stopped checking. Deleting that 1 line of code knocked 30% off the execution time of every URL.<p>Or you can make the logging part asynchronous (provided the server itself is not maxed out) and cut that 30% of request time. | null | 11,503,500 | null | [

11,503,809 | null | comment | gedrap | 1,460,724,443 | Sounds like a fun project (and totally doable)! :)<p>If I were you, I'd make heavy use of ansible, or something similar, for provisioning:<p>1) folks are familiar with it
2) could make it cross-platform more easily
3) well, no reinventing the wheel.<p>For example, Ansible has ec2 module <a href="http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_module.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_module.html</a> where you describe an instance and the number of them that should be running. So if you have 3 instances running and wish to have 5, it does the magic and spins up new ones. Then, you can add them to a load balancer. Maybe there's something similar for DO already?<p>The way I see it is that it would poll if scaling conditions are met and execute ansible playbooks if they are, and then some web interface to set the conditions / view the scaling logs / current status.<p>It can turn out to be a very entertaining and educational side project :)<p>If you decide to do it, drop me an email - something I would be happy to brainstorm and discuss about :)<p>EDIT: It could also be used not only for autoscaling but also for self-healing. If some instance crashed and is not responding anymore, then spin up a new one. | null | 11,503,473 | null | [

11,503,810 | null | comment | brudgers | 1,460,724,456 | My 2 cents: Build an independent autoscaling tool that abstracts over the differences between clouds because:<p>1. Even if DigitalOcean is the best cloud provider today -- I'm not saying it is or isn't -- the probability it is the best that will ever be is approximately zero. The landscape changes. Heterogeneity among cloud providers is increasing and anyway latency will always be a function of the physical location of data centers where the data is sharded.<p>2. It's the right alignment for an open source project because it is driven by the broad interests of developers rather than the narrow needs of a single company. DigitalOcean may change its pricing policy. It may cease to exist. It may make breaking API changes. All for legitimate business reasons orthogonal to those of particular developers. If their autoscaling code is platform independent, then that's not a crisis.<p>Good luck. | null | 11,503,473 | null | [

Can they build the next AirBnB or Uber?<p>I'm not saying they can't, of course...just wondering if the cultural and technical infrastructural differences between Africa and the US/Europe would create experimental distortions.<p>[edit] ok..AirBnb and Uber were probably poor examples and with more thought it makes sense the the effects would be much more localized in this case.<p>I guess what I was trying to say is that the 10% have a lot of work to do if they have to carry the weight for the other 90%. | null | 11,503,080 | null | [

Lots of companies have offline processes that are painfully slow, and are very good candidates for optimization.<p>I once worked at a company where I noticed an employee would come in over an hour earlier than normal on Monday mornings. It turns out she got in early to run a report that the CEO liked to see every Monday morning. An hour or two later I added an index, and refactored some SQL so that we could do more in a single query rather than N queries, and the report time went down from 45 minutes to 3 minutes. | null | 11,503,565 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
11,503,845 | null | comment | janpieterz | 1,460,724,662 | I found your description here a bit more difficult to understand than the description on the website.<p>I like the concept, as in having revenue streams that can be shared with the people building the product. You thought about things like house keeping tasks (and bugs etc). I can imagine that it's an easy way to clean up some technical debt, just divert a bigger chunk of the revenue towards those bugs.<p>Couple of things I'd love to see worked out a bit more. Maybe you mention them somewhere, but still:<p>- How does this work in an interface? Sales people will not really go into git and see it, so I assume some kind of interface with sliders that match the streams+tags. Showing this can be insightful (a sketch can already give more insight in what you're actually building).<p>- I assume there is some kind of holding period so that the 'bug' tag for example can be extended for a while, giving me the guarantee that those 20% of the shared revenue that went to bugs actually stays for a couple of weeks.<p>- There is (obviously) a lot of weird scenario's possible here. Imagine a business requirement changing. I wrote a big piece of the functionality, but it becomes simpler. 90% of the code can be removed, someone else writes another 10%. How does this equate to money shared? I did all the 'heavy-lifting', but the other person made it workable in the current increment.<p>- I can see this become really difficult to manage in larger teams and products, and possibly leading to unhealthy competition where people are enticed to work more against each other than with each other. Maybe there could be certain ways to make working together more attractive? For example, commits within a week from each other by different people attract some kind of bonus % to all involved?<p>- In general, the idea is nice, but I wonder if the 'old fashioned' way of sharing profit with a normal bonus (hey, you guys did a great job) won't work better if applied correctly, although this could also be seen as a way of making the bonus structure work less politically colored, or at least more transparent. | null | 11,471,340 | null | [
