Exactly, suspension with pay is NOT a justified punishment for an unjust murder. Cops are quick to jump in and defend the department for firing this guy, but when is the last time …

But you are in 3D space, hence your view rotating in the direction that you drag the mouse (think first person shooter, you wouldn't invert controls for that).

Super creative use of A-frame, nice job. I spent the last month or so building a VR project and I found A-frame itself is still very early on and has a number of quirks, any partic…

This is actually in development, it's called Maximum Override - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWKwgcRSZ0U

Just use Prometheus, nothing else comes close to it. It also just hit 1.0 EDIT Should have mentioned how well it pairs with Grafana ;)

Yes, it works wonderfully. I published a Grafana dashboard for this here - https://grafana.net/dashboards/162

Personal anecdote, of course, but Uber saved my ass while I was in Europe (specifically Paris and Madrid). Immediately upon arriving via train to Paris from London we were harassed…

Another anecdote here, no prior boarding experience, I've put over 500 miles on my boosted board and only fallen once. I ride full speed in the street ~90% of the time.

In my experience, the vibrations on the board are far too strong to get any type of decent video while riding down the road. Always comes out looking extremely shaky.

Boosted rider with over 500 miles so far here. 0 boarding experience prior to purchasing my Boosted Board. The learning curve will be steep if you have no experience commuting on s…

This is only an issue if the battery is already fully charged. I live on a very steep incline ~18%, I know if I charge my battery 100% that I can't ride it downhill for the first l…

"We have a big public safety issue here, and we need to get them to understand that this a problem ... and that we do not intend to ignore it." What an absolute cop-out this is, no…

Can't say enough good things about Ansible. Just finished migrating 90% of our provisioning scripts away from Chef (they were due an overhaul anyways) to Ansible. It feels liberati…

RDS issues.

Couldn't it simply be that drinking coffee in coffee shops increases productivity, not the sounds? In all honesty, find a quiet place or get some noise canceling headphones, coffee…

From my experience of first trying a lightweight media center PC, leaving the browser open for extended periods caused pretty severe memory issues with the computer in general, tha…

All the charts were created using the built in rickshaw library. Most of the widgets are in house at the moment but I'm working to open-source as much of it as possible.

Mac mini works fantastic.

I've been working pretty extensively on our in-house dashboard. We've settled on the Dashing framework written by Shopify with some rather heavy customization. The main focus has b…

Confused as to why this is front page. Article is from 2010.

Not sure how I feel about these "Being a sys-admin is hard, I'd rather not do it" type posts. This is literally THE CORE OF YOUR COMPANY, your site not working is inexcusable! I th…

Turns out the author of this article is actually 100% at fault. He actually pasted a link to the google doc publicly on one of his posts then scratched his head wondering how peopl…

It seems like people really aren't understanding this. The site is a parody of google's own "If I had glass" site that launched yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5249…
