No, you're right... it's not inappropriate. But really, something like "for the modern admin" is more appropriate and should be used. There is no need for the "modern man", so it should be left out. The phrase of "modern man" was meant to contrast with old-school admins. For me, it brought up images of classic admins in server rooms either your straight-laced IBM types or your Berkeley Unix neckbeards. Take your pick…

Why not adminess? Or whatever female version would someone come up with after you'd use "admin".

Female suffixes like that can give the impression of the female version being secondary to the "normal" male version.

Of course they don't think about, and obviously they don't want to offend, and that is why some good people point this out, so that people think about it and pay attention. Sometimes biases are so entrenched that we don't feel them. They feel natural, and therefore neutral. But, if you want to make a change, than it's precisely those seemingly natural things that you need to change. You can keep using "man" or not, b…

Frankly, i think some people just like to complain about gender issues when there isn't much going on. In some languages (ex: french), everything defaults to male-centric. Nobody cares or feels offended by it, and females have exactly the same rights as males.

Feminism isn't just about not offending people or giving women the same "rights" as men. You can make the (true) claim that blacks in America have the same rights as whites. But does that mean that there's no more racism? And even without the judgmental word "racism", does that mean blacks have the same opportunities as whites? I don't think so.

Feminism is about making sure women have the same opportunities as men not only by virtue of the law, but "on the ground"; that society doesn't gently (or not so gently) steer them in directions where they end up with less power than men; that they're no longer objectified and that female politicians are not called by their first names.

I'm not saying language can fix all that, or that it even matters all that much. It certainly matters less in cultures where feminism has had greater success. But it is a good place to point out how, perhaps inadvertently, we keep falling into the same gender traps. If you start thinking about your choice of words, language becomes less natural, so you stop treating it, and the culture it articulates, as "nature", and start treating it as the malleable social construct that it actually is.

Did you roll your own SVG chart lib for this? If not, mind sharing which one you're using? It's very nice. If you were to make it so I can open a socket or websocket to it (perhaps on a second, internal port) and publish whatever data I want, that'd be all kinds of nifty. That is, make it so I can just start spraying numbers at ws://myhost:5556/Really%20Awesome%20Data and with that a nice auto-scaled chart magically…

I just built this yesterday: http://blog.vivekpanyam.com/plotter-plot-anything/ . Inspired by Tasseo and Scout Realtime

Cheers! If this were a "Show HN" I'd be happy to upvote! Edit: I see now that it kinda/sorta was, and I missed the opportunity.

Sorry to be the one posting a tangent looks like a nice patch! But please rewrite "for the modern developer" to something more career neutral. I'm a systems architect. I feel like I am not invited to use the tool.

Snark for any interested sentient entity. Don't want to exclude luddites, transhumans, or extraterrestrials. I will settle for excluding moss and whatnot, though. Seriously, fuck moss.

I like it, but why not use something like htop? [1] Perhaps it's not entirely comparable, but you do not need to open any extra ports or run any extra processes. It looks really nice though! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop

flexd, Htop or conky? http://conky.sourceforge.net/ acl...nice job. Your site looks nice and works nice.

I've never actually used conky. I'd never see it, I rarely notice my wallpaper because I never see my desktop.

ah - thanks for the feedback, makes sense.

I will add that if you keep it as two buttons, the colors should be switched. Right now, the active button is black and the other is gray. But gray buttons say to me that they are disabled, so it looks like I can only hit the play button when it's already playing.

This was my interpretation too. Had to click it a few times to figure out what was going on.
