Monitoring request - dynamic configuration. Using Nagios requires configuration file changes and service reload Would prefer dynamic, on the fly configuration. Even better, configuration that can be adjusted externally, possibly from a web API endpoint. Better still, configuration that IS external, where the monitoring service queries an external service every X minutes to determine what to monitor.

Performant - In the realm of 6 oid monitoring of 50,000+ devices in 5 minute intervals

* Build UIs for things like provisioning network equipment, dashboards for reporting monitoring information and ticketing systems for the support team.

* Maintain a UI component kit, similar to Bootstrap and Foundation, that is shared between all of our applications.

* Most of our new UI work is in Angular, but we are actively exploring other tools, like React, for our desktop UIs and mobile development.

Disagree. On the consumer side, I care more about auto-playing audio than bandwidth. On the content owner side, I only want my videos to autoplay (in most circumstances) if it were accompanied by the audio. If I didn't care about audio accompaniment I can already use GIF.

Green Bay, WI | Remote | Full Time Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, AngularJS, SASS, Ansible, NodeJS Contact me for a resume Twitter, Github, or username[dot]com using the same username you see here.

I just finished up the front-end of a large pilot project for a fortune 500 retail company (in-store, touch-screen) using AngularJS and SASS and I'm at a good point to look for an opportunity if one arises. My preferred backend is Ruby on Rails but I've previously done multiple projects with Python and Django (also Flask.)

I approve this message, as I am a web software developer in the midwest. I'm also involved in a great startup focused community here, http://digitalfertilizer.org/ with a network of high quality developers and designers, many of whom are full-time employed by startups all across the country.

I'm also on the market for remote work. Same username on Twitter.

Opinion on a good CRM that isn't Salesforce?

I never claimed there was a good solution, because the point you make is very valid.

Emphasis. A good number of those defending Google are saying they can do whatever they want with your reviews because they are public.
Comment · 13 years ago
The concern, at least for me, is not that a "public" review being used in a "public" way, it's that these businesses are now paying Google for my review and I get no cut. When I wrote this review I didn't write it to help this business out, per se, I wrote it because I wanted to help potential consumers decide where to do business based on my experiences.

Hey shykes,

This is something I'm still not quite clear on. According to the issues in mention here: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/1185 it is possible to do what StavrosK is asking. What am I missing? Why would a volume need an initial state when when the goal can be accomplished with a bind mount?

I also +1'd the documentation issue because I can't seem to wrap my head around what the current state of volumes and mounting is. Appreciate any direction you could point me in.

Basically. One thing to consider is the fact that decoupling applications and services they interact with is generally considered a good practice. What services does a web application need? Generally speaking, a web process to handle requests, a database, and maybe some in-memory storage such as memcache. What docker can do is script the creation of these services as containers that can be deployed "anywhere." So say you have your web app now, and your 3 services are on a single server and the load is getting heavy because of database queries. Docker makes it extremely easy to reliably move the services between servers to handle the load better.

Albeit this is a very simplified vision, I don't think the complete use cases for docker have been hashed out quite yet. tl;dr dev ops is about to get magnitudes easier.

In my experience, shipping fast wasn't the determining factor. It's always been to build tangible features for feedback purposes, and to focus development efforts on the core of what provides the value. Shipping fast is a side effect of maintaining this type of focus.

Foreseeable roadmap for Web Sockets?
Comment · 13 years ago
I can say I was initially not convinced this would take off. 175 pull requests later I've changed my tune. Now that we know there is a large talent pool interested in such a task, I wonder how much structure could be added before interest starts to subside. Surely something fantastic could come of this, but we just proved it needs a bit more direction.
