Pattern Patent By Google

Thanks for the resources, I will for sure be following these. My dream is that one day I can do something similar to `docker-compose scale db=5` and have a database that is highly available.

I would love to see approaches similar to the attempt for elasticsearch for all major databases as out of the box highly available, that would make me sleep a lot better at night. For the mean time I'm just going to manage my databases traditionally (through a service or run by myself). It seems like its really a problem that needs to be solved, other than that I'm a huge fan of these infrastructure approaches.

Maybe I'm missing the right articles or I'm thinking about this the wrong way, but I can't seem to find any resources on how people run databases in these kinds of infrastructure stacks. I mean I have no problem understanding how I can deploy my 12 factor application on kubernetes for example and load balance to those, but persistence seems to be missing. Do people just use Amazons/Compose/etc Database offerings and don't worry about it themselves?

Couldn't agree more. Code is highly dimensional while our text editors are two dimensional at best. In case you don't know these talks I think you will enjoy The Future of Programming and Inventing on Principle both by Bret Victor.

I somehow felt like the docker team was closer with the Rancher team, so I thought docker might acquire Rancher at some point. I think this is a move to produce revenue in the future while Rancher is yet another open source project to monetize.

Neat. Really like the approach.

Is anyone else noticing the distracting optical illusion in the logo when reading the first paragraph on the landing page? If I am not the only one, someone should find a way to fix it.

Neat. I really liked Ubuntu One. However, if they seek to receive contributions I think GitHub would give them more exposure than launchpad, from what I can tell the history is not preserved (probably with good reasons) so the switch from bazaar would not have been painful.

I agree, before you start implementing all these changes you should probably also spot the time consuming parts of your software using a profiler. Otherwise you might be making a bad trade-off. My software engineering professor always used to say: "Never start optimizing before you have measured [using a profiler]."

JRuby 9000 released 11 years ago

I've actually found JRuby to be very handy when it comes to packaging. Using warbler I can generate a jar file and then using the javapackager I can create self contained packages for all the major platforms/package managers: windows (.exe/.msi), linux (.rpm, .deb), osx (.dmg). Way more painless than packaging a ruby runtime. I've tried traveling ruby, but have not had the same seamless experience. Especially when it comes to multiple platforms. However, packaging with java, jruby and my application usually turn out to be quite large. Around 80Mb for a CLI and the startup time for short running programs like CLIs using JRuby can be quite long.

Neat! I've been working on something similar for about the past six months, although my approach is a little more minimalistic, but also based on shamir's secret sharing. I was planning to release a preview the next couple of days. If any one is interested https://github.com/duse-io/api#how-it-works

//edit My solution focuses more on the sharing aspect between people, but can just as well be used like Vault

For an application to be ready for customers there is usually a lot more around it. I've met the guys from codebox.io and gitbook.com and what they did with codebox was, they open sourced the web-ide, however, all the infrastructure they build around the SaaS offering was what actually made it work. While users have the possibility to help improve the essential part of your offering, it will still be a lot of work for someone else to be the copycat.

I'm actually not too surprised. It seems like Amazon feels like they have to have every online service possible, however, some of their services could be better if they focused on fewer.

I see you used the Levenshtein algorithm to calculate the suggestions, very cool idea. I've noticed lately that it is being used quite more often than in the past. (may just be my perception)

Y U NO commit?? 12 years ago

I like the general idea, I sometimes also tend to code too much until committing, however, for me it is more a combination of running tests, amount of code and of course completeness. Plus, I often start hammering ":w" when I am stuck. (which would be miss-interpreted by this tool)

Interesting, I would like to see how non-tech users evaluate the user experience of this.

To summarize its current stage, it adds issue tracking on a pull-request scope, as well as stars for pull-requests. We will be adding automated voting in form of what we call bots. We try to save most of the data inside of GitHub to limit what is saved in our persistence.

One of the creators here. Just to make this clear, this tool has not yet been released, however, we are getting close. Before you criticize the UI/UX, please try it yourself. We will be offering a public hosted instance and enterprises can host it themselves for their own GitHub enterprise. Our page http://review.ninja/ is outdated right now and only used for mailing list purposes, please refer to http://review-ninja-staging.cfapps.io/ for our staging environment. Please be aware that staging might not be stable.
