Julia 1.9 3 years ago

We run Julia code in production. These are compute-heavy services called by other parts of the app. Version upgrades are normally easy. Upgrade, run the unit tests, build the Docker images and deploy to K8s. Maybe we've been lucky, but since 1.3 we've never had big issues with version upgrades.

Minify Your SVGs 7 years ago

Because when the browser un-gzips it, it takes a lot more memory than the minified version. And everyone seems to complain about browser bloat.

Johannesburg, South Africa. 100mb/s home fibre:

I recently upgraded my Note 2 to a Note 4. One of the first things it asks when you first switch on the phone, is to log into your Google Account. After that it asked a couple more questions. By the time the install wizard was done, most of my phone had been restored: Apps Contacts (including favourites) Emails (they live in the cloud) Photos Music Even things like WiFi passwords, preferred hotspots, etc.

I don't even think about backing up and restoring my Android device. It all just works.

I can only give you anecdotal evidence on two Linodes we use:

  root@web1:~# uname -a
  Linux web1.netstock.co 3.9.3-x86-linode52 #1 SMP Mon May 20 09:32:28 EDT 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
  root@web1:~# uptime
   15:29:46 up 328 days, 13:16,  4 users,  load average: 0.30, 0.15, 0.12
and
  root@li346-160:~# uname -a
  Linux li346-160 3.7.5-linode48 #1 SMP Thu Jan 31 14:40:54 EST 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
  root@li346-160:~# uptime
   15:31:11 up 487 days, 11:10,  6 users,  load average: 0.17, 0.09, 0.07

I have a bunch of servers on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Did the test. Came back as vulnerable. Then did an apt-get upgrade, which upgraded a bunch of SSL services. Did the test again. Still vulnerable.

What else should I do?

Four screens for me. The left two 24" screens are connected to a Linux Mint box. That far left has a browser with developer tools. The next one has a full-screen vim session. The right two are connected to a MBP. The left 24" has terminals (ssh'ed into the linux box) for Rails console, MySql and Rails log running in real time. The laptop's built-in screen is the far right, with everything from Assembla to email to Skype, etc. Here's a typical screen-shot of how I work: http://i.imgur.com/UVOfAan.jpg As others have said, I can also do with more screens. At the moment both the Linux box and the Mac has 3-4 virtual desktops each.
