No.

Proxmox VE can be a very good replacement for many circumstances.

I've worked with both systems quite a bit, and really like them both. The licensing obviously makes ELK a no-brainer for my personal use. But, to be fair to Splunk the average required knowledge for their end-user is significantly lower. For the crowd poking around here it seems obvious that ELK is the right choice, but when I am unleashing a team of helpdesk techs on a set of data I would probably have a much more nuanced consideration about the tools.

I'm kind of pointing out the obvious, but it's my two cents for whatever they're worth.

I am running a monolithic installation in a container (1 core, 4gb ram) that is being hosted by an intel NUC. I'm taking in about 100k records a day from 10-12 syslog sources and have no trouble with slow downs at all. (I do almost 0 processing of the incoming data, however.) I think I could lower the containers ram allocation to 2gb... maybe.

I haven't tried aggregating a years worth of data into a single search, but for reasonable log troubleshooting everything is going well.

This might be late, or a topic no one wants to bring up, but I am supremely pleased to hear your voice in these parts again. Thank you for contributing.

Exacerbating this is the fact that Windows 7 is arguably at full stride right now and has almost no points that I really want changed. Why then do I give myself (actually, pay for) a headache with this new release?

A corollary to this service, on OSX and only for pdf, is to put the OS CUPS print driver to use. I've always been impressed with how well the print -> save as pdf functionality works on OS X. Recently I needed to batch it for text files and looked up the specifics. (It works for html as well, just save your sites procedurally and batch.)

/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f infile -o outfile

As stated somewhere in the comments this service is probably aimed at people on remote machines, but the above has been a handy trick for my local life.

I'm sure equivalents exist on Windows (PDFcreator comes to mind) and Linux.

I will! =)

I just checked my comment history and about 50% of my comments have been related to this issue. This is the first one that is complimentary.

I think you are misrepresenting this.

I clicked on a news announcement for a product that I currently know very little about and this will be my first engagement with ANYTHING they have published. Would their impression on me be better if I get a giant white screen, or if I get a note saying that their page requires javascript?

Regardless of my engagement with the product, it is certainly a bad assumption to say that everyone blocking javascript is not a potential customer.

In case anyone from square is reading this - you're page loads absolutely 0 content with JS disabled. Just some feedback, take it or leave it.

I may be outside of the normal use case here, and absolutely I am giving my opinion so judge it as one voice in 255 million (or whatever gmail's user count is now), but this isn't ever faster for me. I always have a gmail tab open.

As to remembering the source of a piece information, I made no claim to be perfect at this. What I will claim is that for the 95% of the time that I DO know the source of a piece of information I will be annoyed by results that are not from my intended search space.

Obviously Google has a pretty good track record at returning relevant results, but I can still hope for an off/on switch.

I specifically use the web search bar, instead of the gmail search bar, because I want web results.

This strikes me as an enormous case of optimizing for users that search for google.com in the web search bar. Maybe people do get confused around which search space they are accessing - I certainly do not. I really hope this either stays in beta forever, or at least has a toggle in the account settings to disable it.

Just a heads up, if the creator is reading here, your page loads 0 content with javascript blocked. A minimal plea for javascript unblocking might gain you extra traffic - I know I didn't care enough to add you to my whitelist, since I had NOTHING to go on.

Several years ago I was a programmer for a small gaming firm. I spent 3 weeks working closely with the producer at our publisher and one of the tricks he told me about in their QA process was they they would hedge their costs by submitting their games to MS before they had finished internal QA. This would essentially allow them to obtain free QA time from a very large external group. (console QA is usually better than PC, so a multi-platform release would push the xbox version first to maximize the effect.) I think it came up because the certification fees for releasing on the 360 were just being raised to free first check, $40,000 each time there-after.

You choose the platform you publish on, though.

I always browse without javascript enabled. Sites that load, and/or warn me correctly get a subtle mental nod and (maybe) even an addition to my safe-list. Obviously a blank white page isn't going to bring anyone back a second time...

Isn't the point of self-publishing to cut out the intermediary that is taking a percentage of the artist's sales? Given that impetus I struggle with how this would be an attractive offer especially since Jim Gaffigan is more likely than not able to afford the $35k price tag.

Looks nice. I was excited to give it a try. I'm on my company laptop, however, and the screen is only 768 tall. I had no way to view the entire environment which made the game quite challenging.

This is a big feature request, but honestly window sizing/scaling is something you want to handle early rather than late.

Or, you may just want to throw an error page up if people don't have large enough resolution capabilities.

Good luck!

I came to the comments just to bemoan this as well.

I see this pretty often and I have a tip for developers who really want to insist on JS without infuriating their visitors: Don't let me see the site work before intentionally breaking it to try and force me to be tracked by your marketing code.

My immediate feedback is that you are charging too much. I can buy a travel book which details hundreds of things about SF for ~$20, used $10. I can get a Google itinerary for many places for free.

Second, this seems like an impulse buy sort of item. ( i.e. I'm stuck visiting somewhere new but haven't had time to research it.) A mobile app that allowed quick access to new itineraries via gps look-up might make for a better sales rate. But I don't see anything changing until your price-point accounts for the competition's prices.

I thumbed up this article - but the title kills me. I had to re-parse it at least 3 times to be sure that I was reading it correctly.

Having failed to delete my FB account for over a year because my wife's FB profile would then lack 'in a relationship with' information (her concern, not mine), this professor's rant is encouraging me to make a stand!

I wonder if this story is linked to the below?

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/10/drone-virus-nuisance...

This could make an understanding of the drone's C&C structure by Iran much more of a feasible possibility. I have no idea if these really are connected but it was the first thing that came to mind reading about this story.

I only know one thing for sure around this discussion:

FF runs netflix without hitching on my 2008 macbook. Chrome drops frames about once a second and I get an un-watchable movie.

This very well could be because of Silverlight, but I don't know enough of about the underlying connections between Silverlight and the browser to judge this. As an end-user the experience is still the same.

I do, however, still use chrome for everything else. The unified search/url bar hooked me and I can't go back.

Thanks for enlightening me =)

Where is 'this.' coming from? Coding syntax?

I just don't get it. I've seen it in HN comments for a few days now, but I fail to understand how 'this.' relates any new information. Reply indenting already tells me you are referring to an antecedent post. (A specific post in fact.)

Am I missing something, or is this just a new web fad I'm not savvy too? (Second option is not entirely unlikely...)
