Yeah, basically all of the above. We rely heavily on database row locking and then checking if it's already done. Sometimes you just don't need to check to (for example, just updating a timestamp)

Hi, I'm the Author of this. Feel free to ask any questions!

Does this take into account timezones?

I'm not sure what they've been left with is a monolith after all. I would say they just have a new service, which is the size of what they should have originally attempted before splitting.

In particular, as to their original problem, the shared library seems to be the main source of pain and that isn't technically solved by a monolith, along with not following the basic rule of services "put together first, split later".

I feel prematurely splitting services like that is bound to have issues unless they have 100 developers for 100 services.

The claim of "1 superstar" is misleading too, this service doesn't include the logic for their API, Admin, Billing, User storage etc etc, it's still a service, one of a few that make up Segment in totality.

Interesting. I've collected quite a few from friends + colleagues already and only one has such a header.

Also, that doesn't help with my having fun and learning more machine learning!

Looks really nice, often having business wide dashboard are a pain and it's nice for everyone to be able to see sign ups etc. MySQL data source is good but I'm hoping they'll include things like prometheus or others later. For now this would work with some Segment.io or similar batch jobs

Maybe it was! https://github.com/kevva/is-positive/commit/3db0639fb52c463f...

I totally agree and yeah, I used Martini to make it a little easier to read

The door functions as normal becuase this is just an add on! The keypad etc outside works fine.

I had a look at doing this a while ago and ran away screaming, it's quite eye watering in terms of being agnostic. I started one myself but haven't had enough time to make the UI perfect at the moment. But I did make progress on a way to use many different types of DB's..for example

This has happened to me before many times, we were working on a large app recently that used in app purchases and the sandbox was down for two whole weeks. Try explaining that someone who is paying you by the hour..

The only reply I ever really had was on an forum with "We're looking into it" and that was a few days before a fix was made

https://musrr.com - A profile for bands or artists, fairly polished, needs some more features etc but I don't feel like i have the time to really look after it like it should be!

Very similar to a tool I use that open source for iOS

http://brightbox.com/ is quite good. Based in England as par as I know..

I have to say, i love this, crazy, for a language that is really for transferring data.

I guess you could do this with YAML too?

I think the author forgets the point of such posts is link bait anyway, to attract hits and ad revenue...

I found a break and then working on what I only found interesting (playing around with weird languages, open sourcing things etc) was the trick, it got me really excited again about what will always be my life

Interesting, What would be more interesting is some stats on reliability, seen as their reputation is one of mass, cheap, hosting.

Interesting, I think its a nice reminder that the same old emails are boring to most users

I love Tron
