lewaldmanon Poll: What is your primary editor?

I was a VIM guy for some 3 or 4 years... but then... I wanted to learn LISP. Aaand... you can't try to learn LISP without Emacs.

So, Emacs + Evil Mode and some months latter, I'm a full converted.

My last play-out with Emacs was org-mode... still learning it's awesomeness.

lewaldmanon Poll: What is your primary editor?

AwesomeWM + Conkeror... Switched to it and never looked back.

lewaldmanon AWS Key Management Service

Could any one point me what's wrong with nominal users and keys managed by system automation (AKA Puppet/Chef/SaltStack)?

lewaldmanon One Thing Well – A weblog about simple, useful software

Surely you mean AwesomeWM.

lewaldmanon Can the World Really Set Aside Half of the Planet for Wildlife?

> Let's be frank. I don't need you. So if I see you being mugged/raped/beaten, should I just go on my merry way or should I help you?

Yes... you should unless is someone that you care enough to risk abandon every loved one that you have by dying for a stranger.

I'm an extremelly pragmatic a-hole when we are speaking about eco-nonsense.

We will not change on time. We will destroy the planet. This is fine as we are, acording to Darwin, the current fittest animal in the planet.

So... what's the worst that can happen? We will be extincted by ourselves (carring several "not-good-enough-for-evolution" species with us... but, they weren't good enough so, who cares?)... and this my friend, is also fine.

And to close... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL8HP1WzbDk

"The Planet is fine... we are fd" :)

lewaldmanon Quake-style dropdown Mintty console using AutoHotKey

Same here but binded to F1 and always running it's own tmux session with a root logged terminal, a regular one aaaannnddd a Cmus openend! :P

Nice one about the IRC... will put it on the tmux fourth tab! :D

lewaldmanon Packetbeat: Open-source application monitoring

This would be kibana+elasticsearch+logstash :P

lewaldmanon The Nix project – Atomic upgrades, rollbacks and multi-user package management

Was thinking about install it as my main desktop environment... Went to check the packages and no AwesomeWM.

Any one knows how hard is to add a package?

lewaldmanon Wikipedia redesign

It counts as duplicated content.

A 301 is a redirect. It sends to the client the instruction to reload the page in the given Address.

A rewrite happens only on the server side. So for the client it's like two different sites with the same content, and this hurts your ranking.

Now... Ok that I didn't explained that on the parent post (didn't thought it was needed), but is it enough reason to a downvote? :P

edit: fixed grammar.

lewaldmanon Wikipedia redesign

SEO. And it's just one reason.

lewaldmanon A small router for Openresty

Could you elaborate a bit?

Actually, use nginx as a router sending traffic to different back-ends/applications based on urls is my main usage.

lewaldmanon Nginx 1.6.0 stable released

Nginx+memc+cosistent_hashing+memcache :)

lewaldmanon Project Ara – Google's modular phone project

I think you guys are missing the point here.

The point is: A barebone model for 50 bucks that you could transform in a high-end device expending more money on it when you can afford it.

Also... need more battery life? Why not replace that extra RAM memory module for battery one? Or even... why not to replace the 4 Gb RAM module for one with 1Gb + more battery?

lewaldmanon Confessions of a Full Stack DevOp

Wow mate, don't get me wrong (I'm a SysAdmin/DevOps guy) but...

From where I came and from my background... RPM/DEB packaging is a SysAdmin job.

And... In a properly built infrastructure, what is recompile python 3.3 if not just repackage it?

lewaldmanon SQLite vs MySQL vs PostgreSQL

>If all you are doing is reading single rows from a single table using an index, then yes Postgres is overkill and other solutions may perform better

Honest question... Why someone with this usage would use a RDBMS?

Would be a poor choice IMHO.

lewaldmanon Moto 360

Honestly, I really like the design. :)

Simple, round, small.

With this round steel case, you could even exchange the wristband for a brown lethear one and get a more mature look (all this for only 30 bucks).

lewaldmanon Moto 360

I think all depends on your usage...

I personally never bath with a watch on and never go swimming with this particular watch (I have another one that I use mainly for outdoor activities. A Casio rated to 100 meters).

I really dig watches, and when you start to collect some of them you actually find it's quite fun to chose the right one for the right ocasion! :)

lewaldmanon Moto 360

Lenovo Series W + Linux?

lewaldmanon Android coming to wearables

Define "nature".

Afaik several species beyond our own do oral/anal sex.

lewaldmanon Moto 360

How about Tissot? (I'm by no means really understand about swiss watches, just curious)

lewaldmanon Moto 360

This was, by far the best cost/benefit watch that I found latelly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VR9HP2/ref=oh_details_o...

Also, Swatch have some very nice ones, with a VERY good price.

lewaldmanon Moto 360

I usually take it out and put on the table.

One thing that I learned after years of scratching the glass on several watches is that you should take it off often.

Sleep with watch, and bath with watch are just two of the no-go. :)

lewaldmanon Designing and building a keyboard

WOW! Last week I was on forums checking out about coverting a rubber dome keyboard to mechanical...

Now you got me thinking!!! :D

lewaldmanon Why good managers are so rare

My take on Good vs Bad managers is very, very simple:

"Good managers are like sea captains. Bad managers are like a slaves overseer."

The last pearl from my manager was: "If you can produce 100% in 6 hours/day you would for sure produce 150% in 9 hours/day (Together with a puzzled look after I pointed that no, we are not a screws factory)."

I don't need to mention that the entire team is aggressively looking for new positions on other companies (BTW a it is/was a VERY nice team).

lewaldmanon Save more with Google Drive

Exactly what I'm thinking to do.... Going with ownership.

A couple of bitsynced folders, synced to a home storage (and other computers, shared with friends, etc...), that I can backup with Tarsnap.

Simple, reliable and MINE! :P

lewaldmanon Popcorn Time – Watch torrent movies instantly

So finally, I as a "Internet Gueto" citzen can finally watch all the content that I really want to pay for but can't???

This is AMAZING news!!!

lewaldmanon Why Puppet, Chef, Ansible aren't good enough

Were would be Salt on that bag (http://www.saltstack.com/)?

lewaldmanon What is a Web Framework?

Should not be the total replacement for all because?

Also, you could use LUA with nginx to increase the flexibility (if the lack of it was what you mean).

lewaldmanon What is a Web Framework?

Couldn't resist!!! :P

Apache? Python? Why!?

Nginx maybe?

  http {
    upstream database {
        postgres_server  127.0.0.1 dbname=test user=test password=test;
     }

     server {
         location / {
             postgres_pass   database;
             postgres_query  "SELECT * FROM cats";
             rds_json on;
         }
     }
  }

I'm actually using it... (and planning to use for much deeper things tho).

lewaldmanon We Have Luxurious Jobs but We Are Not Aware of It

And when one of the things that you enjoy more is the IT/Infra/Dev work that you do?

Them you should deserve a very nice home office, with all the monitors, computing power that you would want, and, of course, a remote job to enjoy all that! ;)
