Thank you so much for this shortcut, I was trying a way to find all of the bad known_host entries and this did the trick!

Winter tire (if you have them) and heating are the likely culprits!
St-Clock | 4 years ago | on: AWS BugBust
We had similar experience! We tried CodeGuru Reviewer on one of our Python codebases (around 71 KLOC) and abandoned it after a week.
The feedback was indeed similar to what standard linters and static analyzers can provide with more noise. I have no doubt they can improve their recommendations as they get more feedback and analyze more codebases, but we were not interested to pay to contribute.
We have had much more success with https://deepsource.io/ , which found real bugs and we generally agree with their recommendations. We are currently evaluating whether or not we will include this service as part of our process.
Deepsource is rule-based, but my understanding is that they are starting to use ML to rank recommendations.
St-Clock | 5 years ago | on: Cleaning Up Your Postgres Database
One strategy we are currently implementing is using a second Postgres database synchronized with logical replication.
1. We insert the logs in the main database and periodically delete old logs. We can thus create the log in the same transaction as a record is created/updated/deleted. Yay atomicity!
2. The second database uses logical replication to receive new logs, but it only replicates INSERT operations so old logs are never deleted.
3. The application can show recent logs quickly (who updated the customer profile this week?) and if the user wants to dig deeper, we can query the slower log database but the user kind of expect that pulling the entire history of a record will take a bit longer than other operations.
St-Clock | 5 years ago | on: Vimflowy
Didn't read anything at first, just went and navigated/manipulated text and it worked as I would expect! This is a very nice VIM emulation!
I stopped using workflowy because it did not feel natural to edit a large amount of plain text outside of VIM.
St-Clock | 6 years ago | on: Service Quotas: View and manage your quotas for AWS services from one location
That's great news, but I do not see quotas for SES in my dashboard and AWS service list.
Additionally, it seems they did not import previous requests in their new request history.

St-Clock | 7 years ago | on: WAL-G – fast archival and restoration for PostgreSQL
We are using Wal-G in production and testing it every day by copying/restoring prod db to staging. The CLI is spartan, but it works and it's fast.
Andrey is also responsive if you encounter any issue and went to a lot of trouble to fix a hard to reproduce recovery issue we encountered.

St-Clock | 8 years ago | on: Slack is the opposite of organizational memory
We tried Zulip for a week but the team decided to not continue the experiment. I personally really liked the UI and the keyboard-centric workflow, but the lack of polished UI and the suboptimal mobile experience was really difficult to defend.
Another problem is that we would often end up replying to the wrong thread because of the way the general view is organized.
We are now trying Twist (https://twistapp.com) and it is a very good compromise between the efficiency of Zulip and the polished UI of Slack. The main advantage over Zulip is that you only see one complete thread at a time in the main column, but you can see the last message of each thread you've subscribed to in your inbox (second column): when you hit reply, you are certain that you are replying to the right thread.
St-Clock | 8 years ago | on: Tips for Building High-Quality Django Apps at Scale
"Don’t cache Django models"
This is too broad to be good advice. A typical solution to stale models is to increment a cache version key, effectively invalidating the old cache.
Version keys can be coarse- or fine-grained. For example, you may have one version key for the entire application (supported by Django by default) and one version key per model or application (you have to roll your own solution). If your app's models change, you can increment the app version key and the next time you try to fetch a model instance from the cache, you will miss and instead fetch the instance from the DB.

St-Clock | 9 years ago | on: Cloud Hosting Showdown: DO vs. Linode vs. Vultr vs. OVH vs. Scaleway
Hi, I really liked your post and your comments about your experience with each provider, but I totally disliked your answer and the one below. I didn't see anywhere that your benchmark was only about hourly billing providers so I find your reply disrespectful. Maybe you should update the title or the text if you want to take such stance?
Moreover, to me, regular VPS == openvz and not hourly billing (openvz would also disqualify ssdnodes).
St-Clock | 9 years ago | on: Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption
I am unpleasantly surprised that they do not mention why services that should be unrelated to S3 such as SES were impacted as well and what they are doing to reduce such dependencies.
From a software development perspective, it makes sense to reuse S3 and rely on it internally if you need object storage, but from an ops perspective, it means that S3 is now a single point of failure and that SES's reliability will always be capped by S3's reliability. From a customer perspective, the hard dependency between SES and S3 is not obvious and is disappointing.
The whole internet was talking about S3 when the AWS status dashboard did not show any outage, but very few people mentioned other services such as SES. Next time we encounter errors with SES, should we check for hints of S3 outage before everything else? Should we also check for EC2 outage?
St-Clock | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
I confirm for SES being down in US-East-1 :-(

I agree. That is why I mentioned our large test suite in my first comment.

I can speak for experience. Py4J is on that list and getting maintainers is very difficult (for various reasons). Packaging is also not something that naturally attracts contributions.
