labianchin | 9 years ago | on: “Should you encrypt or compress first?”

Interesting. Keepass[0] (password store) compress with GZip by default before encryption.

Remembering best practices for BASH might be hard. I recommend using http://www.shellcheck.net/. I use with vim and syntastic. This article talks more about it: http://jezenthomas.com/shell-script-static-analysis-in-vim/

Also, an alternative to `docker-machine scp` is docker-osx-dev (https://github.com/brikis98/docker-osx-dev). It will rsync a path into the docker-machine host.

labianchin | 10 years ago | on: How to make Selenium tests reliable, scalable, and maintainable

I wonder if there are stories about running Selenium tests in production. Something in the lines of semantic monitoring (http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/semantic-monito...)

If it is slow, use vim --startuptime to check for slow plugins on startup.

Cool! Can you share your NixOS configuration file?

labianchin | 10 years ago | on: Using Protobuf instead of JSON to communicate with a front end

I wonder how would that be like with Avro. It also has JSON encoding: https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#json_encoding

labianchin | 10 years ago | on: Null Object: Something for Nothing (2003)

Java 10 is supposed to introduce value types, that will change the way we use nulls, check here: http://blog.joda.org/2014/11/better-nulls-in-java-10.html

That is great!

But when using the command, it does not work with defined bash/zsh aliases. Anyone has any idea how to do that?

Say I have "alias g=git", when I use the command "g diff", the following error happens: .fbPager.sh: line 4: g: command not found

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Kubernetes is going to support rkt

Yes, rkt App Container runtime is based on cgroups and namespaces. Same as runtimes of Docker, lmctfy, systemd-nspawn, lxc or (almost) any other container technology for Linux. The big difference is on specification of images. rkt introduced the App Container specification for its images: https://github.com/appc/spec/blob/master/SPEC.md#image-archi...

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Dropwizard 0.8.0: Java framework for ops-friendly, high-performance web services

Also, saw this comparison of Dropwizard with Spring boot: http://blog.takipi.com/java-bootstrap-dropwizard-vs-spring-b... Interesting to understand the libs and flexibility each one have.

There is also Tmux resurrect that you might take a look: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: RancherOS: An OS for Docker Containers

I am curious about one thing: how System Docker as PID 1 deals with reaping zombie processes?

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Mutation Testing

For Java there is Pitest: http://pitest.org/

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: How secure is Docker? If you're not running version 1.3.2, Not VERY

Can somebody explain what is the risk with such security issues if you own the containers?

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: A Pragmatic Guide to Getting Things Done

There is also an alternative to GTD, it is Zen to Done (http://zenhabits.net/zen-to-done-ztd-the-ultimate-simple-pro...). It basically tries to be a simplification of GTD. Also the idea is to focus on 10 simple habits to improve productivity.

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Bup – towards the perfect backup

I've been using duply http://duply.net/ for a while. It is a simple frontend for duplicity http://duplicity.nongnu.org/. I find it very easy to setup. It also provides encrypted backups trough GPG.

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Linuxbrew

Has somebody used it? It seems to be better to install software that is not supported by the distro, instead of dealing with PPAs.

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Building Good Docker Images

Interesting this approach of building single binary containers.

I think that would be like packr [1] for Java, already discussed here [2]. I wonder if there is something like this for other languages/platforms like python/ruby/node.

labianchin | 11 years ago | on: Ind.ie Manifesto

I've already saw people suggesting Syncthing (now Ind.ie Pulse) as an alternative to Dropbox and BitTorrent Sync. Does anybody has more experience with it? I mean how mature it is and what are the pros/cons of it?
