This list is a bit scrappy and seems to really only have relevance to Ops staff who work at Gitlab.

I like Gitlab and use it everyday.

I am also really impressed at how open they are with this stuff... Just not sure I need to know how they resolve faults.

How random... Having this exact issue on a production system, came to HN to take my mind off OpenLDAP and find a solution in minutes.

Is screen size a barrier to running VMs? I build all my customers environments in VMs and do this on the road, most run headless anyway.

For me, I absolutely need a portable to replace my PC, since I don't have an office.

I have this requirement. I just bought a Toshiba Z30t. Ultrabook that is self serviceable and supports 16GB. But build quality and feel - talk about your pieces of shit.

noeleon | 11 years ago | on: Mojolicious 5.0 released: Perl real-time web framework

Mojolicious for one doesn't have the dependency tree of Catalyst, this is kind of against of the Perl mantra of don't re-invent the wheel.

That said I favor Mojo over Catalyst for almost every project these days, it's very easy to work with and quick to prototype an application using the 'lite' mode.

Wow.... 15 years! Working at a hosting provider way back when I would die a little inside every time someone asked me to install phpmyadmin for their databases.

I'm sure it's come a long way (at least I hope it has).

Not surprising. Been through many MS -> OO and back again with various organisations throughout the years. OO is good if -everyone- uses OO.

In most organisations you get some genius who develops a fancy-smancy spreadsheet, visio diagram or word document with linked data which will be dependent on the MS access runtime, this gets distributed to all the OO users and it just doesn't work.

noeleon | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: I'm a PHP developer, should I learn Rails or Django?

Take something you have coded in PHP and see how easy it is to re-factor in both languages.

There are no downsides to knowing all of these web frameworks, eventually you will find yourself in a position where company X only wants Ruby, or company Y only writes python.
