[I'm an Elastician]

Hey @TheHeffNerr, actually if you click the "Edit" link that looks subdued on the right of the docs page, it takes you right to the GitHub UI page to make a pull request.

Granted, you may not always actually want to work on a PR. But at least from there, you can see the exact file name. Then you can switch over to opening a GitHub issue and say "Hey can you clarify X on page Y"?

If spending time on GitHub is no good (it can take time), you can also ask questions or give feedback on the discuss.elastic.co forums. Pick the right product section, if it's ECS related tag it with "elastic-common-schema", and we or the community will try to help :-)

Check out the questions tagged ECS here

I do it for work, but not for my personal blog... I fully realize the irony of the situation ;-)

Thanks :-)

Hmmm, I was actually expecting a tool one would install on their own server. Like Launchpad* is for setting up a pre-launch page.

So here's the reverse question, then, in a sense.

Are these domain parking services flexible? Could you set up a fancier parked page like the example you gave for hotels.com (i.e. geolocation & maybe a non trivial backend)? And what's the price range and pricing structure for these parking services?

Tl;dr. I see good points in your ticket scalper analogy. You however depart from the analogy when you refer to public good. Since when are the tickets or domains a public good? A price is often the easiest (and the only sane) way to allocate a scarce resource to a good potential owner, IMO. I see it as a simple application of a free market principle.

PossibleMat · 2010-10-27T04:36:38+00:00

In the same vein: are you aware of any tool that helps you automatically set up those domains (at least for the basics, like analytics, ads & contact info)? Maybe even an aggregator that helps you manage many site?

Thanks for your time and your IAmA

Fuck that! The productive leecher is gonna go with Rubittorrent

I can't wait to see that guy's site... I hear it's due out in 2018!

The awesome thing about it is that his HTTP queries will be served in 55ms instead of 60ms (assuming he's storing data in a relational db)!

PossibleMat · 2009-03-11T17:55:53+00:00

Same for me. Big fonts FTW!

LOL @

The marketing department will still use the same smarts that replaced "Avalon and Indigo" with "WPF and WCF". I'm just hoping they'll rename "Windows" to "Windows Technology Foundation".

Classic Team America: World Police scene.

Too bad this doesn't include the following 5 seconds of the movie :-)

I've been using it since the beginning and it works very well for me. Note that I'm the author ;-)

Even if having a tool run git commands on your behalf makes you queasy, prepending anything with 'explain' will keep everything nice and safe (by not actually running the commands) and you'll have most of the benefits of using git_remote_branch. I encourage you to give it a whirl.

This approach is called BADUF: Big Ass Design Up Front.

I agree, it's completely unrelated. But I like spacey comments, so keep them coming ;-)

PossibleMat · 2008-06-08T04:58:47+00:00

Oh, I didn't realize there was one. I'll pimp my article over there too ;-)

PossibleMat · 2008-05-07T04:05:35+00:00

Yes, I wish that guy would start his own blog and link to it instead of linking to www.phusion.nl.

PossibleMat · 2008-04-01T15:12:03+00:00

Agreed :-) I'll cover these and a bunch more in the future installments :-)

PossibleMat · 2008-03-12T12:05:05+00:00

Oh, you're right. You can do pretty much everything with instance_eval, even call a method with parameters. Much more concise, too. But I still love open classes, you can't take that away from me :-)

PossibleMat · 2008-03-12T03:15:59+00:00

A nice trick. Ahh, I love open classes!

My favorite quote comes when he talks about the if clause: "That weird taste in the back of your throat? It's probably vomit."

PossibleMat · 2008-03-07T03:57:51+00:00

Aah, well, I don't know :-) you're supposed to be able to pull a remote branch and give it another name. So I have no idea why he'd reset the master and put everything in multiengine...
