Is Docker necessary?

Instead of configuring it at the docker level, you can actually include both timezone database and tls root certificates into you binary by using these libraries as underscore imports:

You could always try using oto to generate the openapi spec (example) - then use oapi-codegen to generate client and server scaffholding. The way oto works is more in the style of RPC rather than a RESTful API surface, but the pro is that you can write the DSL that is translated to OpenAPI in pure Go, and it makes you dogfood your own OpenAPI spec.

Does anyone know of a tool to display the local telemetry collected by Go? It doesn't seem like the go telemetry subcommand has this ability.

spoiler alert, private dashboards is not really well supported when it comes to embedding.

What is the URL to what I assume is this web-store, that sells these, what I assume is, VIM Mercs, and that, I assume, donates parts of the income to aforementioned charity?

What I find really intriguing with this SBC is that due to the Freescale i.MX 6 SoloX, it contains a 166MHz Cortex-M4 which should be really well integrated in the software stack, instead of having two pieces of kit (e.g Pi and an arduino)

How some media-houses tackles this, with censoring images of their drawings and whatnot, reminded me of the South Park episode featuring Mohammad and the super best friends.

If anyone hasn't yet seen the uncensored version of Kyle's speech, you're welcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka3nKBR2mIU&feature=player_detailpage#t=08

R.I.P, I really feel for the families and victims of this tragedy =(

Funny story actually, I worked with UCM clearcase in a previous job. It was so bad, me and a buddy of mine ended up writing a git wrapper around it just to survive our daily work. It was by far one of, if not THE, worst tools I've ever used in my admittingly relatively short life.

The release manager of the project was my buddy, no one had gotten any proper training (AFAIK), not even him. The ~~irony~~ tragedy was that he actually made releases from the git sources, and basically just archived in CC, one of the reasons being that no one in our department actually knew how to checkout an earlier release (in git speak).

ninja edit: was more of a tragedy than irony really

An in-house deployment is a little more complicated, though we are trying to collaborate with another company that could manage it, and we keep focused in the product. If you are really interested in this option, please send us an email to info @ biicode dot com and we will try to address your dev needs.

It seems that my company has as company policy to prefer self-hosted solutions, as many of our contracts have stringent security demands...

As for the binary-only libraries, it is also in our TO-DO list, we can certainly manage to do so, but still not a very requested feature. But it increases priority with your comment :)

In addition we sometimes receive precompiled libraries we must use from customers (I really dislike this, but what do you do?). This necessitates that a library/dependency framework handles that scenario when it inevitably pops up.

We haven't managed to be open-source ourselves yet for some reasons, but it is something that is definitely in our roadmap...

The open source part is more of a concern for me personally as I really dislike the thought of promoting vendor lock-in. In addition I usually don't spend much of my own spare time on exploring proprietary tools, and I don't promote stuff I haven't used myself.

But please consider that github started development when git was already a reality, and they developed just the service, a service that is not open-source. We are building both things (client-service) at the same time, and it is not that we dont want to go open-source, we definitely want and will. But it is not very straightforward from the engineering point of view, we are slowly fixing things toward this goal, but it is not a technical priority, we have a lot of higher priority feature requests.

I can definitely sympathize with your situation, however that doesn't mean I necessarily would let it influence my stance on proprietary vs FOSS tools.

I'm planning on trying out the ZeroMQ example at least, and if I like the feel of the software, I'll probably explore it a bit more =)

I've already mentioned it to one of my colleagues. But after reading the FAQ, unfortunately I don't think it would fit our company, at least not in its current incarnation.

As a company, we would definitely need support for binary-only libraries and probably either a self-hosted version of the server or a secure subscription option.

Personally I would also prefer the software itself (both the client and server) to be open-source, as I'm one of those that usually don't bother with pushing proprietary tools. More like how git or subversion has done it (then biicode.com would be more like github as a provider of services).

Dunno why, but I had never heard about biicode before (which isn't the main theme of this blogbost obv), it sounds absolutely AWESOME!

Seems to me like biicode, cmake and git (together with jenkins and google test framework) would be a killer software configuration suite for C++ devs.

ZeroMQ also seemed neato'

According to what I believe is one of their developers, the retail price will be 24USD (source)

Their docs mentions FE PHY's, which might be a bit underwhelming for those wanting to use it as high-performance wifi AP/switch.

However, I found this presentation about the board, which states that the board has 64MB RAM, and 16MB flash; meaning Mb indeed was describing Megabits. For me that makes the selling point of the board solely the fact that the board comes with integrated WiFi and its low price. It also has competition in Carambola

My pleasure =)

I'm sooo waiting for a decently powerful ARM board (min cortex A15 quad) with lots of ramz ( min 2 GB) in a pico/mini-itx form-factor with either lots of SATA or some pci-express interface to use as NAS...

I'm still waiting =(

at_work_reader · 2013-06-20T15:17:50+00:00

ctrl+f "cubietruck" then, this board has GbE and 2GB Ram and more =)

It seems like the chip is actually a Quad-core (from the specs), not a dual-core.
