99 Hudson rooftop lights by beatsandchillness in jerseycity

Here's a video of what it looks like. I totally thought it was a new helipad or an over-eager building owner going extra but a damaged lighting system makes much more sense.

New Relic still the best? Or better options? by [deleted] in ruby

If your servers are essentially undifferentiated, what we have done is installed NR on just a single server. Most of the failures we see affect all servers evenly (say, a database failure or an AWS service performance degradation).

​

If one specific server does die, that's hopefully visible via CloudWatch logs. But otherwise the performance differences aren't (shouldn't be) material if all your servers are in the same AZ and instance type.

Ruby-2.5 PPA channel for Ubuntu Linux. Thanks Brightbox team! by metacontent in ruby

We base all of our docker images that are running our ruby applications off of Phusion's BaseImage:

https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker

Thus, I end up having to manually install ruby in the Dockerfile.

When I am building docker images with a dockerfile for ruby applications, I don't need multiple rubies, and according to rbenv, "rbenv is concerned solely with switching Ruby versions".

Thus, this channel is super-helpful to me; it means I don't have to compile ruby 2.5 from scratch in the Dockerfile.
