Read it first when I was 16, at the recommendation of my literature teacher in high school. For the past... - darn, this was long ago! - ...more than 20 years, I've read it at least once a year, and intend to do that for as long as I can read.
Happy to see this mentioned here. While I can't claim that it was "lifechanging" for me, I still maintain it to be one of the best SciFi novels I've ever read.
You will need to enter the repositories by hand, though. Mind you, writing a small tool that'd list the most popular/forked/starred/etc C repos, and do a search for you in those should be a few minute task.
I would consider this both an unimplemented-feature use-case argument, and a bug, because while 'language:C' works in both Repository and Code search mode, 'stars:>100' only works in Repository mode, yet the 'Cheat sheet' link at the bottom doesn't reflect this fact. Either the documentation needs to match the functionality, or ideally, the functionality needs to match the documentation (and intuition). :P
Is there anything like blessed + blessed-contrib for either of those? It'd be fairly trivial to write the bulk of potential-happiness in Java, if there was a display library like blessed + blessed-contrib in the JS world.
Author here. I'm running this in "production" (kinda, on laptop, looking at data from my own servers), and works for me. There are some annoying shortcomings, though, which I will fix, eventually.
Among them is error reporting and handling: there's pretty much none. If the network dies, potential-happiness will not be too happy: it will cry and crash.
Bug reports, feature requests and whatnot are of course appreciated. I wrote this mostly for my own use, so it isn't exactly friendly just yet. (That, and my JavaScript is terrible.)
I need them only rarely for some super long links (and honestly I don't remember the last time I had to use one), but I need some to suggest them to people who simply feel the need to use them because reasons. And for IRC bots.
I remember http://lamsonproject.org/ being a python SMTP server library thing. It may be possible to piece together something based on it. That covers the SMTP part.
Mind you, the git repo looks dead, with the last commit being over two years old.
I assume this comment is related to the journal. The article is not.
But, to reply: yes, many organisations have fully functional, well-debugged logging infrastructures. A lot of them also use binary log storage, and have been for over a decade, and are more than satisfied with the solution.
Both rsyslog and syslog-ng have been able to assist with setting such a thing up for about a decade now.
> Where are the rsyslogd and syslog-ng competitors to systemd's journald? Where is the interoperability? Where is the smooth, useful upgrade mechanism?
The journal has a syslog forwarded, but both rsyslog and syslog-ng can read directly from the journal. Interoperability was there from day one. Smooth upgrade mechanism took a while to iron out, but it's there now, too.
