failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client:
If you are getting the above error in nginx logs running in from of upstream servers you may consider doing this as it worked for me:
check the ulimit on the machines and ensure it is high enough to handle the load coming in. 'ulimit' on linux, I am told determines the maximum number of open files the kernel can handle.
The way I did that?
modifying limits: for open files:
--------------------------------
add or change this line in /etc/systcl.conf
fs.file-max = <limit-number>

Since 2008 or 2009 I work on Apple hardware and OS: back then I grew tired of Linux desktop (which is going to be MASSIVE NEXT YEAR, at least since 2001), and switched to something that Just Works. Six years later, it less and less Just Works, started turning into spyware and nagware, and doesn't need much less maintenance than Linux desktop — at least for my work, which is system administration and software development, probably it is better for the mythical End User person. Work needed to get software I need running is not less obscure than work I'd need to do on Linux or othe Unix-like system. I am finding myself turning away from GUI programs that I used to appreciate, and most of the time I use OSX to just run a terminal, Firefox, and Emacs. GUI that used to be nice and unintrusive, got annoying. Either I came full circle in the last 15 years of my computer usage, or the OSX experience degraded in last 5 years. Again, this is from a sysadmin/developer ki

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

Workaround so you can use `docker run --env-file .env` and read variables with newline escape sequences in them
#!/bin/bash
# Docker can't pass newlines to containers if there are \n in variables in
# --env-file files. This tool creates a $1.exported file with newlines that
# can be sourced before running your container and a $1.vars for you to pass
# to --env-files so docker passes those variables to the container.
# Usage:
# dockerize-env .env
# This creates: .env.vars and .env.exported

talk given by John Ousterhout about sustaining relationships

"Scar Tissues Make Relationships Wear Out"

04/26/2103. From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS142.

This is my most touchy-feely thought for the weekend. Here’s the basic idea: It’s really hard to build relationships that last for a long time. If you haven’t discovered this, you will discover this sooner or later. And it's hard both for personal relationships and for business relationships. And to me, it's pretty amazing that two people can stay married for 25 years without killing each other.

[Laughter]

> But honestly, most professional relationships don't last anywhere near that long. The best bands always seem to break up after 2 or 3 years. And business partnerships fall apart, and there's all these problems in these relationships that just don't last. So, why is that? Well, in my view, it’s relationships don't fail because there some single catastrophic event to destroy them, although often there is a single catastrophic event around the the end of the relation
