Random network issues? Flakiness? Interfaces can’t transfer but are remaining “up”?
In my case this was due to a link flapping on one of my ES nodes due to someone jiggling the network cable accidentally. Don’t jiggle my cables, jerks.
RABBITMQ HATES ME
(3:56:52 PM) bunny: Argh, I don’t understand why memory is still climbing in rabbit when these messages are going down
(3:58:07 PM) bunny: Hmm… really trying to get the messages out now that that node is back in.
(3:59:51 PM) ai: yeah, that is weird.
(4:00:06 PM) ai: stupid rabbit messges aren’t for RAM?!?!?!

(4:00:28 PM) bunny: heh, yeah
Dear dev guy,
DIAF.

PS Huevos Rancheros
As requested, here is a Venn diagram for exclusive or.
Technically, that ‘^’ should be a ‘∩’, as it is really intersection that I mean and not AND (the complement of AND would also include everything that is neither A nor B), but Illustrator was a bitch and wouldn’t let me use that character. Since the original question conflated logical operations and set theoretical operations to begin with, I feel justified in my substitution.
Derp.
Installing PostgreSQL on OS X Lion
Under Mac OS X Lion, the PostgreSQL one-click installer always fails on the post-install step. Ugh.
If you run this as root (or prefix every line with “sudo”, ick). This will create the “postgres” user and its home directory, initialize the database, and add PostgreSQL to system startup.
dscl . -create /Users/postgres dscl . -create /Users/postgres NFSHomeDirectory /usr/local/postgres dscl . -create /Users/postgres UniqueID `dscl . -list /Users UniqueID | sort -n -k +2 | tail -1 | awk '{ print $2+1 }'` dscl . -create /Users/postgres PrimaryGroupID `dscl . -read /Users/_postgres PrimaryGroupID | awk '{ print $2 }'` mkdir -p /usr/local/postgres/data chown -R postgres:_postgres /usr/local/postgres sudo -u postgres -i /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/postgres/data curl -Lo /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist http://be.gs/postgresql.plist launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plistWhy not use the default “_postgres” user? I don’t what that user account is used for, or what Apple plans to do with that account in the future.
Facebook has quietly added support for Microformatsto its “Download Your Information” feature, it appears. The addition provides developers with a way to parse the profile information, posts, photos and videos contained in a Facebook user’s account. Although the change doesn’t have a direct impact on what a mainstream user can do with their Facebook data – you still can’t export your Facebook contact list, for example – it’s an important step for Facebook to make in terms of loosening its formerly tight control over user data.
If case you’re unfamiliar, “Download Your Information” is a relatively new Facebook feature, that, upon request, bundles your personal data in a large zip file and makes it available for download from Facebook’s “Account Settings“ page.
