第一次被人泼冷水

翻译了有不少时间了，第一次
具体说了什么，就不透露了
他其实也是有些不了解情况

不过事件本身说明一个问题
那就是很多中国的技术领域的英文"高手"从不看翻译的东西
之前包括我自己也是这样
原因在于：觉得翻译的东西靠不住

我参与翻译gentoo文档，目的之一就是想改变人们的这一印象，创出牌子来
让人们知道gentoo的中文文档是有质量保证的
不光准确翻译出意思，而且力求通顺流畅，"像"中文文章

当然和很多开源项目一样，最终要达到目的需要很多人的参与，包括译者的初始成果、读者的反馈和维护者迅速的反应。
最重要的还是初始成果，虽然难免错误，但一定要给读者以信心。这正是我们正在做的。

我支持老兄，你属于实实在在做事的那种人，做起事来也是有板有眼，让人钦佩。

至于其它人的言语，择其善者从之。还是但丁那句：“走自己的路，让别人去说吧！”。

加油！

gentoo中文文档翻译的确实不错，只可惜国人的垃圾书屡出不绝，wikipedia还不能访问，这年头好东西不多了。
替广大gentoo爱好者感谢版主!

Rippled thread cpu usage

Image
The cpu usage of xrp.ninja validator spikes every 2 hours. I always wonder what it is doing during the spikes. So I wrote a script to report the thead cpu usage to a statsd server.  I started statsd/graphite/grafana using  https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon Then I wrote this script: #!/usr/bin/python3 import collections import itertools import os import re import statsd import subprocess import time HEADER = b'%CPU COMMAND' STATSD = 'XXX' PORT = 'YYY' PREFIX = 'rippled.threads' TOP = 'env HOME={0} top -b -n 1 -p $(pgrep rippled) -H'.format(os.getcwd()) def report(c, jobs): p = subprocess.run(TOP, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) if p.returncode != 0: print(p.stderr) return m = collections.defaultdict(float) for line in itertools.dropwhile(lambda x: x != HEADER, p.stdout.splitlines()): if line == HEADER: continue usage, comm = line.decode().str
