Q: Nginx performance when running multiple instances on the same machine I'm trying to understand the performance impact of having multiple nginx instances (masters) running on the same machine, rather than having them all load into a single instance using different server blocks. How does the use of multiple instances of nginx impact things like worker_process and worker_connections optimization?
I see tons of advice indicating that worker_process should mirror the number of cores, and at most should be double the number of cores. I'm also to understand that the worker_connections should match the ulimit, or be a bit under the ulimit. Making too many connections available, or having too many workers per core is supposed to hurt performance.
I have two cores and a ulimit of 1024, but I have 4 instances of nginx each of which has the following settings:
worker_processes 4;
worker_connections: 1024;

Doesn't this have the same effect as if I had worker_processes 16; and  worker_connections 4069;?
Note: Let me make clear when I say nginx instances, I mean that there are 4 independent master nginx process each fed a different config file which has similar settings, and each with their own workers.
Note 2: This scenario is something I've inherited and is already in place. I am trying to figure out if I should change the way nginx is configured and have an informed reason for it.

A: From a system point of view, there is no inherent differences in running 4 masters with 4 server sections, or a single master with 16 server sections. It implements the same architecture : parallelized event-based processes.
The worker/core ratio must be accounted wrt the total of workers across all of your masters if you have several ones. This comes from several constraints :

*

*make sure CPUs are not overloaded, thus number of workers should be <= number of cores

*make sure parallelization and OS scheduling is used to its best, thus number of workers should be as high as possible

*HTTP server workers are low on CPU usage and mostly wait on I/Os, thus it'as actually safe to allocate something between 2 or 4x the number of cores

It should be a little more efficient with a single master, since a few ressources like MIME maps and so on will only be loaded once. But that's a minor point.
It should be more efficient with a single master, because there is a single large pool of workers shared by all servers. If a single server momentarily requires most workers (say 16), it might get them. On multi-master configuration (say 4 masters with 4 workers), they only get to use at most what they have : 4 workers. On the other hand it might be the desired effect : strictly split in 4 instances to make sure each one always get at least the quarter of your host attention. But never more.
It should be easier to configure and maintain with 1 master (think: security updates).
It should be more resilient with 4 masters : you're allowed to crash or totally mess one master configuration without touching the 3 others.
Unless your 4 masters use different Nginx versions, you won't benefit from uber-optimisations like having the exact set of modules compiled in for each master.

The Wisecrack Guide to The Purge TV Series – Wisecrack Quick Take
Welcome to this Quick Take on the Must-Know Philosophy of USA Network's The Purge!
Written by: Alec Opperman
Directed by: Michael Luxemburg
Narrated by: Jared Bauer
Edited by: Mark Potts
Motion Graphics by: Drew Levin
Produced by: Emily Dunbar
This video was sponsored by The Purge on USA Network. Hey Wisecrack, Jared here. As you all know, we're pretty big fans of the Purge, so we were pretty stoked when USA came to us and gave us a sneak peak of the first two episodes of the new Purge TV series a ten episode television event that premieres on September 4th. We've already discussed the socioeconomic themes prevalent in the Purge films, but the show has already shown some promise in extending these themes in some interesting ways.
So for those of you excited for the for the show's launch, we're going to go through a couple key philosophical and sociological concepts to frame the way you watch the show. So without further adieu, welcome to this Wisecrack Quicktake on what you need to know before you watch the Purge on USA. As we've discussed in our Philosophy of video, the Purge largely functions as an extended metaphor for the way entire groups of people become disposable in our current economic environment.
In this case, the New Founding Fathers literally specify one day out of the year so that the rich can eradicate the superfluous poor, who are deemed economic burdens. As the revolutionary Dante Bishop says, it's a lot easier to just kill the poor than to provide them with healthcare, welfare, housing etc. We also see how the Purge can promote the interests of the well-to-do in society, who actively profit off the chaos. In the first film, the upper-middle class Sandin family makes bank selling home security systems to everyone in their gated community.
In the Purge TV show, all of this is still front and center – the rich and well connected throw parties from secured houses while everyone else is forced to fend for themselves- especially the inner city folk. But one of the things that's really interesting about the TV series is that is explores how order emerges in anarchy. Now if that sounds confusing, just stick with me. Considers how The Purge is basically the temporary suspension of society its laws, norms, and institutions all go out the window once the clock strikes 7. But in the TV show, we see how even in anarchy, different kinds of social bonds will arise amidst an anarchic murder-athon.
One of those seedlings of order is a market: a means for people to exchange goods and services. This one just exists for 12 hours. The Purge has always been lucrative, don't get me wrong, but so far we've mostly seen profit that happens before of after the purge -home security systems, guns, insurance, you get the idea. In the show, we see how people coordinate actions by skipping the brute force and using good ol' fashioned cash.
For example, we learn many cab drivers work on purge night to take advantage of the surge pricing. "You're not working all night are you?" "Some guys do. Driving around crazies for that purge surge." Elsewhere an assassin takes contracts to kill people, but only during the hours in which its legal. Is conspiracy to commit murder still a crime if the murder happens on the purge? And do you declare that as a 1099? I digress. With all the poor people the purge has gotten rid of, there's a lot more capital just sitting in the pockets of the New Founding Fathers bigwigs. Thus we follow a couple going to an NFFA Purge party for the sole purpose of stomaching the brutal indifference of the elite in order to shmooze a NFFA party member to invest in their new project.
And no doubt, we'll probably see a fair amount of insider trading happening at these 1% Purge parties. So money is one way to organize things – instead of beating people to get what you want, markets can facilitate exchange. But there's one other way the tv show explores order amidst the anarchy: social contracts. At its core, the idea of a social contract is that we sacrifice certain rights to enjoy living in a society. So even if I want to steal candy from children as a hobby, I have to give up this passtime to enjoy not living in the Purge for 365 days a year. The Purge films have largely emphasized the way humanity acts when the law is suspended, when the social contract ceases.
When the clock strikes 7, and without threat of legal retribution, people revert to their primal selves as they release the beast.
It's a specific narrative of human nature proposed by philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who theorized that before governments came along, life was basically the beta version of the Purge. But it's a narrative The Purge franchise has been challenging, even in the First Purge, where the government first needed to sow discord to get people hyped about murder night. While the show certainly has strong elements of a Hobbesian "war of all against all," it's not quite so cynical. Rather than everyone reverting to their allegedly "natural" and violent selves without the threat of the lawman, we see that most people want to just get along. Many avoid the purge altogether, and even within the purge, we see a kind of social contract starting to emerge.
For instance, paramedics are left alone, not because of some law, but rather as a social norm. "You're safe with us, we're off limits. Unwritten purge law." Others sign literal contracts that forfeit their right to purge, as they attend parties or pull all-nights in locked down office buildings. "Once the purge begins this floor will be locked down as a safe zone. You and all other workers have signed waivers giving up their rights to purge on this floor for the entire evening."
However, we see a bar that suspends all purging privileges based only out of mutual respect/fear for the owner of the bar, somewhat like Hobbes' Leviathan. But unwritten laws in the form of social norms aren't always so rosey. The show looks at the darker side as a woman, having worked her ass off for years, is teased with the opportunity to make partner and her prestigious firm. But the unspoken rule that thwarts her progress is her unwillingness to reciprocate her boss's creepy propositions. Although he hasn't come out and said it, she knows the only thing standing between her and her dream, is her unwillingness to put out.
We're only two episodes in, but seeing as the whole 10 episode series focuses on Purge night, we can definitely expect to see more commentaries on human nature in the face of chaos. Also, a list of things I would do in a purge: Import exotic pets. Cut the tag off my mattress. Arrange large purchases with no sales tax. File my taxes fraudulently. Get like, a thousand dollars with of fireworks. Not pick up my dog's poop from the sidewalk. Just a ton of copyright infringement. File patents for things I didn't invent. Reverse engineer a popular game and sell it for cheaper. And I'm definitely double parking. Be sure to watch The Purge, Tuesdays on USA Network.

So, Mac has been walking back and forth between Hubby and I for a few weeks now, but he hadn't actually taken the initiative to go anywhere on his own. He was getting really fast at cruising furniture and walls (and toilets, and garbages and hey - did you know that paper towels and toilet paper taste good?? ) but he hadn't as of yet let go of a piece of furniture and walked to an other one alone.
I was grocery shopping yesterday and ran into my midwife and we got talking and I was telling her that he could walk, but didn't really realize that he could yet. I went home and what does he do??? He walks from the couch to the table - about five steps - all on his own. I was sooooo excited!! (He just looked at me like I was retarded!) So it's time to really baby proof the house now, because NOTHING is safe anymore.

The Centre for Social and Cultural Data Science, in partnership with the Max Bell School of Public Policy and the Business Development Bank of Canada is proud to present the Policy and Data Science (PODS) Summer Program!
This innovative program selects motivated McGill undergraduate students with non technical backgrounds to learn invaluable data science techniques and apply them to important policy theory and questions.
May 8th from 9:30am-1:00pm in Thomson House Ballroom (3rd floor).
This event brings together researchers from the social, cultural, and computational sciences for a half-day, multi-disciplinary collaborative event. We welcome all students, researchers, and professionals who are interested in social and cultural data science. Lunch is provided.
The use of advanced quantitative and computational methods to investigate research questions emerging from the humanities, arts, and social sciences presents many opportunities.
Computational methods allow researchers to use data and models to investigate social and cultural phenomena in novel ways and at previously impractical scales. Such efforts, in turn, stimulate methodological innovations and novel applications of existing methods.
The McGill Centre for Social and Cultural Data Science (CSCDS or "cascades" for short) is a multi-disciplinary community of scholars with a shared interest in developing advanced quantitative and computational methods, and applying them to research in the humanities and social sciences. We can achieve these aims best collaboratively, working as a single, cohesive community. As a result, our community consists of both researchers in the social and cultural sciences who seek to apply new techniques in their inquiries and those from quantitative disciplines with interests in discovering new applications, motivations, and contexts for their work.
Fostering methodological innovation in quantitative and computational analytics, and their application to research in the social sciences and humanities.
Providing training to increase interdisciplinary work and the collaboration between scholars in computer science, quantitative analysis, social sciences, and humanities.
Increasing methodological familiarity with quantitative and computational methods among social science and humanities researchers.
Critically reflecting on the ethical dilemmas and social ramifications of advanced analytic and computational methods.
We're always looking for opportunities and new ways to serve our mission. If you're interested in joining the Centre or have ideas for future Centre activities, please get in touch by cscds [at] mcgill.ca (email).
How can we improve Montreal?
On October 25th, the Centre celebrated its official launch!


There are many people who claim that taking a cab is cheaper, since you don't have to buy the car, and don't need to pay all the related costs, including but not limited to: road tax, maintenance charges, fuel, parking fee etc.
There are other people who claim that buying a car is cheaper, since cab fares are way too expensive compared to the fuel cost – 7 Rs/km.
Owning a car or using a cab argument varies across geographies. In Mumbai, mostly people are comfortable using public transport or cabs whereas in Delhi mostly people prefer using their own cars.
So that leaves us with a question – Which is better, owning a car or using a cab.
Purely, speaking in financial terms, one should not invest in depreciating assets. The moment a new car is taken out of the showroom, it value decreases by 20%.
For example, you purchase a car for Rs 5 lacs, the next day value of the car will be Rs 4 lac. However, owning a car provides a lot of convenience especially in places where public transportation is not good.
Prefer public transportation. You can prefer public transportation where services are reliable. For eg. Delhi has a good transportation system with good Metro service and buses. Even the cab service by various cars renting companies is reliable. You can evaluate the comfort and cost element.
Driver's salary. In case you stay in a crowded city such as Mumbai, add the cost of a driver if you are planning to purchase a car.
Know your purchasing limits. Know your capacity by looking at 3 year EMI and not more than that. Usually people who are planning to purchase a car would look at even a 7 years term. More the term of loan more is the interest. So keep it short.
Car pool. Pooling will not only help you save money but also save the effort of driving on a daily basis.
Office cab service. It's totally worth it to use office cab from all perspectives. You can easily delay the decision of buying a car.
One car dependency. If you use cab service you are not dependent on one car. It doesn't matter if the cab tyre bursts or there is some mechanical problem, you can simply call another one.
These are suggestions based on limited set of situations. You are the best judge of what is right for you. Make right decisions and be financially smart.

On behalf of Gellner Law Offices posted in Medical Malpractice on Tuesday, March 19, 2019.
Even though incidents of medical malpractice may vary in regards to what actually happened, many of these situations have one thing in common: communication was lacking. Health care professionals in West Virginia must communicate with each other and streamline their efforts to disseminate information between parties in a way that is concise and thorough.
On behalf of Gellner Law Offices posted in Medical Malpractice on Friday, January 11, 2019.
Many people in West Virginia rely on Medicaid to supply them with medical insurance. If you are one of these people, this coverage is probably very important to you. However, it can be taken away if abused. It does not even have to be you who abuses it. Medicaid fraud put everyone at risk of losing benefits. There are several ways a doctor may commit this type of fraud.
Can I be prescribed the wrong medication?
On behalf of Gellner Law Offices posted in Medical Malpractice on Thursday, October 18, 2018.
Following your trip to your West Virginia doctor, you may receive a drug prescription for your newly diagnosed medical disorder. Naturally, you expect that your physician has done due diligence in making sure you have the correct medication or that your pharmacy will fill the correct order. However, sometimes a patient can end up with the incorrect drug.
What is required to prove medical malpractice?
On behalf of Gellner Law Offices posted in Medical Malpractice on Wednesday, August 22, 2018.
There are many situations where people in West Virginia may not be happy with a health care provider, but how can you know when your situation goes beyond just being unhappy and is an actual case of medical malpractice? The answer lies in the law, which is very specific as to what needs to be proven in order for a charge of malpractice to be levied.
On behalf of Gellner Law Offices posted in Medical Malpractice on Wednesday, May 30, 2018.
Medical patients should understand the possible risks that come with any treatment for their illness, condition or injury. A failure on the part of a West Virginia physician to relay this information can result in a patient agreeing to a treatment that can result in harm or injury.
On behalf of Gellner Law Offices posted in Medical Malpractice on Friday, March 23, 2018.
Anyone who goes to emergency rooms in the Wheeling area expects to receive immediate treatment for what ails them. They understand that there may be times when they must wait longer than expected due to priority being given to patients who have more serious conditions and life-threatening injuries. They might not realize there is a high-risk of things going wrong in emergency rooms. Many emergency rooms across the country are understaffed. The health care professionals who work in them are overworked and stressed. According to MSU Today, "mistakes and never events are more likely to occur" as the amount of stress physicians and health care workers experience increases.


An environmental campaign group has warned south Bucks to not be "complacent" about pollution levels on a busy High Wycombe road – despite figures falling under the national limit.
A number of congested areas in Wycombe and Marlow – including Chapel Street - are either close to or exceed the national limit of 40 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide per cubic metre and action needs to be taken to address the issue, according to Wycombe Friends of the Earth.
In 2015 the yearly average of nitrogen dioxide levels in the London Road was 38.1 micrograms/m3, compared with 40.1 in 2011 – showing a drop of two micrograms/m3.
However the campaign group says these figures "are not levels that one should be complacent about" as they do not taken into account other traffic pollutants.
A representative said: "A Report produced last year by the Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health titled "Every Breath We Take: The Lifelong Impact of Air Pollution", estimated that around 40,000 premature deaths in the UK per year are attributable to outdoor air pollution, mostly from traffic.
"The 40 micrograms per cubic metre of nitrogen dioxide equivalent is the level set by law at a European level, and is to some extent arbitrary.
"Levels close to but below 40 won't be much less harmful than levels just above.
Wycombe District Council confirmed it is investigating the air quality in High Wycombe town centre, as well as other busy roads in the town, and will present the findings this year.
Spokesman for Wycombe District Council, Catherine Spalton, said: "We've commissioned some air quality modelling reports for High Wycombe town centre (including arterial roads such as London Road), Marlow town centre and the M40 corridor.

Robin Eggar
In the music industry Robin Eggar has lived his life backwards. Back in the day he was a press officer at RCA records, where was allowed to meet David Bowie, do press for Iggy Pop and Dolly Parton and answer the phones the day Elvis died. In 1978 fired for moonlighting as the manager of the Members he went on to manage the band to Sound of the Suburbs success but bids for world domination foundered. He also represented Jane Kennaway, Johnny Warman and record producers Steve Lillywhite and Hugh Padgham.
After a stint as the Daily Mirror's rock and pop writer, including covering the recording of Band Aid from inside the studio, he went freelance working for national and international newspapers and magazines including The Sunday Times, Esquire, You Magazine, Marie Claire, the Times, the Daily Mail, Us magazine, Cosmopolitan, the Face, Time Out, the NME, the Observer, the Word, the Sunday Mirror Magazine and Rolling Stone.

class=img_thumbleft> A substantial majority of Minnesotans continue to disapprove of the job being done by President Bush, according to the latest poll numbers released by SurveyUSA today. The sampling of 600 adults, with a +/- error of four percentage points, found that 56 percent of residents surveyed disapproved of the President's work, while just 39 percent approved. The SurveyUSA tracking numbers have remained steady in recent months, but show a substantial erosion of support for Bush during the last year. Last May, the President's job approval rating among Minnesotans was a comparatively healthy 47 percent, while 49 percent disapproved of his work.
The national numbers are almost as bad for Bush. SurveyUSA found that 41 percent of voters across the country approve of the job he is doing, while 56 percent disapprove. In only 12 states do the President's supporters outnumber his detractors. Utah is the most pro-Bush state, with 61 percent of residents giving his White House tenure the thumbs up.
Residents in 14 states gave the President lower approval ratings than Minnesotans, including Ohio and Arkansas, both of which Bush carried in 2004. Ohio, owing to its size and electoral votes, is particularly striking. Just 38 percent of residents indicated that they approved of the job the President is doing, while 60 percent disapproved.

"Overcoming Knowledge-Transfer Barriers in Infrastructure Management Ou" by Weijun Zheng, Stephen Hawk et al.
This article describes how a global firm (JohnsonDiversey, Inc. - JDI) and an offshore Indian IT service provider (Wipro Technologies) successfully overcame the knowledge-transfer barriers associated with infrastructure management (IM) outsourcing. Case study evidence is used to describe how these two firms worked together to transfer responsibility for managing JDI's entire infrastructure to Wipro using a global delivery model. The article describes the specific knowledge-transfer challenges encountered and the solutions used to overcome them during a three-phase migration plan. It concludes with important lessons learned about pre-contract and post-contract activities that other organizations can apply to increase the likelihood that IM offshore outsourcing will be successful.

Broken jaw, broken nose, skin burnt off: foreign truck drivers' nightmare in SA
26 August 2019 - 11:24 By TimesLIVE
The N3, the main route between Johannesburg and Durban, where protesters have burnt trucks.
"One of them, who had a pistol in his hand, ordered me to tip all the coal in my truck on to the road and to leave the truck and go back to Zimbabwe. I tipped over the coal and ran away."
This is how a foreign truck driver described his terrifying ordeal at the hands of a mob that forced him to stop in Witbank, Mpumalanga. "They demanded to see my licence, shouting that all foreign drivers must fall."
Human Rights Watch said in a report on Monday, citing estimates by SA's Road Freight Association (RFA), that more than 200 people, mostly foreign truck drivers, had been killed in such incidents the country since March 2018.
"South African authorities should urgently intervene to stop the unlawful, unprovoked, and violent attacks and harassment of foreign truck drivers and bring the perpetrators to justice," said Dewa Mavhinga, southern Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
"Any problems in the trucking industry, including undocumented drivers, are for the relevant authorities to address, and there is no defence to groups committing such violent, horrific crimes."
Human Rights Watch said foreign truck drivers were victims of violence, intimidation and harassment in a cycle of what it called xenophobic violence.

"Groups of people claiming to be South African truck drivers have thrown gasoline bombs at trucks and shot at, stoned, stabbed, and harassed foreign truck drivers to force them out of the trucking industry. Many foreign truck drivers have lost their jobs, despite having valid work permits, or have been unable to return to work due to injuries or damage to their trucks," said Human Rights Watch.
In June and July, the organisation, which investigates and reports on abuses around the globe, conducted 35 interviews with foreign and South African truck drivers, a lawyer, the minister of home affairs and activists in Johannesburg, Witbank, Durban and Pietermaritzburg.
Leaders of the All Truck Drivers Foundation (ATDF), an association of local truck drivers, told Human Rights Watch they opposed companies hiring undocumented foreign truck drivers. However, 18 of 23 foreign drivers interviewed by Human Rights Watch had valid SA work permits.
Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi told Human Rights Watch he was aware that attacks on truck drivers and their vehicles had spread from Durban to Mpumalanga. Though there was a home affairs directive allowing foreign truck drivers to work in SA on a visitor's permit, he said some employers hired foreign truck drivers without following the relevant government policy.
Truck driver burnt, shot in brutal KZN attack
A KwaZulu-Natal truck driver was killed in yet another brutal attack in the province on Monday.
Human Rights Watch shared chilling interviews with drivers who had been targeted. They included:
• On June 23, a group of armed men claiming to be ATDF members targeted truck drivers in Ermelo, Mpumalanga, threatening to kill five drivers, forcing them to flee and abandon their trucks. One of them, a Malawian, said he was stopped and ordered to hand over the keys or die on the spot. "No foreigners on our trucks. All foreign truck drivers must fall," he was told. He called the truck owner for help and hid away. A local driver was sent to retrieve the vehicle.
• On June 16, a Malawian driver was stopped on the N3 highway, about 150km from Durban, on the road to Johannesburg. He was ordered to call his employer to say he was resigning and that the company should not employ foreigners. He complied. He was ordered to leave the truck and return to his country.
• On May 18, on the N3 at Mooi River, a Zimbabwean driver was injured by stones that shattered the windshield, forcing him to stop. He was told the truck was attacked because the company hired foreign drivers. He sustained serious facial injuries, including a broken jaw, split lips and a broken nose. He was dismissed by the company for being negligent.
• On April 27, a Zimbabwean driver asleep in his truck at the Durban port was petrol bombed. He escaped, but was severely burnt, losing movement in one arm, where his shirt got stuck to his body in the fire. Speaking from hospital on June 29, he said he had been unable to speak for three days after the attack. He had not heard feedback from police since giving a statement. Due to his injuries, he may not be able to work again. His asylum documents, driver's permit and passport were burnt in the truck.

Letty Aronson, Jaume Roures, Stephen Tenenbaum
Since 1994's "Bullets Over Broadway," Woody Allen's younger sister, Letty Aronson, has served as producer on his films.
"We tried to (shoot) this script about two or three years prior to our (summer 2010) shoot, but it was just too expensive," Aronson recalls. "We couldn't make it work on the budget. In the interim, the French government passed the tax rebate for international production and the difference made it possible. Once the rebate went through, we were able to do it because I had already made a three-picture deal with (Spain's) Mediapro and this was one of their pictures. So the money was in place."
HIGH HURDLES:
According to Aronson, besides keeping the film's time-traveling premise under wraps until the film's first screening at Cannes, the biggest challenge involved working around Woody's sleep schedule while shooting in Paris: "It was more difficult because we are not accustomed to working nights, but since 50% of the movie (takes place) at night we didn't have a choice," she says. "We had to work until 2 or 3 in the morning. The problem was that Woody does not like to work at night. He originally thought we could do it from 10 to 1 in the morning, but it gets dark late in Europe, so that just wasn't possible."
DOMINO EFFECT:
"Owen (Wilson) was the first to come on board. Once he came on, Woody built around him."

The American military and Aviator look in sunglasses dates back to the Second World War when national figures in the fighting forces such as Patton, Eisenhower and Macarthur popularised the wire-framed shades with decidedly macho connotations. It was a look that would continue in the far removed context of rock stars like Lou Reed and Bob Dylan.
