@yamikuronue Actually, there seems to be something wrong with the Nginx config. Accessing /v6/api/ with your config gives me this in the log
2017/06/27 23:58:49 [error] 8034#8034: *1 invalid URL prefix in ":3000", client: 127.0.0.1, server: plonk, request: "GET /v6/api/ HTTP/1.1", host: "plonk"
Looks like Nginx isn't setting $backend as you expect. If I take out that variable and directly write
proxy_pass http://apiloadbalancer:3000
then it works
Normally, the Nginx error logs would have all the details. I'd double check for permissions etc to make sure Nginx is writing logs correctly.
There's nothing wrong with the config. It's probably the load balancers returning something Nginx doesn't like. I'd try and see what
curl --verbose http://apploadbalancer:3000
returns within the Nginx container
Feels about right
Just for fun, if I try to go for as much equality, world, liberty and progress as possible:

Well, there's your problem.
Seriously, though. If you ever recommend Arch to a newbie, you're a bad person.
The Arch wiki makes it pretty clear it's meant for experienced Linux users.
I'm glad it works for you, you're a lucky guy. It's a very hard to fix distro, though. If it breaks, you need to read like a hundred of five thousand words articles on the Arch wiki, if you decide to post a question on the forums, you're probably gonna get the "shrug, where are he logs" at some point, and quite often no explanations which logs are needed.
And break it can, because bleeding edge.
I can tell you I have a better experience with any (mainstream) Linux distribution today than any Linux distribution 5 years ago, simply because Linux has gotten better (for me at least). Better hardware support and better out-of-the-box experience overall. "Hard to fix" isn't a problem for me because things rarely break, even on Arch. I'd argue that Arch is much easier to fix (if you are indeed Arch's target audience) but that's besides the point

Look, I wasn't very careful when I came up with that number, so it's not really accurate. On some days I only do it once or twice, or even not at all if I'm pressed for time. And on some days, I keep doing and re-doing it because I'm not happy with the result or I forgot a step, and the number could be higher

@Luhmann Here's another explanation: it's not a bug because it's not designed to be do source control: It's designed to do git

I think your detector may be on the fritz again. Or maybe I just looked at that post and decided it was so stupid there's no way it could be serious
Did you know that even after you run git commit
to create a snapshot of some data, it is possible to lose that snapshot through normal usage of git without running into any bugs? And that's considered working as designed? Name any other "source control tool" that does this

Once you accept that, you can start to learn how git may be used to do source control
So you have a Kiwi car that doesn't drive nice until you learn how it kiwi's. Once you master the Kiwi it will turn out to drive perfectly.
Uh ... yeah, sure ... but let's return to usability shall we ...
I don't think I've said git's usability was good. There are things in git that make absolutely no sense in a source control tool, that you must learn to deal with in order to use git properly.
As a source control tool, it can be unintuitive and arcane. But it does work and lets me do what I want, much easier than any other tool I've used

You can fumble through life not understanding how the world works, and have a bad time when fantasy meets reality, or you can learn how to work with what you've got. Same with cars, same with git
Cars have been made easy to use. Git has not. Please explain why this is an excusable situation.
Git is easy to use, once you figure out what it does.
What git doesn't do is source control, or whatever the hell everyone seems to think it does. It does one thing and one thing only: git. Any application to source control should be seen as a side effect of what git actually doing, which is git. Once you accept that, you can start to learn how git may be used to do source control

Yes. I am comparing them. At first its weird and unintuitive, and feels like nothing you've done before, and some kind of weird abstraction leak from the implementation to (all of which is true).
Press one pedal to open the throttle, press another to open the clutch. Seems pretty intuitive to me. As for using a lever to select a gear, that's pretty intuitive too, especially since the gears are laid out in a simple and intuitive manner.
So why does the gas pedal only work sometimes? Only when the clutch is engaged? Why?
Why can't I move the gear stick around when the clutch is engaged? Why can't everything just work when either the clutch is engaged or disengaged, so we don't have to deal with this bullshit?
And what does any of this have to do with me driving from point A to point B? I just need this damn car to move when I tell it to

Wrong.
Unless you're using a shitty distro or really weird media formats, it kinda does.
I used to have Arch on EEEPC. Flash used ALSA for sound, Skype used OSS. I tried for half a year to make them both sound clear simultaneously (they each worked on their own, with slightly different config); tried and failed. And I've had to switch between speakers and headphones manually. Fuck this shit, no more Linux on multimedia machine.
What the fuck? What's wrong with you people?! Repeat after me: you don't use Arch, you should never use Arch, Arch is fucked up, Arch is bad for you, you can use Arch only if you're a hard core Linux user with 10 years of experience and have a serious skin condition.
What the fuck are you smoking? I used (U/K/X)ubuntu, Debian and Fedora for a number of years before discovering Arch and settled down with it a couple of years ago. Arch is absolutely my favourite distro out of everything I've used, and I'm using it on my laptop and VPS with no complaints whatsoever.
And FYI, my skin is not terrible (but I have been using Linux for around 10 years)

@cark said in How would I write this in Kanji?:
Kanji is the character set used in the written language of the Han Chinese, which is also used in Japanese, Korean, and a number of other languages.
Almost, but not quite.
Kanji is derived from Traditional Chinese characters a.k.a. hanzi, but later underwent a simplification that was different to and not as extensive as the creation of Simplified Chinese. As for Korean, that has another variant called hanja, again a derivative, not an exact copy.
You're treating the different written forms of the same character as different characters.
@cark said in How would I write this in Kanji?:
Also, to use a loanword instead of the perfectly cromulent "Chinese characters" is just sloppy writing
Loanwords are used when there's no native word, and it's not limited to Japanese: all common languages have loanwords.
I'm saying Kanji should be written as "Chinese characters" in English
Kanji is the character set used in the written language of the Han Chinese, which is also used in Japanese, Korean, and a number of other languages. You can't construct a sentence without specifying which language's vocabulary and grammer rules to use. You might as well ask how to write it in the Arabic alphabet

Just out of curiosity, I went to check what empty() does
What were you expecting? Looking at the documented return values, the only input argument considered empty that makes me feel uneasy is the string "0".
I would expect, from a sane language, an error when trying to coerce a non-integer value into a boolean. There is no possible sane behaviour for empty(), especially as a builtin.
I won't deny that it is handy and that I use it extensively myself, though.
and you know what else the ORM I used yesterday didn't support? Joining a subquery. I mean, fucking baby jesus, they're like in every fucking second query I write. How the FUCK do they not support that?! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
