I have a Dell 24" at 1920x1080. I have a large oak office desk, so I use a clamp on articulating arm to avoid the stand clutter. Works okay, but keep in mind that the articulating arm can only handle so much weight when extended.
That 25" monitor has my attention (posted below)

According to El Reg Google and its terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week in full • The Register the interwebs had a PC meltdown last week and I heard nothing about it here on CP. Or did I miss something here as well.
I was tempted to reply to a comment about the various social network attracting the rabid from both side to mention he missed out on the soapbox but thought better of introducing CP to El Reg

I just saw somewhere that Julien Assange just offered the sacked google engineer a job. That should do wonders for his credibility.

Soapbox material - getting close I'm sure, but actually Julian Assange is very credible even if you don't care for him or his work. It takes 6 months to a year or more to verify everything they publish. Just saying. So if the engineer would work with Julian, then his credibility is not in question, at least for me. Treasonous perhaps.

How true. Another thing is Assange and his website have never been wrong!

I think "meltdown" is a bit of a strong term for it: Someone expressed an unpopular opinion and was fired for it.
The only way this becomes noteworthy is if he wins the anti-discrimination lawsuit, but history holds that he won't.

Website makes AJAX calls (HTTPS posts) to the server that sends websocket commands to the target client at a specific site which then uses RabbitMQ to update the BeagleBones.
Between my code library (open source), various open source libraries like RabbitMQ, jQuery, Newtonsoft.Json, and websocket-client, and a good application-specific architecture, the communication chain executes around 50 lines of application-specific code from Javascript -> C# (server) -> C# (client) -> Python (BeagleBone).
Amazing.

Have pity on a poor desktop developer who knows next to nothing about web development.
Is 50 lines of code amazing because it's very little, or very much?

Seemingly works is a better way of putting it. That goes for most web/cloud development. Then you hit that super rare race condition and no one can repro it in dev

Because it's very little, and as Chris said, because it works.

Yup. Technically, I could set up a websocket between the web server and the BB's directly, thus avoiding two intermediate steps, but that introduces other complications, such as verifying permissions, recovery routines on the BB, and having the BB's notify the local server of state change (everything gets logged to a database), so for now, this is the simplest approach -- as in it took the least amount of code to write -- didn't have to touch the BB code at all because the functionality already existed for remote state management.
Ugh, didn't mean to get into that level of detail.
But the main point is, this is for monitoring BB status remotely and clearing a couple states, the recovery in case of a comm / server failure is straightforward, so if it fails, it's not "mission critical."
