There are today 0 long term waste facilities in the world, so none have failed obviously. There are a lot of (non-military) medium term waste facilities (since that is all we need right now) and none of them have experienced any radiation leak.
The idea was fantastic. A blade of air that swipes water off of your hands - one of the only air dryer products where you actually had dry hands after using the product.

The first CTA button on the page "Tutorial" links to a tutorial where the first step is to run the project with Docker. Doesn't really feel like an overly forced funnel to their paid service.
Grafana Labs needs to make a convincing comparison chart of some kind between Mimir, Thanos, and Cortex. Thanos and Cortex are both mature projects and are both CNCF Incubating projects. Why would anyone switch to a new prometheus long-term storage solution from those?

*EDIT*: I see from another reply there is a basic comparison to Cortex here: https://grafana.com/blog/2022/03/30/announcing-grafana-mimir... To the Mimir folks, I'd love to see something similar Mimir v. Thanos.
It's strange how we have a system based on entrepreneurship and innovation and we make doing those things next to impossible. Between the stress, the risk, and the workload it's a miracle anybody wants to start a new business. Just go to school to prepare yourself for one of the five monopolies. The incentives are backwards.
It's hard to tell exactly how this works but judging from the tutorial's docker-compose.yml [0] it looks like this runs as a separate API next to Prometheus and you tell Prometheus to write [1] to Mimir. I'm unclear how reads work from it or maybe there is no read?

Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding.

Good luck explaining to your boss that you can't fill the hiring rec because, even though you found qualified candidates, you disliked the fact that they had the audacity to be employed by a tech company you don't like and so they're "tainted". In expectation it's better for the business to lay you off and get someone not ideologically possessed to do hiring, in the same way it's better for the business to not have racist hiring managers.
> the title, which is a bit click-baity ...

My bad, I took the title from this thread¹ from 2 years ago which mentions that Lidl is planning to launch AWS competitor.

You are correct about German companies distrusting mainstream cloud providers. I guess the target audience for Stackit is mostly those German Mittelstands. I work with German corps and they would definitely have a mainstream provider with someone reliable like Lidl as a backer. In once case we found out the Google Analytics is storing the data in US centers by default and that made a lot of people deeply unhappy. I do have doubts that they might fall short of delivering their goal, but it is indeed an interesting development.

Unix time is not unambiguous. It is linked to UTC, so occasionally there are leap seconds, and there isn’t a standard format for these (two seconds == one second, or skip a second)[1]. TAI is a better format, but turns out the common TAI libraries just code the TAI offset from Unix time.

I don’t think I agree with ‘selfish’, but I don’t think I’d ever be close with anyone that uses this product, not because of their decision to use this produce itself, but because a person to uses this product is likely very disengaged from the real world.

I don’t usually share such negative opinions on HN, so please excuse this exception.

I’m trying to make a point about how *some people will see this product and quite literally not imagine a reasonable person wearing a device that disconnects them so much from their surroundings, and others who are surprised and confused as to why anyone would ever be outspokenly critical of a device that probably does work as advertised to help the user avoid air pollution.

Hetzner aren't aiming to prove your identity. They're most likely aiming to reduce their fraud risk by requiring you to have a relatively-hard-to-fake document which matches your payment details.

The reason we put some things in a Constitution is that we think those things are so important that they aren't subject to the whims of the electorate -- they aren't up to a vote. You don't get to have a vote about which religion will be the state religion. You don't get to vote away my right to Free Speech. And you shouldn't get to vote to limit my Constitutionally-defined private property rights.

Of course human beings want to restrict what other people do on their own land. History is full of groups of people just, you know, taking land whenever they think it suits their purposes. That's why the right to private property is in the Constitution. It's why Euclid was wrongly decided. And it's why you don't get to appeal to "democracy" in an attempt to abridge a fundamental right.
this is probably more due to pipes freezing
I expect that opposite will happen. Cities that are built for people (and not cars) will thrive. Nobody wants to drive everywhere. Cities that support multi-modal transportation and have mixed residential / commercial centers will thrive.

Chicago does this well. From my front door I have the follow options:

* The El (train, local stops)
* Metra (train, commuter that gets out to the burbs)
* Bus
* Taxi
* Divvy (e-bike rentals)
* Personal bike
* Walking

... and finally, yes, I can drive. But driving sucks. It's slow, expensive, and you still have to find parking.
If there's a market, it will happen. Even if only in a small amount.

I can't relate because I've been freelance since 2001, but I do remember how much I hated the fact that my bosses bought new cars and took trips and took credit for my work while I was making $8.50/hr as a junior webmonkey. Guess I never saw the future in it. But if I knew I'd be flying first class now, maybe I would reconsider...

In all seriousness, though, aren't people mostly paid what they're worth if they know how to demand it?

Recently switched from their cloud service back to on-premise. The cloud version wasn't being updated and the entire setup experience left a lot to be desired with how you connect their on-premise grafana agent, especially if you aren't using their easy button deployment stuff. Also, billing for metrics is insane, as on any given day my metric load may vary between 5-7k or more. This caused some operational overhead as I was constantly tweaking scrapers to reduce useless metrics.

For $50/mo, you can self host everything easier, cheaper and with more control IMO.

I'm currently having a bit of an existential crisis. I can't help but think "what is the point in writing software if it doesn't last".

> Suffice to say the experiment has failed entirely.

You've described the justice systems of modern progressive countries and what would you know, they work fine. The US needs a firm hand because it's culturally savage. Folks think about themselves and corporate "culture" is enshrined as something good and expected. Everyone sees the exploitation of other human beings and denigration everywhere, is it any surprise that they cannot behave in a manner that has a little compassion for themselves and everyone else? The entire environment is fundamentally dehumanising. No amount of localised niceness is going to undo decades of absolutely brutal culture.
You're making the assumption that everybody in the office prefers working from home.
Yes, though the distinction they want to get at is that the example at Poverty Point didn't have what we would usually refer to as a settled agrarian society with the usual social relations we know from the European examples. Though they do mention one similar "city" in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe which also seemed to form without the usual traits of civilisation.

You could fill pages on the subject of abstraction.

> You also may have enough clout and social standing that others may be reluctant to even consider the possibility that you cheated

This is what happened here initially. Some of the achievements Schmooey got were almost "too good to be true", but they were just close enough to what was considered feasible as to largely go unnoticed until people started looking closer. Schmooey was also friends with a ton of prominent GH players, such that he ran a fairly successful private Discord server. I was there when that place burned to the ground lmao.

It also didn't help that, at the December meetup that Schmooey attended, he avoided playing certain things that, given the skill level he'd built himself up as having, he should have had no problem tackling. I didn't notice this so much while actually at said meetup, as I largely focus on the Harmonix side of things (GH2 and Rock Band), but the other players there certainly brought it up after everyone had returned home.

Part of it might be due to the rise of static site generators which almost by definition do not directly support comments without having an additional non-static service, external or not.

Even just having an endpoint to submit comments seems a lot to ask when the site otherwise doesn't even need a database.

Ultimately I think the need/want for discussion is better served by different websites rather than asking every site to provide comments. It would be nice if browsers could integrate or at least link those comments for you.

Demystifying Software Release Note Issues on GitHub
"...While producing high quality RNs can be hard and poses a variety of challenges to developers, a comprehensive empirical understanding of these challenges is still lacking. In this paper, we bridge this knowledge gap by manually analyzing 1,731 latest GitHub issues to build a comprehensive taxonomy of RN issues with four dimensions: Content, Presentation, Accessibility, and Production. Among these issues, nearly half (48.47%) of them focus on Production; Content, Accessibility, and Presentation take 25.61%, 17.65%, and 8.27%, respectively.

We find that:

1) RN producers are more likely to miss information than to include incorrect information, especially for breaking changes;

2) improper layout may bury important information and confuse users;

3) many users find RNs inaccessible due to link deterioration, lack of notification, and obfuscate RN locations;

4) automating and regulating RN production remains challenging despite the great needs of RN producers..."

Can you describe the meaning of this phrase in some detail? I think I probably know your approximate meaning, but I'm interested to know a more detailed articulation of the idea.
> Can we assume that anyone who has worked at any of those companies has at best dubious morals, or are they instead small players in a big machine?

Why not both? They certainly are small players in a big machine, but the reality is that any engineer capable of getting a job in FAANG has plenty of other options that are less morally dubious. If they chose FAANG in spite of this they either don't believe it's immoral or are willing to look the other way for money/prestige.

I certainly wouldn't advocate for writing people off entirely based on their work history (after all, it could be that they went in not realizing the extent of the harm and that's why they're leaving), but I do think it's a factor worth considering.
If you were to replace all inbound/outbound subway connection of Manhattan with bridges and car traffic you would need 49 bridges the size of Manhattan bridge as a replacement.

I get this, and I've been using postgres for a long time, so I should get this. My point is that the barrier for entry is very high. Most folks that have experience with GraphQL and not intimate knowledge of Postgres security/access are going to struggle with this. It's much different than say, Postgraphile or Asura - both of which have a much lower barrier for entry. Folks are naturally going to compare. I've been following their GraphQL extension since its development announcement and I think this will end up being the better GraphQL product in the long term. I want Supabase to be a world-class product because I'm a fan, and that means world-class documentation.
"Externality" is one of the most tortured terms in widespread use and it would have been better if non-economists had never heard of it. Just because you don't like something, that doesn't mean anything has been "imposed" on you. You're dangerously close to describing the existence of other human beings as an "externality" that needs to be solved for, a view with a less-than-stellar track record.
Thank you for your answer. That seems like a reasonable strategy.

In my experience, beginners tend to underabstract, and it's the intermediately-experienced ones that go too far in the other direction. The most experienced ones are somewhere in the middle and closer to using abstractions where they make sense. Unfortunately, the majority of the community and industry is in the middle group.

Mimir has a microservices architecture. However, Mimir supports two deployment modes: monolithic and microservices.

In monolithic mode you deploy Mimir as a single process and all microservices (Mimir components) run inside the same process. Then you scale it out running more replicas. Deployment modes are documented here: https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/operators-guide/archit...
