I used Kapacitor 1.x and Chronograf 1.x for a couple years. I found TICKscript to be confusing, underdocumented, and a pain to manage. I thought Chronograf was OK.

I switched to Grafana for both alerts and data visualization and everything is just better than what I had with Kapacitor and Grafana. Kapacitor seemed to use a lot more CPU power, but that may be because data is streamed to it instead of periodically queried.

What is it about those two products that you like enough to keep using them or wanting them to be developed?
That's just the python interpreter inside Docker being called from outside Docker. That's basically a configuration to call:

docker exec -i container_name python3 myfile.py

What VSCode does is much more powerful. It's as if you opened VSCode from inside the container. It works because VSCode installs a server inside the container so the world is now your container and you get full isolation, precise tooling and other goodies.

In my case the development Docker file has all dependencies devs need to work on the project. No need to fight with versions of npm, node, Python, Java, Go, nginx, Caddy, yada yada. Everything is configured in the Docker file. Everyone on the team gets a copy of the exact same environment.

We could even attach to a remote container running somewhere in "the cloud" if we wanted to.
I think these reference materials are more about how they’re well-characterized, right?

It’s peanut butter, sure, but it’s not meant to be the peanut butter or even represent any particular peanut butter.

Instead, it comes with a detailed document describing all of the kinds of measurements you could take on it and their expected results. If you’ve got a peanut butter testing machine, you can put some in there and make sure it spits out the same result.

So, you’re not comparing any peanut butter against it, just your machine’s results against the results expected.

Everything is a data point.

How comfortable everybody is with that question is a data point. How guarded or upfront they answer it is a data point.

Here's a freebie: my manager's feedback to me is that I need to listen more at meetings (I've been on the project for a very long time, and I "have answers" for most regular questions; but I'm not going to always be right, so I need to more proactively leave space to let others put forward their thoughts and criteria before diving into solutioning). I'm actively working on it (I've printed it above my monitor:).

I'm comfortable sharing this widely including at an interview - it's a real, genuine, useful feedback. I'm proud that my manager takes time to coach me, and I will do my best to coach others.

Inasmuch as interviews are about fit for the role, it's data point, that as as a candidate one may or may not care about, whether the interviewer is comfortable with that question.

I am an environmentalist. The line is that SpaceX is operating a fundamentally unsustainable business. The appropriate level of resistance is that which prevents them from conducting any launches at all. Launching rockets is quite literally the last possible thing we need to achieve a sustainable and equitable future for our planet.

Before you call my opinion fringe/extreme, go ahead and speak to some low-income folks at your local dive bar. You'll most likely find that 90+% of them are vehemently opposed to space missions in general, and especially SpaceX given the absurdity of traveling to Mars when we have so many low-hanging problems to fix here on Earth.

My experience is that roundabouts help but don't solve. E.g. if there is a complete traffic jam, you may actually increase the risk of collision due to negotiations about right of way happening every time a car can move forward.

Some cities in Europe have so many roundabouts, and two or three lane roundabouts with complex exit decisions you need to make on a split second - it's actually very confusing to navigate.

Enhanced Weathering, as the practice is called, has merit and is being investigated by a dozen startups. The idea of spreading Olivine (a magnesium iron silicate) or Brucite (magnesium hydroxide) or Wollastonite (calcium inosilicate) has been floated around for a while.

There are three aspects relating to its feasible application - as distinct from theoretical considerations.

1. Is the process feasible?
The slow reaction rate seems to be a significant obstacle. Additionally, these minerals are rarely pure and may vary significantly in quality from source to source, leading to a QA/QC problem.

2. Can the process be scaled-up?
Contrary to earlier comments, there is no wide availability of these minerals, not at the scale needed to make an impact. Moreover, the material-handling side of the issue is not well addressed. It isn't a simple question of drawing a distribution network on a diagram: it's working out the economics of the mass mining, transport, distribution and application of these materials. People are working on this, but I have not yet heard a compelling solution.

3. Are there undesirable side reactions?
This is what farmers will worry about. It'll be good if these amendments increase soil fertility, but that has to be demonstrated. Do these amendments alter the physical structure of soils or reduce their capacity to retain water, especially after carbon is absorbed? Do they form concretions over time that would make soils less permeable? Does the exposure to plant exudates release contaminants in soil?

I was involve in a project at a Canadian diamond mine in which the host rock - Kimberlite - absorbed CO2. This caused a decrease in its alkaline pH and allowed small quantities of sulphides to oxidize and release contaminants. Clearly, this is the kind of undesirable outcome that must be avoided.

Lots more to say, but perhaps some EW experts will chime in.
The article closes by quoting an historian involved: "Having our rivers back (flooded) and keeping the engravings submerged will help preserve them, even more than our work."

Is there a risk to the carvings by being exposed to air rather than the erosive river currents? In colder climates, freezing can erode rocks, but I don't imagine that's relevant here.

They're actually overstrikes of existing characters! The PLATO terminal had some wack stuff built into it, courtesy, I suspect, of the vector buffers it was initially designed with. That kind of computational overhead limited the expansion of the system into commodity equipment, a definite cloud of doom.

We can really, really go down the rabbit hole with encoding. Wireless morse had several equivalents to "emoticons" in its text encoding, and typesetters had zillions of different emoticons they could and did fabricate. Indeed, these are the first documented examples.

PLATO is an oddball system, pre-ASCII, pre-everything. That overstrike trick kind of hints at that. So if we mean ASCII-encoded emotions, yeah, PLATO loses to CM's BBS circa 1982.

My utility generated electric power via wind last year than all customers combined used. Electric cars are obviously taking over.

I’m from rural Ireland, and I always remember my first roundabout - I used go driving with my dad when learning, and as the weeks progressed I’d get closer and closer to Killarney which was the nearest town. Coming from our side the first thing you meet is a roundabout with 3 exits, one bringing you out the roads that bypass the town, one to the town centre, and one to a housing estate off the roundabout. As I joined the roundabout I met a woman driving against me on the roundabout taking a shortcut to her exit of the housing estate - frightened the shit outta 16 year old me, my dad was spooked too. I managed to make room enough for her to pass - she was oblivious. My dad actually knew her, lived there all her life, she must have driven that road 1000 times - how often was she taking that shortcut

There is a YouTube video on this topic but I can't find the link.

Star Citizen will likely never be finished, precisely because the person in charge, Chris Roberts, is notorious in the game industry for being the human embodiment of scope creep.

Even the earliest games he directed or produced as far back as Strike Commander in 1993 suffered from delays. "His" most famous work before Star Citizen, the PC game Freelancer, was also delayed by nearly 2 years from its original release date, only reaching completion because he was fired from the job and only kept on as a consultant while the game was finished without his "direction."

I'm not a backer of Star Citizen, but I see Roberts as a "pure visionary," someone who is capable of generating large and interesting ideas, but lacks the ability to execute. If you search around the internet you will find stories from former employees of Cloud Imperium (Roberts' company making Star Citizen) who were let go or quit from burnout due to the constant feature churn and inability to ever make Roberts happy. As soon as a feature is halfway done, he's already come up with several more that are suddenly the Most Important Thing.

This is why the game is taking over decade to complete and will likely never be finished. Squadron 42 isn't even the core Star Citizen product - it's technically a "companion game" and even this is only just now finishing the campaign 10 (!!) years after it was first announced.

Something Roberts doesn't seem to understand is that the longer a game goes, the higher the expectations, with virtually no upper limit. Considering the quality of games that have come out in recent years, there is no world where Star Citizen or Squadron 42 are strictly a disappointment to everyone other than the sunk-cost-fallacy "investors" still huffing the copium of their 4-5 figure backing fees.
As a taxpayer I'm fine with this, and I don't recall electing you to police how the courts are used.
I'm not a traffic engineer, but I think roundabouts take more space than an equivalent signal or stop sign intersection. The article says that many places are starting to default to roundabouts, but many intersections are likely going to be difficult to upgrade.
I'm speculating, but peanut butter is a common food for rodents. If you're conducting research using lab mice or rats and the diet of these animals needs to be very tightly controlled then you might need something like this?

Roundabout with more roundabouts on it. Because.

Basically just a little ring road.
I'm not entirely sure about this. The paper mentions that in Chrome and Firefox "different rendering processes handle pages with different effective top-level domain plus one sub-domain (eTLD+1)." (Meaning, windows in the same eTLD+1 group still share a process.) To proceed,

> "Taking this approach a step further, Safari follows a simple one process per tab model, where two web- pages are never consolidated into the same rendering process, even under high memory pressure and even if they share an eTLD+1 in their URLs. Instead, Safari spawns a new rendering process for each tab until the system runs out of memory."

This suggests that Safari/Webkit is even more hardened in general. It's only in the context of `window.open()` that this isolation strategy is defeated. Notably, `window.open()` somewhat implies a shared context between the calling window and the newly opened one, since both windows receive a direct reference to the respective other one. I can't see any description, how other browser engines would handle this differently and would achieve perfect isolation, or, in case these were explored in similar depth, might yield similar vulnerabilities.
My area, and a lot of others I think, are no longer building stop light intersections. Everything new is a roundabout.
I had understood it more as an abstract lesson than an instruction. ie avoid a mindset of everything must scale or we don’t do it.
As far as I understand, The attack surface will be reduced in the end. Here is why:
The amount of processed content is the same, no matter if you use one browser engine on single device or many. So if we assume that browser is 99%, the chance to _not_ hit the vulnerable page is 99%. However, by segregation of browser data between engines, the exposure of confidential information is reduced in case of breach
If people are actually judging the importance of a vuln based on "it has a domain" then my issue would be with them.

People have all sorts of miscalibrated heuristics with which they judge things. Regardless of the originators intentions.
As another comment says: Long and short scale.

It depends on language more than metric/imperial.
Interesting that there are no listed downsides. I saw a more balanced article a while back and recall that it listed cost (especially of the additional real estate, since roundabouts are larger) as being one downside. And in built-up cities, it's basically impossible to convert traditional intersections to roundabouts, because there's simply no room.

It is nice to not have to pay for replacement signals, or have to deal with power outages that kill the signals though.
Maybe I should have rephrased it. There are fun ways to live a life without emitting a bunch of carbon just as there are tasty ways to cook vegetables. It's just that people don't want to and more importantly, governments don't want to.
You're obviously right. Have my upvote for the well founded, substantial answer.
Because it's been in development for (checks notes) 13 years
Trying to encode truthfulness or biasless-ness into the weights of a model is a fools errand from the start.

Consider an extremely optimistic (near term) case for AI; that we can build a model with intelligence, knowledge and recall equivalent to a Ph.D. educated individual with a top 1% percentile IQ.

Even if you have access to such an individual, it would be absurd to rely on their knowledge and intuition alone as your primary search engine or decision maker. As a society, we as humans have decided a long time ago that we need supplemental information and collaborative, multi-perspective decision making.

Therefore, the correct role of AI is not as an oracle that gives you the answers from its weights, but as an information processor that helps you sort through answers from a known corpus of information and ground facts.

We will never get language models to exhibit a sufficient level of "truthfulness" from training alone. The way we encode knowledge retrieval patterns and multi-agent systems matters way, way more.
No, we removed catch-all addresses. They're a bad idea. Every 5 seconds a spammer sends something to a bunch of random letters @ your domain.

However, we do have all of the following:

- subdomain addressing
- plus addressing
- aliases

Can you tell me what you use case for catch-all is? I'm open to rethinking it.
Retest that hypothesis in orbit...
> We let you place the virtual tenant DB either on one multitenant Postgres DB or a dedicated Postgres.

Sounds promising, but by "a dedicated Postgres." do you mean a different server or just a different db on the same server? I'm trying to get at how the cost would change between the two solutions. Right now we can run N databases on the same Postgres server for roughly the same cost as running a single multitenant db. Switching to "server per customer" seems like it would be cost prohibitive.
One problem with cheap or free is that when you are trying to validate your product, a user paying you good money is far more validation that a free user.
yeah i mean if they want to remove themselves from the internet and go off on their own to die that's their choice to make. certainly not what is best for the health and reach of the project though.
To put things into perspective: 65 million + 60 million + 45 milion = 170 million people, about half of the US population.

So 59 000 roundabouts for half the population versus 10 000 in the US.

That's a deficit of 90% per capita :-)
