What contributes to Datadog success?
> "bipartisan"

This means something very different in most multiparty parliamentary systems. Basically as there isn't any single party with a majority every government is at least bipartisan (usually more like 3 or 4 parties). So technically "bipartisan" but quite misleading wording/title.

What actually is happening the new government changed some goals (100% green -> 100% non carbon producing) giving nuclear access to the same subsidies that wind/solar have. Most of those subsidies are in the form of loan guarantees and not really big enough so maybe more subsidies are needed if they actually want some new reactors (but not actually agreed upon yet)

The browsers font switching to the right font is exactly what we are talking about. I’m in the Netherlands, so maybe I am just far away from your servers, but there’s about 200-300ms (essentially when reading the title, at least that is what I was doing when it switched on me) and that’s when it switches the font.

You can probably just use the system font for the title, and nobody would ever notice the issue.

> Keeping a few racks of servers happily humming along isn't the massive undertaking that most people here seem to think it is

Keeping them humming along redundantly, with adequate power and cooling, and protection against cooling- and power failures is more of an undertaking, though. Now you are maintaining generators, UPSs and multiple HVAC systems in addition to your 'few racks of servers'.

You also need to maintain full network redundancy (including ingress/egress) and all the cost that entails.

All the above hardware needs maintenance and replacement when it becomes obsolete.

Now you are good in one DC, but not protected against tornadoes, fire and flood like you would be if you used AWS with multiple availability zones.

So, you have to build another DC far enough away, staff it, and buy tons of replication software, plus several FTEs to manage cross-site backups and deal with sync issues.
People seem to be focused on the study I cited rather than what my comment was saying overall. It's just one study with a sample size of 40.

My point in including it was to show how variable (and generally lacking) research results are about the effects people feel from these substances.
Many posts here about sterilization seem to focus on the temperature.

Yes, having a dishwasher program that thoroughly rinses at 90 °C for 10 minutes will kill most germs in there.

I think this leaves out a very important aspect: how you use your dishwasher has a big impact.

I claim that programs at significantly lower maximum temperatures (say 50 °C) can be safely used as long as people are careful about (a) the state of the items they put in their dishwasher and (b) how they position the items.

If you put in items with lots of and/or big food scraps on them you increase the risk of some of the material being left in some sieve or getting caught in the tray. All material that's left for the final rinse will populate the water with some particles which then cover all items.

Same with dried crusts that only get soaked but not removed by the program.

And also the same with items that are inapropriately positioned, so that food residues aren't reached by the water jets, or so they topple over and fill with water which then also spoils the final rinse.

I'd bet if you reliably prevent the above mentioned things from happening by being careful about which items you put in and how you position them, you can use a low temperature program without any risk at all.

> If you're not waiting for the remote log server to write the messages to its disk before proceeding, then it seems like that's not guaranteed to me?

Depends on your failure model. I'd consider e.g. "received in memory by at least 3/5 remote servers in separate datacenters" to be safer than "committed to local disk".
Moving from buying Ferraris to Toyota Camrys would save a lot of money too. These stories are always bs blog spam by companies trying to pretend they pulled off some amazing new hack. In reality they were burning cash because they hadn't the faintest idea how to control their spend.

When we were utilizing AWS, our setup consisted of a 28-node managed Kubernetes cluster.
Each of these nodes was an m7a EC2 instance. With block storage and network fees included,
our monthly bills amounted to $38,000+

The hell were you doing with 28 nodes to run an uptime tracking app? Did you try just running it on like, 3 nodes, without K8s?

When compared to our previous AWS costs, we’re saving over $230,000 roughly per year
if you amortize the cap-ex costs of the server over 5 years.

Compared to a 5-year AWS savings plan? Probably not.

On top of this, they somehow advertise using K8s as a simplification? Let's reign in our spend, not only by abandoning the convenience of VMs and having to do more maintenance, but let's require customers use a minimum of 3 nodes and a dozen services to run a dinky uptime tracking app.

This meme must be repeating itself due to ignorance. The CIOs/CTOs have no clue how to control spend in the cloud, so they rake up huge bills and ignore it "because we're trying to grow quickly!" Then maybe they hire someone who knows the Cloud, but they tell them to ignore the cost too. Finally they run out of cash because they weren't watching the billing, so they do the only thing they are technically competent enough to do: set up some computers and install Linux, and write off the cost as cap-ex. Finally they write a blog post in order to try to gain political cover for why they burned through several headcount worth of funding on nothing.
Actually, the sort of obsessiveness it produces diminishes the ability to switch attention, so people get obsessed over a particular train of thought and are unable to evaluate other strategies.
Basically you end up obsessed over that one strategy, and motivated to do it, instead of taking a step back to re-assess.

I am currently using a Fovitec Bicolor 650 LED panel - it was cheap and I am cheap. I replaced the power supply with a higher-wattage unit because it flickered at max power, that might be enough to make me not recommend it but it works for me.

Carry out any changes they request from you.
In the wireframe, the previous design's html will appear as a white rectangle.

if you need to insert an image, use a colored fill rectangle as a placeholder. Respond only with the html file.

Thing with Nuclear is its long term. It's 10 years to plan (theres always some customisation), fund, develop and train then another 5-10 before you move to profitability. Then through the life cycle there's constant government scrutiny and regulation before a complex decommissioning process that is pre-paid. This doesnt fit well with political election cycles.

Solar and wind are winning not because they are cheaper or more balanced for the grid but because you can buy off the shelf components, install them quickly and make it to profitability sooner. There's just a whole lot less time and risk.

Ian "zenhack" Denhardt, a major Cap'n Proto contributor, was working closely with the ocapn effort to try to ensure some level of compatibility. Tragically, he passed away in July, leaving that effort (and so much else) in limbo. Unfortunately I have not had the bandwidth to keep up on ocapn, so I can't really comment much myself.

------------

I'll say a bit about "distributed garbage collection". I'm not caught up on what, exactly, the ocapn people mean here. E always advertised support for "distributed acyclic garbage collection", which in practice meant reference counting. Cap'n Proto also implements reference counting in exactly the same way. But I personally wouldn't call it "garbage collection" if it can't collect cycles. Moreover, Cap'n Proto applications commonly expect deterministic destruction when references are dropped -- they wouldn't play well with GCs that might arbitrarily delay collection.

My personal take is that distributed GC is simply not feasible. Garbage collection algorithms heavily lean on heuristics and amortization to achieve any kind of performance. In particular, most GCs will only actually execute when they detect "memory pressure", i.e., that the system is in need of freeing up some memory. If the system doesn't need memory, why waste time finding some? However, in a distributed system, it can easily be the case that the local system has plenty of memory, but is holding on to a reference to a remote object living on a system that does need memory. The reference may no longer be reachable. But, the local GC isn't going to run because it doesn't perceive a need. Meanwhile, the remote system has no way to know that the object it is hosting could be collected.

To solve problems like this, you cannot just have each machine running its own local GC, you must have a single distributed GC that can respond to memory pressure anywhere by triggering sweeps of the entire distributed object graph. This seems extremely difficult to design, far more so if the systems involved do not trust each other.

Maybe it's possible, but certainly there's quite a lot of research needed, and last I knew the ocapn people hadn't actually demonstrated anything that works. But my personal take is that GC in general is a terrible fit for systems programming, because it is so bad at handling any kind of external resource, which is what systems programming is all about. Cap'n Proto is unlikely to support anything more than reference counting.

Ok, take some: France and some other countries are already reprocessing the waste into new fuel, abt 90%. Real waste is solidified to avoid spills with vitrification, easy to store, should be stored for just about 300 years instead of thousands bc of reprocessing. Similar thing can be done with breeding reactors. There are some operational. These basically can eat big variation of fuel including waste, the end product/waste is just like what France does with reprocessing. And at last, combine this with the new nuclear storage that Sweden has built. As result, you get a way to store safely nuclear waste that is solid, stable and will become more or less 'normal' in 300 years. And all of this with an extremely small footprint bc nuclear is so energy intense

I am tempted, half tongue-in-cheek, to suggest simply scheduling it:

09:00-09:30 get coffee and morning standup
09:30-11:30 work on project A
11:30-12:30 lunch
12:30-14:00 deal with the emergency of the day
14:00-17:00 work on project B

And for all that that's exaggerated for humorous effect, I actually have played with scheduling blocks of time for catching up on Slack messages, which is pretty similar really.
It's very well written and super pro-graphql. My favorite way to solve the under-fetching over-fetching problem was this method I wrote once called "decorate". It would go through the entire json object recursively and look for any fields ending in _id. It would then do a sql select where id in (id1,id2,id3,etc) and replace the foo_id with just foo and the real json of a foo. And you could give it a recursive level limit so you only go 2 levels down if foo has its own thing_id as well.

When I added a new rest endpoint I did NOT include "decorate" but I waited for the ios or android developer consuming the api to ask for it. Worked out great and it avoids all the complexity that often gets PUSHED down to the ios and android developer. If the goal is to write perfect graphql that solves the under-fetch over-fetch problem better than my decorate function, you don't end up with that. You get the mobile developers writing their dream queries and making a bigger mess! (Sometimes.)
Also, EKS (i.e a managed service) is also more expensive then renting EC2s and doing everything yourself, which is not that hard.
