Grafana works really well out of the box for most use-cases. Initially the LogHouse UI was built using the out-of-the-box Grafana tools (along with the ClickHouse data source plugin which we maintain)
You can get a really long way with the zero code dashboarding tools, especially with the latest plugin release (4.0) which comes with a completely rebuilt query builder which has an opinionated mode specifically for OpenTelemetry data. LogHouse exhausted the limits of the zero-code UI in a few places and it was necessary to evolve the UI from a dashboard into a Grafana Plugin. Doing so gives you much more control to build a full application using the Grafana primitives. I really like that as an SRE I can build a webapp without spending any time building UI components, instead just controlling the layout on page and declaring “this panel has the following `SELECT…` query” which is generated by some typescript function.
Examples of things which we can do on top of Scenes are:

- Pick a different schema based on the query parameters. For instance we have different schemas for different applications (Keeper/Server/Generic K8s app) and the app picks the necessary schema

- Always show the full generated SQL query on the page (We like to use Grafana UI to start off and then jump into fully manual SQL for deeper analysis)

- Take one filter value (for instance, k8s namespace) and look up all of the other filters required (pod names which were live during the time period, region, cell ect.)

- Some small gadgets like enabling users to import the time range from another application URL like DataDog. Oftentimes we start by looking at metrics in another source and then want to jump into the logs.
I fully agree with you, hence why most game studios on the Web rather use streaming from hardware where those GPU capabilities are fully available than with constrained browser APIs.

WebGL and WebGPU are mostly fine for visualization and ecommerce, and that is about it.

Ah, and shadertoy like demos as well, probably their biggest use case.

I felt Thailand, where I live, handled it fine. I didn't feel like we got pressured here into getting the COVID vaccination and life could go on quite as normal for me as an unvaccinated person in our village (in the city it might have been different).

Though my girlfriend did get the COVID vaccination eventually, due to her being afraid of not being able to visit venues, restaurants and such. She regrets now that she got the COVID vaccination. We know of many people in our neighborhood who've gotten health issues related to the COVID vaccination (e.g. blood clotting, strokes, Guillain-Barré syndrome, etcetera).

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
I made this tool to add support for custom ANSI palettes to kubetail (https://github.com/kubetail-org/kubetail). Maybe you'll find it useful too.

Let me know if you have any suggestions!
It really doesn't, unless you've already implemented a variation of the thing before.

There is a time for reflection and planning/thinking about a given software problem, but you're mostly wasting time doing so in-depth before you've done/looked through a rudimentary implementation.

Your planned architecture will be worse then the one from the person that interated several times while introspecting the resulting code, discovering misconceptions on the way.

Do note that this initial implementation is only there to learn the domain of the software, basically.

The phase can be skipped if you're not really changing anything and mostly just reimplement something you've done before. At that point, you're not doing something new however.

This is called "intersectionality", a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in the late 1980s but some of the key concepts date back to the work of bell hooks in the 1970s. It's a generally accepted pillar of modern feminism.

Something bubbled up on StalkedIn a couple days back: it had images of King Charles III and Ozzy Osbourne, and it said both were white, male, British, born in 1948, married twice, and on and so forth. And it said "A customer is not their demographics. A customer is their individual goals and needs" or something like that. Which, while still laden with business-speak, was something of a contrarian take in today's DEI-mediated world. You gotta be careful with this intersectionality stuff. The endgame of intersectionality is -- gasp -- considering people as individuals.
Ask HN: How do you explore emerging technologies/trends?
Hey Hacker News community,

It's evident that AI is garnering considerable attention, but I'm interested in identifying steadily growing solutions like Shopify or Webflow.

These platforms have established themselves in the market and are fostering entire ecosystems, opening doors for new service providers and SaaS startups.

How do you explore emerging technologies? What tools/reports do you use to foresee upcoming significant trends?

TIA!

Rediscovering DevOps with Secure Cloud Development Environments
As a side note, I think this blunder-centric approach to chess is underappreciated, especially at low to mid levels where the vast majority of players peak. In addition to working on tactics, players should also specifically work on not blundering.

What this means in practice would be something like an "anti-tactic". In normal tactics, we need to find the best move which will usually win the game or give a decisive advantage. But an anti-tactic is a fight with your intuition: you want to make a move but that move is actually a blunder. There are several correct answers but one or two attractive but very wrong answers.

Of course the "rest of the owl" is how to determine which moves are very attractive to certain players. That is something I am working on now.
> In an economic downturn I’m not going to be switching my car from an EV to an ICE that costs 4x on fuel.

Considering we're talking about car sales, this isn't about people switching from an EV to an ICE, but people needing to change cars and choosing cheeper second hand ICEs instead of brand new more expensive EVs.
That was a nice read.

> I also tested only one background image, so the behaviour may differ greatly with QR codes contained in different surrounds.

This likely does not matter much. It could theoretically affect binarization near the edges of the code (near module boundaries, depending on how you did the resizing), but in practice as long as the code itself is high-contrast, this is unlikely. The more usual issue is that real images often do not have a proper quiet zone around the code, but that is mostly going to be irrelevant for what you are trying to test here.

> The QR codes are generated to be perfectly rectangular and aligned to the image pixel grid, which is unlikely to happen in the real world.

This is a much bigger deal. A large source of decoding errors for larger versions (for a fixed "field of view") is due to alignment / sampling issues. A lot of work goes into trying to find where the code is in the image and identify the grid pattern, and that is just inherently less reliable for larger versions, particularly if there is projective distortion (so the module size is not constant). The periodic alignment patterns try to keep the number of parameters that can be used to fit this grid roughly constant relative to the number of modules in the grid, but locating those patterns is itself error-prone and subject to false positives (they are not nearly as unique-looking as finder patterns), and the initial global transform estimate has to get pretty close for them to work. I am actually happy that damaging these was not causing you more trouble. This is definitely somewhere that ZBar can be improved. It currently does not use the timing patterns at all, for example. I'm not actually aware of an open-source QR decoder that does.

(I'm the original author of ZBar's QR decoder)

My experience with London, Canary Wharf - I'm hungry but the darn Amazon app has auto offloaded. Spend 3 minutes re downloading with bad data signal. Buy sandwich. Meh - it was ok but normal check out easier for me.

Chancery lane Tesco who also had one - darn I don't even have the Tesco app, I guess I'll wait for a normal shop.

For me the system would be better if you could just tap your card like everywhere else rather than needing an app.

This is a great additional perspective, but we seem to be mostly in agreement.

I am quite aware (and rather disappointed) we don't live in a more socialist system, but as we seem to be pretty much stuck under particularly nasty version of capitalism at least for the near future. So unless someone finds a way to turn the whole system around any time soon, I still think at least trying to make some of the worst parts of capitalism somewhat less unbearable is a good thing.
I am interested, is there some public material about this method?

A good practice, but not really a defense against malice, because if the expression is inscrutable enough to really need a comment, then it's also inscrutable enough that many people won't notice that the comment is a lie.
There has been a ‘get rich quick’ thing going on with devs selling ‘saas starters’, so, while a few years ago that was interesting niche, now there are 1000s of them, open source and closed source. Most of them include all components to build both the saas functionality (which can be the internal tool) and the outside (landing, sales pages, docs and subscription payments). They all include auth and most are nextjs. With those tools you can whip up stuff in no time.

Well for physics, the three-body problem, you see it in the first year, the Roche limit - in second. (Specifically two spheres coming close does NOT result in infinities, pointlike objects do - but then you also learn around the same time that atoms aren't pointlike objects and at nanometer-short ranges you have to start to deal with other forces than gravitation too...)

(I have my own beef with the "sweeping under the rug" which happens with (electromagnetic) pseudovectors, but I do realize that requires a LOT of effort to fix.)

There are lots of high quality answers on the recruitment side here, so I'll focus on the personal.

I did a masters in my mid thirties, and it was definitely the best life choice I made that decade.

Education, ideally, is about learning, not career progression. I had a fantastic time being completely focused on studying.

There's nothing nicer than waking up in the morning knowing that your main task for the day is reading a bunch of interesting papers.

The specific course, well, that's down to you, but as a thing to do with a year or so of your life: magnificent.

Lots of folks end up with kids, or without the cash, or stuck in a job for other reasons. It's fantastic to be even able to consider it. If you can, I think it's a great idea from my experience. Worst case scenario, you will grow in skills and confidence.

There is a well maintained Wasm build of harfbuzz: <https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzzjs> with both OpenType and AAT shapers support, which should be enough but you can also provide your own shaper implementation in Wasm yes.

Keep in mind that masculinity and femininity are constructed - they only exist because some properties associated with each other. Because of its construction, its an opinion, not a fact. What one considers masculine or feminine is basically arbitrary and random and everyone is free to disagree.

An evil spirit could claim that none of the mentioned archetypes is gender-specific at all and they would not be provable wrong.

It is not a mistranslation. In German "ganze zahlen" actually means "integers". It is just if you translate it word for word, "ganze" -> "whole", "zahl" -> "number", that you get whole numbers, which would be a mistranslation, because in English whole numbers mean 0, 1, 2, ...

A missing feature of the App Store is that it does not support screen savers. You can only download an app that spits out a screen saver. I would love the ability to download free and paid screensavers from the App Store that are sandboxed and would update automatically.

Professor Ross Was one of my teachers at the Computer Lab. I had frequent emails with him even years after I left the lab. His strong desire for security really put it even more into me.

Once in class we were discussing vulnerabilities in vehicles, this was about 4 years ago. He asked "whats the worst attack one could do", he got super annoyed that we didnt have a good answer, banged his hand on the table, full-red faced shouted "No, the worst attack is to remote compromise the cars, lock all the doors, increase the heat, put them drive and kill everyone". Well, he was right, that was the worst attack. You could see from his face he was dissappointed his students did not realise, maybe he felt bad of his teaching, but his teaching was phenomenal.

It is really a sad day, the world has lost one of the worlds best security professors ever. He will be dearly missed.

He taught me the tricks he used to get people in power to listen, advice id never forget.

Requirements always exist in a project, even if they are not written.

And how they cannot exist, since the only reason a program is written is because of some need...

And since requirements always do exist, they better be in written form, so as that they can be referenced, tested, discussed etc.

In previous projects, JIRA was used. In the current project, an internal tool is used, pretty much similar to JIRA.

In some older projects, a simple Word document was used and an Excel sheet for tracking progress.

Writing a requirement should be simple enough: it shall either define things, or describe processes and their side effects.

It is better to have a dedicated person to write them, because the wording and style of requirements should be consistent, and the person that writes them will gradually be more and more experienced in writing better requirements.

Having good requirements makes it a lot easier for developers to write the required programs.
Reflections on Distrusting xz
Or wait for a few billion years.

As an aside, I took a while to roll with the narrative about the heat death of the universe in Outer Wilds. It's too sudden: you go from a healthy yellow sun to a red star in the blink of an eye. Even if you accept that timeframes are accelerated in this game, same reason the planets are smaller, it should still happen in a timespan comparable to the sun's entire lifespan, not a single event.

Still, best game, would erase my memory to play again.
90+ accuracy seems very optimistic.

Still, I'd bet that whatever accuracy wearables get only work on a population, not individuals. I'm not surprised they are decent (though they can barely detect when you are sleeping...) but I don't put any faith at all on an individual basis.

Given the data they can collect that is the best anyone can hope for anyway.

So if you want to diagnose your own sleep, which you presumably would want to do if you are suspecting an issue, I wouldn't trust them one bit.

Also paying the extra premium (whether Deliveroo, Just Eat or Uber Eats) for first delivery is kinda pointless (at least here in the South West) as the drivers seem to be delivering for all the apps at the same time, so your delivery takes 35 mins for the 10 min premium delivery and sometimes they even turn off GPS after they've picked it up if they're delivering for another app first.

So expensive for a frustrating cold food delivery.

It worked better for me because with some software (eg qbittorrent) you can directly choose the network interface to use, so having a 'standard' wg0 interface is great.

Now I also wanted to re-use this interface for some websites I visited, and the easy way to do that was to configure rules in foxyproxy to use a socks proxy for that, which is where soks come into play.

I don't doubt that wireproxy is useful to many!
