What were the previous major versions? Heian period, Tokugawa shogunate, Meiji restoration, and postwar/Economic Miracle era?

Wouldn’t Clickhouse be the NIH solution? Thanos supports Prometheus natively, but Clickhouse doesn’t (or at least doesn’t appear on the integrations list in the Prometheus docs), so you’d have to write an adapter for it.

What crime? I’ve got complaints about living in SF, but it’s basically crime-free from my experiences.

As a native Californian, I’ve never redeemed a CRV in my life, and I’m not sure anybody I know does, either. The prospect of not putting recycling in the recycling bin so I can have another errand in my life is remarkably unappealing, esp

“Literally zero downsides” is a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? Surely you’ll concede that they make your glasses fog up.

You’re referring to Leviathan, the newest expansion for Europa Universalis. The developer plea for less toxicity in the forums was from a Hearts Of Iron developer. Their newest DLC wasn’t exactly met with glowing reviews either, but it wasn

I don’t drive, which is terribly inconvenient, but I believe it would be ethically wrong for me to do so. I theoretically know how to drive, but I’m very bad at it for lack of experience, which makes me a hazard to myself and others if I do

Yes, things were so much less partisan in the good old days, when fascists and leftists would start armed revolutions and civil wars.

Isn’t Miami going to be underwater in a few decades?

You have to bring all of those same things to a Nomad deployment as well. It’s generally more lightweight than Kubernetes, so it might be easier to wire those other components in, but you do still need to do that work either way.

Discovering a new hominid species gets you on the cover of National Geographic. Discovering a new specimen in a previously-identified hominid species does not. So, in general, the field of biological anthropology has leaned towards identify

Offshoring cheap labor already happened everywhere possible. Domestic "low-skill" labor today is overwhelmingly in restaurants, hotels, and retail. I assure you that Taco Bell is not making bean burritos on-site because it's

There’s 112 waking hours per week, if you sleep eight hours, so more than half that is 56 hours a week. Are you working seven days a week or something?

A fallacy can not identify when something is not the truth. A fallacious statement is not a necessary result of the argument that led to it, but it can still be completely true. There’s even a fallacy about it! https://en.m.wikip

“Software might stop being free unless we start paying for it” has a certain circular irony.

The layout of that ballot isn’t helping. For comparison, I’ve found the RCV ballot in San Francisco pretty intuitive ( https://sfelections.sfgov.org/sites/default/files/Images/Dem... )

They might actually be printing discs, though. Nowadays, multi-gigabyte day-one patches are commonplace, so all the disk is for is shipping art assets cheaply (and supporting legacy retail sales). So as long as the art assets are 95% done,

A couple years ago, I reformatted these for use with the unix "fortune" utility, in case you need oblique strategies on the command line. (I sure do.) https://github.com/threemachines/obliqueMOTD

I think it’s fair to say that yes, we don’t have to address all the bad things an entity has historically done any time we want to talk about that entity in any capacity. If only as a purely practical concern – how many paragraphs does it t

What's a scientific field with non-reproducible experiments? I'm hard-pressed to think of any field with the kind of no-do-overs issues that archaeological excavations have.

by BurritoAlPastor 6y ago
Although archaeology is certainly informed by scientific theory and uses the work of scientific fields like geology, it’s not truly a science. Crucially, archaeological excavations are not reproducible, and archaeological theories are not e

Nagios and its forks for sure have a place in the monitoring ecosystem. They’re just not tools that tend to stick around once you’re big enough to have a dedicated DevOps or SRE team.

by BurritoAlPastor 6y ago
Nagios is the Jenkins of monitoring. It's popular because you can get it running in an afternoon, and it's easy to configure by hand. It then rots within your infrastructure, because it resists being configured any way _except_ by

Board games are uniquely well-adapted to the crowdfunding format because the game design can be 100% complete and playtested before any art or manufacturing has even started. (Of course, you need some art to sell the Kickstarter.) The upf

c5a and m6g instances are the same price, but m6gs have twice as much memory. c6g instances are a better point of comparison for c5a – same vCPU count still, same memory, marginally better network at 8xlarge and up, and about 88% of the pri

We run everything in Nomad for all our teams, but we don’t use any of the features you mention, and it’s not causing issues. We wrote some metrics for how much memory all the allocations are claiming, and we throw another EC2 instance in th

Leaving aside the logistical and gamification reasons why this would be a bad idea – you’d also be creating an incentive structure for people espousing marginally offensive content to actively seek out and engage with more extreme positions
