Splunk's advantage is that it can handle volumes of logs which ELK, Graylog and Loki simply cannot. If you're not there yet... yeah, Splunk is hella expensive.

It varies by brand- some brands are better at filtering out sunlight than others. The home builder should know not to use certain brands in garages that face the sun... but they often don't. It'a not laser based so the sensors don

Is it a Genie system? My old Genie system had that exact same problem. Even making large sun shields out of Amazon boxes didn't fix it. I had to replace my opener and door anyway and had a conversation with a tech about it. We decided

I loved YAML until I read the spec, and now I dislike most of YAML beyond the basics and avoid it unless "ease of humans to edit" is a primary goal.

At least JSON has a complete and unambiguous specification. If JSON had comments, we wouldn't need YAML 99% of the time.

I had to modify a RAR file for some weird software a while back and WinRAR was the easiest way to do it. 7zip can extract RAR but cannot modify it.

The Big Short was able to depict financial instruments in an appealing way. Partly by interjecting a scene where Margot Robbie explains the mortgage bond market and short selling while wearing very little, but people seemed to like that mov

Microsoft is a publicly traded company. They have to keep emails for a minimum of 7 years under SOX compliance. P.S. The US Chamber of Commerce is NOT part of the US Government and you should not trust what they say.

I used to lead a widely used and influential platform eng team at Adobe. Parent comment is right. We had our own datacenters and multiple cloud providers, and growing the public cloud infrastructure had a demonstrably higher return on inves

Paper ticket. Eligible for tow X hours after the ticket. Immobilizing the car is a ludicrous solution. Someone left something on your property you want them to remove- and the solution is to prevent them from removing it?

What you pay for is the ability to provision hardware for new R&D and projects in minutes rather than days, weeks or months. Companies are willing to spend millions a month in cloud fees to accelerate hundreds of millions in revenue.

Cops have bigger fish to dry. A law is only as good as its enforcement.

In some jurisdictions it is a crime to remove a private parking enforcement device without authorization. Check your local laws/ask a lawyer.
