Long-time Zulip advocate; I've (successfully) pushed for it at two organisations, so genuinely, thanks for building something worth that effort. One thing I'd like to understand better: how does the Foundation intend to keep its m

Guess your country was never invaded by a genocidal expansionist neighbour or been taken over by a militant theocracy/dictatorship. Hope for your sake that it doesn’t happen. In the meantime, I’ll keep supporting Ukrainians. I don’t co

Fly-by snark is an interesting choice. What were you hoping to achieve with this comment other than making a person who is being vulnerable to anonymous internet denizens feel worse?

"I have monitoring set up for those things" - but that doesn't solve the ambiguity. When Prometheus misses a scrape, nothing fires. Silence looks identical whether your service is down, the network blipped, or Prometheus itse

Nobody can answer that? There are jobs AI can't easily come for... not always nice ones, but either too physically fiddly or too cheap to bother automating. But jobs go "extinct" all the time. My ancestors going back generati

I'm not sure what you mean. Of course the systems that have to alert me to failure have to be designed with mechanisms to alert me to the fact that they themselves are failing. Zabbix, Nagios, Munin -- practically everything that exist

by dijit 5mo ago
Yes, my monitoring system not alerting me when the systems it runs on are failing is the entire problem. That's not a general "software breaks when disks fail" situation: that's a monitoring system failing at its one job

There's a difficult distinction here, you're right. Technically even a single server running LAMP as root but taking frontend traffic meets the definition of in production but I think we all recognise that it's not the righ

It's a bit like .gov and .edu; technically exclusive to the US. The difference is that .com and .org were opened up for anyone to purchase. And it goes deeper than just intent: .com was literally administered under a US government cont

"Getting it running" is the easy part. "Getting it ready for production " is a different game. I've fallen on my sword many times by trying to explain that prometheus fails every metric of production ready; in fact

Registering a .com through a EU-based registrar doesn't change anything. Verisign, the organisation that actually controls the .com top-level domain, is a US company and operates under US jurisdiction. Where you purchase the domain fro

by dijit 5mo ago
Unfortunately, it is. Unless you're implying that Verisign isn't a US company, just because .com has become the conventional domain for businesses worldwide doesn't change the fact that it's US-based. Similarly, the EU&#

I think the parent is lamenting the lack of this in a commercially viable DE, like MacOS or Windows. As much as it pains me to say it: custom Linux distros are not often deployed en masse. Especially not the ones that “look old”.

Fully agreed. It's super difficult on a psuedo-anonymous forum to discern if a comment comes from a neutral place or a heavily biased one. This is made even worse when there's a financial or reputational incentive for people to pa

Sure. CFOs optimise for fewer vendor relationships; fewer invoices, fewer things to talk about during compliance, less reconciliation overhead. Consolidated spend also improves their negotiating position. So when AWS offers good-enough Elas

Honestly, this is so divorced from reality that I'm curious if you've ever actually spoken to a CFO before.

Really? A 10 minute interaction with the platform was enough to inform me that no serious engineer is in charge, and no serious engineer chooses this platform. It is a platform for CFOs to avoid having another vendor relationship.

If you want to convince yourself that they can infer intent despite the fundamental limitations of the systems literally not permitting it then you can be my guest. Faking it is fine, sure, until it can’t fake it anymore. Leading the questi

Recognising a stock cultural script isn't the same as capturing intent. Ask it something where no script exists. For example: "A man thrusts past me violently and grabs the jacket I was holding, he jumped into a pool and ruined it
