What kind of tools are used to build those dashboards and data streaming systems? Anything you'd want to use for regular system monitoring? Looks like part of it might be Gnuplot? It reminds me a bit of the factories or refineries that

I've also found the utility called jq [1] to be a great help working with JSON data on the CLI, such as from the AWS CLI. It's great at parsing and selecting output, or performing simple transformations. [1] http://sted

Do you happen to have a link to the demo? I looked around but haven't been able to find it. It looks like the demo lived at the time at https://www.unrealengine.com/html5 - and the site doesn't seem to work throug

Would you accept with full credit an answer like this? Iterate through the list adding its nodes to a set. If a node is already present when we go to add it, then stop, since we've found a cycle. Otherwise if we reach the end there is

Those are usually destroyed when their useful life ends, exactly because someone might dig them up later and extract data from them. Large corporate data centers, for example, physically destroy hard disks and never allow them to leave the

I would love to learn more about the structure of the patterns etched into the metals. I took a quick look through the links from the article, but didn't find anything with meat. Does anyone have a link? I'd love to see it under a

Do hydrophobic materials interact differently with gases as well? What would the air flow be like over a wing made out of a superhydrophobic material like this? Would it facilitate or disrupt airflow, or not matter?

Great way to think about it! Running applications in a highly automated way is just so freeing . I define my server fleet as an AutoScalingGroup. If any machine fails, a replacement is brought online and begins taking traffic automatically

End-to-end encryption does not invalidate most existing anti-spam technologies. However, these technologies will need to run after decrypting the content, which may mean on the end user's machine(s). Less processing horsepower will be

This sounds similar to a technique that I heard about some time ago for overcoming jet lag: Decide what time you want to wake up, locally, in the new time zone. 16 hours before that time, stop eating and sleeping. If possible, try to arrang

I'd recommend investigating and trying the Pomodoro Technique. I shared a bit more about it in another comment [2]. Ebook describing how it works [1]. It's a mental framework to help a person drive their interruptions to zero, in

Thank you. Yes, that reflects my preference. I come to HN for deep interesting information that's also well-summarized and well-discussed. I may or may not always read through to the journal article, depending on my interest in the are

Interesting technique! I can see this being useful in applications that are single points of failure. In redundant systems, however, I have found it quite effective and generally prefer to solve this problem upstream of the application, in

You would certainly accelerate much more slowly, since the upper limit of acceleration is bounded by your friction with the ground, which is bounded by your weight, i.e., your mass times gravity. What's not clear is whether you could r

All remote calls must have a timeout. The lack of timeouts in certain RPC implementations was an implementation weakness, not a conceptual one. [Edit: I've removed most of my original comment since it pertained to messaging between mac
