I have really wanted to get a Prometheus into production for several years and have tried a few times, but working at small startups without dedicated ops people I‘ve found myself mucking around too much trying to get the metrics that I rea

A handful of websites I visit periodically have username and password fields readily available....but they are registration forms not login forms, and if you put in your existing credentials, it’ll just tell you that you already have an acc

I don't have an M1 machine, but I have had periodic weirdness on external monitors (of every flavor) when waking from sleep on all the Mac laptops I've owned over the last 10 years.

I believe Plenty of Fish (a dating site) was in that category for some time, though the founder did wind up hiring people before eventually selling it for $575m.

Tag manager is used for managing all of the various tracking and analytics snippets for a site in a central location, so if your ad blocker stops tag manager itself, you often preempt many other things that would run. In this case I’d assum

Yeah my roommate right after college worked at a major investment bank and the “culture” struck me as purely abusive hazing...he worked 6-7 days a week and was out of the apartment before 8am and home after midnight most days. The working e

I also have <last name>@gmail.com. It’s not a super common last name, but common enough that I get emails almost daily from people accidentally omitting a first initial.

Gmail was amazing when it launched...I was so excited to get an invite from a friend during the beta period. It made the crappy POP sync for my ISP email account look like a joke. Funny thing is–closing in on 20 years later–I dislike the la

Exactly... I keep reading these concerns that Proton will cause developers to ignore Linux, when really there's effectively zero incentive for developers to pay attention to Linux in the first place, given how few people use the platfo

Perhaps you're correct that I don't need it in the sense that I only very occasionally find myself with a dataset or something that doesn't fit in memory, and could just run a high memory cloud instance for a bit to process

I find it easy to sneak up on 16gb of memory when running basic apps (editor, bunch of browser tabs, zoom, spotify) plus a complete environment for a mid sized web app (multiple services, dbs, message queue, caches, js bundler, workers etc)

I used a Raspberry Pi for this for a long time and did fry a couple of SD cards along the way. A few years ago, the last time the SD card died, I decided that instead of buying a USB SSD for it I’d get a used Lenovo Thinkcentre “Tiny”, whic

I can’t speak to Griddy or their marketing, but the here in NY the market for alternate provider “ESCOs” seems to have attracted some really shady players. Their sales tactics range from a little deceptive to outright fraudulent, with door

Yes from what I've read, there was a set of winterization recommendations made the last time this happened in 2011, but they weren't implemented...that seems like a pretty clear starting point for some regulation to me. https:&#x

When I started building a computer and realized these new cards were going to be unobtainium last fall, I bought a used 1080ti instead. Despite being older it still holds its own against newer cards. Lacking RT and DLSS features (which didn

I cancelled it a couple of years ago so perhaps things have changed, but afaik I'm not alone in feeling it was intentionally designed to confuse...lots of scrolling, multiple buttons with slightly different wordings, confusing warnings

Same story with a full Prime subscription, not just the free trial, they use several dark patterns to confuse you about what will happen when you actually hit the cancel button. When I found myself slowly buying fewer things on Amazon a few

I completely agree–LastPass is absolute garbage compared to alternatives. Genuinely one of my least favorite pieces of software I've ever had to use with any regularity, and my threshold for frustration is higher than most.

The type of content is certainly different, since anyone can upload videos to YouTube. The TV that kids were watching “too much” of was super bland, mainstream stuff, for better or worse. There certainly weren’t organizations bulk generatin

Yes I think this is an important distinction. In my view the most salient divider between modern social media and other social things that use the internet is the presence of activity feeds. The model of pushing everything you do to everyon
