Looking at this architecture, I wonder if it would make sense to replace Prometheus itself with something simpler? Normally Prometheus pulls metrics, evaluates rules against them, stores them, and answers queries on them. It looks like in

Nitpick, but like many things in America that varies from state to state. Many have "open primaries" where you just show up and request whichever party's ballot you want. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O

The question I don't see answered anywhere on their website or repo is "why?". Why in 2018 with a) many mature configuration management systems like puppet, chef, ansible, and salt b) lots of architectures that no longer requ

Right, but this is the same way Python works. Jumping back to the original argument in the post, the author claimed that Python was "going out of it's way to be different" by passing objects by reference value. C# provides a

It looks like a standard single r/w master + multiple r/o slave topology with the addition of their own leader election. I'd want to understand how the latter works and how it is tested very well before I'd trust it. h

When were you born, and what country do you live in? As someone born in the 1980s in the USA, I don't think this is true. I believe that the 30 year mortgage has been the standard here since sometime in the mid 20th century.

I think the objective (at least of the printed version) is for Microsoft to have something unusual to hand out at their conference booths that will drive traffic to them.

From what I can tell you're talking about processing logs to device metrics, but this project is specifically about storing the raw logs themselves. Two different (albeit potentially related) problems. What you are proposing for derivi

Whether something is "in code" or not is orthogonal to the problem of tracking infrastructure changes. E.G. You can commit a change to Terraform, but that doesn't tell someone when "terraform apply" occurred. What y

I don't think we refer to Firefox on Android as "Quantum" yet; for miscellaneous technical reasons it doesn't have some of what made Quantum great on desktop. Part of the goal of Fenix is to "bring quantum to androi

Yes, webrender is fast, but keep in mind that if you're using webrender you will see bugs, even crashes, that you wouldn't otherwise. Use it only if you're willing to accept that in order to help Mozilla test and improve it.

Considering that, it's interesting that Firefox still has more desktop market share than Edge and Safari.

To be clear, I mean you're in the minority of Android users. Since 2017 most Android users can't send SMS through Hangouts.

I don't think the existing permissive to copyleft spectrum is what matters here. MongoDB, for example, was previously licensed under the AGPL, which is the most aggressive OSI-approved copyleft license I can think of, but they still fe

4K TVs have some bad image processing details that might be why you don't like them. Motion smoothing in particular is jarring to me. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/lcdtvs/turn-off-these-3-...

It works reliably, but there's room for improvement. Two examples: Video call quality is noticably worse than Google Duo. Unlike SMS, Google Assistant can't read my Hangouts messages to me.

Originally Hangouts looked Google's answer to Apple's iMessage. You could send and receive messages via Hangouts or SMS within the same Android app. You could use Hangouts on your computer via Gmail or a standalone app. Then a few

What makes you think it doesn't handle interleaving? They demonstrate a mode where, using the previous day's logs as a baseline, uno can read the current days logs and not print anything that occurred the previous day. That's

Interestingly, Twitter's in-house system did that too, but they now seem to think it was a mistake because it increased latency.

That's a really good point, I was guesstimating very quickly when I wrote that. Depending on what your doing for the alarm and how they measure reads it may well be a lot less. Let's say the read is 1MB instead of 1GB, that's

You're ignoring half of my example scenario. $26k writing the data, $525k for querying it just for alerting, plus whatever it costs to store and to query ad-hoc. That's over half a million dollars. Even if you hire someone for $25

This is not cheap for the "DevOps" use case. Imagine you have 1000 servers submitting data to 100 timeseries each minute. That's 100,000 writes a minute (unless they support batch writes across series) At $0.50 per million wr
