thank you for reminding me why I don't comment on Hacker News much. 1. Completely misrepresent someone else's perspective 2. Always use an industrialized western perspective as a synonym for what is unequivocally good, without any

Sicily is fertile, but for example much of Calabria is very much not - too rocky/mountainous. The issue is not that there's no fertile land, but the fertile land relative to the population is not a lot in terms of just sustaining

Loki UI in Grafana Explore seems to only select 1000 lines by default for me? Also Loki on the backend splits/parallelizes requests if it can. The Grafana backend Mimir / Loki / Tempo products all appear to be architected pre

by skrtskrt 2y ago
yep, with the caveat that you probably don't want to have the backend of whatever log system you use (not exactly sure how Loki does it) to have an index on something as high-cardinality as session id so that query could get slow. But

wow I always thought that Prom UI was just a tacked-on part of alertmanager or something because it’s so rudimentary. In my experience, everyone just uses Grafana Explore since that’s what Grafana was originally purpose-built for and it’s c

by skrtskrt 3y ago
one of the primary complaints I've seen is the Tesla apps being inaccurate about charger availability - like 4 out of 5 chargers available here! And you show up and they're actually all taken with a huge line of people waiting.

Chick Fil A? Is just another fast food chain, but it has associations with evangelical Christians and funding anti-gay positions. That's your example of a company with a conscience?

for now the System76 machines are mostly just rebadged (and corebooted) Clevos. The ones that aren't Clevos are rebadged from other brands. There are endless complaints about their build quality, keyboard plastic warped and peeling off
