Curiously, this is a big facet in our dev/ops re-organization. For example, we in infra-operations are responsible to store data customers upload into your systems. This data has to be considered not reproducible, especially if it&#x27

I mostly find the way the opinion presented in this thread by many people exhausting. You're doing it there too: You're throwing every bad point of every bad UI you ever encountered into a bucket and throw all of that at this arti

I got an alert about this in KATWARN yesterday. It was kinda funny and curious for a second that this wasn't about yet another WW2 bomb, but instead an alert about... objects from space? Hah. I'm too far north to see much I think,

I was unsure to comment this: You can mark postgres replicas as sync replicas. Writes on the leader only commit fully once the writes are fully replicated to all sync replicas. This way postgres could ensure consistency across several repli

Postgres can develop problematic behavior if you have high churn tables - tables with lots of deletes on them. If you have many inserts and deletes on a table, the table will build up tombstones and postgres will eventually be forced to vac

It is about the overall build time, giant price tag and later on risks involved. I am intentionally oversimplifying a bit, but for a new solar park, you ram metal poles into the ground, run metal beams cross those, put panels on those and c

Sadly, the resource constraints/setup prevent us from parallelizing this. And the customers of that system expect the data to be processed and available after 24 hours. In part, it's a somewhat rewarding topic. Thinking about quer

Isn't it stack overflow wisdom by now to always look for the second or third answer?

Pretty sure that's a Grafana Heat Map panel with an explanation added to it. Especially with the graph above it.

Yep, most of our systems end up exposing a parameter like that to the customer. Some people only like the system to take action if the system is very sure, hate incorrect action and prefer unprocessed stuff in a queue. Other customers hate

This is why I've conditioned myself: Once I start running unsafe commands in a development-ish pattern (DDL changes, reboots, service starts/stops and such), I make sure to close any shell to productive systems and databases firs

Yeah, I kinda plateaued like that for a few months and got frustrated to the point of giving up. Always the same-ish songs, same-ish patterns, same-ish things to train on and progress was somewhat limited or stagnant even. Then I started to

Oh I was confused for a second. So there is a Doom RPG (official one), and also a fan made "DRL" (totally not meaning DoomRL in the early days), which was eventually remade as Jupiter Hell due to trademark issues.

This is good though. I honestly hate meetings with a vague agenda and then when you get there, you have ~5 minutes to make up a plan to conquer Europe during German occupation, or else (in a threatening tone). I am starting to just abort an

Similar to the sibling comment, helpdesk ticket routing. The volume of helpdesk tickets large enterprises deal with is very easily and vastly underestimated. If you can even route 30% away from the central triage with 90+% accuracy and drop

For me the hardest part is actually getting started. And as I notice, my problem at times is that my tasks are like "You are a Roman General. You have 3 Legions. Conquer Europe north of this line." For me personally, it's bet

Yep. I mostly meant for or rather caused by this kite. I wouldn't expect it intuitively, as it's just a big object in the water, not moving erratically or obstructing anything.

Since the number 1.2MW didn't mean much to me, modern on-shore wind turbines seem to supply 3-4MW and offshore ones 8 - 12MW. But this seems a lot easier to transport and install compared to cranes and the nightmare of navigating turbi

There also is C--. C-- is a reduced kind of C to make implementation of compilers and interpreters for it easier. It is overall meant as a simple generation target for compilers.
