There are also some german projects to integrate datacenters into the district heating nets. Capturing the waste heat and using it for heating homes allows us to utilize a very large percentage of the electricity pumped into a datacenter on

Hm, interesting. I guess me with northern german heritage am very much more of an Ask-Person. But this is missing an important part of the ask-aspects: You can put needs and issues onto peoples radar. Like, someone recently just asked me if

That's what's called a "non-constructive" proof in some circles. It /doesn't/ have a useful path forward, which makes it frustrating. There are some weird sandwiches of complexity classes - like, iirc, P-S

Our CS-Prof also had another interesting point: P = NP could be true without changing many things in reality. This could occur if the reduction of an NP-complete problem onto a polynomial problem results in a runtime of such monstrous polyn

The game is very much a deckbuilder like dominion or slay the spire, and the slot machine is just fluff, except maybe adding a two dimensional aspect to it. The main appeal is: You accumulate symbols into your deck, and the slotmachine arra

You just made me think of the War of the Worlds radio show from 1938[1]. This feels very similar and the article touches on that too: The radio was the one trustworthy medium with a short latency. Newspapers were also considered trustworthy

But what is a transaction error? <UPDATE user_profiles SET first_name = 'REDACTED';> will execute very successfully from the databases point of view.. And from a business point of view, it might be either a horrible thing (i

On the other hand, we wanted to give them money to have a support contract, maybe some yearly architecture reviews or a call with a consultant to point us towards new features. We have similar agreements with e.g. AWS, we're looking at

I don't think it's that simple, because the effort necessary to employ the different choices are very different. Stopping cargo going out of Taiwan is rather cheap. Unguided rockets and aircraft from your homeland can do a lot. An

IMO, debuggers, logging, metrics, tracing and the other tools focus on different things and are good at different things. Debuggers are extremely powerful in the correct situation. If you can reproduce an issue in a controlled fashion, debu

Our running gag is: Once such a runbook has been sufficiently refined and clarified to the point of being really comprehensive and easy to follow.... someone turns it into a jenkins job and we don't need it anymore.

Prefect seems like a really good suggestion, thank you. We're pretty much committing to python as our language of choice in the infra-layer. Most of the team is sent onto courses over the next month, too. So I have a whole lot of pytho

Color me very interested about footguns in Airflow as well. We're currently considering it as a self-hosted process engine to automate technical business processes and to coordinate a few automation systems like jenkins. Crap like, tri

Mh, good points. I'll have to take a look to include a restart count in our zabbix systemd template. Should be a cheap metric to track with deduplication but valuable to create tickets upon if it changes too much in a short timeframe.

NileRed and other Maker Channels are great to demonstrate that. In every video, there's 1 - 2 of these situations - Nile has been following some documented, established procedure which should result in a specific reaction and it looks

This wouldn't surprise me. Modern turbines are very, very optimized, because they are used in systems like power plants. Here, every fraction of a percent of efficiency is massive. Hence, modern turbines are optimized as much as many,

As a counterpoint - we do both, but these two things have different goals. Checks from the point of view of an end user are the gold standard if the service is functioning and functioning well enough. I very much agree with this. For exampl

For critical and overall... fiddly things, we've grown into a culture of writing down reviewable plans and possibly executing these plans in pairs. We tend to go ahead and either use a runbook, or whatever experience we might have, to

Yeah. I got myself a songwriting course and it's certainly not compressed, more like 20 - 30 hours in total length. And those guys do a lot of, let's call it, meandering in the topics. Like, one of the basic topics was time signat
