Lots of people saw this coming. This isn't a surprise, but it is horrifying. The safety concerns were a large part of the railroad workers union's complaints a few months ago, which was squashed by the US gov. All the corners have

I think most of it is legacy. Trains have been around for a long time, and changing something on tens of thousands of locomotives and millions of train cars would be very expensive and complicated. Most systems now have a reserve tank on ea

Fully automated freight rail is not possible with the infrastructure and technology we currently have unless the rail companies accept insane risk. For example, if one of the locomotive engines stops working and the train must stop, you nee

A plane with it's ID as "blocked" took off on a steep climb from near Sudbury ON and is headed in that direction as well. I'd imagine it's a CF-18 jet or something similar... https://www.flightradar24.com

Always nice to see something that isn't Jira ;) Is there any plan for Jira Server/Cloud import? I think the major roadblock for a lot of people moving away from those platforms is that most competitors either don't support pr

From my understanding, there's two major issues with geoengineering. 1. You have to keep doing it forever, and likely accelerate the rate at which you do. If rapid decarbonization doesn't happen in tandem, you'll need to be a

The airline probably lets you buy a ticket but "technical errors" prevent them from printing a boarding pass when you go to check in. Then a circus of head scratching ensues while the desk staff stall for time until your flight le

2 cores and 4 GB memory is more than adequate for a <10 users. My instance runs on an old Celeron NUC sitting on the shelf above the litter box and connects to the internet through a cloudflare tunnel. Works great, and is basically free

My wife recently pointed out to me that cars from 15-25 years ago all have "happy faces" and newer cars (late 00's to current) often have "angry faces". It's silly at first, but the more you think about it, the

It's also not too difficult to hook up a GH actions job to generate the documents with pandoc and spit them out directly into dropbox/sharepoint for "non-techie consumption". Great for semi-technical documentation that b

I like the method of adding a "deleted: true" flag to records that are ready to be deleted which makes them hidden in the UI, then log or email something like "INFO: 592 records to be deleted". Then, after another couple

Eh, it's not much better. You want to play a game, but the game needs 80GB of updates before it will open. Oops, it dropped out 90% of the way there and needs to start over. It's better than GPU-driver-hell, but consoles aren&#x27

One thing that's an absolute must: Put an ISO-8601 timestamp at the very beginning of every line in your log. No apache format, no "sun" or "jan" or other words. ISO only. Seriously. If the timestamp is in a weird f

What can hypersonic missiles do that wave-skimming anti-ship cruise missiles or ballistic missiles can't do? Carrier groups are certainly vulnerable, but I would think that their vulnerabilities are fairly well understood at this point

All things being equal, rent is always more than a mortgage. There's no such thing as a landlord renting at or below cost. They're pricing in the costs of financing, insurance, property tax, utility connections, etc. and you'

I think a big part of what makes people so afraid of radiation is how easy it is to detect. Imagine if you had a geiger counter that detected Dioxin, Benzine, or PFAS contamination? It would be going off pretty much constantly. You can dete

You could say the same about any "new" energy technology though. Solar was a 'bondoggle' and a complete waste of time and money... right up until it wasn't. Fusion is at the point Fission was in the 1940s. It works

One of the nicest recent addition to Fluentbit has been support for Prom metrics. The same way you can buffer and re-send logs, you can now handle metrics as well. It's always really nice to see metrics data back-filling after somethin
