sciurus

I'm curious about this too. I have also experienced this at times, although I wouldn't have found these words to describe it. I don't think it's been tied to any particular conditions like heat or stress. Usually it happens when I'm in bed and beginning to fall asleep.

Googling turns up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome which sounds like what I've experienced.

Based on https://astrobackyard.com/the-bortle-scale/ I'm guessing 3 or 2 to see it well.

You'd expect that to use a different antenna, something directional and for higher frequencies.

Yes, those look like folded dipoles for VHF, which is the band railroads use.

Are the financials of KaiOS public?

You should care. This opens you up to subdomain takeovers, which have real security implications.

> I guess TF makes a lot more sense for on-premise, bare metal VMs ?

No, not necessarily. If you have an API for orchestrating your on-premise infrastructure (openstack etc), then sure.

Where terraform shines is managing resources in your cloud provider.

I.E. creating the GCP project and GKE cluster that you need before you can apply your k8s YAML. Or creating the cloudsql databases, GCS buckets, etc that the apps running in your k8s cluster need.

> compare to something based on an imperative language, say Puppet or Chef

I'm puzzled by this comparison. I consider both of these to be primarily declarative languages. You declare the state you want puppet or chef to enforce, not how they get there.

What do you mean by crypto? I think we do lots of interesting work in that area. Heck, our CTO was the editor of the RFC for TLS 1.3.

AWS's (poorly named) SSM Session Manager service already allows that.

Light pollution from cities is much bigger deal than satellites though, isn't it?

There are already apps for finding out where to go to avoid it, like https://www.darkskymap.com/. As well as just websites like https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/

I thought they were dead, but it seems they're back.

IIRC this only occurs if you are using your distro's firefox package. If your package manager upgrades firefox out from under it, things break and you have to restart Firefox to get back in a sane state.

If you use Mozilla's build of Firefox and it's built-in update system I think this won't happen.

You can narrow it down by city, e.g.

That shows Austin median at 62% of SF, FWIW.

With this approach, people have to start sharding their data as soon as one server can't handle their application and sqlite usage.

Why not advocate instead for people to start out running their application and postgresql on the same server, with wal-e for backups to S3?

That has almost the same benefits while everything fits on one server, but opens up alternative approaches to scaling if one day things no longer fit.

> You can get around it by using async instead of blocking, using fibers which don't block, or using a thread pool so other threads can keep serving.

The typical approach for Ruby, Python, and similar languages is just to run more processes.

FWIW my wife and I often look to the information on https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ to help us decide what's age-appropiate for our kids to watch.

That's only viable if you're using AWS's load balancers or CDN, though.

AWS's Kinesis, GCP's PubSub, whatever Azure has.

It looks like you're largely selling a fancy installer for software primarily developed by another company, Grafana Labs. They offer both open source, hosted SaaS, and paid-for "enterprise" versions of their software.

Why should someone choose Opstrace over purchasing from them directly?

I owned a used Sony Vaio P for a while; I think it's something worth looking into if you want a base to build a "cyberdeck" around. It's 1.5lbs with an 8-inch 1600x768 display. That diminutive size and ultra wide screen make it look unlike any mainstream laptop.

Github is well know for doing chatops for everything. In fact, I think they may have invented the term.

Here's a relevant talk from 2013: https://youtu.be/NST3u-GjjFw

I'm surprised they didn't include PyPy in the benchmarks.

> If its customers would prefer to operate an Elasticsearch service provided by AWS as opposed to Elastic, then that is a problem for Elastic to resolve.

How would you try to resolve that, if you were them?

Confluent absolutely wants a cut for hosted Kafka usage, though, and has made similar changes to Elastic.
