I had figured that it would be about NIXIE tubes but was happy to learn about something I hadn't come across before. Pretty neat.

xvf33··on Prometheus reaches 1.0
I suppose what I'm asking for isn't really possible yet. Hopefully it ends up getting implemented at some point.

Still look forward to rolling out Prometheus for all of the other great features. Congrats on the release!

I my have misread the documentation but there seems to be no way to get the same output as the highestAverage, highestCurrent, or highestCurrent functions from graphite.

Not sure how to filter through say 300 servers and select out the top 10 for a particular time span. I would think that it would be a common need but I guess I'm missing something?

What's with all the fluff videos? Can we have a channel with just a comms feed?

xvf33··on Amazon Spars With The Times Over Investigative Article
Same here. I know 2 people who went there, both after short startup stints after college. They both lasted under 2 years and are now at Mozilla and Facebook and would never go back. So many awful stories...
xvf33··on Will 787 program ever show an overall profit? Analysts grow more skeptical
The Trent 1000 and GEnx are bleedless engines so no they would not fit the A330Neo and A350 just fine.

Yes but to lower NOx the CO2 goes up if they lower temps.

I just "lost" a few hours reading that thread. Thanks!
