This looks great! I've been planning on adding NYISO power data to the NYC Dashboard (https://dash.hudsonshipping.co), so this is very encouraging to see! I unfortunately don't think the US has such granular data - I love seeing the interconnectors to other countries.
The First Tycoon by T.J Stiles - a great biography (easy to read) about Cornelius Vanderbilt, and you get a lot of amazing history on NYC and the rise of modern transportation and freight (steamboats to railroads). I recommend to anyone interested in NYC history and supply chains in general
Good find - it is pretty crazy how this impactful change (I can see the logistics/supply chain subreddits abuzz with this news) isn't at all clearly defined. Per your link:
> They cite ambiguity about what kind of goods are covered by the new rules, and the lack of time to process their implications.
Great read - as a young startup with Chase, this is an interesting story. As Mitch says, this isn't inherently an issue with Chase, but interesting bank behavior. I'll be sure to keep this story in mind, if we ever get to these amounts of cash!
I use a few bitnami charts, and I'm now going to have to migrate them.
For everyone here surprised that anyone would use them, here's some context from my perspective: as a small startup, having a pre-configured Kafka chart was a lifesaver, where I only needed to tweak the parameters I was interested in, which took me a lot less time than setting up a whole Kafka environment from scratch. It was relatively quick to setup, and felt like the right move to put something like Kafka in production (and not have to pay for Confluent when everything else is self hosted)
Ah - thank you for pointing that. It's a bug that happens when I restart the process, and I don't catch the error. I'm fixing it for the next release at the end of the week
This is such great news, and these are very notable speedups (decoding and filtering)! I'm looking to host our own tiles, and this would not only reduce file size but also improve performance on our maps (https://dash.hudsonshipping.co could use a speedup in loading the tiles, though we are ever grateful to OpenFreeMap).
Will keep an eye out for MapLibre news regarding the JS release of this.
Great read, I didn't know about the Swiss approach to infrastructure projects, but I like it. In a sense, it's how successful networks are built: slowly, but steadily. I'm reminded of the Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen, where he states that starting at a smaller scale, you'll get a small network with more engagement that you can sustainably grow over time, whereas large companies that roll out a networked project in a big bang (Google+, anyone?) can dramatically fail.
Very insightful and I look forward to applying this in NYC logistics!
> Postgres and Apache Iceberg are both mature systems
Apache Iceberg as mature? I mean, there's a lot of activity around it, but I remember a year ago the rust library didn't even have write capabilities. And it's not like the library is a client and there's an iceberg server - the library literally is the whole product, interacting with the files in s3
This certainly doesn't apply to all cases, and version control / history is very complicated, but I use a notepad and a felt tip pen and I just couldn't use anything else to keep track of my TODOs for the day! It has been my goto ever since my first job, and it's never failed me!
Great read, and a great example of America's failure to complete infrastructure projects. I agree with the proposed solutions, and I do hope that some local governments start enacting some of them.
I'm reminded of the staggering cost for a new railroad in the US, that can go up to $4M/mile near urban environments[0]. We need more articles like these and some political courage to get building again!
Grok 4 has about 99% accuracy in picking the right tools and making tool calls with proper arguments almost every single time.
Where did this number come from? What is "the right tool"? I find this extremely subjective. As most engineers know, there is no right tool, but mostly a compromise where you pick the least worst tool and choose what risks you're willing to manage or not.
I'm not aware of one. You do raise a good point, there still is some things to configure in the UI. My understanding is this can all be automated by API, but I haven't seen a full k8s automation yet. I'll post here if I find anything
I've been using this for years. There's even a kubernetes deployment to directly point your tunnel to your local kubetnetes network.
Cloudflare's free tier is very generous.
I've never experienced any issues with this solution.
