This reminds me of a less feature-rich version of PgAnalyze, but it's always nice to have alternative OSS options for this sort of optimization work.

I think that people are just not ready for the sort of novel privilege escalation we are going to see with over-provisioned agents. I suspect that we will need OS level access gates for this stuff, with the agents running in separate user spaces. Any recommended best practices people are establishing?

I would find it hard to believe this isn't the critical factor in her departure. Surprising that the linked thread isn't getting any traction. Or not?

I also am a bit mystified as to why this isn't trending to the front.

I'm fairly convinced that the arrest of Pavel Durov on content-moderation related issues is actually an attempt by a NATO state at securing information about adversaries, as it's the most used messaging app by Russian forces in Ukraine. Apparently the Wagner Group had developed their own messaging client, ostensibly for this reason.

I have recently been playing Cyberpunk 2077 in which ammo vending machines are legion. Up until today, I had thought that this phenomenon was just a poignant critique of a fictional dystopian future.

Sidecars are definitely a workaround but are hard to manage lifecycle for in conjunction with the primary container. This is now easier to do in 1.29+ with Sidecars officially supported via restartPolicy, but it was a colossal hassle prior to the advent of that. Also, we had noticed (maybe this has changed) that often logging frameworks were distro'd as DaemonSets (Helm, etc) and you'd have to shoe-horn the sidecar approach a bit.

We waited on this issue for 2 years before migrating off EKS Fargate to Managed Node Groups due to this very reason. In the end, it turned out to be much better of an environment anyway, because you didn't have to deal with Kubernetes oddities (like lack of Daemonsets) requiring anti-patterns and ultimately resulted in cheaper pricing due to better bin-packing. If you're doing K8s orchestration with Fargate, I highly recommend the switch.

It's nice to know that we have an ARM64 fallback if our perfectly robust and cheaper self-hosting of GHA (gha-runner-scale-set* components) were ever to go down, I suppose, but I can't help but feel like I am part of a huge market segment that GitHub lost during the ARM64 runner absence. Seems a little too late given they have natively supported action-runners images in ARM64 for some time.

As a former ASCII / ANSI artist, I wish this thing existed like 20 years ago and could make exportable animations for all my BBS needs. Can't wait to tinker!

That's a good point! Funny how some things get permanently lodged in some brain folds.

Don't ask me how I remember this number that I haven't used in 20-odd years, but maybe that alludes to the impact it made on the community at large.

RIP ICQ

I have an old rock tumbler hanging out in my garage. Now I have a practical near-daily use for it. Hindsight is 20/20.

Wayback machine lead me to rediscover a Doom 2 level I made awhile back [1]. What a treasure of a resource!

It was a fantastic album - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISDN_(album)

Yet another side-effect of increased wealth inequality. You can call it a homelessness, housing, socioeconomic, or political crisis, but it's all a manifestation of one central problem. I worry this skew will only be further exacerbated by the asymmetric yields of ML-driven market capture, since we have no cohesive plans to smooth this transition in the United States.

I'm beginning to worry that we're giving mice too much of an edge ...

It is ArcGIS. Here is their Emergency Operations Center overlay:

You get used to refreshing this page during down-slope, windy, red flag days.

Will have to look into this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Any recollection on how you arrived at the --yjit-exec-mem-size value? We've been running YJIT in production for some time, but haven't looked into tuning this at all.

I have a couple of these recommendations on vinyl. Great guide!

How do you DRY up an XML file like you can with YAML anchors?

Thanks for this. Will likely defer until this lands, but looking forward to trying out Brotli and Zstd for this use case!

We've seen observable performance increases in migrating to unix domain sockets wherever possible, as some TCP stack overhead is bypassed.

Just chiming in here to say how great of a product ArgoCD is. We've been using it for a few years now and it makes for a highly configurable deployment management layer on top of our clusters. Highly recommend it for managing multiple application deployments where things like RBAC, observability, and configurability matter. Also doesn't hurt that it has a decent UX (although we primarily interface via automatons these days). The project maintainers are also extremely responsive and professional (thanks @alexmt!).

All that being said, Cuber definitely feels like a different sort of market fit.

The only correct answer to this question is 2012-09-10, the PostgreSQL 9.2 release date. In that release they unveiled JSON datatypes, and developers were able to have their cake and eat it too.

500's on every repo page + CLI errors on pull / push. Completely useless at the moment.

Docker Compose allows for resource limits which can be useful for testing harnesses. I know this works locally for v3.9:

  version: '3.9'
  services:
    some-container:
      deploy:
         resources:
           limits:
             cpus: '0.5'
             memory: 1.5G
           reservations:
             cpus: '0.5'
             memory: 1.5G

It's all for naught if this is overlooked.
