After the grok cli fisaco (uploading the full repo) I moved my different projects to seperate users, seperate sandbox around each harness (nono). Vm is of course even better but resources and easy of use start to be an issue

Definitely an approach worth exploring! I actually started to look into semi formal spec language like Quint because I wanted something more structured then prose, so I feel like this goes into the right direction.

Could be good option for rust projects with huge compile artifacts. Saving space and rebuild time.

In Germany, selling goods for less then the one bought them for can be illegal if its used to push competition out on a large scale.

I played with this extensively on hobby projects (music visualizer Wayland widget for example) and I like the idea. I like coming up with cool stuff and solutions. The problem is I'm just not disciplined enough, it makes me lazy. The

That looks awesome! Do you have any metrics on storage space and query/insert performance for large amounts of data? Building something that has couple of million rows.

We used to do that with device that where in difficult to reach places with harsh uptime requirement! Think industrial routers and protocol converters. I think it pays for itself very quickly. Sending someone for such a device can get expen

Only half a data point: I played around with it for a private project. It works but the documentation is far from good enough for production. I was even considering getting the book, but it's not out yet. In my humble opinion, normal d

There seems to be the notion in a lot of comments that Stoicism is about acting against one's nature or surpressing ones emotions. For me, on the other hand, it was very freeing to encounter Stoicism, because I felt like it was okay th

An interesting side effect of that is one can use the grid frequency to coordinate emergency power response - individual nodes (batteries, peaker plants, etc.) can react directly to the frequency measurement with generation or load, thus st

Could you elaborate on that? How come it requires being an insider? What constitutes an insider?

Interessting point with the tax right off. I asked my boss to donate to a open source software we used a lot in our dev department and he labeled it as license costs because donations aren't something he could argue for (big company th

The author says the learning curve is steep but it pays off at the end. Somehow I don't really see that claim well supported. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the idea of managing my system declarative (aconfmgr gets me somew

As I understand it, GrayJay is not free (as in they want to be paid, which is I think is reasonable). How does this work with something like AGPL? I'm curious to hear more, because I'm in the process of evaluating licenses for a s

I used to work for a company that wanted zero downtime through Erlang's hot code reload feature. While it absolutely works, it requires immense effort and extra code to handle state upgrades and downgrades.

I'm surprised that universities have to consider dyslexic students. When I went to university, I was basically told to figure it out. "It's your problem after elementary school. nobody cares."

car batteries aren't great for storing and retrieving energy for grid usage. to expensive for too few cycles.

Side note: donations are kind of difficult in a cooperate environment. Once I request that the department donates a modest amount to an OS project. We had to call it a 'license fee' internally. Paying it fine - donating is not :)

Every few months there is a new breakthrough in energy storage. To this day none really materialized in the way these articles claim. I work in that sector but am not an expert in the technology so make of that what you will.

Looks like a polished VC funded version of git annex. Not a bad thing, since annex is a bit clunky and unusable for people not using git. I using git annex for a while for all my files (tracking and duplicating files to 2 laptops, external
