i've used a treedix tester like this. the edition with many led lights, not the one with a screen. wiggle the cables around to see if and when any of the lights flicker, indicating a bad or broken connection. i've found a few bad

some controls lend themselves well to a TUI, others not so much. buttons and pads: no problem. knobs and faders: passable but compromised. jog wheel for scratching: pretty much needs to be controller/midi. No reason this project couldn

the constraints of a TUI force you to be creative (in a good way) how to represent/encode information to the user. In a DJ TUI, how to represent the track waveform? Encoding waveform amplitude in ascii blocks or dots is a pretty low fi

my interest in this would be to customize the cleaning plan/logic... especially regarding traversing difficult carpets edges (which my roborock struggles with) maybe something like: - this specific part of the carpet is the best pl

if you have all of that info, could you then automate the mix transitions by sending MIDI commands back in? would be fun to play a playlist or radio but where the track transitions are automated, phrase-matched and non-trivial (perhaps last

That was my experience too. The experience with powerline ethernet adapters was unbearable on a daily basis. We had an unused coax (which we disconnected from the outside world) and used MoCA adapters (actiontek) and it's been consiste

if a heap dump is a copy of all the bytes in memory, then wouldn't "thousands of heap dumps" likely be larger than 410GB? napkin math: 410GB/1000 dumps = 410MB per dump? 410GB/2000 dumps = 205MB per dump

From the FAQ: > Why is the project called doxxer? Because it's like somebody who doxes, by exposing the version information about Git repo to you!

Did same but for Asteroids. Had a working wireframe version after only a couple of prompts! I think using the term "Asteroids" in my original prompt was a bit of cheat/shortcut. My lessons learned for prompting were to have p

Probably quite a few prompts. Should we be checking in our prompt history into version control as a kind of source code or requirements spec? Seems prompt revision and improvement would be valuable to keep a history of.

In the rare event that robovacs manage to traverse the treacherous rug tassels, their algorithm should cause them to stay on that rug and finish it before exiting.

Anyone tried the SC1000 in this list? I want to make this, but as a MIDI controller instead of having self-contained music. https://diy-synths.snnkv.com/synths/SC1000 https://github.com/rasteri/SC1

If your source emits logs in OpenTelemetry format, using an OTel Collector inbetween you could do sometimes-JSON parsing of log content before the backend.

Re: storage, Kibana (Elastic) has a new (as of v8.17) "logsdb" index mode which claims to be ~2.5x more storage efficient than previous options.

It's also not ideal to have a different query language for different Grafana datastores (LogQL, PromQL, TraceQL). Are there any plans on making a unified Grafana query language?

by kbouck 2y ago
From the docs it looks like you ingest directly from apps instrumented with your libraries. Do you also plan to ingest OpenTelemetry events, such as those exported from an OpenTelemetry agent, or OpenTelemetry collector?

Proposed Solution 1 is preferable in that it accounts for both DB outage, slowness, and worker crash, and you describe additional safety mechanisms to prevent queue becoming blocked by poison/invalid messages. Proposed Solution 2 witho
