I have this one in Canada. Works well! But having water leave the building envelope is a bit scary on very cold days. There are heat traces and freeze valves so it should be fine, but I do worry about power outages during cold snaps

That's a really interesting project! Being able to assert more, statically, about what our software is doing seems like a real growing need

Outside of the initial wave of security vulnerabilities and scrambling, it seems like the logical outcome of this over time is likely vastly more secure vm environments?

I second the recommendation. I use the Voyager, and it's a delight! I switched when I was suffering from a lot of wrist pain, and it's never come back. I only wish they offered a wireless version for a cleaner desk. I landed on th

You are essentially describing a proto-tracing system. At the risk of self-promoting twice in one comments section, I have a post walking through going from what you describe above to OTel-compatible tracing: https://jeremymorrel

D'aww, thank you! I'm hoping to find time to write more this year

HN always grumbles about OTel, but I agree. It's fine, and important: https://jeremymorrell.dev/blog/opentelemetry-and-the-value-o... I understand the author's perspective in the linked article, but none of t

As the author I’d say it’s more of an ad for sandboxes + the idea of OCaps Unless I’ve missed something obvious in my research, Dynamic Workers are the main product implementing this pattern today, but I expect there will be others for all

This is true, but it varies a lot based on local culture. "Let me buzz 'em / roll coal to teach 'em a lesson" but you're not really going to see that in, say, Seattle

I’m sorry this happened to you. However nothing in my reply implies cutting your children off from the world. Helping them avoid the harms of algorithmic feeds until they have developed the maturity to navigate them helps them be more conn

Protecting your kids from dopamine-drip algorithms and the effects of social media and short-form video during their most formative years and gradually letting them take over as they mature sounds like… parenting.

I learned very fast after purchasing my home that hiring out to a contractor made so much more sense. They can get done in a day what would take me a month+ of weekends.

pg seems to think we would be scandalized by this math, when all I feel is “so?”. The language politicians use to sell to a general public does not have any correlation to their understanding of the mechanics. The people proposing this poli

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that when people talk about the Death of SaaS, they are not talking about $20/month consumer apps. They are talking about six-figure+ enterprise deals that are the source of so much profit for

When there are huge unknowns, such as in the case of a remodel where who knows what you might find once the drywall is removed, then yes. I happily worked with a contractor on a basement renovation with no estimate for this exact reason. If

They miss estimates all the time though? It’s an observable fact There is a bridge in my town that is finally nearing completion, hopefully, this year. It was estimated to be completed 2 years ago. This changes when it’s a project that has

I dunno. Insights from Monarch have easily saved me many times the annual cost. Other tools could as well of course, but the ease-of-use makes it easy to maintain

I suspect that for a large number of orgs accepting over-provisioning would be significantly cheaper than the headcount required for a more sophisticated approach while allowing faster movement due to lower overall complexity

Why don’t you try that, convert the output to OTLP and then write about it?

Title seems slightly exaggerated since by my reading there was no actual $3000 / month bill? Still a great use-case This seems like a good idea to have plentiful dev environments and avoid a bad pricing model. If your production instan
