Loki's fine if you are very cost sensitive and are comfortable with Prometheus, but it's not really a replacement for a text-search database like Elasticsearch. It also scales about the same, both being horizontally scalable (I'm not sure what Loki's sharding strategy is). Our ELK stack runs on 3 2cpu/8gb ram nodes totaling about $160 a month and can handle 50+ million of records or so (I haven't ran it to its absolute limit). This is a comfortable price to performance ratio for us and I imagine many other companies.
Elasticsearch has built in horizontal scaling abilities, unlike Postgres/other SQL databases. It also has integrations with cloud providers for peer discovery, or can use DNS. Once a new data node is detected and reachable, the masters will start sending it shards of data, distributing the load. This all happens without any user intervention. I can't really speak to cost, it is somewhat easy to blow up the memory usage in Elastic for sure, but I can't say its been more expensive than similarly sized Postgres clusters.
Agreed, though solar tech has gotten a lot better and cheaper in the last 20 years, so it's not completely fair to compare. Power storage is still an issue, but this is getting better and better each year with the prices of lithium iron phosphate batteries coming way down.
> I'm a bit irate with the usual flow of discussions about WebAssembly here on HN that take this claim for granted and regurgitate it incessantly.
It is still more honest to regurgitate the claim that Wasm is faster than JS than to try and argue that "JS is about 10x faster than wasm in simple linear regression."
Yeah this is a turnoff for me. I get that I could compile it myself but since the authors clearly don't want that, I'd rather just put my money into tools I know will work.
Diet sodas to me taste awful, but lately I've been putting a single packet of Equal in my coffee with some vanilla and it tastes great. Lord knows I can cut out the sugar wherever possible.
I'm sure this took a lot of effort and more knowledge than I'll ever have. All of this effort could have gone to doing something constructive, and instead it's gone to breaking a system so that a small handful of people can run software (be honest, game emulators) on it, and presumably support further piracy of the system. There are already a trillion devices out there that can run emulators, we don't need another one.
I love Rust the language, and the community is generally good, but for whatever reason modern identity politics has always been looming around its key members. Maybe just because it spun out of Mozilla and the Brendan Eich debacle, who knows.
Yeah it occurred to me that I glance down to see the likes and dislikes to see how credible some of the how-to videos I watch are. A lot of them are garbage or dangerous and that's reflected in the dislike count. Fortunately you can scrub through maybe the top 30 comments to see if there's anything off.
Restic is great, I use it to back up my Nextcloud data from my raspberry pi to two locations, a separate USB drive and a remote DigitalOcean space. Very easy to use and all encrypted. I wrote a blog post about it actually! https://compileandrun.com/2021-01-31-nextcloud-traefik-resti...
I think they are some weird line wrapping hint characters? If I paste it into Pop OS's text editor I can only see the dashes if I shrink the editor to cause word wrapping, and it will insert the dashes at the wrap. It seems like some UTF magic that I hate!
The fear of looking stupid cripples me in just about everything I do. Work, both professionally and personal projects, competitive videogames, even playing piano or guitar. Maybe I can take a hint from this post and embrace it rather than avoiding it.
I think this post might be triggering a lot of people who feel it might be criticizing them. It takes a lot of emotional energy to _look_ stupid in front of people, in ways that I would guess most people here (including myself) don't.
This is awesome. I've always wanted to know how the actual layout portion works (or at least, can work in a simple way). I think these kinds of resources are really valuable and people should be empowered to make bespoke-ish web renderers as the need arises.
I have just recently done the same thing, Pop OS with Steam, on my gaming PC. It works perfectly so far and I'm so thrilled - CS Go, Planet Coaster, and most recently Gas Station Simulator have been playing great for me. It gives me a lot of hope that the Steam deck is going to be a real game changer.
