Sure Amazon was a big established co at the dawn of the cloud, and a little bit of an unexpected dark horse. None of the managed hosting providers saw Amazon coming. Also ran's like Rackspace and the like where also pretty established by that point.
But there was also cool stuff happening at smaller places like Joyent, Heroku, Slicehost, Linode, Backblaze, iron.io, etc.
> no bidirectional power, no integration with solar or smart home systems, and no ability to manage home energy dynamically. They tend to be boxy, ruggedized, meant to be moved around, not seamlessly integrated into your living space. On top of that, many use e-mobility battery chemistries, which are great for delivering high power on demand but wear out faster when cycled daily for home energy use.
I already use an Ecoflow as quasi-UPS in my networking closet and one for a chest freezer and its worked great for that. They advertise a ~25ms switch over. I think (could be wrong) they also have features like scheduled tasks to managed recharge/discharge schedules.
Is the main difference between an Ecoflow and this basically the form factor?
I could swear I've also gotten data sync's while in limited connectivity situations, but to be fair could be that occasionally it was just able to phone in enough to do its thing.
Service is back up, so just testing real quick, at least on IOS , turning off wifi/cellular (not airplane mode) - my fenix at least seems to still be streaming heart rate data to the app. Not entirely sure what else will update from local data though (if anything).
Same! (but more side gig for me) It was pandemic hobby. Started out just making a chefy with a custom handle for my wife from a premade blank. Did the next one by hand with a file and a little home made forge, then went all in on a belt grinder, evenheat kiln etc.
The material science side of the blade is a blast - but one of my favorite bits is actually all the variety in handle materials. https://gcarta.bigcartel.com/products has some amazing patterns.

Her and Adam Savage would get a long great I bet. He had an entire live stream sorting a box of knobs and handles he picked up at an estate sale, that he was super excited about.
Cato's a pretty well-known libertarian think tank. Not saying they are right or wrong or that your choice of words was intentional, but calling them "The conservative Cato Institute" feels a little iffy.
"Libertarian think tank says Texas sucks for personal freedom" has very different vibe than "Conservative think tank says Texas sucks for personal freedom"
Gerrit was ok, the openstack gerrit web ui was kinda iffy (at least circa 2013/14). Its been long enough that i don't really remember any details but it was bothersome enough that a couple of us wrapped the ssh gerrit commands in a cli: https://github.com/pandemicsyn/fgerrit
This will be interesting. I wonder what will happen to Dr Larrin Thomas (https://knifesteelnerds.com/about-me/) he's been able to bring some new knife steels to market while working for US Steel by day. Wonder if Nippon allows side gigs.
What's a good pet insurance carrier/plan, that's not just a straight up scam that just cover's the yearly stuff and some select things? Legit asking because with two super active GSD's I'd sign up in a heart beat if I found one.
is that the case? They sold a bunch early on but theres been lots of press about the lousy 40 series sales volume this year and their struggle to get people buy 4080/70's.
In Feb they artifically constrained 4090 volume to try and push 4080s no one wanted. The 4070 was dead on arrival and had production cut by April.
They've near stopped production now - theoretically because the AI stuff is so lucrative, but if they were really "shipping a ton of units" of the 40 series and didn't have excess inventory i doubt they'd have done that.
Meltano's all-remote team and community of thousands are on a mission to enable everyone to realize the full potential of their data. To this end, we are bringing software engineering best practices to data teams in the form of an open source DataOps OS that we envision becoming the foundation of every team's ideal data stack.
Our public company handbook (https://handbook.meltano.com/) has all the details on our values, all-remote work, where we hire, compensation, benefits, and what it's like to work with us in general. We've got a bunch of opening https://boards.greenhouse.io/meltano.
It's not listed yet, but we're also opening up a slot for our first SRE hire as we're ramping up to build out the managed offering. Meltano the open-source project has some general best practices but this is a brand new, from scratch managed offering. This role would be wonderful for someone who's always wanted to help build out the infra platform for a managed product from scratch.
If you're interested in that SRE role you can apply using the general opening - https://boards.greenhouse.io/meltano/jobs/4088510004, feel free to drop me a note (florian AT meltano.com) and I'll make sure the hiring folks know you're interested in the SRE role. Also happy to answer any questions folks might have.
