Mind sharing some metrics (time it took you ...tokens etc) and the approach you took? Did you break it up by module? Share some prompts?

how is this compared to https://shadowtraffic.io/

Which LLM can generate that timeline event graphic from text?
Why did they decide to build a custom front end vs leverage Grafana that’s already as the front layer?
are you able to share the link to your prompts / conversation?
it'd be cool to see the prompts used and the edits required to get to the end product here.
Thank you. Look forward to it! How is the data model visuzalization built? Does Duckdb provide that out of the box?
Is this on GitHub to take a look at the code?

What are some good datasets to combine with weather data based on a geolocation?

Are there such immersive math courses geared more towards middle / high schoolers?
Re:A love letter to Apache Echarts on Sunday February 18, 2024 @06:53AM (#39418327)
Is Superset extensible enough to click on the charts -- for example, click on part of the pie-chart and have it show the list that makes up the data for that part of the pie chart?
Re:City of Boulder Open Data on Sunday November 26, 2023 @11:05AM (#38422607)
This is pretty neat. Wonder if they're using some data catalog under the covers for the search screen or is it all custom built.
Re:Shopify live dashboard on Friday November 24, 2023 @10:07AM (#38404711)
What library is used to make the frontend globe rendering? Its pretty fast and not laggy on my chrome browser.
This is great. I am very curious about the architectural decisions you've taken here. Is there a blog post / article about them? 80 yrs of historical data -- are you storing that somewhere in PG and the APIs are just fetching it? If so, what indices have you set up to make APIs fetch faster etc. I just fetched 1960 to 2022 in about 12 secs.
Re:New Map APIs from Google on Wednesday August 30, 2023 @07:43AM (#37320554)
This is great but doesn't work for applications that don't have the luxury of the internet. What are some decent map alternatives for air-gapped (no internet access) applications.
Re:SQLedge: Replicate Postgres to SQLite on the Edge on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @06:39PM (#37069343)
Honest question: why is SQLLite needed for local? Why would you not have PG at edge that replicates data with central PG? That way the SQL dialect problem you mentioned wouldn't exist.
This is a phenomenal resource. I wish it also included the DevOps category -- k8s, aws, terraforms of the world.
> The problem is common and well-known, but hard to prevent and does not have any mitigations built in to the AWS platform.

Does anyone know if this is fixed by AWS now?

Raft (https://goraft.tech/) | Sr. Engineers (Multiple Roles) | Full Time | Remote (US Based)

Raft partners with the DoD to work on three core things:

- Distributed Data Systems (Kafka, Flink, Airflow, Kubeflow)

- Platforms at Scale (K8s, Hardware in the loop, QEMU emulation, C++/Rust)

- Reactive App Dev (Scala, ReactJS, Python/Django)

Essentially it boils down to working on things that enable this: https://www.cnet.com/science/space/us-military-says-spacex-h...

We have multiple roles across the three disciplines. The company has grown 150% since last year. We offer meaningful equity, great work life balance (no on-call) + benefits, and hard problems to solve with wide impact.

> Couch seems like a fantastic way to go for use cases involving syncing data between devices with an offline mode and syncing between clients. It was built from the ground up with replication in mind.

Have you come across any simple examples that show offline mode and syncing between clients with replication?

P1 has been leading the pack here. Most of the guidance mentioned in this guide has been coming from the CSO's office [0] for a while. We're using OPA extensively for not just container level policies but blocking column/cell level access in queries. We have multiple roles [1] to help Kessel Run, Space CAMP, and other software factories with this.

what are some practical use cases of being able to run docker inside docker? Does that help with hardware in the loop?

Very interested in the background image on their home page that slowly animates as well. That looks really great. Anyone know how are they doing that? https://fast.design/
