Re:For the love of god stop using CPU limits in Kubernetes on Friday August 14, 2026 @07:07AM (#49297165)
I don’t think you understand how CPU limits and the Linux CPU scheduler work. CPU limits don’t protect you from something taking all the CPU; that’s what CPU requests do. Limits throttle your pods even if the CPU is idle/free to do work.

From your linked article:

> Langstroth hive frames can weigh as much as 40 to 90 pounds and must be lifted up out of the hive.

For anyone surprised or unfamiliar, that’s the weight of an entire box with 8-10 frames, not the weight of a single frame—while that’d be delightful in terms of honey production, it’d be miserable when doing hive checks, etc.

I'll second @josevalim's comment, but I also wanted to mention how delighted I am to find out today that a joke[1] I probably spent way too much time 7 years ago has actually served a useful purpose!

Re:Erlang: The coding language that finance forgot on Thursday February 02, 2023 @10:15AM (#34627625)
It’s really delightful that we’re able to get the thoughts of someone who was there and involved in the genesis of the language.

Thank you for all the time you’ve taken to explain the “why” of Erlang!

Re:Vaccine for Honeybees Against American Foulbrood on Tuesday January 10, 2023 @09:56AM (#34325753)
Varroa doesn’t cause deformed bees or slimy comb; it just weakens the bees such that they can’t effectively maintain the health of the hive, especially over winter, causing the hive to die out. While Varroa can also be a vector for other pathogens, it’s the effect on hive population before the winter where it’s most harmful.

(I’m a beekeeper in the US, so Varroa is something I’m unfortunately too familiar with.)

That said, I’d much rather deal with Varroa than AFB any day as it stands today. The current required action for AFB in my area is burning the entire hive including the woodenware. A vaccine to prevent AFB would be fantastic, as it’d remove the one thing that I’m actually concerned about from getting into my apiary.

> semantic versioning allows "1.2.3alpha"

Perhaps I missed it, but I thought [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) required a “-“ between the patch number and a prerelease identifier since at least version 1.0.0 (with 1.0.0-beta allowing a “.” instead of a “-“), no?

Re:Cloudflare GA Week Recap on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @11:10AM (#33008901)
Pretty excited about some of the stuff that shipped in GA week and what I’ve seen of Birthday week so far (Account WAF and worker queues in particular), but it’d be even cooler if Cloudflare could ship Logpush for Worker’s Trace Events (announced May 5 2022) and the worker service environments, which were “temporarily disabled” in early May as well. Not having those is really hindering our adoption of Workers more broadly, which is a bummer.
We get the day off for it at Updater.
What domestic wells currently have non-existent transport? What pipelines has the Biden administration not approved other than the Keystone XL (which TC Energy abandoned plans for nearly a year ago)?
So wages shouldn’t be driven by demand and supply on the market? Seems pretty anti-capitalist, no?

Re:A man growing lettuce for space station salads on Sunday August 15, 2021 @10:28AM (#28189002)
I’m curious to know where you learned about polk salad and that specific name for it. I’ve seen the use of “polk” to refer to “poke” before (the song Polk Salad Annie immediately comes to mind), but I always heard it called “poke” salad, which makes sense given the plant name is pokeweed. That said, hearing it called “poke” could also just be due to the regional accent/dialect of where I’m from.

Re:My Custom Stream Deck Toolkit on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @12:59PM (#28051488)
The Valve Steam Deck was announced on July 15, 2021 and isn’t even released yet. The Elgato Stream Deck has been for sale since mid 2017.

I don’t think Elgato, the manufacturer of the Stream Deck, or this guy, who wrote code to integrate with it, have anything to worry about.

Re:A Way to Manage Dotfiles on Wednesday May 12, 2021 @07:51PM (#27136658)
Huge fan of rcm! I’m in a very similar position - I’ve used many a different dotfile system, and after finally settling on rcm, I couldn’t want more from it.
A federal judge did side with this. This fell into one of the limited exceptions to the law that would require the recipients to normally return the funds, since they were owed the money disbursed and weren’t notified about the mistake prior to receiving the money.
Re:Asdf – An Extendable Version Manager on Thursday February 04, 2021 @01:10AM (#26023092)
Yes. I tried it, ended up writing my own node version manager inspired by chruby, then went back to asdf and have been so glad I made the switch back. It's performant, it makes it easy to manage all the things where I care about using a specific version so easy, and the maintainers are super responsive and engaged.
Re:Coming soon: Google Fiber 2 Gig on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @04:21PM (#25063128)
It's a huge mess. The ISP I'm talking about is actually our power company as well, so they have internet service everywhere they provide power service. Thanks to telecom lobbying, some folks in Congress, and the courts, if you happen to live across the street from where they provide power, you can't get internet from them, even though they have the desire and capability to provide it to you.
Re:Coming soon: Google Fiber 2 Gig on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @04:12PM (#25063042)
Oh, I definitely understand. I'm using their $70/month 1Gbps tier and haven't been hurting for bandwidth, nor do I have any devices in my house that could leverage 10 Gbps at this point.
Re:Coming soon: Google Fiber 2 Gig on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @04:08PM (#25063001)
Nope, they've got 1Gbps fiber for $70/month as well (that's what I've got). The 10 gig residential option was really just something they did because they could. The ISP is actually our power company, and after stringing up a ton of fiber to build a smart grid (which has been super nice in terms of reducing time without power), they realized they had a lot of extra capacity and could easily provide internet service with it.
Re:Coming soon: Google Fiber 2 Gig on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @02:00PM (#25061589)
Meanwhile, we've had residential 10Gbps fiber available since 2015 here in Chattanooga, TN - $299/month (no additional fees or taxes) with no contract.
