It's currently impossible to write alert rules for Prometheus vectors. https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/35663

Missing basic functionality like that is a dealbreaker.

No, rampant corruption in your government and an active criminal investigation against you makes you a disgrace.
x Nanometer or y Ångström isn't based on physical size anymore and is just a marketing term.

From the article:

>A lot of the industry, for whatever reason, hasn’t learned that these numbers aren’t actually a physical measurement. They used to be, but when we moved from 2D planar transistors to 3D FinFET transistors, the numbers became nothing more than a marketing tool.

vscode supports all of these and is free. The go language server has been buggy in the past but it's been improving quickly.
