This is my game! I was recently curious about how many 5x5 nonograms can be solved purely with logic, no guessing. After running my nonogram solver on all 33,554,432 possible pixel combinations in a 5x5 grid, it turns out the answer is 24,976,511.

Inspired by One Million Checkboxes, I thought it would be cool to create a realtime, collaborative nonogram game where we can collectively try to complete all ~25 million of these puzzles. Just launched it this afternoon and its already at 65k solved!

Let me know if you have any feedback.

This is fun! But with more progress made, finding a puzzle to solve will become the hardest path.

Maybe a heat map of all sections based on completion percentage? And maybe a way to jump to the first or a random unsolved puzzle once you've opened a section?

jaachan commented on Ask HN: What's your preferred logging stack in Kubernetes    · Posted by u/ryanisnan

I'm currently migrating from Elasticsearch to Loki, and it's much simpler to run and still meet our requirements.

I think Elasticsearch had its day when it's used to derive metrics from logs and performing aggregate searches. But now as logging is often paired with metrics from Prometheus or similar tdb, we don't run such complex log queries anymore, and so we find ourselves questioning whether it's worth running such a intensive and complex Elasticsearch installation.

We migrated away from an Elastic stack to a Loki stack, and were able to store order of magnitude more data for less money. Maybe we did Elastic wrong, but we tried various managed solutions and always ran into limits. The new Loki stack has always given quicker answers too.

> There is almost no good reason to choose MySQL over PostgreSQL for any operational reason

Galera is the main one I can think of:

* https://galeracluster.com/library/documentation/tech-desc-in...

* https://mariadb.com/kb/en/what-is-mariadb-galera-cluster/

* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=galera

I'm not aware of any multi-master, active-active(-active) replication system that is open source for PostgreSQL.

We ran a Galera cluster for 4 days and it died on the first ALTER TABLE we did. Only option was to reduce it down to a Primary / Replica setup. I really can't recommend anyone using this.

I'm using UpCloud who are good, but a bit more expensive than Linode or DigitalOcean.

Normally I'd agree, but... Have you seen today's status ? https://status.upcloud.com/ 6 hour downtime and no updates

Couldn’t they also have solved the glibc requirement by bundling it as well, just like the SDL library?
jaachan · 5 years ago
I made an attempt to compile glibc myself when I ran into the same issue when playing Nebukadnezzar on steam. But that is no easy task. I think it's directly tied into the rest of Linux. Targeting an older version of glibc is much easier.

(Nebukadnezzar recommended using Proton, which worked fine.)

This one is about HTTP APIs. Shouldn't the title reflect this?
jaachan · 5 years ago
Some of these suggestions (like the sleep(16)) also apply to non-HTTP APIs.

In fact, I find the headers part of the suggestion the least useful. No client will check these headers.

"Starting February 1st, 2019 there will be no attempt to disable EDNS as reaction to a DNS query timeout. This effectivelly means that all DNS servers which do not respond at all to EDNS queries are going to be treated as dead."

So it basically means that authoritative DNS servers are now required to support the EDNS protocol. If not, it is no longer guaranteed the domain will resolve on DNS resolvers.

This is a performance improvement, because the EDNS fallback method requires a timeout.

Edit: My answer isn't correct, see the comments below.

Testing my DNS server gets me:

    edns=ok edns1=noerror,badversion,soa
    ednsopt=ok edns1opt=noerror,badversion,soa
Wikipedia doesn't mention anything about EDNS versions, so I'm not sure what to make of it.

I can't really find a simple explanation of what this means. The warnings in the EDNS compliance tester aren't really helpful either. Is there a simple explanation somewhere?

4DOS. Tab complete in DOS!

Wikipedia says its now open source.

I've got Clink for tab completion and other cmd fancies.

I really need a curved keyboard, typing on a straight one just feels cramped. Other than that, looks fancy.
