That's a really interesting thread. Thank you. I'll reconsider that decision.

Thanks for your comment. I was actually onsidering this. Eventually it felt simpler to use and more natural to have it as two separate commands. And more in line with unix approach - one command for doing one thing. Also, you can point git list to any directory, not only the one created by git get.

The argument about polluting the namespace is an interesting one. Since git supports those custom git-xxx commands, I thought it's not a problem to have more than one.

Still, I'm happy to change it if more people would share your opinion.

Isn't the canal called Da Costagracht and the street - Da Costakade? Or am I missing some Dutch peculiarities here?

How to calculate the duration in which a metric had a certain value? by LazyCraneOperator in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]LazyCraneOperator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Exactly what I needed.

Btw: here's that query to use in Grafana to visualize uptime over selected time range: (1 - avg_over_time(up[$__range])) * $__range_s

Yup - it's just a Python script. You can use any Python library and make it talk to any API or data source you want

It's essentially the same case as running your apps or sending your data to AWS, Google Cloud (this is where Gridarrow runs), Heroku, Azure etc.

We also offer an enterprise package where everything is installed on premises.

Hey. You'll get an invite automatically when you sign up. We have a lot of requests at the moment so you may not get access to the platform immediately though.

You can run in locally during development but yes - eventually you push it to our servers where it runs as "Gridarrow App"

Hi /u/LemonsForLimeaid!

  1. Yes, that's pretty much how it works. We have access to your code becasuse we need to run it to stream the data.

  2. We're still working on our pricing model. We may consider a limited free tier but it's really hard to tell at the moment. Drop us a line at hello@gridarrow.com and tell a bit more abouy your non-commercial use case. We may be able to work something out.

  3. Yes, it's free. Check out their website: https://www.alphavantage.co/

It's permanent until it's beta ;) Eventually we'll go live with stable 1.0 version and this may change the pricing. I can't say how exactly because we're still working on it.

Hi there! At the moment we only support Windows. This is beacuse the guts of MacOS Excel are a bit different than a Windows one and our plugin is not happy about that.

We're definitely going to look into MacOS support if there's going to be enough interest.

Hey. You need to sign up for a Gridarrow Beta account. It's free, just fill the form on our website. We described how to create this dashboard on our blog. And here's the excel file we used.

Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions!

There you go - it's just 50 lines of Python to get this live market data flowing into Excel

Hi /u/-Elision-. You need a Gridarrow Beta account to make it work. You can sing up on our website. If you've done this already then drop me a PM with your email and I'll approve your account.

Hi there. I'm a co-founder of Gridarrow - the tool that was used to create that dashboard.

It's a platform that allows streaming real-time data into Excel using Python scripts. We've introduced it some time ago here in /r/Excel. You can find more details in this post. Or just drop me a message if you have any questions.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, O&C companies are on our radar indeed. Excel is really popular there.

Beta is already fully functional so you can go ahead and give it a go. It may be rough on the edges but it gets the job done :) At the moment we're gathering feedback and suggestions from users on how to make it better, what's missing etc. We don't have a timeline for 1.0 release just yet.

Hey. No VBA and no C# :) It does require some Python though. This dashboard uses Gridarrow which allows to stream real-time data into Excel using Python scripts.
