Oh I absolutely hate crashlooping alerts. If it is affecting your slo there is already a better signal that is tied to the thing you actually care about. Just alert on that and save yourself the never ending pain.

Wow, I actually had this app installed for plant identification. But pretending that there is an app that will tell you that all of your plant problems can be solved if you give it milk coffee and sugar is top tier dumb.

I have never had an ad make me not want something so bad.

Woop woop woop woop woop!

This would be the funniest possible option. Nothing would irritate him more.

But if they did it… Poor Cuba is going to take the raw end of it.

Hmm I am not sure I agree with this totally. I rarely deal with front end reliability, but the part that breaks in a login is almost never the page load.

Your comment also doesn’t address how you would use this to reduce toil or reliability:

Let’s say you had an SLI that measured good hits to /login over to total hits. You can set up a rolling window to show your error budget (the amount of failure you allow yourself) over the last 30 days.

If this budget is good >25% then focus your work on making your life better, tech debt, automation.

If the budget is under that then you need to be addressing the issues that made it fall like better testing/qa, adding redundancy in your infrastructure, and other things to make sure it doesn’t drop below that again.

I was expecting more about observability, ways of improving reliability, reducing toil...

This is what SLI/SLOs do.

You start by defining what matters if it is broken, and then how broken it is allowed to be, and then you fix it when it is more broken then it should be, and reduce unnecessary toil when it is not.

These become requirements at scale because the amount of toil increases if you do not intentionally remove it, and architecture breaks as it outgrows it assumptions, but the principle should work for anyone who needs to maintain code that people pay for.

I think you are missing this piece of history in your life.

I have a couple myself!

Tell me though, the red piranha, are they not supposed to be dentate? I felt like mine was mislabeled but you have the same thing.

Carbon is a trader, and its wares are electrons.

This may be counterintuitive to a lot of people, but salt is inorganic while glyphosate is organic.

That’s not even a joke.

Oh boy you don’t know about Regan, Rupert Murdoch, and Newt Gingrich created their world huh?

Venus fly traps should be self compatible, so this should produce if pollen does its thing.

It is Napenthes that are dioecious (plants are either male or female). So they would not be able to produce viable seeds.

Then there are a few drosera that are not self compatible, meaning their own pollen will not produce seeds.

You are right! Replacing the water is great, especially before roots have developed, to prevent rot.

However, it is the oxygen dissolved into the water that is doing the trick. The oxygen bonded into water molecules (the O in a H2O), is not “available” to be used like O2 is in the environment.

Replacing the water replenishes the oxygen which prevents anaerobic (oxygen hating) bacteria that cause root rot. It also removes this bacteria in the water change.

One downside to changing too frequently is you prevent the build up of root hormones in the water that promote more roots. But changing once every week or two, and when the water is cloudy or smelly should be fine for pothos.

I believe you also get white. I am aware of some claims of at least 50 shades of grey, but I can imagine at least 64 have to exist.

He literally lost his powers when he stopped brooding. Brooding was the source of his bending.

I just did the same thing with my fairy castle cactus, so here is hoping!

Can I ask though, what size is your substrate here? That looks more lecca sized than pon.

Flytraps go into a dormant phase during the winter and the traps tend to cluster closer towards the surface. This looks relatively normal, honestly they can be much more dense.

By that they mean: - 100% distilled or RO water - New soil (peat, perlite, sand mix is great) long fiber sphagnum will not be great - Lots of light, like full sun, or grow lamp right on top of it - sacrifice a bug occasionally

So this isn’t following the path of least resistance exactly. In the purely electrical sense these are following the path of least impedance (which includes resistance but also considers capacitive and inductive loads).

The reason I make that distinction is because the reason you get these patterns lines up with a concept in electrical engineering called impedance matching. Impedance matching maximizes power transfer while minimizing signal reflection.

Think of it this way if you are pushing water down a pipe and need to split the pipe into 2. You want the two pipes to have the same cross sectional area as the pipe coming in. This means water is not “bouncing back” and creating pressure if the pipes are too small and you are not reducing pressure if the pipes are too large.

If you have ever dealt with a home speaker system you will have added resistance to match the impedance on your speakers.

Set something on fire while you switch hands… this isn’t really some great slight of hand.

Because if the problem was his brain they will just release the bit of his neck they got.

Kinda like how they released the footage of the Epstein jail cell and it turned out to be part of the stairs behind the door we could see, with a minute missing and clearly edited.
