Victoria metrics as well, they say based on similar structures used in clickhouse


I do see writing software like writing a book. I write it with the future reader in mind. It needs to be meant to be read.

I picture my colleagues or young engineers 20 years from now combing through my programs, learning the problem domain, learning the tradeoffs we made at the time and why it made sense.


Which means you need to throw out half of the initial version and rewrite it!


Absolutely! Prototypes are great


with that analogy, I'd say code is more like the annotations of the manuscript before the reader sees the final print of the book


If grafana supported numeric entry fields and buttons it could easily replace wonderware intouch etc.

Traditional scada systems have such brutal plotting abilities they are ripe for disruption


for sure. we're continuously adding capabilities to the Canvas panel to support SCADA-type and flowchart use cases.

https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/panels-visualization...

there's some initial movement towards "press Canvas element -> invoke HTTP api call":

we added streaming/websocket data sources a few major versions back.

i'm hoping to make something more standardized and pluggable like data sources.


I think OPC-UA uses http, and there are OPC-UA servers to talk to Just about every type of device, so maybe it is already possible.

I was looking at the canvas element to do an electrical single line diagram.


Victoria metrics and grafana is great. I only wish I could enter descriptions for the metrics to populate the description in the grafana metrics explorer which is traditionally done by Prometheus metric metadata “help” field.

Victoria metrics/ grafana is supplanting our industrial historian, which is admittedly not a best in class product - I am sure osi pi is better


Why not? Pipes and connections can leak? If all were installed at the same time the same way if one leaks likely others will too.


Perhaps Switching in the inverters of the EV will generate harmonics that are in the 540-1700khz AM range. Pulses of current in a wire between inverter and motor radiate fields which are then picked up by AM radio antenna. Because AM is amplitude modulation it is more susceptible to interference by a signal on the same frequency, whereas an FM station uses a band of frequencies to encode the information instead of the magnitude of a carrier. Guessing


There is some premium to be paid to choose when you get the electricity and when you decide it is a convenient time to shut down for maintenance.

If the alternative is having no lights and no industry operating the extra cost of dispatchable power pales in comparison to the losses due to blackouts.


They have gobs of hydro-electric power to start with!


Nobody wants to live in those places, we just complain that it is too expensive in San Francisco and Vancouver


The result is still available it appears to come from this page https://www.mapquest.com/travel/destinations/landmarks/place...
