Nice to see so many new projects in the area of APM in the last few months.

We recently tried Signoz and Grafana Tempo and while I can't say something about uptrace yet (will definitely try it out) I want to list some pros and cons about them.

Grafana Tempo

Pros:

- Easy and smooth integration into our existing Grafana instance, no additional frontend needed

- No new storage engine needed (No additional Clickhouse, Postgres, etc) as it saves its data to S3

- Supports OTLP

Cons:

- Search is limited by param size and unique params (as its baked to be indexed)

- Ingestion is not in real time, but configurable (time to finish span)

Signoz:

Pros:

- Supports OTLP

- Integrates Logs and Metrics within the same service (for Grafana you need Loki then)

- Supports real time querying

Cons:

- Uses new storage engines (or extends the software stack) with adding ClickHouse

- Adds an additional frontend (might not be relevant for everyone)

- Doesn't provide SSO yet, so you need to manage users differently

Interesting to see, that UpTrace also chose ClickHouse (btw I love ClickHouse!)

Some questions:

- Can I easily disable certain features? (e.g. alerting)

- Is there support for SSO for self-hosted installation?

- Are there any recommendations for scaling (e.g. benchmarks) on how many spans/s are supported on what hardware?

Thanks in advance!
You could just use GoatCounter <https://www.goatcounter.com/>; it's simple to deploy it yourself (it's open-source), but it's also free to use it hosted, and it seems to be quite privacy friendly (if one could call a web analytics solution as such).

If you are already using CloudFlare, they have a (free and) simple enough web analytics solution. (They say they are also privacy friendly, but given it's not open-source you can't check.)

As with static hosts that provide HTTP logs, perhaps they are, but certainly they won't be for free, as log shipping (from the edge where most hosted solutions cache things to the aggregator) and then storing those isn't quite that cheap...
ELI5: they are databases where writing costs a payment in that database’s token

people write to it

ELI16: they are public utility state machines that people pay to use, there are other metrics sites that show what people are willing to pay for. in many cases, the payments themselves make the token more scarce permanently, and anyone needing to make payments in the future has to buy it as a higher price from someone else. There is a lot of activity on the Ethereum network.

so despite the more familiarity with speculation, there are many users that acquire the cryptocurrencies as short term inventory when needed to perform state operations
In stores we have selfservice weighting scales for fruits and veggies that print the barcode. There's an option "with one-use bag/without bag" and the one-use bag option subtracts 2 grams.
The author's point of view seems to me quite condescending. Like being the janitor is considered less (and that, inevitably, everybody sees the janitor that way), so the author is trying to flip that view around (because he can, he is "not less").

Needless to say that being polite is out of the question here, and that I am sure that the author's intentions are not what I just commented, but I can't help to read it that way.

I would agree that "please" and "thank you" can take you far, however you don't just have to address them to the janitor, it's for everybody.

The worst thing about this is that it's even plausible. Accidents will happens. If you double the number of man-hours snipers spend with their fingers on the trigger, the number of people accidentally shot may be expected to double, too. And journalists will tend to be around the same places where the snipers snipe, right?

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Also: Live by the sword, kill innocents accidentally by the sword.

It calls for invective, really.
It isn't about this site in particular. These are people that make fun of others, there is no deeper "service" the platform provides, no particular insights to be gained. It is morally questionable endeavor to stay diplomatic and I hope users can learn to moderate themselves.

The real problem is that a pretext to remove a platform is very easily found. I am not convinced there was any immediate threat here and if so it could have been posted by anyone, even activists themselves. This would not be a precedent since this has happened numerous times already. Cloudflare now is part of the problem the same way companies that pay ransoms to phishers are.
It is an open source project, if you are really that embarrassed about the bugs you can look into submitting patches. Most likely if people have been using the program for 39 years, these bugs are not show-stoppers.
True.

But if my password, or any other credentials, were leaked because someone in a trusted environment was scraping deleted messages, then storing it unsecurely, i wouldn't be impressed.
People make these shows and I don’t think anyone wants to make a shitty show.

The issue is that this was a high dollar show and it likely had to have a lot of sign off. Unfortunately, great art and vast pre-approval don’t tend to go hand in hand.

I’m afraid we’re turning a corner in our golden age of television into a dark world of corporate overreach.
Unrelated to the echievent the article mentions. But I'm curious, how does emacs fare for modern C++ these days? Is it a good IDE?

It always struck me that an editor with the history it has, couldn't handle C++11 syntax in 2014. Or, I didn't want to try to figure out how.

To clarify, I include common packages as part of "out of the box". From a quick Google search, it does look like cc-lang might be catching up. And some other one-person packages.

So my question is, for those of you who work on long lived C++ projects, and on Linux, what IDE do you use? Are CLion and VSCode still the better choice?
I got the vaccine long before getting Covid (about a year before), and have had palpitations ("butterflies") since the vaccine.

Are the two related? No idea. But it illustrates the fallacy of relying on anecdote. For anything.

That said: we know that the vaccine causes myocarditis in younger men, and the rate is at least in 1 in 5000, and quite probably higher than that [1]. A recent study of Thai boys suggested a much higher rate, on the order of 1 in 100 [2]:

Much better than other maintainer's brags of closing bugs, which usually just require creating a bot to auto-close them, instead of actually solving them.
> Im this case we have a well- organized group of people determined to hate on a show because it offends their racial purity ideals.

Yeah, but looking around it looks like there's also LotR fans who are offended because they feels it shits on Lord of the Rings. Maybe not the best motivation to slam the series with 1/10's either, but certainly less bad.

And then there are others who just think it's poorly executed in general. Seems to be a mix of things.

Even a flat piece of foam will generate lift [1]. The only requirement per se is that the trailing edge of the wing is somewhat sharp. A more optimized shape would allow the plane to fly at a lower angle of attack and would reduce drag, but drag isn’t exactly your problem if your thrust to weight ratio is 2:1.

How can you "know much about PAM", though, other than getting very familiar with source code of PAM, the PAM modules and poorly-documented distro conventions? As the article mention, documentation is scarce, and I cannot agree more.

The article is at least showing how bad the situation is. I am rather familiar with various other aspects of Linux system administration, but PAM is a dark corner to me.
Cloud-Based Smart Home Gadgets Keep Getting Bricked
But not mentioning the actor is what irked the commenters above me. The construction, on the other hand, doesn't matter. It can be done just as easily in an SVO sentence with a "real" agent: "Commenters raised concerns about ...". There, no information about the actor at all.

But people like to add some technical detail to their argument, such as stating that the sentence is written in the passive voice, as if that proves their point. Strunk and White (and the countless people that mindlessly copied them) have made the passive voice the perfect candidate for this, to the point where it becomes an accusation, and any accusation of hiding agency is simply called "passive voice."

But the analysis that the actor is missing is also shallow. In scientific communication, the actor often doesn't matter. It's the why, the how, the what a paper need to answer, not the who. The authors take responsibility for the (unconfirmed) fault. In that sense, there's little to critique about the passage, whereas the commenter makes it sound like a cover-up. If (s)he wants to know whose concerns they were, just say so, and state the reason, but don't hide it behind a (wrong) technicality. That just makes it look like the pot calling the kettle black.

Is it? In Germany, a double income household can also pay about 2100 EUR per month for public health insurance (if both partners earn at least 85k). Many people have additional insurances for dental and possibly other things that are not covered.

>>Dense cities don't really matter that much, as each human requires a similar amount of arable land to grow the food they need each year.

People use much less resources per unit of quality of life when they live in dense cities. Density provides massively more productivity with a given amount of natural resource consumption.
At this point the company that bought the company that bought Ensoniq is gone, so it's hard to imagine who would come looking for 12kB worth of 6809 assembly code.
All big programs have bugs, it has over 3000 because people actually use it and it has a healthy community that can report them. 3000 bugs reported is value.
* Security updates for way longer than the vendor would provide them.

* Privacy (lots of stock firmwares phone home). With OpenWrt your hardware is _yours_.

* When you do have to interact with the router, you don't die from its terrible UI (in fact, OpenWrt has a great one).
Little bit related: When I come into a company as CTO, and there are too many bugs, I just close all bugs older than 6 months. Usually that's more than 10% (and the org wasn't capable or willing to fix them). Hasn't created any problems yet, but everyone feels better immediately (and we implement ways to not reach high bug levels again).
Vim is still very popular for c++.
Yes, but it definitely depends on the model I'm putting into the database.

Specifically I hadn't thought through an Order model and the OrderLines ended up being dependent directly on the product meaning through an FK. The orders wouldn't "settle" once they had been completed, since the product could be updated and change the values of the orderline and order. Dumb dumb. It was one of the cases where denormalizing data, very much, makes sense
>You can always rewrite software. Rewriting bad data is not only difficult but often impossible.

Isn't that an argument against FKs? It's easier to rewrite the software to handle FKs than to deal with trying to setup FKs with bad data since it's difficult to fix.

Besides what other commenters mentioned, Emacs is basically a mini operating system including, besides a text editor, terminal and shell, file manager, diff and merge tool, calculator, mail/news/RSS reader, calendar, diary, IRC client, debugger, sophisticated help system, and others.
Another easy way to replicate this:

* duplicate your photo layer

* apply a Gaussian blur to the duplicate (5-10px, depending on total resolution)

* set the blend mode of the duplicate layer to "overlay"

* fiddle with the opacity to reduce the strength of the effect
What is the implication of having a more global audience? In today's interconnected world we all watch the same tv shows and movies, would you expect a person in Europe to have lower standards for watching a series than a person in the US?
The most powerful engine I'm aware of is the JetCat P100 Pro - over 1 kN of thrust or enough power to lift off 111kg off the ground [1].

Wh... why?
>True. That could have been a 2 hour movie or at most two episodes.

It was: check out the fan edits. So far, my favorite is the Maple Films Edit. It's about 4 hours long and it's pretty great. It cuts most of the crap and leaves all the good stuff in.

>Galadriel in the Amazon show, on the other hand, just doesn't feel like the book or the movie Galadriel so it's a bit jarring.

Galadriel here is thousands of years younger than the version you saw in Jackson's movies or the LotR books. Presumably she's matured.
I find it ridiculous to refer to "source material" as if it was gospel. Amazon owns the rights for this tv show, and therefore anything they make is new source material.

Just like how in the Marvel cinematic universe Spiderman's MJ is mixed race and not a redhead, Thanos in the comics doesn't care about halving the universe's population, he wants to kill as many as he can to court the embodiment of Death, or most of the Eternals are gender and race swapped from their comic versions.

Elves are now closer to humans, and they can be black, but the old material with white, tall, long haired elves is still there for you to enjoy... is it really a big deal?
Note that the canon is somewhat fluid: Tolkien changed his mind on various things (off-hand, I can think of the creation of the orcs, when the wizards first arrived in middle-earth and what exactly Balrogs look like).
They are now using a 15 minute delay to avoid outside communication. Jamming signals is also entirely possible.
This had me wondering when GitHub Pages was actually introduced; earliest sign I can find is a blog post [0] from December 2008, so that's almost 14 years ago.

Calling a review a "bomb" is just a rhetorical trick for invalidating somebody else's opinion.

By all means, remove bot posts. But A slew of negative reviews from real people is not that.
Wow, this looks actually great then!
Just pay euthanasia doctors, they don't seem to mind killing healthy people.
The 15 minute delay was introduced after the Magnus game.
It's from a line that ultimately wasn't entered into in the game, but Hans mentioned to Alireza in the postgame. So it's a position that Hans should have considered during the game. He claims it's obviuosly winning for white. It isn't, and Hikaru is ~immediately able to see that the position is (significantly) losing for white.

Actually why not? We have a lot of "just to evoke emotions" social media platforms out there.
I highly doubt SD can generate a nude image of an actual famous person unless it is specifically asked to do that.

Even then, if you are showing DrawAnything to your famous friend and concerned about this, why would you choose to use your friend's name in the demo prompt?

Not the Workbench 1.3 we got with my family’s Amiga 2000, it used outlines:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4iR1RcdJTY&t=70s

I’m checking now and 2.0 also used outlines.

The 3.0 or 3.1 in the Amiga 1200 I got years later might have had that as an option in the Preferences, but I’m not sure. It used outlines by default in any case:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOOYSAHQURU&t=3490s

The rest of your post is, AFAIK, entirely correct.

I did see RiscOS at the time at an Amiga Party when the Acorn distributor in Spain was showing the RiscPC, and was amazed by it. I considered selling my 030/50+FPU accelerated A1200 and get a RiscPC but ended up not doing it. To this day I’m not sure that was the right call, the RiscPC did not have an FPU but otherwise it was much more adequate for the kind of applications I wanted to build.
This is false. If there's a longer mate where every move from your opponent is forced (that is, only one more is legal or doesn't immediately lose) a human player will play that, as opposed to a shorter mate, in say 5 moves, where you have all sorts of different cases to calculate depending on what your opponent plays.
I recently witnessed a customer treating a food server at a small Chinese restaurant quite badly. It was a very upsetting because she is such a sweet woman who really takes her job seriously.

Next time she was at our table I commented to her that people who treat her like garbage are simply showing their inner self, which is in fact garbage.

Indeed you can learn a lot about a person by how they treat people who are in their service.
I don't want to install an native app for every restaurants that I visit every 3 month. I want to use PWA instead.
Lossless to all practical purposes, then. With 16 bits of amplitude quantisation the smallest bit is below the noise floor of all but the quietest possible amplification, and while 44.1kHz isn't a lot it still places the corner frequency of your antialiasing filter comfortably above human hearing.

It's got way more audio bandwidth than most of the analogue masters that everyone raves about.

No, there's nothing magically audible happening with phase shifts near the steep cutoff of the antialiasing filter that isn't happening with the gentle rolloff of tape, either. Not that you could hear anyway, and even though my hearing is better than most 48-year-old industrial music enthusiasts, not that I could hear either.

For cats, even your very best equipment with perfect reproduction sounds like AM radio because their hearing tops out at 80kHz.
Holography stores phase, I guess.

[the author here] Indeed I mention Cloudflare quite a lot, and that is for two reasons:

(A) If you do want to have a performant website (be it static or dynamic) you do need a CDN with edge caching; else the physics with it's insistence on a cap for the light speed will put a minimum theoretical latency of 25ms say between Bucharest and Toronto, which in practical terms translates towards at least 100ms one way, or 300ms just to establish a TCP connection, and around 500 for a complete TLS handshake... And no amount of bandwidth can solve that.

(B) Cloudflare is the only free choice that allows you to use your own domain and that doesn't impose any (published) limits on your usage. If you know of other CDN providers that give you this for free please let me know and I'll add their link to the article.
We are talking about the Firouzja game.
>Clunky got prequels

House of the Dragon has surprisingly been great, sure you have the random teleporting character or out of character military tactic but it also shows HBO learned from their mistake and you can feel they brought back the politics and meetings and focus on characters instead of fan service and whatever made the last 4 got seasons the garbage they turned into.

But again you have to have read GRRM's work and not be a contrarian just for the sake of it to enjoy it.

Rings of power had a budget of a billion $, either there is some money laundering scheme at work that I'm unaware of, or people have just forgotten how to hire good writers and other people to make a decent movie/series.

If you gave me a billion $ today I'd just hire Peter Jackson, pay him a shit ton of money so he accepts, and give him FULL creative power over the project so it doesn't turn out like The Hobbit trilogy or That Raimi directed Dr Strange in the multiverse of madness. And if he refuses to do it then find another good director and I'm sure there are a lot of big names who would gladly accept the challenge of topping Jackson's work.

A billion $ is A LOT of money in cinema, despite you having to pay the movie theaters, marketing, etc. Amazon owns imdb so can market it themselves on 2 of the most visited websites in the world: Amazon and imdb (for movie/series watchers), and if that's not enough, they own the streaming service where they plan to put it.

People aren't saying it sucks (at least I'm not) but that it had no reason to not be great. Galadriel felt inhuman in Jackson's movies, she's supposed to be one of the fairest and mightiest elves in middle earth, I doubt she felt like that to anyone in rop.

Now after all this rant: I didn't watch rings of power, and I don't plan to, why soil a good memory and good mental mythos I have of that world? I made that mistake with the witcher, I had built up the characters in my head from the books and later the videogames, then Netflix took a huge dump on this mental model, and now whenever I think about some character (outside of Cavill and a few others who did great work) I also get the image of the new one in my head: I hope this weird rambling makes sense.
>I haven't had COVID at this point, and information like this helps me understand how much I should be trying to continue this conservative lifestyle that's let me avoid it thus far.

Is it your conservative lifestyle? I haven't been taking any precautions and i haven't had covid yet either.

VSCode is nice, but on Windows I still prefer Visual Studio.

Probably not. More likely US LNG that China was "forced" to buy through Trump trade war.
One forgotten hurdle of static site hosting is in-memory caching.
At most http-server default setup each request goes down to the filesystem.
Mostly your are lucky and your filesystem itself has some kind of caching mechanism, so you won't notice.
But if your static site ends up in a "very high requests" situation, you should think about in-memory caching of your static files.
> the org wasn't capable or willing to fix them

Probably this. Can't fix everything, and the bugs piling up demoralizes many engineers. Six months is a bit low, I'd go higher, but there's no point having a bug on your board that you're not realistically actually going to fix.
