Instrumentation of a given system is by definition always "larger" than the nominal traffic which flows through that system. That is, given some request R, the possible observable metadata of that request R is essentially infinite. So when you're designing an observability system, the whole ball game is about capturing and constraining the cardinality of that metadata. Observability as a field is _entirely_ about reducing the volume of telemetry data such that it can be usefully captured, aggregated, and queried by operators. That's why we have metrics, traces, and logs as distinct things. They're all optimizations of the same underlying information, each optimized for different consumer use cases.

Concretely: if user U1 does an HTTP GET to /spotify/track/123, that's perhaps 10KB of production traffic, but easily 10MB of telemetry traffic. In effect that telemetry can be modeled as a huge key/val map of metadata, but you can't do it that way and remain efficient, you have to optimize for observability use cases. You have to increment a cardinality-bound set of metric counters for the request outcomes, and maybe emit some best-effort trace data for the request ID, and etc. etc. — _as separate things_!

The engineering costs dominate the design. But OpenTelemetry says this isn't the case. OpenTelemetry says that whatever requirements are on FX00 company CTO feature checklists are valid a priori, and commits to doing whatever is necessary to satisfy them. That's because OpenTelemetry is evaluated not on any technical merits, but on the adoption rate of the CNCF stack among those FX00 companies.

OpenTelemetry is explicitly and exclusively a thing meant to tick off an "observability" checklist item on the checklist of a FX00 CTO's due diligence form. That's it. That's the only goal. Nobody with a choice should be using it. Read the source code, it's abysmal.

Alternatives? Write code that leverages each pillar of observability directly. There's no short-cut. That's the whole point.
Why do you keep a spying agent in your home for so little value?
I had one TSR that let you allocate RAM and switch between up to 3 programs. Of course, they had to be small programs due to the 640KB limit. But it was still quite useful in the days before hard drives, to be able to have a couple of utilities (like a text editor) loaded without having to keep swapping floppy disks.

Also wrote a couple of TSRs of my own as a kid learning to program. Sure you could crash the system, as you could with any program, but they were as reliable as anything else.

The only thing special was that you generally didn't want to run two TSRs that naively hooked the same interrupt without chaining properly. But back then we didn't have thousands of mysterious background processes always running in the background. You knew what few programs you had run, so it wasn't really a problem.
> If you're going to make a big functionality change or addition that will take a while, that's a great time to significantly refactor the existing code

and so here comes the trade-off question: what if such a change could be made faster/with fewer people or resources, but at the cost of not doing the refactoring?

> Airway inflammation and emphysema were more common in marijuana smokers than in nonsmokers and tobacco-only smokers, although variable interobserver agreement and concomitant cigarette smoking among the marijuana-smoking cohort limits our ability to draw strong conclusions.

so the marijuana smokers may have also been tobacco smokers limiting the ability to draw strong conclusions? am i reading that right?

Copilot had 400k paying customers within it's first month [1]. I'm not a fan of mass generalization about large cohorts of people. Will everyone use a tool? Of course not. You just need dedicated early adopters that see the value add.

If you're going to port it to a different architecture, do arm64 or risc-v. Don't waste your time learning about the quirks of a processor lineage which has compatibility with features meant to solve problems from the 70s, like segmentation for example.

If you do want to do x86_64, off the top of my head by rough order where you will encounter things:

0. bootstrapping the kernel either gets more complicated or easier based on whether you start in 32 bit mode or 64 bit mode with UEFI. Just start from UEFI and save yourself the headache.

1. The gdt (segmentation table) format changes

2. The tss (another segmentation table) format changes

3. The idt (interrupt table) format changes

4. The ABI (application binary interface, calling convention mostly) changes, leading to a ton of subtle changes to the asm, much deeper than just the register width

5. The page table format changes.

6. Modern processors kick off sibling cores slightly differently. That's not really a 32->64 bit thing but is good to keep in mind.

7. I didn't look to see how they implement their syscall path, but you want to have your kernel ABI be the sysenter instruction, and not say int 0x80. It will simplify your life
Will physics prevent SpinLaunch from succeeding?
photosynthesis is about 3% efficient

the most popular solar panels are about 21% efficient

solar panels don't require maintenance, though efficiency drops if they get dusty

trees commonly require a lot of maintenance, i guess you don't know any gardeners; most afforestation and reforestation projects totally fail because they neglect this

but the biggest issue is that trees generally don't desalinate seawater

mangroves sort of do, but their output is water vapor, and generally growing mangroves in ocean water decreases evaporation from that ocean water rather than increasing it

in summary, how pv-powered desalination compares to just planting trees is that pv-powered desalination produces fresh water and planting trees doesn't
The only shady thing that I recall is that they quietly added telemetry into Atom after they took over maintenance of it, without communicating this to Atom users.
I found copilot to be less useful than autocomplete. Typical autocomplete suggests things that actually exist and work in the codebase. While Copilot would suggest things that look superficially like names that exist or ways I might have named it, but very often just wrong.

I find typed languages like Rust or Typescript make VS Code super powered and provides much more value than copilot.
I think copilot works very well.

But I did find that I need to turn it off at certain stages when learning (or re-learning) a programming language. It's seemed counterproductive until you have a good grasp on the basic syntax of the language. But the "showing you new APIs" does seem to be a thing that actually helps.

In general, you should not be accepting code completions that you don't understand. I'm usually stricter, in that I only typically accept completions that line up with what I was planning to type anyway.
Asking someone to prove a negative is a terrible way to argue.

> We are still stuck in the status quo as far as global warming is concerned.

1) No, we are not. Rich nations have been systematically reducing their carbon emissions (per capita and per GDP, and in some cases even in absolute numbers)

2) Most of the pollution comes from developing countries, and unless you want to halt any economic development in the global south, they will first need to become wealthy and then focus on carbon emissions.

3) None of what I said above relates to Musk. It seems like the action that you can see as virtuous would be if gave away his money to some "cause" (which?) that would help (how?) to fight climate change.

> Then we're just talking past each other.

Possibly. But that doesn't exclude the possibility that your argument is nothing more than a bad rationalization to justify the Musk hate.
Not saying you’re wrong, but I also see these in Singapore, which is one of the safest countries in the world (I’m guessing they must be left over from the 60s when things were more chaotic?)
Debian packages are also built from source, but their model for building and distributing packages has a different ontology, it considers different kinds of resources than Nix does.

> If apt could compile all its packages from source with an option to do so and a cache, it would be as reproducible.

This is simply wrong. There are many source-based package managers besides Nix: Portage, Sorcery, Pkgsrc, Ravenports, MacPorts, FreeBSD Ports, etc. Some of them, like Homebrew for example, even support binary caching. None of them have the same kind of reproducibility guarantees as Nix offers, except for Guix.

The counterfactual about apt doesn't even really make sense, as using its own special source archive format, having binary repos, and performing install time dependency resolution based on version constraints are all pretty essential to what makes it apt. But even so, the mere fact that it installs to global, shared locations, e.g., under `/usr`, means that there are circumstances where you can't guarantee that a package will always load the same libraries it was built against, namely in the case of transitive dependencies which had different versions at build time.

> they are never going to succeed with a website like this.

How do you define success? BRK beat the S&P 500 returns for a few decades. They are one of the largest companies on planet earth(top 10), and their net income after all expenses is approaching $100B USD a year.

They own well known public companies like Dairy Queen, Duracell, BNSF Railroad, Geico Insurance, etc.

They seem pretty successful to me.
What about on-prem office?
It says only that eye contact commands attention, not that everyone likes it or has the same reaction or exhibits their reaction in the same way.

If someone does not like eye contact, that is still an example of attention.

Too much telemetry is more a problem that not enough in my recent experience. I am 100% sure the line I need to find out what happened is there in kibana but every extra filter term to make a trillion lines of log output down to a specific time and sequence, adds a risk of filtering out exactly what I want.
> Reporters just ran puff pieces. But they didn't defraud anybody.

And they running puff pieces after the scam was uncovered. And they're trying, after having presented SBF as a genius, to now make believe people that it's only leveraged trades (to the tune of tens of billions of dollars) with customers fraud gone wrong.

Why is anyone still reading the garbage coming out of these papers that aren't even suitable as toilet paper is beyond me.

Meanwhile there are people out there who exposed the Alameda Research ponzi before FTX was even created. It was the same ponzi as the Bitconnect ponzi: say you notice crazy arbitrage [1] and promise insane returns "guaranteed zero risks".

Insane returns promises have a name: scam. Giving the insane returns to the early investors while keeping the scam going as another name: ponzi.

And this was all explained years before the ponzi was exposed.

And in addition to that US congressmen and senators are accusing SBF and ex-officials and officials to be working hand in hand to allow FTX regulatory capture of the crypto exchange market...

And you dare tell us that the journalists trying to sell the "leverage trades with customers money gone wrong" are still... Journalists engaged in run-of-the-mil journalism?

Despite all the donation SBF made to these publication?

Please.

I mean: the only other explanation is that these journalists are so incompetent they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a keyboard. They should be flipping burgers and even then I wouldn't want to eat the poison they'd be serving.
Just because you feel undignified, or humiliated, or useless, does not mean that you are. Don't swallow the lies.
I'd go so far as to say if your test is doing something crafty, you're doing tests wrong. Maybe in a mock or fixture, but that's a write-once sort of affair.

I also don't apply DRY (don't repeat yourself) to tests. Tests should be independently readable beginning to end, no context needed. After all, the true value of a unit test is to take a block of code too complicated to easily fit in your mind, and break it down into a series of examples simple enough to fit.
> For limited definitions of 'preserves' if you aren't a paying user.

What do you mean by this? I don't pay for Discord and I have never had any issues scrolling as far back as I want to.

> Not really, you can't tell who pinged you half the time (and this is a common complaint from most everyone in a discord server with 70+K members.)

Personally I have notifications disabled so I can't comment on that, but both the web client and the Android app have a specific view to list all past pings or replies.

> Limited ones unless you get a bot to add in granularity (such as duration of moderation action.) I can think of a few HTTP chat sites from the late 90s that had better moderation for all users (and a reverse-ignore feature, which seems to have just disappeared from everyone's collective memory.)

While limited, they are there by default and pretty convenient. And they're getting better.
I can see government offices, but why schools? The ease of access and productivity hit wouldn't outweigh the benefits imho.
Maybe it has improved in the last 3 years, but that certainly was not the case when I tried it for my company. Fist, it was self-hosted, which adds monitoring, security, and tech support. Second, its concurrent document editing was absolute shite.
Similar - I lived in a condo and the house behind us applied for a zoning exception. Minimum 1 week short-term rental exception. We didn’t oppose, it seemed reasonable. All was well, until this summer.

A college fraternity rented the house via AirBnB for two months. Parties every night waking us up constantly. They somehow knocked down a 100’ length of fence between our property and theirs. Left trash on the street, ravaged by racoons - I was still picking up old mini bottles up until we sold last month.

I tried being neighborly and politely asking them to respect the neighborhood… they drunkenly tried to fight me. I tried engaging zoning, nothing could be done. I tried engaging AirBnB support - they promised to send off to the owner to inform them. Weeks went by, nothing. Problems night on night affecting multiple condo buildings.

I, finally, decided to engage in clandestine activities which caused them to abate their outside ragers.

Finally, the week after they paid their last payment the host terminated their stay - I know because I could hear them screaming at the host on speaker-phone: “Well I’m sOrRy on pissed on your own!”

I now understand that the owners have some strong financial incentives to ignore shitbags… never again will I tolerate AirBNB zoning requests.
And the Apple GPU kernel driver is written in Rust, so it kinda proves that concept as a side effect!
In many instances owning an expensive house is just a matter of time and location. My parents have a $2M home in NYC. They struggled to buy it for $30k in 1980.
in a diverse society like the USA, we have too many things that we disagree upon. In a homogeneous society like Japan, we don't. Hence we can trust the government more.

Yes, I want my government to test food quality, to inspect the kitchen. But I don't want my government to bailout petty thefts, to give stimulus checks, to hail criminals as saviors (BLM), to require me to pronounce different genders, etc.

It is a dog whistle. I meant to say that.

I think this is a rather naive perspective. I’ve worked in national security jobs, and the idea that services from foreign companies should not be allowed is a completely infeasible dream.

Since it is about public institutions, any public servant disobeying will be disciplined. That can include strongly worded letters, demotions or even firing. For public institutions spending money on (for them) illegal goods, activities or licenses is not possible, which means that any receipt they hand in for that won't ever get reimbursed. Which also means they wouldn't get the goods in the first place, because the business selling them knows they will get stiffed.

Indeed it is. Unfortunately, I am not a globalist. I used to be, used to be gung-ho about diversity and multiculturalism. Not so much anymore, began to see the cost it brings.

We don't need diversity to have modern 1st world comfort. See Japan.

I like my homogeneity.
"If you want to know how Australian Aboriginal peoples lived .." is a bit daft (I know you're quoting so I'm not attributing that daftness to you). Australia is a continent with a wide range of ecologies and climatic zones (we're not all hot dry desert!). There were some 500 odd indigenous language groups, living quite differently, despite having some level of continent-wide awareness (via trade routes and songlines). And they certainly underwent changes over those 40,000 years.

Amazing story just the same.

I observed one guy become very resistant to reading the docs as they believed copilot obsoleted them. Programming in Ruby, the copilot suggestions will run but since you didn't read the docs you won't know that the output doesn't actually work or doesn't do what you think it does since it was intended for a different situation.
