Well let me respond, since maybe I'm one of those guys.

You've fundamentally misunderstood what I want. If a "writer" wrote it as part of their job, I don't want to read it. I mean, I might, but that's not what I would be "whining" about here.

I've kept blogs most of my life. I'm after similar content to what I would post.

I don't care to read whatever you want to get paid to write. No offense, I'm sure it's great and worth all the money.

The quality experience is enjoying other people's gardens, and the point of having the garden is to share it with other people, not to have a ticket booth or a billboard. At least, that's the case at my blog. Which I've never shared here, and nobody else ever has either. Which I find totally fine.

What I think can improve the situation is "curation", particularly manual, effort-intensive, thoughtful and reasonably timely curation by a person or people with good taste. That's asking a lot, with many subjective variables, but it's what keeps bringing me back to Hacker News, the consistently high signal-to-noise ratio.
Sentry is strictly code-first APM, which is only a part of what DD provides. What "APM" _is_ can get kind of blurry, but they are not direct competitors in a meaningful way.
That's a strange summation of the article.

The matter of AI hallucination, where she correctly pointed out the generous granting of a mind to LLMs implied in the use of the word "hallucination", was obviously a rhetorical device to lead into the 'state of mind' of the AI company CEOs.

The article examined each of claimed benefits of AI and considered each as being a reasonable expectation, or a "hallucination" of AI CEOs. Not limited to criticism, OP also highlighted the availability (and recent precedent) and effectiveness of policy and legal tools to address the acts of "theft" by AI companies, as well as insuring that the "10%" chance of extinction is not left to the choices and decisions of SV CEOs.
Someone else in the thread mentioned that this is roughly how Spotify works, too -- take a pool of revenue, and distribute it based on how many streams an artist got.

One way or another, it's clear that there are existing, practical models for distributing revenue in this way. Seems like TV / streaming video is just behind the times.
This is a nice feature at the minute-resolution level. I think something at the second-resolution level would be helpful too. For example, I have a cronjob on my Raspberry Pi at home that runs every minute and does a simple check-in with Heii On-Call so I get alerted if there's a FIOS outage or the pi breaks. I ended up writing a little bash script like this:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

HEIIONCALL_API_KEY="redacted_api_key_goes_here"
HEIIONCALL_TRIGGER_ID="redacted_trigger_id_goes_here"

AUTHORIZATION_HEADER="Authorization: Bearer ${HEIIONCALL_API_KEY}"
CHECKIN_URL="https://api.heiioncall.com./triggers/${HEIIONCALL_TRIGGER_ID}/checkin"

if [ "$1" != "--now" ]; then
RANDOM_SLEEP=$[ ( $RANDOM % 55 ) + 1 ]
echo "Sleeping ${RANDOM_SLEEP} seconds before checkin..."
sleep ${RANDOM_SLEEP}s
fi

echo "Checking in..."
exec curl \
-X POST \
--retry 5 --retry-connrefused --retry-max-time 15 --retry-delay 1 \
-H "${AUTHORIZATION_HEADER}" \
"${CHECKIN_URL}"

This script ~/bin/heiioncall-checkin.sh gets called by crond every minute at exactly :00 seconds, so my expected maximum timeout between check-ins is approximately 120 seconds. And I can skip the sleep with "--now" flag for testing. But I'd much rather have this random offset behavior be something optionally built-in to cron, I suppose.
Thanks.

I think there are a number of platforms for building workflows and integrations today. Some of the platforms serving specific niche (e.g. RudderStack chose to serve CDP, airplane for building internal dev tools). But in the end all of them act on a trigger to transform inbound event data and send it to a destination end point.

Windmill looks cool with support for multiple languages, no-code editor and all the OOTB integrations.

cptn is still evolving - it needs to have more integrations, UX flows need to be improved, it has to get better from Ops perspective.

Thanks for your patience! It has been a long road with some dead ends (we've wanted to add this since 2012 at least). We actually wrote about why we didn't just use grep in our last blog post: https://github.blog/2023-02-06-the-technology-behind-githubs...
is this a sort of heroku? this gives me pause because i am dubious about building on a platform's PaaS as it is now I have this as an option but they (AWS, GCP, etc) are likely to be around, but you're just you.

So is this something we can self host or... is there a hostable solution you want to push folks to?
The way Super Street Fighter II has a mix of methodologies seems to count against that. Why only run this optimiser on the new art?

I could see artists might still use a grid when sketching and planning to keep a handle on sprite size / memory usage. But not in the hand packed sort of way, more just each sprite drawn unscrambled on a grid. You wouldn't go through all the rigmarole of hand optimising memory layouts if some stage in the build system is going to ignore it and do its own thing instead.

Nearly 112 Fahrenheit. It gets that hot sometimes in Fresno, California and then they open cooling stations so homeless people and other poor people don't die and you could take the bus for free if you were heading to a cooling station.

I never went to one. I stuck to shady microclimates and added Gatorade to my diet on such days.

If you are in that kind of heat, you need not just fluid but also electrolytes.

Also: Let me plug passive solar design. Even when it's hot like that outside, it doesn't have to be that hot indoors.

You just have to design it better.
How does Datadog compare against Azure Application Insights?
I understand the argument, but it seems large companies are seldom, or never, overtaken by others. They entrench themselves by regulatory capture, advantages of economy os scale, and survive virtually indefinitely even in shrinking markets

If we don't count "missing the boat" (as happened regarding search/mobile/social media), which arguably happens because of disruption from the newcomers and not mismanagement/underperformance at the oldtimers, what large companies have failed in the last 20 years?

Core to this point is that mega companies are only at threat from disruption, and it doesn't matter whether they're private or state owned for that

(I am of course ignoring companies that go under from criminal, as in corruption, mismanagement. I guess those are much more prevalent between the state-owned, for obvious reasons)

Boycott price-gouging companies who are testing market elasticity, especially those selling perishable goods. Support competitors where they exist.

Why is that obvious? That was exactly my question.

I don't have a problem with vendors doing this. I prefer standards but since one side of the cable is a standard I think it is fine. Implementing ports cost money . Developing for Apple customers costs money. One can choose their market based on costs.

I understand the lightening standard show it's age and is in need of an upgrade. Why the EU is involved in the decision making process is lost to me.
We had to use otel with Datadog because Datadog did not support Elixir with an official SDK.

There are a lot of subtle issues, but we've been able to work through them to get usable traces. (Metrics and log ingestion already have pretty good existing open-source tooling, like statsd).

I know, I enjoy CL quite a bit. I actually currently have REPLs running for a few services, because I like managing them from the inside. But while you can, if you want, deploy major changes by redefining a bunch of stuff on production servers without version control or backups, you...should not.

It's really nice to be able to redefine classes while you're playing around- but CL's handling of class redefinition just isn't up to snuff on a production server. It's just like doing live changes to your schema, only you see, rather more so. Compared to scp->shutdown->mv->start, if you can possibly tolerate <10s of downtime, or the many existing solutions for gradual rollout if you can't, it just doesn't make sense.

If you had to pick between having REPL access in production and REPL access locally, would it be close? Because I value being able to mess around with a REPL while developing thousands of times as much as I like a neat toy in production. And that ability is exactly what Python or Ruby or Erlang give you. Technically lacking compared to the full suite? Perhaps. But we're talking 0.999, not 0.5.

This has been my experience. I've seen more than once management teams happier with numbers and estimates that weren't met than actually getting software out quicker at an unanticipated rate.

They'd rather have estimates that they could yell about than revenue generating software through (presumably) happy customers. <shrug>
Now, I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice, but...

A derivative work is not fair use. If you end up with a significant portion of another person's program in yours, (such that a substantial portion of your program is in some way related to their program), that will likely be a derivative work - but the definition of a derivative work depends on your jurisdiction and use-case. If you're unlawfully using the source material to produce a derivative work, you cannot copyright that derivative work under 17 U.S.C. § 103(a), and under the same section, you can only copyright your modifications, not the original.

It would be hard to argue fair use in this case; fair use only really applies for parodies/criticism, reporting, and scholarly works - and generally that's an affirmative defense, rather than an express or implied right you have.

Honestly, Copilot is difficult because Copilot can't be the author of the code; the person who used Copilot is the "author" of the code, and I think they'd be the ones liable for copyright infringement if copyrighted content ends up in their code.

To argue someone performed copyright infringement, all you need is to prove (1) a valid copyright exists; (2) that the person had access to the work; (3) the person had the opportunity to steal the work; and (4) that protected elements of the work had been copied (afaik generally under a "substantially similar" standard). Copilot offers an easy way to check both (2) and (3) - a copyright holder could argue that people had access to their code through Copilot, and that Copilot offered an opportunity to steal the work.

I have started invoicing companies for wasting my time and also threatening them with CAN-SPAM complaints for failing to include an opt-out, an actual mailing address, etc.

Then, when my invoice isn’t paid, I threaten collections on them personally and the company. Usually that solves it. Then I’m “such a dick” but highly effective in recovering my time.

One caveat about about embedding based retrieval is that there is no guarantee that the embedded documents will look like the query.

One trick is to have a LLM hallucinate a document based on the query, and then embed that hallucinated document. Unfortunately this increases the latency since it incurs another round trip to the LLM.

Datadog costs more to monitor your AWS t3.medium instance than the actual instance.

I asked them how them can justify that.

They recommended I use "modern infrastructure" which means Docker.
imo the correct answer is this stuff is incredibly complicated and in incredible flux due to revolutionary advances in genetic research on our prehistoric ancestors and present day people. There's a lot of different perspectives but anyone with some humility would admit a new finding could be announced tomorrow that would upend quite a lot of what we think we know. Already e.g. Naledi, Denisovans, Floresiensis, Longi, Oase, etc are pretty mind-blowing to the consensus views 20 years ago. I would pay less attention to the labels used and more on the broader research.
> Datadog prices are out of this world.

I was never sure of what exactly Datadog did, so I looked at their pricing. At first, I thought "$23/month/host isn't THAT bad...", then notice that was only for one product.

If you used their full suite, those costs could REALLY add up.

> if people didn't have excess cash then companies wouldn't have excess profits from raising prices

This is a flawed view of the situation. Just because people are spending more doesn't mean that they are doing so willfully or at the cost of their quality of life (stress, reduced savings, etc.)

When it comes to things like housing and food people have no choice but to accept the increased prices.
It is self-hostable today. Just clone the repository, update the .env file and run "docker compose up" to get the instance running.
You are of course correct, but at the same time, you might (or probably not) be surprised at the number of "system administrators" that are thrown into the job without really having the capability to expand too far on their knowledge. Having the option in cron may help those administrators that specifically search Google for cron usage, and never come across flock.

EDIT: In addition, the Task Scheduler in Windows has this type of option, so it may help those sys admins coming from that environment, leveraging their existing knowledge
What amazes me about NeXTStep is that you could actually run that desktop, running Display PostScript, in grayscale, admittedly, but with the full motion window dragging and everything else, on that display, with 8MB of RAM. Oh, and on a 25MHz '040.

Oh, yes, it was tight. But it was eminently usable (including Project and Interface Builder) with 20MB of RAM.

Heck, I think XClock is challenged to run in 20MB today.

It's a meaningful measurement of how pleasant it is to work in that building, but it's a bit of a silly detail to sneak in to an article that's primarily about climate change, because things like the building construction, the density, the activities, etc. all impact the temperature far more. How far is this off of normal temperatures? What's the outside temperature? Was the previous record also taken inside? Have to go look outside the article for all of that, and yet it's the headline.

edit: sometimes climate science journalism feels like an exercise in trying to hand strawman arguments to deniers, which doesn't help anyone.

Bill Cosby's case was also very famous, and recent. Only one victim was allowed to testify - inexplicable.

The very recent Donziger case was pretty shocking; some major evidence was ignored there, along with established procedures.

Then you have things going on at even higher levels, like the Supreme Court deciding not to investigate itself, or the CFR blocking witnesses that would have said the WMD story was baloney.

Those were cases where the entire world was watching. Imagine what goes on where it's only a million or two at stake.
Customers dont have to guess, just pay the 15% and leave. Thats just the standard.

If a company chooses to pay more, their prices go up and they cant compete. Even though its just shifting the cost from a hidden to a declared one, its enough where restaurants struggle and either abandon the model or go out of business. Its an industry problem that needs to be fixed at that level, you cant just say "Go out of business, Done!" as thats not a realistic solution.
Alpha account here as well, we're all SOL afaik.

> Witness testimony is trivially fabricated. It happens all the time in court. The solution is to rebut it, not ban it.

Witness testimony is under oath. You can lie, but then you can go to jail. And you can be cross-examined, unlike a video. The risk of punishment reduces the incentive to lie and the interactivity increases the potential for it to be discovered.

Witnesses also have varying credibility. If the witness is the plaintiff, they have an obvious incentive to lie and juries know that. Whereas a video from an unauthenticated source is no more credible but fosters the intuition that you're seeing something with your own eyes.

> I don't think you're arguing in good faith.

I think I am.

I think we can agree that a random video from a random YouTube channel has no credibility. But if you're going to stake the value of your evidence on the credibility of the source, you should at least have to establish that it can actually be authenticated by one of these credible parties and not just e.g. some syndicated clip that got published on their channel.

Which, once again, you may be able to do. But you should still have the burden of actually doing it.
I didn't say anything about automated.

99% of the time, I debug using tests. You write the expected output and then fill in the implementation. If you don't get what you expect, something is wrong with your code and it is easy to run it in the debugger to figure out what is wrong.

At the end of that, you end up with a test and some code that works.

Other people call this TDD.
Worth pointing out that Metformin has a host of unpleasant and common side effects. E.g., here's 40% of type 2 diabetics not adhering to the prescribed dosing protocol: https://joppp.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40545-022-...
