> Authors Charity Majors, Liz Fong-Jones, and George Miranda from Honeycomb explain what constitutes good observability, show you how to improve upon what you're doing today, and provide practical dos and don'ts for migrating from legacy tooling, such as metrics, monitoring, and log management. You'll also learn the impact observability has on organizational culture (and vice versa).

No wonder, it's either strong bias from people working in a tracing vendor, or outright a sales pitch.

It's totally false though. Each pillar - metrics, logs and traces have their place and serve different purposes. You won't use traces to measure the number of requests hitting your load balancer, or the amount of objects in the async queue, or CPU utilisation, or network latency, or any number of things. Logs can be more rich than traces, and a nice pattern I've used with Grafana is linking the two, and having the option to jump to corresponding log lines from a trace which can describe the different actions performed during that span.

Michael Jackson also would not be Michael Jackson if not for the advent of MTV and Thriller. Embracing a new artistic medium to its fullest extent to make a 13 minute video in an age of 3 minute songs on the radio.

Creative people will find creative ways to use new creative tools.

There is even still amazing marble sculpture being made today but we are not going back to ancient Rome in terms of the importance of sculpture as a popular artistic medium of the day.

There will be cool, new electronic music genres from these AI tools and that sound might eventually make its way to whatever cultural icons of the day are making music. Mostly though no one will listen to these genres just like they don't listen to them today. Music just isn't that culturally important anymore overall.

The real big deal is AI video because video is the dominant artistic medium of right now by several orders of magnitude. This is all just a dress rehearsal for AI video at mass scale.
One of the successful applications of stirling engines I find interesting is on diesel submarines where stirling engines are used to extend submerged running time substantially. An example is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotland-class_submarine

I agree with you, JS is a part of the web and disabling it entirely is silly. My issue is solely with the modern approach of making the web nothing but JS. I blame the W3C in part for moving in that direction (and, in turn, google, for pushing it in the first place).

I've been on poor internet connections where being able to get half broken HTML with barely any CSS loaded was a godsend. Progressive enhancement was a good idea. Nowadays if some little bit of JS doesn't load right the whole website goes down. That's a shame.
IMO both will happen. People are going to continue using other Google services, but quit YouTube.
Is it? Energy output is directly related to carbon content. More energy density from coal mean more co2.

But coal is much much worse due to toxic pm2.5
It's self-deceptive to think that significant renewable use can be anything except lies.

The only question is what end of the conversational spectrum are the lies offloaded?

Potential for energy supply parity with non-renewables? Population life support (the third rail)?. True carbon math vs the feel-good type? Or like you note, actual renewable energy implementation in contrast with what is purported? Expect a shuffle, with a multi-agenda authoritarian streak under all.

When "save group x" loses its political appeal generally, toward justifying politics, then "save the Earth" is an emotionally attractive and infinitely "renewable" excuse for acting anti-democratically.
And it's extra funny to me since I'm very much a proponent of giving power back to the people
the problem is that react is being used outside of SPAs, for any sort of interactivity, because it is easy to hire for at this point and because there are a lot of existing components to choose from. so yeah, progressive enhancement doesn't work if the actual component is state-heavy, or the entire site is state-heavy. When React came out, its tutorial was very centered around being embeddable on existing web pages, and it was framed as more of a "jQuery replacement". IIRC the term SPA didn't even exist yet. The other commenter already pointed out what the end result is.

if you don't do it for accessibility, do it for SEO. yeah a lot of commenters here already pointed out that SSR is a thing now, but the concerns you had still apply then. There's two paths to test now, one with JS and one without. This kind of always was the case though.
One has a natural wall and gives you a lot of control over the situation, the other is intensely vulnerable with a high lyapunov exponent -- i.e., 'it could go anywhere'.

And 'anywhere' includes a lot of very scary places.

Same here. I used to scoff at their prices “I could do that for way cheaper”, and I could/can… if my time is worthless which it’s not.

Now for things that aren’t my core business (day job or side project) I’m much more likely to reach for a paid off-the-shelf solution.

After months of putting off building a marketing website for my side project I just paid for a tool to build/host it so all I had to do was plug in my info. Yes I could have hosted it for pennies on S3 with CloudFront in front of it but instead I setup a cname, paid like $20 for the year, and let this other company handle the responsive design (template) for me.

Nobody should be expecting accurate information on either conflict. Sometimes accurate information is hard to come by.

I'm not sure the problem is that platforms are being "pressured to provide the public with accurate information", though. I would guess there's far more pressure to provide information that favors certain viewpoints, whether that information is accurate or not.
Always depends on the usecase.

I explicity said elswhere that the devloping world is different, didn't I?

In the developed world, read western industrial nations, nuclear is launched anymore. Those legacy projects, Hinkley C or in Finland, run late and cost more than planned. And they a certainly more expensive than solar and wind. Nuclear is good for base load, the old inflexible kind, only. It is didficult to ramp up and down on short notice, making a grid less flexible the more nuclear is deployed. Hence all serious new capacity being either wind or solar. No idea why facta can be so ignored.

By the way, my opinion about the solar industry, makers and sellers of panels, is rather low, so I deffinitely don't cheer those guys up.
If they don't have the attention for a problem, then maybe they should let me handle it? Once again, if they want a say in my problems and they don't give me the necessary information to frame that problem for their specific context, I can't help.

It's not my money. Why would I particularly care if we have to pay for some software?

But it is my time and effort. If I have to go through a lot of red tape and politics just to use some library then ... screw that. Doesn't matter how much it costs.

That's one of the reasons it generally makes no sense to offer enterprise software for a low cost. Even if it only costs $1, your users still have the red tape to deal with. You may as well make it cost $1k, so you actually make some money from the few users who fight the tape.

The aim of this project/campaign is not to be scary, but to raise awareness among policy makers and citizens. This is the background I want to highlight:

1. the first political fight is about the ban of real-time identification in public spaces. that's the dystopian scenario that nobody wants, and that's why we participated in the creation of https://reclaimyourface.eu in 2019.

2. the second (not because it's less important, but because it comes later chronologically) is not to let the monopolists get stronger roots.

Both have their complexities, and the European Parliament made something OK for 1 and 2, now the Council of European Ministries is screwing up both.

The ethical arguments: (i) massive biometric surveillance is bad in itself, (ii) the models are trained on biometric data collected without consent, (iii) and this is also fundamental to building the deepfakes (because the GNA discriminator uses a constant biometric comparison).

Even if there are three reasons, the Council is saying "Dear Parliament, no, we want facial recognition and unregulated foundation model".

So, DontSpyEU try to explain the related parts with a little prankish attitude, (and, btw, Microsoft lobbyists are just pushing their solutions, which are only meant to consolidate their monopoly)
I’m curious if it makes sense to have a distinction between source code existing for the purpose of discovery versus software for fitness of purpose.
In other words this is similar to the Cathedral and the Bazaar as OSS used as a tool by users compared to the Bazaar where the focus is on displaying the source code.
Much of my interest in contributing to OSS is more about offering examples and ideas via source code and not if the utility of the software fits specific users’ purposes.
A language like C, but with a borrow-checker
I really appreciate the idea of a Rust-like borrow-checker, but I think Rust is too complicated. Wouldn't it be possible for someone to make a smaller language like C, but with a borrow-checker? It seems that most of the aversion to Rust is the sum of its complexity.
I totally relate to this and it's one of the reasons I try to force myself to go out every day (e.g the office). I don't want to let the anxiety tyrant to grow. Also, being in my mid thirties, I've realised that I've been drinking alcohol since my early twenties (nothing crazy, just a few pints of beer every now and then) not because I like the feeling of being drunk, but because I hate the feeling of being anxious and alcohol, at least for me, acts as a solid anti-anxiety drug. Anxiety sucks because it affects critical aspects of my life (social life, sex, perceptions about life itself etc)

It's a complex and annoying problem, because if I go to the GP, I might end up taking pills and I really don't want that. The alternative is to go to a phycologist but, as with restaurants, it's better to get a recommended one and I haven't got any where I live.

No they don't. Only industrial places like storage of flammables or high-dust that can cause explosions.

Agreed.

“It’s too hard for dev teams to fund open source”: yes, it is; but we’re not going to fix that by giving them the code for free. If businesses really want something, they’ll pay. What’s missing are better ways for commercial entities-and dev teams therein- to monetarily support devs when they need to use a licence for commercial purposes because clearly the current parasitic economic model isn’t working.

> If we're not doing any state manipulation and are just using static props I don't see why we even need any abstraction at all.

People are using React outside of SPAs just because they're already used to it, and because it's got a rich ecosystem of reusable components.

I don't know how to implement setShowTooltip in vanilla js and webcomponents. It is probably really ugly. But also, making your web components work with progressive enhancement does not necessarily mean you have to get rid of React. You can still use React to define a custom HTML element, and combine the state management of React with the progressive enhancement of web components.
you're likely not exposing yourself to the root cause of your social anxiety and are only doing practical exposure therapy to symptoms rather than the root causes. here it really depends what the crux is for you personally.

just as an example that may not even apply to you: if you are fundamentally afraid in new and unfamiliar social circumstances because you're fearing whatever type of reasonable or unreasonable/irrational outcome, then just exposing yourself to a series of specific social interaction types will likely not fix that root fear and only allow you to adapt to those specific circumstances.

what you would need to do instead is actively construct a list of situations that are as different as possible from each other, each having uncertainty for you in different ways, and then find ways to expose yourself to many of them as well as as many combinations of their good and bad outcomes in your head as possible, in an incremental way (because diving in naked / cold turkey strategy can not only be ineffective but even further traumatizing in exposure therapy).

In my experience, trying to buy a car online actually increases the cost and time and frustration.

So does buying a car outright. They will actually pay you (additional rebates) to finance a new car in a lot of cases.

There is so much counter intuitative gamesmanship going on in this industry, I doubt Amazon or anyone else can really fix it.

Two of their favorite tricks are "dealer added equipment" and "documentation fees". If you pay either of these, you are getting screwed. They are few and far between but it is possible to find dealerships that don't play these games.

For example, "Nitro tires" for $400 --- is just air. Air is more than 70 percent nitrogen. They are actually charging you a good chunk of money to put air in the tires.

Other examples include "Diamond plating" for $400 --- it's just wax. Scotchgard on the seats for $400 --- is just a spray can that may or may not have been applied (how do you really know?).

I've seen vehicles on the lot with $2-3000 of this BS added to price of the vehicle. Of course, these last minute additions often aren't included in the price you find online.
>You want to install a calculator app? That'll be multiple gigabytes of download. Mere mortals now have to wait half an hour to get the app.

"Even more impressive" in what way? I haven't used INTEGRITY but used the Green Hills compiler and debugger extensively for years and they're easily the most buggy development tools I've ever had the misfortune to use.

Yeah, I signed up to see the progression. I presume that a ramp up may start off too easy for some people but will eventually start challenging without going overboard.
These discussions, if kept going long enough, usually (in my experience) move on to being about the true definition of 'real' and 'exists'.

> It's surprisingly effective to store thermal energy over several months.

And how much would you need? Have you done the maths on this? I did. There are plenty of times in e.g. November when neither wind nor solar are good for much (production drops to like 1-2% of the average). That goes on for weeks. Just trying to compensate those losses for two weeks for the current amount of wind and solar Germany has, takes > 10 TWh of storage. How much thermal storage do you think would we need to build to get that?

I made those calculations to get an idea how much storage we would need to be able to finally shut down power stations running on coal or gas. I was quite shocked about the number.

Whenever someone points out the realities of things some people are quick to counter with some utopian ideas, but usually they don't do the math on it. I encourage you to always make a calculation, at least on a napkin, to get an idea of the magnitude of what would be required.

Your comment reads like it would be as easy as the flick of a wrist because something "is surprisingly effective". It's not. It takes the amount of many, many Stuttgart 21s in dedication, costs and time.

Try doing one on a physical device too... My settings are just related to fade after reaching target or turn off immediately, Led colour (my ESP32 has a RGB onboard) and blink or pulse. Then there is a Start & Stop rate (150-60) as standard and IF sensor is connected or has data (heart) those values adjust too.

I've never read any resources on what constitutes proper open source. It seems like there are a lot of different and incompatible goals in the world of open source. For example, if I wanted to get paid I definitely wouldn't be reading something by Stallman.

Sure, reviewing and maintaining PRs is work too. If I wasn't willing to do it for free, I'd be clear and upfront, and say

> Unfortunately we don't have the time to review PRs without funding. If you are interested in having a PR reviewed, you can sponsor the project or contract a maintainer. In the past, it's taken a couple hours to review PRs. Keep in mind that even after your PR is merged, it will need to be maintained. If there are no volunteer maintainers able to keep your code in a decent state, it may be removed in future releases.

There's a very real chance someone won't use your project if you say this. They might use a competing project with maintainers that will work for free, or they might even fork your project. That's certainly their right.

I don't think I've ever seen a shitstorm arise from clear and open boundary-setting by maintainers. I'm sure I don't have an extensive catalog of every internet shitstorm, but the ones I can recall off the top of my head are usually situations that I'm sure felt like rug-pulls or shakedowns to users. I'm also having trouble thinking of a shitstorm over a minor incident that truly ruined someone's reputation, but I might just not run in the right circles to know about that kind of thing.
