I know this was meant as a humorous example of where one might end up because of a delay, but I can think of a million worse places to be stuck at than Gilroy. Better that than somewhere like Hanford, King City, Barstow, or even Bakersfield.

I don't know where you get 5.9 sigma but that might have been the confidence at the time it was discovered in 2012. Since then the LHC took a lot more data and the confidence is more like 20 sigma.

That said, these days it's harder to find a paper that gives a confidence for discovery, since they are all quoting the signal strength with respect to the standard model prediction. They generally measure this within about 5%, see for example

> maybe I'm fundamentally missing something about how I'm "supposed to work", but honestly all I have ever wanted to do, when looking at logs, is see the log from one process, from beginning to end, as a text file.

This is still a valid use case but pretend for a minute you have thousands or millions of log lines to inspect. Even after filtering for ERROR level only, you still have too many "those are normal" errors, devs swear (but do not fix). And maybe the data you need to diagnose isn't even in ERROR!

The solution? Use log queries to compare a normal and abnormal process or cluster, group them by some kind of fingerprint, then apply some Laplace smoothing or other bayesian techniques to score fingerprints by strength of association with abnormal. This lets me rapidly identify problems at scale that would otherwise take hours of pouring through logs to exclude stuff by hand.

This works any time you can divide logs into "good" and "bad." Example scenarios:

- canary analysis, comparing canary and baseline

- single faulty pod in a deploy, comparing the bad container to the n good ones

- one AZ or region in a multi-region deploy

- now versus yesterday, or versus an hour ago, etc

- Android versus iPhone
That is an interesting and somewhat fair point. I guess the argument here is that because of Google's dominant share in Chrome with Widevine for DRM, they can harm competing platforms by blocking access to that tech. There might be something to that argument. I'm having a hard time steel-manning it, but I can see some points to be made through it after all.

No way they’d do it on ordinary Apple.com. They don’t give enough shits about people using their browser that’s only available at all if you already gave them money to let that interrupt any part of the process of giving them more money.

Has the web not done that, several times over at this point? We've lost too many online standards to count, from all of the FAANG vendors.

If native smartphone runtimes were not complete dogshit, I'd probably agree with you. Without the industry's cooperation though, expanding the lowest-common-denominator platform was an inevitability. People want emulators, game streaming, proper download management, the real features that the OEMs are too afraid to publish. If they won't provide that, then their users will find another way.

And so, these "all gas no brakes" features are a product of legitimate demand. It's sad, yeah; but what's even sadder is the miserly behavior from companies like Apple that market user freedom as a security apocalypse. The openness of the web has finally caught-up with it's most-restricted users.
The trip from Tokyo to Kyoto goes through several cities that have >200k people living in them, several of them being larger than Sacramento. Your point about Tokyo -> Kyoto doesn't change the previous issue of economics of trains due to lack of density.

For sure. I just wonder who these people are and how large the market is, since none of my friends/family are in it. It's possible this is much more popular on Android, or outside the US (perhaps because they use WhatsApp more than iPhone-using Americans). But if this is the case, I wonder how much they will be able to charge, since Android users are less monetizable than iPhone users, and the US has a good chunk of the highly-monetizable mobile audience.

For me, my unified workflow is my phone, which I have tuned to receive notifications from various platforms in various different ways (push, pull, manual).

That's the rub that I think you are missing. In distributed and/or cloud environments it is quite unusual for there to be a single end-to-end process, and thus we need new ways to trace across a system.

In harmony with tracing, we also need the aggregated view _across_ the estate to understand where system hotspots, levels of throughput, redundant infrastructure, error rates, etc.

heavy marijuana usage brings about brain fog. like you are never going to be as sharp and quick as someone who doesn't smoke weed. but perhaps thats where the neuroprotective properties arise, especially in highly analytical jobs where you are constantly splitting things in your mind, marijuana can "repair" unlike cocaine that is abused by wall street to make them more analytical (leading to their inevitable demise)

There's all sorts of issues that come from habitual usage and high THC definitely causes withdrawl but i think its much better than the normalized alcoholism in east asia
strace and gdb can trace and close and reopen process file handles 0,1,2.

ldpreloadhook has an example of hooking write() with LD_PRELOAD=, which e.g. golang programs built without libc don't support.

When systemd is /sbin/init, it owns all subprocess' file handles already, so there's no need to close(0), time, open(0) with gdb.

Without having to logship (copy buffers that are flushed and/or have newline characters in the stream) to a network or local Arrow database files and or SQLite vtables,

journalctl (journald) supports pattern matching with: -t syslogidentifier, -u unit; and -g grepexpr of the MESSAGE= field:

journalctl -u <TAB>
journalctl -u init.scope --reverse
journalctl -u unit.scope -g "Reached target" # and then "/sleep" to search and highlight with less

journalctl -u auditd.service

# this is slow because it's a full table scan, because
# journald does not index the logfiles;
# and -g/--grep is case insensitive if the query is all lowercase:
journalctl -g avc --reverse
journalctl -g AVC --reverse

# this is faster:
journalctl -t audit -g AVC -r

# this is still faster,
# because it only searches the current boot:
journalctl -b 0 -t audit -g AVC

# these are equivalent:
journalctl -b 0 --dmesg -t kernel
journalctl -k

#
journalctl -b 0 --user | grep -i -C "xyz123"

There is a GNOME Logs viewer that has 'All' and a few mutually exclusive filter/reports in a side pane, and a search expression field to narrow a filter/report like All or Important.

There is a Grafana Loki Docker Driver that logships from all containers visible on that DOCKER_HOST docker socket to Grafana for querying with Loki:
https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/send-data/docker-driver...

Podman with Systemd doesn't need the Grafana Docker Driver (or other logshippers like logstash, loggly, or fluentd) because systemd spawns containers and optionally pipes their stdout/stderr logs to journald.

Influx has Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf, and Kapacitor. Chronograf is their WebUI which provides a query interface for configurable chart dashboards and InfluxQL.

Grafana supports SQL, PromQL, InfluxQL, and LogQL.

Graylog2 also indexes logfiles.

But you can't query stdout and stderr you or /sbin/init haven't logged to a file.

No way. I've taken that route many times over the last decade and never paid less than $35. It also usually takes 4.5 hours unless you take the Acela which I've never seen for less than $80.

You can't receive messages via iMessage without disclosing your phone-number or Apple ID e-mail address to the sender. Furthermore, doing anything that changes your phone-number (e.g. using a local SIM abroad instead of roaming) invalidates your phone-number with iMessage, but because most people use iMessage via phone-numbers it means you're forced to use roaming ($$$) when travelling, and so on and so on.

So long as iMessage is sold as "better SMS" then that's fine, as it inherits SMS's limitations (above) - but it isn't a portable, platform-agnostic, geography-neutral, messaging platform, and I'd rather people didn't try to use it as such.

Sure, this version of the problem could have been avoided with legislation but something else would cause it. Let’s take Porto as the example, automotive industry in the region grows suddenly, people move to the area, buy and rent property in Porto which drives up prices and drives out locals.

Very cool! I am curious if it takes standard batteries, or something custom from them that will be unobtainable in a few years?

I'm also curious if the noise cancelling is any good... I'm tired of being locked into overpriced low quality Bose products, but historically they have been the only ones with truly good noise cancelling. As I have ADHD I need really good noise cancelling to do my job in an open work environment.

Lastly, I'm wondering what the deal is with the earbud tips, as I've found I often need a custom or weird sized one to get things to stay in my ear. The Bose ones generally work for me, as they come with a large array of sizes, but the photos make this look like just a single size.

It is an API where the entire data flow is controlled by Google and was meant as replacement for one that Google had no control over.

That's 1.7% of the total of rental housing units in NYC.

NYC builds roughly 22k units per year.

In comparison, Austin, which has actually seen rents become more affordable, also built around 22k units in 2023. That's 9% of the number of rental units in Austin. So Austin builds 4.5 as much per year.

There's nothing gentle about 38kV. You're not going to lower down a line and bleed off some charge. Once there's a viable path to ground, current will flow all over whatever is making that path, including the very air around it. The entire drone, wire, and the air it is inside of will turn into vaporized plasma as if hit by a bolt of lightning. And 38kV is low voltage in the high-tension world.

Creating current flows from a field is what induction is, so if you're imagining that you could just generate electricity from a field, well, that's what they're already doing. It doesn't take lowering a probe. You can just use an inductor.
