I paid USD$55 back in 2017-02, and played a little at the time, but just didn't get it . I came back to it in ~2019, but again it felt like a high barrier, requiring the kind of esoteric knowledge you'd get if you'd been con

Re-reading my comment, it may have been worded badly. The phrase 'you aren't Google' is true for 99.9% of us. We all get to fix the problems in front of us, was my point. And at that scale you've got unique problems,

So, much like a Zabbix agent, with both active (push) & passive (pull) capabilities. We're diving into OTEL, and the registration / discovery challenges don't seem to have any kind of best-practice consensus out there. W

That ungracious retort would work better if the ZX81 had 81kB. Anyway, the Commodore 64 famously had a usable 39kB, because the rest of the addressable memory space was usually occupied by the BASIC interpreter / OS (much the same thin

I concur - dead air in person is much more palatable, especially if multiple people are engaged on the same (mental) task at the same time. The description you're giving there, of the performance, is one where only one person is doing

Yes, you're right - please see my reply to a sibling comment. (I don't doubt the 75-85% figure, rather the $1T one.)

What I meant by anecdata with my first point is that it was purely a personal observation, an action that was a consequence of a consistently poor shopping experience in my part of the world, for the types of things I buy online. Typically

Ah, fairy nuff. I suspected, but assumed good faith. I suppose this means I can't possibly sway you, as much of your core identity is very tightly coupled with these beliefs. I'll offer a couple of things. A small one first - con

git bash is definitely one of the first things I install on any Microsoft Windows build -- gives me a half-way decent terminal, vim, and of course a complete and modern git.

Prima facie this seems an unlikely causal direction. After about ten days of drinking {an amount} of coffee, your tolerance adjusts, and you're aligned to someone who does not drink coffee at all. You're effectively just maintain
