I'm seeing this "3 pillars of observability" framing as the main description these days, and I think it is nice breakdown of options. However, there is a common problem I am curious how others are dealing with. All metrics sy

This kind of thing is handled at the CEO level at Epic because it is clearly part of a big strategy. This sounds to me like two very wealthy CEOs got really pissed off at each other and are going to all out war here. To me Apple's resp

"Using an analogy like a drunk uses a light post, for support instead of illumination." is still one of my favorite expressions. It really is amazing how often people believe that having an analogy is evidence something is true. A

Yes, but Facebook clearly wants you to believe that it is the user's freedom of speech being restricted, not their own freedom being restricted. At the same time, they want to be a "platform" and claim they are not legally re

In a country of 330 million people, I'm sure both antifa violence and groups using antifa as cover or trying to attribute violence to antifa all exist. Showing one doesn't disprove the other. This is political narrative building,

I think I am mostly skeptical about peoples description of their own experiences and I am also concerned that we don't have a metric to measure the diminished objective evaluation of reality that I see in so many people. It seems prett

I'm pretty sure others have better answers than I do on whether objects we appreciate and describe as beautiful have intrinsic quality or if the entirety of the beauty exists only in the observer. I believe that there is an interplay b

There seems to be a large spread between how the person who used psychedelics describes their experience vs how it appears to me. It used to just be the people who were in to crystals and vibrations and other new age things, but I see it wi

It starting to bother me that the US lockdown does not appear to have a clear goal. In some countries, it is clear that the goal is to eliminate the virus from the country. Contact tracing is key as well as regional lockdowns. In the US, I

I genuinely want to believe that these are alternatives to the shotfalls of capitalism, but I find the evidence pretty sparse. When you say this, what is the best example you are thinking of that makes you believe it can work? I'm not

If the problem is that it didn't know where to apply the without, then why does it show me results from only a single entity? I would prefer so see an interleaved set of results containing all ambiguous entities.

I'm curious. If a person qualifies for the stimulus check but has enough in savings to get through the next few months, do you believe they should refuse because it comes from the sweat of taxpayers as well?

It seems the author is using legacy code to mean "bad code I didn't write". My experience with legacy code is that it exists on one server set up by someone who left the company 10 years ago, only runs on a particular version

As someone who expected to find some things to agree with in this article, it was terrible. Just dripping with vague insinuations about how everything is always terrible and probably racist and ugly, but brought nothing at all of substance

I suspect this is the social adaptation that the generation that grows us with Twitter will have. Unfortunately, it may be hard to adapt to for those that weren't. I'm somewhere in the middle and I've mostly just chosen to di
