Great, thanks. Sad I just wasn't looking up at that time.

Would like to know what time this happened - I was in Iceland looking up at the sky that night, but didn't see the meteor.

OpenTelemetry is primarily definitions of protocols, APIs and semantic conventions for instrumentation data (traces, metric and logs, in decreasing order of maturity). OpenTelemetry also ships the Collector, which is like a patch-bay accep

Yes. Scraping is done over http, and the format is negotiated via the ‘accept:’ header.

The protobuf format supports native histograms. That’s the most straightforward way, if you have a client library for it. Go does, for instance. OpenTelemetry is push, so if you need pull and no new daemons this PR doesn’t help you.

If you want to query across the whole data set, use one of the other things. Prometheus has a "federation" option but there's not been any active work on it for years. It's basically the definition of Thanos - take a bun

It’s entirely up to the entity quoting it. That could be me, for instance, putting a bid into the market because I read a hot tip on HN. Or you may prefer to imagine an automated market-making model that moves its price for Ford because it

The quoted price can and does move without transactions. The last-traded price does not.

I believe slog is also intended to sit above existing loggers. It is quite new.

Thanks for highlighting. How does it relate to slog? https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/slog

“go-to-market motion” means how the product is sold.

That’s in line with my point: if, say, a program could only use 64 libraries, then people would find ways to remove the ones they don’t need. But there’s no pressure to reduce, so transitive dependencies balloon.

“Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster” is Wirth’s Law, coined 25 years ago. When I started programming, the biggest problem was the 8K of RAM I had available. This year one of my programs crashed after ex

You can read here what OpenTelemetry has for profiling: https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/issues/139 It takes a lot of time and effort to bake a cross-vendor cross-language standard.

I was interested to hear (elsewhere) that the service gets spammed, perhaps by people trying to boost ratings. But you can tell the caller is a bot because it tends to start from the beginning of the track every time, and/or play exact

I recall X11R3 went so much faster compiled with gcc that everyone _had_ to get a copy. That was on 68000 though; I think gcc wasn’t so good on RISCs with branch delay slots for a long time.

I’m a little confused by your #1; I was under the impression that each container had its own cgroup. Note that Kubernetes now has code to work with swap, although some work remains. Tracking issue: https://github.com/kuberne
