I don't think we have to understand the natural world to care about it. But I will go further haha: I think we _already_ prioritize human health and advancement above preserving anything about the natural world (unless we have identifi

Despite the efforts of many of centuries, we are still so ignorant of the vast variety of life that surrounds and supports us on this planet. We should have more humility about this, but we (collectively, as a species) do not. Some will say

Hah! I was wondering if it was maybe something he started doing over time and should have looked more at the later seasons I guess. It's comforting that it's not just a fun story.

I also saw that interview, then out of curiosity I tried to find any evidence of this. There are some fan sites with ostensibly original X-Files scripts out there[1]. Looking through some written by Carter[2], I wonder if this is apocryphal

Pi is one of the ways out of this problem (OpenCode another) so I took it as an intentional reference as it is highly relevant. I also use Pi as my daily driver and I think it's a wise choice to figure out how to decouple yourself from

> Also, thoughts on Vector vs otel agent? IMO, with the current tech, it entirely depends on what data you're talking about. For metrics and traces, I would use the OTel collector personally. You will have much more flexibility and

This is very true! In practice I have seen that it is exceedingly difficult to write the GraphQL "sinks" (I don't recall the exact term) that can intelligently handle things like batching and understanding things like pre fil

The article imo misuses the term BFF a bit, but perhaps its meaning has evolved over time. I was at SoundCloud when BFF was being introduced as an important piece of the microservice architecture--this post explains the purpose well[0]. BFF

I don't believe this is a solved problem, and it's been around since OpenTracing days[0]. I do not think that the Span links, as they are currently defined, would be the best place to do this, but maybe Span links are extended to

Keycloak solves a complex problem. It is built on a plugin architecture, so plugins are certainly a viable option and this is documented in more detail here[0]. In general I have found the Keycloak docs thorough and well-written. When I ope

Good find :) I find it interesting how this ties in to the "productivity paradox."[0] The idea the author seems to be getting at--that software accelerates the creation of ever more elaborate solutions (often to problems created b

David Graeber addresses precisely this in several pieces that ultimately became the book _Bullshit Jobs_. Here is a snippet from a relevant interview[1]. "What happened? Well, I think part of it is a hypertrophy of this drive to valida

Thank you for sharing this! I've been intrigued by the idea of property tests for a while but in my mind it's relegated to the "mad science" corner of tools I would use, partly because most examples or cases made for it

I was excited to take the leap and try the FP2, and ended up really disappointed by it. The quality of both hardware and software was just pretty bad. The casing would warp and pop off over time; I had to order 2 replacements in the 2 years

DynoSRC will actually insert white space into minified files before doing the diff so it can still do line diffs. We were and are concerned about the overhead of a diff on the minfication use-case, but it's promising that some minifier

Good point. I believe if the cache is disabled the fallback behavior will be that all the JS assets just get inlined in full on the page, which is still arguably better than requiring an extra HTTP request. I haven't tested this yet, t
