Surely you aren’t doing real time indexing, transformation, analytics, etc in the same service that is producing the logs. A catastrophic increase in logging could certainly take down your log processing pipeline but it should not create ca

The unspoken assumption you are making is that anyone who would disagree with your philosophy on this is incompetent.

The issue with relying on gdb is that you generally cannot do this in production. You can’t practically attach a debugger to a production instance of a service for both performance and privacy reasons, and the same generally applies to desk

This 100% matches my experience in Washington. I know a lot of upper middle class who use cannabis. I think the consumption of edibles might be higher in the upper middle class vs smoked. But that’s very anecdotal.

It’s very skunky. I thought a skunk had been killed on an industrial road I drive sometimes. The smell was there for months. I finally realized there’s a cannabis processing facility there. Still stinks years later now.

I’ve never smelled pot that didn’t stink. It does not smell like a sewer to me but it distinctly smells like skunk.

I don’t really understand what you mean about opening files. Is this just an example of an idempotent action or is there some specific significance here? Either way logging the input (file name) is notably not sufficient for debugging if th

If the statement is just that sometimes it’s appropriate to have callbacks, absolutely. A library that only logs in places where it really needs a callback is poorly designed. I still don’t want to have to provide a 429 callback just to log

by dpark 10mo ago
Defining a callback for every situation where a library might encounter an unexpected condition and pointing them all at the logs seems like a massive waste of time. I would much prefer a library have sane defaults, reasonable logging, and

No doubt. It was clearly a waste of effort to engage.

And the program doesn’t know if the user is expecting failure, either. The library case is not actually much different. It’s very reasonable that a logging framework should allow higher levels to adjust how logging at lower levels is record

I’ve worked on systems with “modularized” logging. It’s never been pleasant because investigations involve stitching together a bunch of different log sources to understand erase actually happened. A global log dump with attribution (module

I’ve written code that followed this model, but it almost always just maps to logging anyway, and the rest of the time it’s narrow options presented in the callback. e.g. Retry vs wait vs abort. It’s very rarely realistic that a client woul

Assuming everything is idempotent is a tall order. There are a lot of libraries that haven non-idempotent actions. There are a lot of inputs that can be problematic to log, too.

They were replying to a person who says “it’s almost always wrong for library functions to log anything”. Not just errors.

No. My argument there was that your “we can just live like a bunch of independent tribes and no one will interfere if we can get rid of that pesky central government” idea is not based in reality. We have seen that underpowered minority gro

You can read all about the actual stories of minorities rising up to fight majorities in history books. This isn’t some hypothetical we have to approach from a purely philosophical standpoint. All modern functioning democracies I’m aware of

It’s illuminating and sad to piece together the picture of what you actually want. You mention dictatorship being better than democracy and then talk about “polycentric law” which seems to basically be sovereign citizen stuff. And then you

The US specifically doesn’t gather or publish stats about citizens who are detained or deported. Shocking, that. But you can easily search on Google and find some info. Propublica has an article claiming they investigated 170 cases of citiz
