This doesn't seem a fair comparison. Prometheus is statically linked like all Go applications, and those packages are not. You can debate the merits of that, but if you compare a "only rsyslog" server vs a "only promethe

There's little advantage over that vs looking up the old files in source control.

OK, but that doesn't make it right or good advice. It's just one type of of technical debt due to too much workload.

I don't see how that invalidates the metaphor. For any version of code you can evaluate clean-ness. Writing is also not immutable, professional authors make hundreds of versions before publishing. Of course books get 1 major release. S

Seems garbage advice to me. Now you've polluted your production code, likely forever. I don't see a situation where using an issue tracker + good commits - e.g. 1 commit for the 1 PR linked to the ticket that removes the feature -

I doubt it has the memory capacity or bandwidth for a lossless format like FLAC.

MP3 already made such a PC sweat though. I doubt it could play 256 kbit AAC, and forget about HE-AAC or FLAC.

How difficult it is to scale depends on your requirements, but if those aren't strict it's as easy as adjusting a parameter. In my experience it's not hard at all. If you can live with not strictly ordered messages around sca

It's a way to potentially prolong a terminally ill patients life with an experimental technique, potentially advancing medical science in doing so. I fail to see why this should be cast in a negative light.

I'd say Ponzi-scheme is a justified classification, since returns are funded by new entrants or additional purchases, instead of the asset producing value itself like a company stock or a house. Even something like gold with no value p

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have ~zero inherent value, due to their non-speculation use-cases like payment being very limited or still early development (smart contracts). Unless you count BTC in black market I guess. USD has inheren

I've noticed 2.5 becoming a bit more common on enthusiast hardware, so it'll be a while yet before 10G becomes mainstream, but 2.5 and 5 might be the standard for new hardware a decade from now.

This kinda shows the problem with self-hosting though. Expectant parents just want an app they can directly use. Even something as simple as Heroku is outside the tech skills of 95% of parents.

That probably won't work, WoW64 is running x86-64 on x86-32. You can combine Wine with QEMU to run x86-32 on AArch64 though.
