I suppose that with complex systems, specially the ones with some fragility or in some sort of equilibrium that only can sustain push below some threshold, a big enough disturbance will put it off balance, and everything that emerges from

Having a running record on how those buffers and connections are used is always helpful. Percona’s PMM looks great in that sense. But in general tracking those metrics (and more) in your time series based monitoring, whatever solution it is

Normal world things usually scales by unit. You can have 1 apple, 3 apples, or 10 apples, so the shortcuts for amounts of digits matter. In the digital world, a lot of things scale by powers of two. You can't have 2 isolated bits. You

I don't see this kind of single factors deterministic, just that things are not perfectly random anymore, a bias is introduced, on similar circumstances the dice may have more probabilities to fall in a particular direction. At least t

This could had been a chapter of Guns, Germs and Steel, at least as factor on how the East and West cultures managed to differ, and, maybe, one ended dominating the world and not the other. Anyway, I don't think it applies to modern wo

Losing the reflecting ice will increase the average global warming rate. And you don't just melt an isolated piece of ice in the middle of the terrain, not to cause a change of a global trend at least. Melting enough ice means melting

Definitely it wasn't aliens. The main camera only started to show a mysterious countdown sequence.

We could make a DOS BBS in an even more offensive, wrong, and postmodern way using a ChatGPT prompt like the one in https://sharegpt.com/c/ICZsSl7 This is badly overkill. I used to run my own BBS with several nodes in

Depending on what your main competitor gives you is a bad pattern. If it gets adopted enough, or somewhat Google see it as a threat, conditions will change, maybe for everyone. Think in what Reddit did when seemed that ChatGPT was trained o

And don’t forget the sensors they are usually packed with. Reasonably good camera, gps, accelerometers and more, it is not just a generic server. And with such amount of RAM, it could even run some small enough AI to give not so predefined

It is different to monitor how/if your DNSs are running than if the world is resolving your domain/server names, they return v4/v6 records or even if what they are resolving is in the right IP blocks. It is up to what you rea

If they were just 11 is not that the server was compromised, but probably something targeting client side, like some sort of spear phishing, or a fake AP near enough a meeting point place.

I have to agree that most if not all all the characters by the end of the series became two-dimensional. But in this particular case I think it was a good thing.

Darmok, when the time comes in some way. It goes beyond English/Swedish vs Spanish. In Chinese you go down and up in time, like afternoon would be under noon.

I just bumped that glass off the table. How I would know that it would fall and break? Surely the fragility of the glass deserves part of the blame.

We are not at the middle of this decade yet, but some climate indicators had a visible gap against previous years records since last year. If the next El Niño event is stronger than what it was in 2016 we might get around there before 2030.

It is our fault that substractive solutions are counterintuitive. So our approach to rebalance a system that we unbalanced adding something is adding even more potentially disruptive things, and, of course, not touching what we added origin

My favourite use for tries is for storing IPv4/IPv6 subnets, but the idea is to use compressed tries (like the Radix/Patricia tree) and storing bits, not letters. As there are usually long subchains of common blocks, are pretty ef

Could this be related to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle? Or be an artifact caused by the measurement?
