My biggest missing feature for Grafana is that I want a Fourier transform that can identify epicycles in spikes of traffic. Like the first Monday of the month, or noon on tuesdays. I had a couple charts that showed a trend line of the last

There was a weird moment when the overlay filesystem in docker had a disk leak for files that were written to inside the container and not being able to clean up after they exited except by resetting the entire host system. One of the recom

I tried my dad’s grape nuts once and I never felt the gulf between us wide as I did in that moment. WTF, man.

Orange boys are outspoken, sometimes to their own detriment. Orange is overrepresented in house cats and underrepresented in feral cats. The interpretation of this is that what selects for a kitten at a shelter is an evolutionary disadvanta

I still find it terrifying that even robots couldn’t survive the Chernobyl hot zone.

Glycogen is stored in the muscles and in the liver, not just the liver. The liver holds around half of your reserves.

Poor dental health also contributes and nothing pushes poor dental healthy like a high sugar diet.

And the muscles. You can’t fight or flight if you have to ask the liver to deliver glycogen. That’s how anaerobic exercise works. You have the fuel but not enough oxygen to burn it so you burn it fuel rich and oxidizer poor.

Turns out the phosphoric acid breaks down the sucrose within a matter of months on the shelf.

So the dairy industry still hasn’t gotten its day in court.

I worked at a couple places where the vendors got wise and moved to cash in advance or net30 from net90 for us. We probably deserved it.

The thing about dissolving a company is that they generally should have done it before getting a bunch of services without paying for them. Like a gambler they think the big win is coming any second and they drag it out too long, leaving a

16 bit programming kinda sucked. I caught the tail end of it but my first project was using Win32s so I just had to cherry-pick what I wanted to work on to avoid having to learn it at all. I was fortunate that a Hype Train with a particula

I tried to explain this to a team that eventually lost their customers to competitors who could generate less interesting pages far cheaper per request. Instead they went off on a two year jag trying to cache page sections. You know a team

There’s a Venn diagram of different delusions and they overlap a lot. You don’t have a market fit and you’re running your dev team like a larger company? What are the odds? Pretty high actually.

You can’t solve social problems with technology. Microservices solve a logistical problem. Rob wants to push code every two days. Steve wants to push every three. Thom deals with business who wants to release at whim and preferably within a

One of the tricks of the startup dance is attaching improvement to revenue. Any work that’s done to support new customers will get approved. And work that looks like a loss leader, such as to retain existing customers, they may lean on the

Ask your coworkers how many of them got any formal training in distributed systems in college. You’re going to find out it’s not many. So far I haven’t found anyone who didn’t go to Berkeley or UIUC. WTF is going on with universities?

I vastly prefer architecture as a responsibility shared by all the staff+ or lead devs than as a role. But that starts to fall down too any time too many people are talking about software they aren’t responsible for deploying or fixing.

CPU branch predictors aren’t going to run long expensive operations in the background. This is like saying bloom filters are speculative memory fetches. That’s not completely untrue but it misses the point.

64 bits would have been much easier to read and transcribe. It does matter.

Whether the packets forward it’s still leaking your network topology to attackers which is so boneheaded I don’t know where to start.

The irony that I forgot to voice is that if we had gone 64 and feeder features we’d be farther along in adoption now and probably be consuming the address space at least a fraction as fast as people feared. By raising the barrier to entry s

I think I could trust AI more if we used it to do heuristics for expensive deterministic processes. Sort of a cross between Bloom Filters and speculative execution. Determine the odds the expensive operation 1 will indicate that expensive o

Was DHCP so bad? It carries information important to using such a device anyway.

I get so many Second System Syndrome vibes off of IPv6. Surely other people must be picking it up too. Future proofing it by jumping straight to 128 bits instead of 64. 64 would have been fine. Even with a load factor of 1:1000 by assigning

When that steam deck clone came out and games played better on SteamOS than on Windows on the exact same hardware, it woke a bunch of people up. Microsoft scrambled to bring the startup time and footprint down but shots had already been fir
