That does sound like a waste of time, and my experience agrees with yours, that it's quite common. Which is too bad, because in my opinion, if a standup is a readout of work in progress, that's dysfunctional. A good standup is abo

Also true, though it's not zero. The different cost drivers/cost model between using SaaS and on-prem infrastructure for logs are interesting and drive different decisions. I have done both in large and small environments and I ki

And marginalia_nu, the GP I was referring to, was unnecessarily strident, concluding that others must be naïve or incompetent if they had to handle logs with "ELK or something like that" and that therefore one must have an "o

While I personally favor no logging, almost everyone who criticizes structured logging would prefer unstructured logging so they can make it someone else's job to restructure it (i.e. index and query it).

Well, also the kind of people who worry about this are not thinking in terms of "a terabyte", like GP. It's always easy to give advice when your experience has been at a toy level.

Very much (e.g. timing data, counts like success and error counts and operations should be metrics). If not metrics, then traces. If not metrics or traces, then business events (e.g. like alerts, audit records). Almost everything that peopl

Often, even more complicated: the ERP software vendor is one party; then there's the consulting VAR who does the customer's "customizations", and then the in-house team which does the "administration" and some

The phone reliance in this case is for dispatchers to know where crews and airplanes are. In the article crews will call in for location and assignment (where to go to serve a flight) but are on hold for hours because there's not enoug

I don't see how stuff like this isn't fraud. I mean, if I gave money to someone, and they told me they would teach me how to cultivate magic beans that would make me happy or rich; and then it turned out that they don't know

It fits in my personal item (a small messenger bag), in its case, along with good noise-cancelling headphones. There's space for the other stuff I need (a small bottle of water and a snack), but not a jacket, which I have to wear or ti

That's fair, size versus capability is always a trade-off. It's also not exactly inexpensive. I find it's just small enough, but I don't use it for every case. It's portable in the sense of being great to take wit

When I was laid off in 2010, I found another way in which honesty bit me. Or maybe it was a lesson in recognizing the limits of offers of help, because it wasn't my "transparency" which was the problem. Of course I had my f

I have gold on United and get CPUs more often than not but these are often short flights, or even regional routes on Skywest, so that's really a crapshoot depending on the route, I think. I'll take the other benefits, too, and the

Your analogy is inapt; the whole reason dark matter is hypothesized is precisely because of the directly observable, inarguable effects it has; we can even see that it is both not evenly distributed and not distributed congruently with matt

Agreed. They studied something quite narrow, and I don't think the results are particularly applicable to broader circumstances.

This is a conciliation, it's not real. Of course religious beliefs are falsifiable. Religions make falsifiable predictions all the time. Gods live on Mount Olympus? Go meet them. Oh, they're not there? Hypothesis falsified. An ang

If you had to identify the eventgoer in advance for a non-transferable ticket, then she would have been banned for the same reason and no facial recognition would have been involved. Would that be okay, in some way this is not?

Oh no, in practice I just do the usual thing and feel vaguely dissatisfied. It just doesn't rise to the level of resisting peer pressure.

You know, I've always disliked d4s and the special way you have to "roll" them for a fair result. Too much technique. A successful roll you can see and even make rules about, as in craps (must hit the back edge of the rolling

Right--that's the heart of what I'm thinking. If there really isn't unsaved work or unsaved progress or whatever... don't warn me at all. That will also solve the habituation problem of always dismissing warnings--beca

It works both ways, too--it makes more developers aware of the others' work, what changes are being made and so forth. So it's not just expertise that gets transferred, but also the current state of the codebase.
