You have an alert on what users actually care about, like the overall success rate. When it goes off, you check the WARNING log and metric dashboard and see that requests are timing out.

There are still some special cases, because 404 is used for both “There’s no endpoint with that name” and “There’s no record with the ID you tried to look up.”

But everything you’re describing can be done with metrics and alerts; there’s no need to spam the ERROR loglevel.
64.
by raldi 10mo ago
No; I’m not understanding your point about guessing. Could you restate? As for queries that time out, that should definitely be a metric, but not pollute the error loglevel, especially if it’s something that happens at some noisy rate all t

I’m talking about codes you receive from services you call out to.

by raldi 10mo ago
Right. If staging or the canary is logging errors, you block/abort the deploy. If it’s logging warnings, that’s normal.

by raldi 10mo ago
Yes. Examples of non-defects that should not be in the ERROR loglevel: * Database timeout (the database is owned by a separate oncall rotation that has alerts when this happens) * ISE in downstream service (return HTTP 5xx and increment a m

What reason?

Plenty of time to read the entire manual on the car ride home from Toys R Us or while another family member was using the one TV.

Some cities are more like New York; they’ll go first. Eventually the argument will have to be, “We’re completely unlike everywhere else in America.”

by raldi 10mo ago
It’s a national issue because as soon as one city tries it out and it turns out to be pretty good and none of the doom scenarios ensue, congestion-charge opponents all over America lose most of their talking points. Best they can do now is,

By the time you could build such a system, autonomous cars will have completely taken over, so the rules could be as complicated as you wish.

Even without congestion pricing, the poor are the least likely to drive. Spending public money to subsidize driving (which we’re still doing on balance, even in Manhattan) disproportionately helps the wealthy.

Try things and ask the people in a year if they like the results, then do the good ones more and the bad ones less.

Food and clothes are much cheaper. People used to have to walk or hitchhike a lot more. People died younger, or were trapped with abusive spouses and/or parents. Crime was high. There was little economic mobility. It really sucked if

We don’t have to pretend; there’s ample evidence. Here’s one from 2020 that specifically calls Dye out: https://daringfireball.net/2021/01/my_2020_apple_report_card You seem to have an axe to grind against Gruber,

Offtopic, but how do you get the special X to show up when you type “50–100×”?

Google bought up all that dark fiber cheap a decade later and used it as the backbone of their network.

If a novel you wrote 15 years ago becomes hugely successful you can capitalize with a sequel. Maybe GRRM would have written them a little faster in that universe.

My wife noticed that I don't mind being interrupted when programming anymore; between the less-intense level of concentration required now and the always-present transcript, it's not like a collapsing mental house of cards to look

That would be amazing, but places like California prohibit that as well.

Not if desirable places restrict zoning in a way that prevents more housing from being legal to build.

This is the problem with basic income if you don’t also increase the housing supply: landlords will just raise rents and soak it all up.

If I'm reading this right, the source code has been available for all the Infocom games in https://github.com/historicalsource for at least six years, but what's changed today is the license?

You can jump right into U7 but U4 and 5 are some of the best games ever created. 6 is skippable; just read the plot between 5 and 7.
