I understand "singleton" as "only one exists" and "it exists in the global scope". That is, if I create one instance of something in my `int main()` that's not enough for it to be a singleton. That'

As dcow pointed out, it really doesn't work fine for testing, as it couples what should be isolated tests together, and prevents them from being executed concurrently.

Singletons are globals, aren't they?
36.
by sagichmal 5y ago
Each of these things prevents isolated testing of dependent components. For that reason alone they are nonstarters.

Many markets are strongly influenced by federal policy and have enormous lobbying groups, and capitalism by its nature harms vulnerable people. I don't see what makes housing unique in this sense.

I don't understand how anyone can view this as unfair. It's as basic as basic economics gets. It is obviously the case that downstream consumers of goods and services pay more than upstream suppliers. The initial investment is an

All evidence suggests the answer is actually "no".

I don't think you can generalize from that specific scenario to your broad claim. It is not necessary to usurp famous city landmarks to offer affordable housing. Berlin is large and underdeveloped.

by sagichmal 5y ago
Zoning laws are not the thing restricting affordable housing supply, certainly not in Berlin and rarely elsewhere either.

by sagichmal 5y ago
Thanks for the reply. We have pretty compelling historical evidence that the market does not solve this problem.

by sagichmal 5y ago
What quotas are you referring to? Is your claim that fewer regulations would result in a net increase in affordable housing stock?
45.
by sagichmal 5y ago
This is... obviously not true? Demand exists at a lower end of the market, where there is less incentive for suppliers. There is no affordable housing stock being created. Government exists for things precisely like this situation.

Tempelhofer is an enormous asset of the city and turning half of it into apartments would be a disgrace.

Error handling is equally important to business logic. This is a core tenet of Go, an explicit design decision. If you don't agree with that statement, then you're gonna have a bad time.

The ? operator permits chaining, which obscures sad path control flow and makes code harder to reason about, not easier.

No, they offer observability as defined in your link.

The capabilities described in the post do indeed offer observability, not just monitoring.

by sagichmal 5y ago
At the moment, the capabilities of technology simply don't permit the level of... generic-ness? that vendors like OTel -- and customers really -- want. If you try to push everything through a single pipeline, as a single kind of data,

Parsing logs has a performance ceiling that locks you out of ~most of the value that good observability systems should be delivering.
