I own an emotiscope[1]. Crafted by a solo developer that went on to do other things. This device seems to have implemented the hard part pretty well. Different algorithms with minimal delay. 1. https://github.com/Lixie-Labs&

The Cisco Time Series model is inspired by this model from Google. This one is targeted at observability data and I can confirm it works great in that context https://github.com/splunk/cisco-time-series-model

As a user I don’t get why Apple allows this user hostile behavior in an app they distribute in their app store.The platform has alternatives. iOS has a sharing sheet. iOS has a default browser setting (in EU).

FTA: A chat bot can handle expected, middle-of-the-road queries (as in, for a bank, “what’s my balance” and so on) – but customers can get those answers already from the app or website. This is where the author misses the point. Chat bots w

In my career I got quite some technical certifications. Any cert shows you are taking your job seriously and you are willing to learn. The following three certs helped to show I know my field really well and these separated me from others t

Many moons ago I created all graphs in the LPIC2 exam prep book [1] using graphviz. The book is open sourced now, and all dot files are preserved in the accompanying repo [2]. One thing I learned creating these graphs was that with some tin

I’ve fixed production bugs by removing code copied verbatim from the PHP manual. It looked like the clueless previous developer had copy pasted code from all over the place until the code sort of did what it was supposed to do. The code sni

Probably none. Why should telemetry data sent from Mars be encrypted? Encryption makes the system more complex and requires more computations and power on Mars.

Some retailers already use RFID to track items around the store. They track the full journey of items around the store. Which items go into the fitting room together, which will be eventually bought, etc. Not to combat theft, but to optimiz

As a user I really don't like sites disabling autofill. In this case, you make me type my address, because you want to use one address field. A better solution would be to detect safari, and present multiple fields, which will be autof

A trace should answer why a query is fast or slow. It should provide enough information to a dba (which I’m not) to determine in which domain the most likely optimization is possible. I.e. the query itself, db configuration and tuning or un

I don’t like the devaluation of the word observability. A chart like this used to be called something like ‘tools to monitor and understand postgres’. Observability is the ability to derive the internal state of a system from the outside.

Did you notice you can hold and slide to change volume? You don’t need to hit the volume slider where it appears. Same with brightness. Totally undiscoverable gesture.

Indeed, ECMP uses some kind of hashing (dependant on the implementation) to do the distribution and doesn't take different line speeds into account at all. Great improvement if this project does take this into account.
