This blog spam is all over the place. There isn't even a coherent critique that can be made. Seeing as it's just a cover to sell courses, books, sign up for a newsletter, etc, I have a hard time this got organically to the front p

Because Make is too stable and well documented, because it's just one tool and not 3, because it isn't written in Go and because you don't have to scratch you head at another YAML hell. Because 47 years of proven track record

I think most here would know that math is not complete, consistent or decidable. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo ) But I'm going to leave that aside as it's pretty high level math for me and I never ru

As long as the war in Ukraine lasts I don't think we are going to see any improvement. A lot of money is going there and so the value of the money remaining for investing, development, spending, is diminished. As for the war I initiall

Fractional scaling is still experimental and CPU consuming in Wayland. I didn't even investigate further as that is a must have feature for me.

No, Reddit has local subs, but the app is global. You have global karma, rules, admins and so on.

NextDoor is not local. It has local divisions, communities, whatever you want to call them, but the app is not local. So the owner of the app is not involved in the local communities, he does not personally appoint moderators and so on.

Everybody's looking for a technical solution to a human problem. There's no COC, algorithm, policy, federation, whatever that will fix social media. The only thing that worked long-term where limited scoped* forums with 100% human

For over 20 years Linux has been my main desktop OS and also my profession. And I hope the year of the Linux desktop never comes. Why? Because I've seen what happened with other niche hobbies of mine that went mainstream. Once the mone

Where there's demand there will be supply. People are asking too much of science and technology in the last decades. We want instant results, shortcuts, secrets to success. Nobody wants to pay for slow steady progress and long term r

I initially set out to save other people from the bait and switch from unix to politics but then I made a convoluted comment which confused people even more...

Watch the video, the presenter is the one who made it about straight white men vs everybody else. Then read my comment again. I am opposing bringing race and gender politics into Unix discussion.

To save everybody's time: this is about straight white men making an OS for them and thus terrible for everybody else. And it has some puzzling examples. For example if you want to kill a process according to the presenter you need &qu

It's basically just "if it's too good to be true than it ain't". Which was obvious for me from the begging for free video streaming, lower cost higher quality taxi, lower cost higher quality hotel rooms, zero cost b

The reviews are already useless. We had plenty of discussion here about that, won't go into details. Again, it was just an example, don't get stuck on it, there are a million ways to fool the public because: 1. There is just too m

There's always going to be room for an un/poorly regulated gold rush somewhere somehow. If we drop the loyalty to major brands they will open small proxy ones and flood the market. Just an example. I think there's a cultural

I always buy glossy TVs and matted monitors. The TV is only used for movies and I close all the blinds for the full cinematic experience. But I don't want to work in a dark office, it does not feel good and I don't think it's

Philosophers have been arguing about what it really means to know something for millennia so I don't think we can make any significant progress there. But what about practical purposes? How do you decide if a mechanic knows enough to f

Exactly this. There is no need for overthinking things, like in the article. When I was in college I noticed one group who managed well above all the others. They where in their 30s.

People need to stop hoping for good crowd sourced reviews and ratings. Even if the platform would have the best interests it can't be done. Two simple reasons: 1. Ratings: you can not compress information down to 1 byte without losing

That was added in https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/14... I did it before this, when replication between clusters was not available (it was in Enterprise if I remember correctly).

I am not asking about the tech. I know it. I did VictoriaMetrics exclusively for 2 years. I submitted bug fixes to them. I wrote a metrics duplicator loadbalancer with local buffer which stood before vminsert to get HA without paying VM for

That's not what I'm asking. Of course Alertmanager works. Did you get the system to the point where all the false positives are eliminated and you don't miss any failure either, such that you don't need L1 to stay in 3 s

And had the final result of the migration completely automated alerts? Or did you have to employ round the clock L1s to weed through the alerts?

> "State monitoring" are just different metrics True but also misleading. In the end everything is really math but that is unhelpful. What matters is the model you apply to your numbers. And state monitoring as thought by Nagio
