Have they tried burying the cables? Yes, it's more expensive, but if they care so much about the views...

Wouldn't it be appropriate now to call the next version SSL again? It's still widely used by everyone, so let them keep using it.

Lottie hogs CPU in browser like crazy.

Try faking your data next time, dude! You will be famous for some time. Do you even know how hard it is to make data points that seem natural but follow some clear pattern you want it to follow? I spent a good half of a day looking for that proper inverse formula.

VictoriaMetrics does support occasional updates/deletes (e.g. you may need it for GDPR compliance).

Thanks for reply! I thought that this S3 table would be something other than Databricks or Snowflake.

New comment by aramattamara in "OpenTelemetry and vendor neutrality: how to build an observability strategy"

aramattamara — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 01:39:25 +0000

The problem with OpenTelemetry is that it really only good for tracing. Metrics and logs are kinda bungee strapped later: very inefficient and clunky to use.

PS: And devs (Lightspeed?) seem to really like "Open" prefix: OpenTracing + OpenCensus = OpenTelemetry.

War was way more abundant and routine in those days. To the east of the study area, there was constant presence of nomadic tribes. I guess it's easier to defend in large groups. The other way to deter invaders is to not have anything to eat yourself (hence frequent fires when settlers burned their own settlements ahead of enemy).

It's hard to invest millions in employees who are likely to leave to a competitor later. That's very risky, aka venture.

What about Java modules (aka JEP-200, aka Project Jigsaw, completed in 2017)?

Used it for JavaFX apps with no problems.

Yes, it's called Java modules (aka JEP-200).

Although people often skip it and put everything in one module. It was released in Java 9 (started in 2014 and completed fully in 2017).

> 95% of tech companies are _driven_ by profits

They are obliged to, by definition. Unlike non-profit or public-benefit companies, commercial companies must maximize profits for shareholders, otherwise they might be prosecuted by law.
