That sounds pretty expensive. With dapper the trace span annotations do nothing if the request isn’t being traced. If it is being traced you might have significant costs, along the lines of sprintf(“%.03f”, ...) or…
Another nice thing about pull is you only pull from the authoritative source. If you have a daemon that has gone rogue your load balancer or naming system can throw it out of the named group/job/whatever even if it…
Not really. I just think it’s funny to see it described by one groups as a reasonable or even state-of-the-art system, while another group describes it as brain damage from ten years ago.
Prometheus is an escaped implementation of Google’s borgmon, which is seen inside Google as a kind of horror show, and alternatives have been developed. It is kind of frightening that it has got out in the wild and…
There are also legitimate issues being brought up in other political posts but they have been banned anyway.
I wish threads about this clown would get disappeared down the HN memory hole the same way threads about Trump get handled.
Considering that address and date of birth strongly predict most of the digits of the SSN, this is pretty bad. Consider further than even name can predict SSN (people named Stein more likely to have been born at the…
I'll give you one thing: the assets of the company are pledged to the senior bond holders, but then after the bonds are sold the PE company generally disposes of the assets, leaving nothing backing the senior debt. The…
My neighborhood Nextdoor is full of NIMBY on this topic. Apparently electrosensitivity afflicts some 90-95% of people who have the free time to go to city council meetings at 3pm on weekdays. Shungite pendants have been…
May I suggest compiling software? For people without access to distributed build and test a box like this is really nice. I do have access to a huge distributed build farm but even then I use a beefy HP workstation…
I agree that minimum wages need not be uniform over large geographical areas.
Restaurant profits are controlled by landlords. The rent goes up just to the point where the business survives. Due to the natural shortage of space, this works perfectly for landlords and not very well for anyone else.…
Technically the branch prediction benefit comes from partitioning the array around the critical value 128. Sorting is not necessary. Partitioning may be faster.
These ladies are behind the times. Gender politics at Google are now so advanced that feminism isn't even a thing. The "non-binary" and "genderqueer" have thrown the feminists under the bus. Frankly I'm shocked that the…
Yeah, my taxes always just summarize capital gains as "various" on Sched. D.
I think their point was that it seems unfair to count up all the of the embodied energy of an electric car's batteries, but to only count the potential energy of the ICE car's fuel.
True. However, while it is possible to make any kind of car with 100% renewable embodied energy, it is quite impossible to operate an ICE car on renewable.
That requires you to assume a certain mix of energy used to manufacture the thing.
We have that breakdown in California statistics and 91% of transport is private cars. Trains, planes, trucks, and off-road equipment is tiny.
I don't know about globally, but in California the carbon emissions from light vehicles are the largest component of the emissions inventory, and the only component that is growing. If entire fleet was electrified and…
I hear you. The thing about a national forest is there are already roads, and already the sounds of logging. These are working lands. We set aside wilderness areas without roads, that are not even welcoming to horses,…
Search for "trespass grow" to find a lot of magazine articles and videos on the subject. I may shake my head at clear-cutting and overgrazing but I'll say that I've never been chased off public land by a rancher nor…
Article doesn't really highlight the environmental hooliganism practiced by these guys. They rip up a meadow in a national forest, or on BLM land, and they irrigate like crazy people, eroding everything rapidly, and…
I beg to differ. Exodus of ~1m people in about one day is frequently observed in Europe. It can't be done with cars, of course, because cars are not a means of mass transportation. It can be done easily with trains,…
