This model seems super expensive! I interpret it as traces on steroids which will make query complex and slow!
A lot of businesses haven't even nailed simple histograms with prometheus. I wouldn't like observability to become a full set of problems on its own!
Also timeseries is powerfull in observability because a lot of issues can be represented as cheap counters, gauges and distributions. I want to see a paradigm complimentary to this simple principle instead of producing nested documents with nested objects.
Starting with the example, I find it counterproductive because our brains are always going for the condition first. (or my brain)
Waiting on a traffic light the thinking is "if light is red/green, then wait/cross" its not like "don't cross unless its green".
Also if there is only one obvious way to do things it's a productivity boost! I cannot stress enough how many times we have debated coding styles, wasting precious development time! No customer cares of your coding style! If you are an engineering who cares more about the length of a line or the import order instead of a critical feature for the customer, you have to rethink the priorities.
What I don't understand with patent trolls is how this will even go a trial? How does this work?
There is a random lawsuit therefore you'll either have to pay or go to a trial? Who accepted the lawsuit in the first place and based on what legal ground?
Basically they say you are violating their patent. You can license it for $X and then everything is good. If you don't license it we will sue you for patent infringement.
The problem is typically defending yourself cost you a lot more money than it would be to just pay the $X. In other countries if you defended yourself and won, the loser would have to pay your cost, but not in the US making it a less risky venture.
Often times small companies are quite busy and just pay the license fee to make the trolls go away. Unfortunately that just ends up creating more trolls.
There are ways to invalidate a patent, but the US Patent Office that granted the bad patent is immune from any financial liability from the damage their bad patent caused, so the US Patent Office keeps granting them.
I was expecting to find some interesting thoughts on this one, but its the usual rant of the "freelancer" who does not understand what production means!
Yes big companies have productivity issues, however they have to create software which will outlive most engineers working at the business. You cannot reach the SLOs of google by hacking something together in 2 months!
Excuse me but I don't see in there any reference to what made peloton stock "actually" explode which was the enforcement of wfh. This is a VERY biased deck.
they are making an argument for their point of view. They list specific actions and evidence to support their points. They don't claim to be 'unbiased'.
The fetishization of objectivity and being unbiased will honestly be the death of the human species.
