What valuation is this at?

What will they be reinventing from scratch for no reason?

It's the only book they've read, most likely.

I cannot believe it can be too hard to write something that takes the output of dtrace and shoves it into a span collector.

We should be using USDTs to emit trace ids that can be consumed by dtrace and shoved into whatever backend we want for tracing.

There is very much an alternative. Looking at the execution of your code should never alter its fundamental performance the way otel is built to do. This was a solved problem at least a decade and a half ago, but the cool kids decided to reinvent the wheel, poorly.

OpenTelemetry won observability mindshare, but it is entirely the wrong architectural choice: by buying into its ethos your code is held hostage by the least stable otel monitoring library for your dependencies.

Sadly, there was always an alternative that no one took: dtrace. Add USDTs to your code and then monitor progress by instrumenting it externally, sending the resulting traces to wherever you want. My sincere hope is that the renewed interest in ebpf makes this a reality soon: I never want to have to do another from opentelemetry.<whatever> import <whatever> ever again.

I'm not complaining, but also why?

Businesses

It's still a leveraged buyout.

Given how awful performance on my Windows desktop is, I am shocked that Microsoft is still investing in performance.

Perfect.

Can someone please write a '"considered harmful" considered harmful' piece.

Personally naturalized via marriage a long time ago but the birthplace/nationality arb is super interesting!

Wait -- is it country of birth or country of citizenship? If I was born in Switzerland but held a Bangladeshi passport could I possibly use the former's priority queue?

The hedge fund effect.

Well, that explains why I couldn't diff across forks.

After hours market prices aren't indicative. I'd wait until tomorrow mroning to see what happens.

I've suspected that there are consistency issues on RDS for a while now: if you push large quantities of data (e.g. 1MM+ rows) into a database quickly and then try to read the same data out on another connection, you'll periodically get null return sets.

We've worked around it by not touching the hot stove, but it's kind of worrying that there are consistency issues with it.

As good as the DailyWTF story is, it's not real. Coal is unfortunately cash settled.

Even oil, which is physically delivered settles physically in discrete locations. It would be pretty funny if someone delivered tankers full of oil to your office though lol.

CUSIP?

Japan has (within reason) concerns other than the total cost of electricity: having to haul in coal, oil and LNG over an ocean contested by an increasingly hostile neighbor must be very worrying to them.

OpenRelay | Anywhere | Looking for: cofounder

In the early stages of conceptualizing an eurodollar savings and payment platform for the expatriate world that is centered on the Middle East. I am a finance and risk guy who codes. You enjoy fundraising and running a tight operational ship. Bonus points if you have any experience with financial systems in: the GCC (Qatar, KSA, Oman, UAE, Kuwait), Egypt, Lebanon, South Asia (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and possibly India) or the Philippines.

The people I want to serve work hard for not much money and deserve better than what the financial system is currently offering them. If you are interested in making a difference drop me a line at kamil at openrelay dot io

Edit to add: this isn't a crypto product, sorry: the plan for now is to thrive within the confines of traditional financial systems.

supply chain disruption, labor increases

All of these things have either reduced or stabilized over the last two years, but prices seem to keep going up. Strange!

Just look at this text attempting to pass itself off as serious analysis of SpaceX.

Since its heady days during the Apollo program, NASA has steadily become an agency filled with checkers, rather than doers... Part of the magic of SpaceX is that it's filled with doers, with relatively few checkers

If Eric Berger ever has anything bad to say about SpaceX, I will chop my costume cowboy hat up into small pieces and eat all of it.

None.

Hold up, is anyone hosting anything other than non-nsfw content on imgur?

100% serious.

If capital is planning on being this dumb, as labor I have no problem whatsoever relieving them of their monetary burdens.

Because the median voter's eyes will glaze over as soon as you say "oil futures term structure", and is more likely to say what you just did than to entertain the idea that there may be a second order game in play.

The people who need to know, know. Everyone else can pretend that there are children in charge.
