pooper

I think that's because there is a period at the end

Here is the link with the comma and the period html encoded

Speaking of opentelemetry, I try to use open telemetry with my personal projects in an asp dotnet as well as with a dotnet console app. I don't have the required corporate background in opentelemetry. I had to write my own file log exporter. I didn't write it myself -- I used Claude to write it for me in jsonl format which seemed like a good way to have each row in json and for the console app, I get a file something like this

``` logs_2025-12-24_0003.jsonl ```

I asked Claude to keep it in an xdg folder and it chose

``` /home/{username}/.local/share/{applicationName}/telemetry/logs ```

I also have folders for metrics and traces but those are empty.

I have never had a need to look at the logs for the dotnet console app I have and the only reason I have looked at the logs on the asp dotnet app was to review errors when I ran into some error on my asp dotnet application, which frankly I don't need open telemetry for.

What am I missing here? Am I using it wrong?

If you use open telemetry, where do your logs, metrics, and traces go? Do you write your own custom classes to write them to a file on the disk? Do you pay for something like datadog (congratulations on winning the lottery I guess?)

I appreciate your reply. Thank you for helping me learn.

For those on iPhones or respectable mobile network operators, not everyone has as good of an experience as you do.

For people who buy subsidized Android-based phones from some carriers such as Metro by T-Mobile USA, they either come with bloatware baked in or they download the bloatware when you first activate the device or something like that.

These things are fairly easy to disable if you know what you are doing but if you don't know what you are doing, I can imagine people will simply put up with ads showing up every time you pick up the phone. It can get annoying VERY quickly.

To play the devil's advocate, more people are born every day and as long as there are more developers today than there were yesterday, lifetime licenses can bring in a trickle of money each month, especially if the marginal cost of each new customer is zero or near zero.

Nothing worse than being famished and getting one measly slice of pizza.

I am not exactly a big guy but even I can easily eat two slices of pizza and I am talking about real slices of the Costco pizza which I love for its value for money. I can't imagine how you could feed a team of eight with a single pizza.

Power corrupts, end of story.

Not all corruption is obvious though. Sometimes you think you are doing the right thing, "just need to bend the rules slightly over here". It is all for a "good cause". I feel like I am as much worried about people who are the righteous wrong, as much as people who are just out there trying to grift to make a buck.

The fact is allowing any type of unsigned update on HTTP is a security flaw in itself.

Reminds me about ten years or so ago when I was installing Debian or something and I noticed the URL for the apt install mirrors were http and not https. People helpfully pointed out this is a non issue because the updates are signed.

Ok I guess but then why did Debian switch to https?

Yes, because you would only run such an updater software on Windows.

I see hundreds of tweets by @amazon that reply to people complaining how deliveries miss the dates that amazon dot com promised but then amazon dot com probably delivers so many packages every day that I think it is a bit of column A and a bit of column B here.

Congratulations on your release! Looks great. Runs great so far. I was able to log into HN just fine on Fedora.

What are your thoughts on upgrading gnome 48 to 49 as a dependency?

This 'sandwich fallacy' perfectly illustrates why I think sports should be removed from the university system. Universities are great 'bakeries' (centers of learning), but they’ve become bogged down trying to run massive 'sandwich shops' (commercial sports). It’s okay for these to exist, but they should be independent entities so the school can focus on being a school.

accuracy versus precision is something we learn in high school chemistry.

When someone at that level pretends to not understand it, there is no way to mince words.

This is malice.

Everybody says I should be ok having no privacy and yet frown upon me posting photos of the poop I take on Instagram.

I appreciate the writer actually taking the time to explain why `george`. I have worked in some projects where some thing-a-majing or another is called `valhalla` or `thor` or something or another but there is no documentation as to why it is called that and the people who were responsible for naming them so have already ridden into the sunset. If I ever meet him, I "just want to talk" to this CTO who named US East region 2 as "eu2".

You say that as if it isn’t the entire reason why these interactions should be avoided at all costs. Dynamic pricing should be a crime.

Does segmentation also count as dynamic pricing?

I am thinking about getting a completely different apple id when I get my next iPhone. I don't have a paid developer account. Or do they actively prohibit multiple accounts? I've never tried on Apple before but I have multiple goog.e accounts and it seems fine to have different accounts on different Android devices?

Pooping at the job is one thing but pooping at the job and trying to sell it as a favor to the customer is a whole different game.

Seems an interesting oversight. I can just imagine the roundtable, uhh guys who do we charge for 403? Who can we charge? But what if people hit random buckets as an attack? Great!

It is amazing, isn't it? Something starts as an oversight but by the time it reaches down to customer support, it becomes an edict from above as it is "expected behavior".

AWS was kind enough to cancel my S3 bill. However, they emphasized that this was done as an exception.

The stench of this bovine excrement is so strong that it transcends space time somehow.

E-ink is already pretty expensive as a display technology

but why? is it because of patents? Shouldn't this technology get cheaper with time?

The big one to me is paid content should be clearly labeled as paid content and should be skippable programmatically and in bulk. Things like product placement.

Can you please elaborate on this? I am unable to follow the logic here.

For anyone who wants my username and password, I tried the following for both username and password. Feel free to use this as your demo (remember your scout's promise though).

Edit: looks like I managed to break my instance without even trying. I can't edit my first task that I created.

https://demo.kaneo.app/dashboard/workspace/nyxfpvfgkk412xg4n...

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Log in as billg@microsoft.com 
  2. Click on workspace Microsoft Blue 
  3. Click on project DataCenters 
  4. Click on the first task, DAT-1 Build data centers around the world 
  5. Observe the screen just says "Task edit" with nothing else there.

Here is one example of what I think is boring. Is this what you had in mind?

Bank of England Cuts Interest Rates as British Economy Weakens

The central bank cut rates for the third time in about six months as it said growth had been weaker than expected.

I would only use something like this that requires absolutely no authentication. For example, I had a one page app that showed me instantly when the next shuttle(s) were scheduled for my stop. Instead of having to click through multiple steps, this allowed me to see it in one step. As far as I know, I was the only user for this thing I built and put up on gitlab pages. I don't know exactly because I didn't bother to track who visited the page.

Party affiliation is public information, at least in Virginia.

》 we shouldn't have bailed him out.

I don't have a horse in this race but the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "we shouldn't have bailed him out" is silicon valley bank and its depositors. That to me was the biggest show of hypocrisy by silicon valley.

I didn't know that working for a state-funded college meant my pay information would be public information until one day someone told me they googled me and found how little I was making...

if the stakeholders knew how to do what they needed to build and how, then they could use LLMs, but translating complex requirements into code is something that these tools are not even close to cracking.

They don't have to replace you to reduce headcount. They could increase your workload so where they needed five senior developers, they can do with maybe three. That's like six one way and half a dozen the other way because two developers lost a job, right?

Is nobody in these very rich guys' spheres pushing back on their thought process?

I will take a wild guess and say a qualified no in the sense that nobody who report directly to these people said anything against it and my conspiracy theory is that they were not idiots who didn't have their own misgivings but they prized their own personal gain / "professional growth" by being yes men over doing what they had a professional responsibility.

My favorite example is the Amazon Fire Phone

Jeff Bezos reportedly "...envisioned a list of whiz-bang features... NFC for contactless payments, hands-free interactions to allow users to navigate the interface through mid-air gestures and a force-sensitive grip that could respond in different ways to various degrees of physical pressure", most of which ultimately did not end up in the final product. He also "obsessively monitored the product", requiring "even the smallest decisions needed to go by him".

Did nobody think that an expensive phone would make sense with a value conscious audience of Amazon.com? If nobody (who directly reports to the CEO) dares question even a relatively minor thing like this, how can we expect them to say anything about major/existential issues in a company such as "Open" AI?

The article says

> This is entirely in keeping with how the KDE project as a whole works: for instance, if you search the KDE Applications website for "text editor", you'll find three: Kate, KWrite, and Nota. If you search for "file manager", you'll find four; and "web browser", three. Within the desktop, there are multiple start-menu tools, multiple app-switching panel-button bars, and so on. Even the "About" option on the "Help" menu is duplicated: one tells you version information (in one of two version formats, either decimal-number based or date-based), and one tells you about KDE as a whole.

I think they are ALMOST right. Yes, different people use different apps. Yes, it should be possible to download fifteen different web browsers or twenty five different text editors. However, there should be a coherent DEFAULTS story. By default, when you install an operating system, we should have ONE default COMPLETE web browser, one COMPLETE text editor, and so on.

I don't think when you install an operating system, it should install an office productivity software suite such as Microsoft Office or Libre Office by default.
