It feels like the internet‘s cooked us into presenting every position in the strongest moral terms and responding to every disagreement as an all-out attack that must be annihilated before it destroys everything and it seems not great

🎵 last night was the first night in eons i played a bass trombone part. The lowest notes were occasional F1/G1s while regularly cranking out E5-D5s gave me a new appreciation for lung capacity

I wish I knew. It’s also painful for client side metrics on empheral workers.
Does anyone know why all cloud-native open source ecosystem uses pull model to expose their /metrics (instead of pushing the metrics)? Pull model is really poor when the metric cardinality exposed on a single endpoint increases.

@stevekamb.com is there a place to buy a digital copy of Level Up Your Life? Ideally for a Kobo device. I saw your note about an updated version coming in 2026, but I’m having trouble waiting that long.

the driver of a totally packed 8 line bus in seattle only allowed the bus to be entered/exited from the driver’s entrance/exit, instead of the other 2 doors that open on the bus.
yay fare enforcement? hopefully there’s a way to collect fares and not slow down normal bus entry/exits
