OpenTelemetry's secret weapon | Software, thoughts, and stuff
As OpenTelemetry's adoption has surged, it's drawn increasing criticism: it's complex, isn't fully matured, and its user experience can feel... unpolished. While these are valid gripes, I think we've ...

Optimizing OpenTelemetry Resource Attributes

The key to meaningful telemetry? Metadata. service.name is the foundation—without it, you’re just logging. Adding service.version makes rollouts easier.

Swiss farmers are suing their gov't to act on #climatechange before their farms become unviable, citing losses of 10–40% over the past 3 years

Case was initially rejected & plaintiffs are still awaiting the outcome of an appeal

But it marks a significant shift in farmers' attitudes on the issue:

Every day, we get more evidence that congestion pricing is making car trips faster in Manhattan, making bus travel more reliable, and increasing the use & load factor of our mass transit system. Cannot think of a recent policy that has been so *immediately* successful. www.fox5ny.com/news/has-nyc...

Quicker trips, fewer traffic jams, and shifts in commuting patterns are becoming more apparent. Here's what MTA officials are saying since congestion pricing has been implemented:

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

DeepSeek is now a top 3 App Store app.

The saying “necessity is the mother of invention” fits here. Biden’s chip bans pushed Chinese firms to innovate, leading to DeepSeek’s AI, trained for millions, competing with OpenAI’s model, which cost hundreds of millions to develop.

There is no moat.
