If there’s anyone who’d build a Prometheus compatible ingestion and query engine, I thought it’d been Cloudflare consider the usage.
But I guess Tesla got there first.

To this day, I still don’t understand why a lot of English books’ information density is so low.

Like you need to repeat a point a 100 times in 100 different ways.
If most books just stick to a point and move on, pages probably can be reduced < 1/10.

Winston Churchill said of the Battle of Britain pilots, “Never was so much owed to so few.” To these cowardly Republicans, we can only say, “Never was so few to blame for so much.”

The Worst Generation
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Greatest Generation, which beat back authoritarianism around the globe. But today's Republican Party has made a mockery of that legacy.

Bare metal is not the worst when you know what you're doing.
The speed and performance is just unparalleled.

not sure if you're aware since it has been like this for the last 30m+.

The peek of Japanese software mediocrity.

Instead of figuring out a way to handle increased website load, create a queue for checkout with over 1h wait time.

Being on a team that is moving fast and getting shit done is one of the best feelings in the world.

As my coworker @gsiener.bsky.social says... it's not "happy engineers ship fast"; it's that engineers who ship fast ARE HAPPY ENGINEERS.

It's not the whole story, but it's a lot of it. ☺️

The most persistent rookie manager problem I've encountered is the belief that managers are there to make their teams happy.

That is not the job.

Their job is to build highly functional teams that move the business forward. People on these teams are usually happy, but that's a trailing indicator.

From one of my favorite posts of all time:

"It is impossible to foster a psychologically safe culture if persistent underperformance goes unaddressed. Psychologically safe culture is not centered around being nice, it is centered around being fair"

1. I’m surprised Reddit has JP presence
2. Even Japanese people who generally admire US seems to be pissed with US, mainly the orange trash now

Takes quite some effort to achieve that level of annoyance.

Ah fuck, should’ve shorted Tesla.
Always missed the timing.

Damn, elgot fells so much more snappier and just generally well integrated with emacs.

nixd packages actually will even list the package versions too. that's really nice
Feel like it’s time to move from lsp-mode to elgot now that elgot is merged into core Emacs.

I turn off most of lsp-mode’s features anyways

The main takeaway for the shitshow at the White House recently is basically, no one should trust US' commitment to any future memorandum.

You just can't take someone's word for NOT doing something, you still need to have the power for deterance.

Meaning generally speaking a weaker alliance overall

Such a hilariously stupid comment.

Many systems in this era handle more transactions than the US voting system needs in less than an hour.
Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."

Interesting, the moment I enabled IPv6 on my home network, everything is crazy fast.

I wonder why?

California's ScholarShare 529 kinda sucks.
For a state that tries to show that it cares about people, it doesn't seem to try to benefit kids' education that much.

I'd love to talk with someone who is using or has used Red Panda on prod before.

Really hard to find blogs about real world use cases for evaluation purposes.

With Dell's news of consolidating brands, I remembered I have a 2019 XPS 15 somewhere.

Was able to dig it up, replace the keyboard from a parts on Amazon and revived it with NixOS.

This specific model seems to have some weirdness working with Linux but all good now!

Building is very easy but it also lowers the bar to build stupid things.

As much as I like NixOS and how it made my life so much easier, the syntax is obscure af, and it's super hard to work with because of how bad the documentations are.

My recent migration from channels to flakes based OS configuration probably would've taken 5x more time without the help of Claude.
