we started with codemonkey.com, felt a little tedious, but I am pretty sure my kid picked up some knowledge unconsciously

then we did Scratch and Python with the 'turtle' library. She liked both, but Scratch gave her the feeling of achievement faster, because typing was taking too long

enjoy, you deserve rest until the end of the year 🎉😎

A simple example, was the Iraq war good?

Put the boundaries of the military industrial complex and you get the answer: YES

Put the boundaries of innocent people of Iraq, the answer is definitely: NO

Both are facts, just boundaries and perspectives are different

Boundaries of math are strict and defined by axioms and formulas.

Boundaries of journalism are loose and defined by biases and incomplete facts (which makes it difficult to draw strict lines)

If journalism is exercised by human beings, journalists, there will always be a bias.

It's very difficult to get over the bias obtained through years of life experience. We just can't start behaving like robots with no emotions.

no you are not, finding absolute truth is not so easy sometimes

"Why I'm paying $200/month for ChatGPT Pro"

reality: I'm not, I just wanted another LI post to stay relevant in LI algorithm and asked GPT-4o to write a post about why I should pay 200$/month for GPT

Your style is amazing, especially how you communicate emotions 👏

I do agree that "Mean" (in most contexts) can hide useful information (or meaningless), but when an event is expected to be rare, mean/avg stats can still be helpful to improve the system.

I think this is a very similar discussion about mean time vs percentiles for latencies. And a lot of times we look at P99.

IMO, MTTR was selected for business purposes, coz when it comes to systems out of control, it should be rare, when it's rare, difficult to rely on percentiles.

interesting 🤔, any reason why MTTR is meaningless? in which context recovery time is meaningless?
