So like describing the properties of a sphere by using a circle.

“We are getting bad press around the hacking incident. We need some content to draw attention from it.”

Do you have kids?

In SF they would be taken quickly by the homeless for parts, probably the batteries most of all. That and rummaged through for drugs, or repurposed to deliver drugs.

Clever but that’s not how we measure latency.

Why would they snoop your traffic?

Ah, because they can.

Mens rea

Dang that’s expensive. We pay $0.75/M through a vendor

Or the time they had available. Maybe they have a full time job, parents to care for, kids to care for. But still they wanted to scratch the itch.

They’ve had two of the Isaac 0 bots at the laundromat down the street from me for months. I’ve been impressed watching them evolve.

It’s a probabilistic parrot

The hero we needed

Grafana knows their open source products are eating into revenue. Expect corresponding strategy to offset that.

You can communicate like this and have it be effective if you have an established good relationship with the recipient. That’s why team cohesiveness is important.

Context of whom you are communicating with is also important. That’s the trade off of approaches like these rules. In some situations they are fine. In others not so much.

Why do you need a proxy? Pull the queries off the network. You’re adding latency to every query!

The problem with increasing your following distance though is now you get other drivers cutting in, and you’re back to where you started

Dang 560 watt draw. About the same ratio as other LED options at 90 limens per watt though.

Thank you for making this

Hey now he said 1,000ms, not 1 second

Tariffic

A rule that has suited me well is to take an estimate, double it, and increase by an order of magnitude for inexperienced developers. So a task the say would take two weeks ends up being 4 months. For experienced developers, halve the estimate and increase by an order of magnitude. So your 10 days estimate would be 5 weeks.

Yep, homeostasis

Here’s the American association of dermatology recommendation. They say don’t try to get your vitamin D from the sun. https://www.aad.org/media/stats-vitamin-d

You have to be careful of the perceived politics around this. Tall poppies get cut down. I still don’t totally understand why but sometimes taking initiative doesn’t sit well with the folks who want their trains to run on time.

Someone smart I know coined it as “wrong but useful”
