Putting 2 servings of ice cream in a thick plastic jar was always a dumb gimmick.

Borrows from Business Operating System (BOS) - in use for decades.

Yes, you nailed it. Old data is important sometimes, like when a problem has been identified and investigated, but most workloads are looking at the current state of the system. So…

At Cronitor we use ClickHouse, but we're leaving it behind for our next product and building directly on Parquet and DuckDB. We think the future of observability in the AI age is s…

Flew into CDG two days ago. US citizens. Passport control did not take fingerprints from any of us.

You might just be taking people too literally. I've heard the same thing -- if they take a job they will lose money. What they really mean is that if they take a job (trade time fo…

You seem to be using family income and not household income for 1970. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEFAINUSA672N

This is a great addition to the neighborhood!

That’s a charitable read. Remember she also thought that New York would “lose millions” if Amazon put their hq2 there. Just because she’s in congress you can’t assume she understan…

I setup a few systemd timers last year and created https://systemd.guru to play with different options in OnCalendar expressions.

You can get a lot done with agentic programming without going "all in" on a gastown-like system, but I think there is a minimum viable setup: 1. an adversarial agent harness that u…

I adopted a couple of these, the api design and ui testing ones have been particularly helpful.

Such a long blog post with so little evidence. How hard would it have been to create a test repo, make a branch with monolithic specs, make another branch with these scattered spec…

I think we are so far apart on our world view that I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

Yeah it distorts the property market. It doesn’t create a budget crisis as suggested.

Yeah there are a lot of pathologies on both sides. Democrats, for example, have loved to stoke the class war for the last 10+ years. Every week you hear a new take on how billionai…

I love it here, California has been good to me. But it really is OK to hold government to high standards.

You really think california localities have a revenue problem? Prop 13 dos not limit property tax collection: it changes the distribution of it. It means I pay 40x more than my nei…

You clearly have a low opinion of republicans. I do too! Where we differ is that I have a low opinion of democrats too. I see many dem partisans say how much better they are than r…

Also agriculture and tourism. We truly enjoy an abundance.
