Sorry if I was ambiguous before. When I said "log format", I was referring to the message part of the log line. Standardized timestamp, line in the source code that emitted the log…

You can't realistically expect every log format to get a custom schema declared for it prior to deployment.

Sure the relative difference between the fastest and slowest approach is 5x. But the absolute difference is still just 125.23 ns. For some perspective, 1 millisecond / 125.23 ns = …

As you correctly point out, everything you can do with metrics can be achieved via logs if you have enough compute and I/O. But that ignores the reality of what happens when you do…

Graphing metrics and doing transformations/comparisons is (much) faster. Yes, metrics do have to be defined first but in my experience that's a non-issue since the things you want …

I think the author is asserting that trading away the hackability is worth the faster compile times because faster compiles lets you iterate faster and therefore increases hackabil…

From the summary of the bill: > Private insurance that duplicates benefits offered under New York Health could not be offered to New York residents. --- My interpretation of that i…

If they're no longer manufacturing older devices, they're probably not manufacturing parts for them anymore either. The only new iPhone that Apple is selling that's not on the repa…

Keep in mind that a substantial portion of users now use ad blockers such that a lot of URLs used for analytics like this are blocked. Consequently, you can't actually expect to ca…

One interesting thing is that First Class Parcels have noticeably faster delivery times than First Class Letters (as long as you both start and end in the continental US).

I've personally experienced three kinds of coding interviews. 1. Trivial questions that can be done very quickly; e.g. does this list of integers contain any duplicate integers? 2.…

I'd upgrade personally since the further behind you get, the more painful it becomes to upgrade down the road.

To continue that quote from above: > A rationale for this is presented in Appendix A Strength of Memorized Secrets. The relevant part of which reads: > The minimum password length …

They have been moving to services, but all of their other services are distinctly mass consumer oriented; e.g. TV+, Music streaming, Fitness+ videos, Arcade, News+, iCloud photo ba…

I'm surprised Apple supports custom email domains to any extent. Apple is a consumer electronics company. Hosted email on custom domains is very distinctly not a typical consumer b…

Could you not argue the same thing for almost any code used by almost any piece of software closer to the metal? e.g. someone manages to slip malicious code into Chrome/Chromium wh…

Can you expand on what you mean by "rent seeking" in this context? Regarding subscription fees, there's nothing wrong with paying for software.

In NYC at least, electric supply charges are distinct line items from electric delivery charges. Consumers do have the option of choosing who supplies their electricity (e.g. namel…

For websites, the value is that feature flags should be much faster than the revert/deploy cycle. At $PRIOR_JOB, a revert/deploy or rollback takes tens of minutes of the main appli…

I fully agree. I cannot stress how much I appreciate how Apple TV is the only mainstream video hardware that is completely ad free. Yes it's pricey (in comparison to other video st…

I've had my Vizio TV (P55-F1, 2019 model; a mid range model) for about 2.5 years now. Image/sound quality is great. But the annoyances and overall mediocrity of the OS and its upda…

In the year I used it, I never personally noticed it going down. Although that being said, their SLA is only 99.9% delivery in any calendar month within 5 minutes. The penalty for …
